We ate at Nomadโs last week during their opening dinner service. We booked for 5:45pm and felt like we were the first ones, till it all filled up quickly! Was nice seeing the kitchen prepping for the dinner service. I would recommend sitting bar section to get into the action. Great food, excellent service, and a modern sleek atmosphere. We ordered the goat shawarma, wood fired bread, yellow fin tuna, zucchini flower, spatchcock, marketfish, woodfired eggplant and the toasted rice muhallebi. The best dish by far was the spatchcock. The rest was okay depending on ur palate.
Everything about this restaurant started off amazing, and it honestly could have been a 5-star experienceโฆ until the lamb main. Unfortunately, it was simply 'yuck' (really hate to use this word)โ no better word for it โ which is why Iโm giving 2 stars. The meal started strong: the zaโatar bread, hummus, and zucchini flowers were all so good and got smashed instantly. We also ordered two glasses of wine โ the Nomad one was especially great. The chicken with toum and chillies was another standout; super moist and absolutely demolished it. The iceberg salad was delicious and really aesthetic too. Also want to mention that the waiter who served us was very friendly and kind, which made the experience even nicer. But the lambโฆ had two bites and immediately nope. It was very gamey, dry, and had a strange taste. I also didnโt enjoy the eggplant sauce or the greens it came with. Really wish I didnโt pay for it because it was expensive and felt like such a waste. Everything else was fantastic, but the lamb sadly brought the whole experience down.
Such a fantastic experience! From the food to the service, everything was perfect!! Our server Liam? Iโm not sure what his name was but he had amazing service. As soon as our waters were empty and before I even noticed it was empty, he filled it up swiftly. Also while remembering who wanted tap and who wanted sparkling. And this was also while maintaining the same service to several other customers. I was truely impressed with his level of professionalism and attention towards customers. Other than that the food was absolutely amazing, extremely tender meat thatโs well seasoned and cooked to perfection! Also the warehouse vibe of the restaurant is super vibey while still feeling fancy. Truely impressed with the high quality of everything! 10/10!
Amazing food; lovely service. Great wine list. The Dry-Aged Pork and the Empenada were standouts. The Iceberg side was a touch disappointing in the company of the other incredible dishes but thatโs just to my tastes. We ordered too much to fit in any dessert but Iโll be back purely to try the Comte & Apple tart
Nomad is a fantastic spot with a great vibe and delicious food. We shared the Mezze lunch platter which was an excellent blend of flavours and textures. Itโs mostly vegetarian but has two chicken skewers, but all freshly made, beautifully presented and the perfect mix of dishes. Good value as you get to try so many of the dishes. Staff were super friendly and there was a happy hum in the restaurant. Sitting at the kitchen bar was fun for us to see the great systems and just how fresh everything was.
