The Nile Cafe

This was my first visit to The Nile Cafe, vegan soul food on Germantown Avenue across from FUMCOG. The atmosphere is bright, clean, and sunny with lots of plants and light colored wood tables. You order at the window and they bring you your food. My Jerk Drumsticks were excellent, along with brown rice and gravy. I appreciated their being served in cute round cardboard containers, rather than plastic. Also, all set to bring home half my lunch for dinner. Be sure to get a drink. The food is SPICY! Folks from Mt. Airy tend to go north to Chestnut Hill rather than south to Germantown - hence it took me a long time to check out Nile Cafe. I will return!

Updating my review after trying more of the food. Everything I had was good (jerk chicken, greens, plantains, beef patties, macacau shake) but the portion sizes for entrees are too small for the price.

I don’t do reviews but this spot shocked me. Portions were huge for the combo platter. Food came out quick. Everything was good. I had the Jerk chickpeas, Roast duck, and two sides of collard greens and sweet potatoes.

This was my first time ordering food at the Cafe and it was fresh and seasoned perfectly for me. I had a platter with collard greens, brown rice with gravy and sweet potatoes and their filtered water. I loved everything and the outside seating is spacious and clean. I highly recommend this spot for food, knowledge and entertainment!

I live in Berks county wish they were closer. The food is always so tasty. I’d be there daily but I hate the drive 😢. Highly recommend, even non vegans would be pleasantly surprised. Thank you
