The Nile Cafe offers healthy and delicious food options, specializing in plant-based soul food and hoagies, with several baked goods for dessert. The modest interior is lightly decorated and features expanded outdoor seating, creating a spacious area for diners. The laid-back atmosphere is perfect for takeout, and the staff work thoughtfully to prepare orders, even if it takes a little extra time. Locals often cycle in, order, wait, and cycle out constantly. Menu highlights include the "beef" patty with a flaky crust, jerk chick'n with perfectly balanced spice served with sautéed cabbage and plantains, and the BBQ chicken, praised for its not-too-sweet sauce. The restaurant also impresses with various sides and dessert options like coffee ice cream, apple crumb bar, and moist cake, with the white bean soup being a crowd favorite. Overall, Nile Cafe packs a serious flavor punch into their soul food, with generous portions at very reasonable prices.
