Went there with my mom for an Iftar gathering. It's fairly close, at an early point of Maadi's Nile. Food portion was OK, taste was OK, nothing fancy or outstanding. It was like a home-cooked meal. They had a folkloric dance show afterwards, but they demand that photos taken with dancers are done by their own photographers, not personal mobile phones. The sail took a little more than an hour, while they said it should last for 2 hours. And didn't sail too far. But it was a smooth sail. It was an OK experience. But I wouldn't revisit.
There was free car parking available, I liked the dancing and the vibes it was enthusiastic. The program should have 2 hours cruising in the Nile, but we had only 1 hour, yet it was great enjoying the view. The concern was that the terrible buffet they had had, with dirty serving plates and poor quality food. I say it is Ok price in general compared to the service.
This is one of the worst I've ever seen! First, the restaurant's A/Cs were not working properly. All people were sweating like crazy while having the food. When I asked the manager to either turn the AC temperature down, he ridiculously said, "it's OK, thats fine, it's all 5 min and then you'll head to roof". Secondary, the people serving the food were giving piece by pieces when you ask them!!!!! Like "Mahshy", they pick up the smallest one and drop it in your plate. The chicken was SUPER awful!!! Kofta also not sure what beef was this!!! It sounds like it's been cooked a week ago and they served it to you after warming it up!!! The table at the roof like from 1950!!!! Super old and outdated furniture!!! You feel like they're just running the business to let you pay and taking advantage of you ignorance at the reality! Thirdly, they said the boat would move at 7:30 pm and kept waiting for this. The boat has NOT moved until 08:50 (almost 9 pm) where you literally can see NOTHING fromt even Nile River, at all!!! Complete dark!!! Would never do it again, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone! Look for another cruise.
