Staff here is amazing! Before I placed my order, my waitress brought out a bunch of items for me to…read moretry since this was my first time at the restaurant. I liked every sample but I ended up with the Efo Riro (pronounced eh-faw ree-raw) or the "vegetable soup" with goat and a side of fufu. It comes from the Yoruba people of Southwest Nigeria. "Efo" means greens/spinach, and "Riro" means to stir. So, it literally translates to "stirred greens." I choose this because it has a deep, savory, earthy, and slightly pungent flavor, that is the secret ingredient called Iru (fermented locust beans). It acts like umami (similar to how soy sauce or miso works in Asian cuisine). The greens are cooked down in a rich sauce made of red bell peppers, Scotch bonnet peppers (for heat), onions, and Palm Oil. The palm oil is what gives West African food its distinct richness and often a reddish-orange tint. Instead of rice, I got the Fufu (The "Swallow"). It's a white ball made from real yams, not sweet potatoes or fermented Cassava. In Nigeria, this category of food is called "Swallow." It isn't meant to be chewed on its own like bread; it is meant to be swallowed along with the soup. My waitress brought out a bowl of water and taught me how to eat the Fufu. She told me to pinch off a small piece of the Fufu, roll it into a ball with my fingers, make a small indentation with your thumb (to turn it into a spoon), scoop up the Efo Riro and meat, and swallow it. Texture is like sticky dough. It is a blank canvas designed to balance out the intense spice and saltiness of the Efo Riro. I wish I had more time but I had a flight to catch. Otherwise, I would have taken advantage of their Sunday buffet and try all the other dishes they have to offer! Oh, did I mention how amazing their entire staff is? Right before I left, another waitress gave me a puff puff to try. It's like a chewy fried doughnut and that was delicious! Will be back for their buffet when I'm in the area.

Beautiful! It was…read moresuch a beautiful experience. Shout out to Sid, our hostess/ waiter for coming through. The service was great - everyone was great! The food was tasty. For me as an American it tastes really close to Caribbean food, just a little more potent or stronger. Not salty or super spicy .. just.. super flavorful. Fu fu taste like mash potatoes with no salt or butter lol. Do I recommend ? Yes. Would I go back? Yes.

It was enjoyable to lean into the culture and eat with the provided injera. It's a smaller restaurant with a small staff so service is slower than a standard restaurant.

We got the asun, jollof rice, swallow. The meats on these dishes were just all bone.... Portion size was tiny given the price. Swallow is basically non flavored mashed potatoes that's like in a ball. Also when we got there, the doors are all locked and we had to ring the bell multiple times. The take out area is tiny and we did not really feel welcome... we drove 30+ minutes for this. This will probably be our first and last time here.

My first experience with African food, my ancestors are from Mali and Bantu, they are turning in their craves that I was served such mess. Mother Oshun please forgive them. They should be ashamed of themselves for real. And it's not like it took forever to be delivered and it ruined the floor, I live less than a mile from the store.

***DO NOT PARK AT THE HIGH SCHOOL!!!***…read more my wife and I had reservations at 7 and it was jam packed. we weren't sure where to park, the high school parking lot was open and full of cars so we thought this was overflow parking. we finished our meal and came out to the gates of the lot around 830pm Saturday night (03/07) and they were locked up. The tow company listed on the sign said they do not service the gate. We didn't see any security. We went back to Cybel and they weren't aware that that would happen. We had to uber home. Thankfully there's a Sunday market we will go back in the morning to pick up the car. Other than that, food was great. Service was fantastic. It's BYOB if you plan on drinking.

Cybele lists as a French-Moroccan cuisine.. I did not see the French influence, however the…read moreMoroccan influence was evident. Nathan our server was well informed and gave good suggestions , he is familiar with the food. They have influence from Morocco in the decor, the music and the spices they use. There are few vegetarian options with the exception of the salads and a sampler platter. I did not see any vegan options. The sampler plate gives you a taste of many things, however, so much of the food is wheat based and more than likely sourced from the US not Morocco.. US uses a lot of glyphosphate and GMO in the wheat. And it is difficult to digest. One of the people in our group had the chicken Angie and said the chicken was good.. it was served with French fries and they were not good. Most likely not made in house. If you have never been to Morocco it may be a nice place to try. The mint tea is nice. I did not have any dessert.

We had an assortment of finger food (briwat), which are actually a very large size (enough for a meal) instead of the spring roll size we were expecting. Delicious and great value. We also tried chef Habiba's Bastilla which is incredible. The selection of traditional Moroccan cookies is very similar to what you'd find in a nice patisserie in Morocco, like Chebakiya, honey nuts briwats etc... but those specialty delicacies are very intricate and time consuming to make, and therefore hard to find abroad. I was surprised to see them behind the glass display but here they are, light and crispy with that delicate refined flavour I remember from 20 years ago. Next time we drive by Orlando, we will make sure to try a couple of tajines and kefta sandwich. Exceptional place, thank you so much for the amazing food!

Tucked away in a non descript Orlando strip mall, Nile doesn't have a lot going on outside to draw people in, but those who get there are rewarded.

Lots of variety at the buffet with all dishes well seasoned and flavorful! I don't eat much African food, so a lot of the items were new but familiar flavors. My favorites were the Fufu and other mash next to it as well as the cabbage carrot stir fry. For desserts, honestly, they all were pretty good - gotta take a bite of everything! I would say the only downside is service is a bit slow. My niece spilled water and they got our drink orders mixed up, but I don't blame them since it's packed. Just don't expect people to be constantly checking in. They did remove finished plates pretty quickly though.

The lines were disorganized and the front desk staff yelled out RSVP names. We ended up getting sat ~15 minutes past our RSVP. The food itself was over hyped. It is a buffet so expect to wait in long lines if you want the meat items (steak, sausage, chicken etc). The service was fine and relatively fast once sat. I personally won't be going again since there's better options that are more convenient to get to if you are staying at a different Disney resort.
