好久无食中东菜，上openrice,找到此间，又好似不太贵，在soho巡一圈，走回来。餐牌，头盘一见沙甸鱼，$85,底㖞，上碟黑蚊蚊，㶶些，但得细4片，沙律菜及中东沙律酱伴碟，有三块中东包（手掌大），热辣辣，ok。沙甸鱼略咸及重味。waiter介绍羊肉好嫩好tender，Lamb tagine$185, 上枱都是黑蚊蚊，但真是嫩，用7对长锑碟盛上，中东菜多香料，佢也不例外，重口味。叫多客中东包$10，以为有2-3块，失望1块。要拣沙律，因我们看餐牌好久，唔好意思，急忙见到fig以为是pig,烧猪肉沙律，谁知上枱后，是新鲜毛花果沙律，切开一半摆5角及中间有些乳骆(芝士)系上面，即共2粒半，其他沙律菜好少，好贵啫，收$110，第一次食新鲜无花果，林林地，甜甜地，好味，惠康20几元有5~6粒。尝试未必成功，但曾经都试过。就好似爱情，唔试点知是苦，是甜！

Walked by early on a Sunday evening and were attracted by the menu. Tamer, the chef/manager was very welcoming. Appetizers were excellent, and the hummus was well seasoned and accompanied by a nicely spicy Harissa. We shared the mixed grill platter for two and it was outstanding. The vegetarian soup and cous cous accompaniment was the highlight. The seasonings were very good. Wine & beer selections were good. Unfortunately, the taps weren't working so we could not try the Egyptian draft beer. Do try this place / it's quite good.

Friday night, 同朋友食完dinner特登黎呢间nite bar 饮野。 呢间bar食埃及菜，夜晚9：30后主打shisha. 呢度环境好有异国风情，唔算好大间，但好多人，等左好一阵先有位。本身嗌左一杯apple martini, 但好甜！可能因为做开埃及菜啦。 所以我之后都系keep住叫啤酒算。Shisha 就叫左apple mint 同kiwi mint. 味道黎讲个人中意apple mint 多啲， 但kiwi mint 个个texture好啲。呢道好大冷气好大风，所以玩唔到shisha tricks。饮到咁上下有肚皮舞表演睇啦！表演既系一个非常有份量非常丰满既外国人舞者，佢著得非常性感，但跳得都几好睇，如果你接受唔到呢种视觉冲击就劝你夜啲黎。饮到闷嗌左啲snacks, 由于老板帮我地话事，我唔知呢几道菜叫咩名。有个好似炸粉条包住芝麻再点酱既，咬开入面好香香草味，佐酒一流！春卷就一般，冇乜得别，佐酒小食。仲有一个叫naan, 系中东包。好好食！！！！热辣辣好软熟！！！！！点个啲酱又系好好食。

I noticed this place when I was walking around in Soho, and got a chance to try it on an early Sunday evening. Our group of 4 ordered the babaganosh, hummus, sardines, stuffed grapes and the mixed grill (for 2). The food was delicious! The babaganosh and hummus were very fresh, and the stuffed grapes were warm and delicious. The bread was also really warm and soft. The mixed grill also came with couscous and a vegetable sauce that were both very good. Highly recommended. I'll be back!

So months ago a friend and I were strolling around the Soho area and came across a Middle Eastern/Turkish restaurant. We were checking out the menu outside the entrance when suddenly the owner walked out from the restaurant to greet us. We had a small conversation and found out that he actually also owns Sahara (which I believe is pretty famous?) as well as a new Egyptian restaurant just down the block. He brought of the his new restaurant, The Nile, where he got us drinks and had a nice chat about his life in HK. Unfortunately we both had dinner plans that day so we didn’t get to actually dine at the Nile until a few weeks ago.When we got to the restaurant on a Saturday early evening, it was quite empty and found the owner sitting outside alone. He saw us walking by and greeted us – we were surprised that he recognized us!On our previous visit, he mentioned that he bought all of the interior decor and fixtures from Egypt. It does indeed have a very nice middle Eastern flair to itWe started off with a black truffle hummus served with warm pita breadIt was well seasoned, and the truffle flavour came from truffle oil drizzled on top.The owner asked us if we liked spicy, and I said yes so he brought out a small dish of chilli sauce from the kitchen. Not sure what exactly it was, but it was VERY spicy yet addicting.For our main course we had ‘Couscous of the Nile’, which was couscous with lamb shank, served with a side of vegetable soup.While I don’t usually like lamb (or other gamey meat), this wasn’t too gamey for me. The meat was very tender and fell off the bone easily. As for the couscous, it was a little bit bland on its own but it was fine if eaten with the vegetable soup.While we only ordered two dishes, it was more than enough for the two of us. We could barely finish it!The total came out to be $284, which is very reasonable considering that it is SOHO area afterall.I don’t eat Middle Eastern cuisine very often so I cannot judge its authenticity, but taste-wise I thought it was pretty decent. Plus again, the service was nice especially from the owner. Worth a visit!
