Why Travelers Love El Dokka
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.2 / 5.0(987 reviews)
Nice location, good view, you need the boat to arrive at the restaurant. The grilled fish and beef stool were delicious. Lemon juice with peppermint was great. By the way, the drink may be over charge for the foreigners. The most scenic and romantic spot to have a tajine. By pure chance we took a cute ferry boat in aswan that brought us to the Nubian restaurant El Dokka, situated above the nile on its own little island. We had the chance to sit on the small terrace above the Nile while the sun set on the opposite river bank. The service was excellent, the baba ganoush very very good, the tajines absolutely decent. No fancy chichi, a welcoming restaurant, very good food. Make sure you try the nubian coffee! See you soon, gentle and friendly El Dokka team! A very nice place with a beautiful Nile view and a calm atmosphere. The food is good and freshly prepared, especially the Nubian dishes, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. The boat ride to the restaurant is a lovely touch and adds to the overall experience. Some dishes could be improved and the service can be a bit slow during busy times, but overall it’s a great spot to enjoy a relaxing meal by the water. A solid 4-star experience!

This place was recommend for lunch by our tour guide and it was worth the recommendation. The food was very good in quality and flavour, the ambience is well set with a good view of the nile and it's tributaries. Very good service too, based on your taste or need, they do suggest from the menu what suits the best. Worth a try while you are in Aswan. One can also enjoy the locally brewed coffee that's fresh and refreshing.

It is located in the middle of the Nile with an amazing view and premium location 👌. The welcome is very warm and the service is very friendly, they also have good menu. The food was so 🫣 disappointing in terms of taste and quality, maybe because the place was empty. Overall experience is below average.
