I've been here now a few times, and I do have to say that the service has always been top-notch, a rarity it seems. It's a nice cozy place with good ambiance and plenty of other-worldly menu options.
First off I love ethnic fare, especially if it has some kick, so this type of venue is right up my alley. On a recent visit, I was very pleased with my spicy chicken/rice entree, with generous portions of meat and plenty left over to take home for another meal (gotta love that!). I also like the complementary bread and olive oil for dipping. My companion ordered a lamb dish which he much enjoyed. On a prior visit however, I ordered an item containing ground beef and vegetables wrapped in a puff pastry. It was dry and tasteless and I left very disappointed. I learned to steer clear of similar menu items.
Overall, The Nile is an excellent choice for Mediterranean cuisine on the west side. With unique menu choices and prompt, attentive service, this place is hard to beat!
