I'm sure we've discussed this restaurant before, but in a different forum section.
The restaurant moved from next to el-Masala and Tut-Ankh-Amon near the West Bank motor boats last autumn, and is now about a mile further up-river along the poor corniche road.
As I was the only visitor last night my food was prepared at the owner's home and brought to the restaurant. This may have delayed the service, but the food was even better than on previous visits. When the road access is improved then this restaurant is definitely worth a visit. There is a long pier into the Nile outside the door, and this could probably be used for small boats.
Go on Brian, I'll buy it, this place is not yet another banana island, is it?
Could you give an approximate position, for example, which hotel on the EB, would be opposite this place, which I assume must be at the extreme south end of the Ramla.

Maybe it's the only way for some to get the home cooked food experience. Thankfully, some of us are privileged to be able to experience the home cooked food in the home environment with the good company to go with it.

I remember a work colleague telling us about going to a restaurant in downtown Cairo that they had not eaten at in many years and quite to their shock and surprise, the food they ordered had to be brought in from outside as the restaurant was no longer a restaurant but still masquerading as a restaurant as a cover for something else.

I gave you a good approximate position. The wifi at Sonesta is visible, although weak.
If it did get flooded then a lot of the nile front cafes at the north end of mugger's alley would also flood as the nile flower is on raised ground. When it was being built a couple of years ago the water came up to the road but no further.
I used to have Camp As Salam years ago, we bought the land during the inundation then built an Island, at night time. (nicking sand from the desert is illegal) If one lives on a flood-plane and, doesn't build an island well, 'how stupid is that ?
Driving to the camp was always fun

Pollution of the Nile is something I think we can pin fairly & squarely on the natives.
Unlike pollution of the Red Sea where tourists have a significant impact.
