    Nomad always offers a surprising menu. This visit ranged from pulled pork & grits to Chana masala. Full bar, decent wine and beer selection, and craft cocktails. Dim, cozy, comfortable seating. Always excellent service. Recommend! And then step right next door to Yonder bar to finish the evening!

    Food was great, outdoor patio was great, staff was friendly, good value - well worth a visit. It’s not that often that a restaurant that is cooking multiple dishes from different nationalities can pull it off and I would say they’re doing it pretty well.

    Delicious food but service was too rushed and put a damper on our evening. They rushed us to order and brought everything out so quick. Not enjoyable to be rushed like that on a Friday night with friends.

    A great experience!! The restaurant has just the right lighting and the seating is comfortable. The staff was very attentive and kind. It was obvious at least one of the owners was serving. The food was phenomenal! I had the Chana Masala and my friend had the Green Thai Curry. The flavors were so good and the spice was perfect. The naan was warm and crispy. Their cocktail selection was fun. I already want to go back and try more of their dishes!!

    Honored our reservation promptly. Others had 40 min wait. Menu is always great. Courteous and professional. Despite the crowd, service was prompt. Efficient kitchen. Love Hillsborough!
