And the servers and hostess were very cordial and accommodating. However, entry into the venue was bit disorienting and disorderly and "security" was also a bit unnecessarily rude when explaining directions and answering questions. My party and I were visiting toronto and this was our first time at Cabana Pool Bar, so everything was just a bit overwhelming when navigating parking/uber drop off, entry into venue, and inquiring table and bottle service. Security (I think) was doing way too much, maybe in anticipation of an unruly crowd, but we noticed everyone was chill and just trying to keep dry from the pouring rain. We would definitely visit again but try to ignore the attitudes of staff outside the venue. Rideshare is highly recommended but you'll still have to walk down Polson street, especially when leaving the venue. Bottle service is ridiculously expensive, especially if you don't drink alcohol. And if you're there for a performance, try delay going into the venue (if you don't have table/bottle service) because most performances start much later in the day unless otherwise stated, and there's (technically) nowhere to sit for free. Also, once you enter the venue, supposedly you are not allowed re-entry if you leave. Btw- the ladies bathroom is large and kept clean, with several stalls, sinks, and mirrors. There's also lounge seating in the bathroom. Overall, not a bad experience, but its worth a visit if you're in the area.

I got the same thing, the Lime Lit Hookah, and grabbed a table. We came during the day this time and it wasn't busy at all. They were also undergoing renovations when we were there. It's definitely more popping in the evening/night. The Lime Lit wasn't as good as the first time; the lime was a bit too overpowering and harsh and the mint was not really prominent. The hookah lasted for over 2 hours and they frequently came by to change out the coals. Still glad we stopped by!

The place filled up very quickly after that and eventually turned into a club/lounge. So I highly recommend making reservations. Ambiance: they place is lit up in red lighting, there is a dance floor, the tv was playing some Netflix show. The lounge very much caters to the south Asian population as 90% of the music played that night was Punjabi/Indian. The crowd was going wild! It was entertaining to watch. Great ventilation so the place isn't filled with smoke. Eventually, the music does get really loud so it's hard to talk. Highly recommend if you are in the mood to just dance. I enjoyed our food, it was delicious. The Shisha itself was not bad either. They do have options for shisha ranging from $25-$75. Service: the staff was nice however once we were served, they did not really come back to check up on us. We had to seek the servers attention to get assistance. Apparently, there are call buttons at each booth, not sure if that's the case for tables as well. If there was any, we were not informed.

Shisha was just Good but the amount of waiting time was ridiculous.. When we arrived the lounge was empty there was only one guy doing everything and the rest of the workers standing behind the bar doing nothing.. Anyways we ordered a whipped coffee and a hot chocolate the waiting game started it took them over 20min to bring the drinks. There is this button which you supposed to press and someone comes nothing happen after we wanted to change the Shisha coal and guess what waiting again over 15min till someone comes ... we talking about a empty lounge.... Coffee and hot coffee definitely NOT recommended. Just went after 1 hr never happened to us before in a Shisha place that we left so early.... All the best just a advise you need to change the way of customer service saying it's the first day I can understand but lounge being empty and still waiting it is not nice.... 1star for interior decor 1star for shisha

Nile River Restaurant is an excellent Egyptian restaurant serving delicious Middle Eastern fare. We…read moreloved everything that we ordered! Fried Cauliflower (Arnabeet) had tahini drizzled on it - very delectable and one of my favourite items to get at any Middle Eastern restaurant that serves it. Fried Eggplant Dinner contained small slices of eggplant, cooked until soft and covered in tahini and lemon garlic dressing. Garlic Shrimps Dinner contained big succulent shrimps sautéed in garlic and tomato sauce. The sauce was really good on the rice. Branzino Whole Fish Dinner was quite a big portion - enough to feed 2-3 people. You can opt to have the Branzino Whole Fish come deboned, where they actually took out the big bones for you. It still contained the small bones, but having it deboned made it easier to eat. Each dinner meal came with rice and house salad. You can substitute them with quinoa tabouleh salad, fattoush salad, sweet potato fries, mashed potatoes, and/or seasonal vegetables for an extra fee. The Nile House Salad contained lettuce, cucumber, tomato, red onion, and coriander. It was typical and nothing out of the ordinary, but I liked that it was light and refreshing to accompany the main dishes. The Seasonal Vegetables side was also very tasty. The green beans, carrot, red, yellow, and green bell peppers were cooked well done to a somewhat soft consistency, with just the right amount of seasoning.

I love the Egyptian spots that I have tried so far so I was definitely excited to try. I ordered the Kefta Dinner which is a mix of ground lamb and beef infused with garlic, onions, parsley and "special spices." Served with vermicelli rice and house salad. I was disappointed by this as I had also ordered extra on the side. They were all so dry. The garlic sauce helped but I totally could have used more. I also ordered hummus, quinoa tabouli salad, extra kefta and Rice Pudding. The highlight for me was was surprisingly the quinoa tabouli salad. It was fresh and delightful. The SM rice was good too by the way but you have to order that if it is not part of your order. I recommend. The rice pudding was not bad it was a little watery but I could see if it had more depth it would definitely be another highlight for me.

I use to come here for years because my friends and I lived in the area.

The owner even gave us a discount because we were regulars so you know this review isn't biased. Now that we've all moved out of the area we've seen better establishments. We now think back to Alexandria's and wonder how we ever enjoyed it. The owner constantly yelled at his employees (except the pretty foreign girls he'd hire), the hookahs were not cleaned, food orders were often forgotten and incomplete, and the furniture is shipped in from a crackhouse. Sadly the only two pluses here are parking and 24 hour availability.

I felt a little ripped off because the server told us it would be $10 but ended up being something like $25 for the shisha. I have read other reviews saying similar things about confusion with prices so make sure you double check the price on everything here if you're at all concerned.
