Nile Restaurant

Very good middle eastern food in Madison WI. Hard to find (its nestled in this little strip mall on the west side of the city) but well worth the effort.

Nile is wonderful! Great food, quick service. It's my husbands and my favorite spot in Madison. Chill, affordable, and so tasty!

Delicious. There was only one guy waiting on all the tables and he did a fantastic job. Never seemed harried and was pleasant to all.

AMBIANCE: Decent. Interesting artwork on the walls, and if you get a booth, the dividing walls are tall and the seats are comfortable. There is a private "room" that can be separated by some pretty curtains if you have a private party.

SERVICE: Service is a little lacking. For people used to dining out in typical American restaurants and diners, the long wait times between sitting down, ordering, getting the drinks and meals, and paying the bill, might be frustrating. The servers are really there to just take the order and bring the food, so don't expect any friendly chit-chat, and expect bluntness (personally, I liked this).

FOOD: DELICIOUS! The food is outstanding. Best falafel I've ever had in my life, and the "European" (aka Turkish) coffee is outstanding. The prices might seem a little bit high, but it's well worth it for the amount and quality of food you get.

OVERALL: A-. Nile Restaurant is easily one of my favorite places to eat in Madison, and I'll be a returning customer for as long as it's here.
