Went to Nomad w/a friend a few days ago for an early dinner (they aren't open for lunch). Sat in the private patio out back. This was my first exposure to North African cuisines. I had an assortment of appetizers - chicken briouats, lamb boureks, Moroccan crab cakes, and saffron grilled shrimp w/dime-sized chickpea cakes. Ea dish was beautifully plated, and the food was flavorful w/o being overwhelming. Definitely appetizer-sized portions food and plenty for me. My dining partner had salad mechouia and chicken and olive tajine which came topped w/what looked like slightly batter-dipped French fries. He enjoyed his meal as well. We both had the chocolate mousse for dessert. It had lots of tiny holes w/a surprisingly rich flavor. I ended the meal w/delicious mint tea. Nomad offers a small wine list w/choices by the glass and by the bottle. For an empty restaurant, the svc was a bit slow but very attentive when wait-staff were present. Our waitress, Nassera, was very helpful in explaining the different dishes and their countries of origin. Prices were reasonable and portions were normal (not too much; not too little). I highly recommend this restaurant and will return soon.
Pros: Every dish was delicious and well-presented
Cons: Svc was a bit slow at times
