“My husband had the Lamb Tajine which is a fragrant stew simmered with prunes, caramelized onions, spices and herbs, served with side of couscous.”
“The Pastilla was a bit on the sweet side but really unique and the duck was out of this world.”
“We enjoyed the Hallumi wrapped in grape leaves and the shrimp and then enjoyed the Lamb Tagine with Prunes and almonds.”

I came here with a deal from Gilt ($55-not including tax and tip) for 2 entrees, 2 appetizers, 1 dessert and a small pitcher of sangria. The actual prices were a bit pricey but everything we had was good! The service was nice and we were able to sit outside on a nice day. It was slightly crowded outside but not uncomfortable.
Id recommend the salmon- it was really good! The trip dip was also very good along with creme brûlée for dessert!
$10 oysters and drink for happy hour until 7pm!
I came here with a group of people and of course since it's summer there was no available seating outside so we sat indoors. The venue is medium sized and it was pretty quiet on the Friday we went. We tried the trio dip, margarita pizza, and mussles. Everything was decent and good for the price :).
A ScoutMob deal landed us here, and I have to say it was lovely!
The best part of the experience was the server. A bald, cheery North African man greeted and waited on us, and his happy attitude and perfect service just made this experience great.
We sat outside and enjoyed the sun, as well as the happy hour specials. We got the white sangria which I didn't love, too much OJ, but for the $4 price tag I didn't complain. For a starter we did the dip trio–yum! My favorite was the muhamara, creamy with a hint of cilantro, with the cucumber dip coming in a close second. The hummus was North African style, grainy and cumin-y; it was fine but not my fave.
For entrees, I got the couscous royal and loved it. Everything you expect it to have, over super fluffy couscous. I especially loved the lamb as it was falling-apart-tender. My boyfriend got the lamb shank though and neither of us loved it. The lamb was good but the shank didn't have too much meat on it, and the sauce was a bit too perfumey and sweet.
Overall though, the nice service, the outdoor seating, and the yummy couscous would bring me back–especially at the very reasonable price tag!
Went here for my friend's birthday. The ambiance is very cozy, also the music is just right not too loud, but just sets the mood. I got the half chicken with mashed potatoes and kale. It was good, but it wasn't amazing. I also got a fresh pomegrante and ginger ale drink. It had an interesting taste. I am probably biased because I love very tasty food. I also enjoy eating spicy food and meal prepared with a lot of spices. Nomad just didn't do it for me. Everybody else seemed to like their food.
Good for groups.
Good service.
Good food.
Great company.
It wouldn't be my go to spot, but it is good for large groups. Ample seating and friendly staff. They will surely be able to accomodate you.
Food: Ok
Service:Ok
Ambience: Good
Decided to meet some friends here because most of the meat they use is Halal and a couple of my friends only eat Halal meat.
Overall the experience left me underwhelmed.
The food was OK nothing special, the service when we got it was really good but it was so intermittent that I can not call it good. It took the food 45 minutes or so to come out.
If I had to come here I will probably give them another try but this will not be my first choice.
I want to go back soon. All dishes we ordered last time were super delicious – cheese, lamb tacos, chicken pastilla and a meat mixed stew with couscous… The decorations in the backroom is very colorful and chic. It's definitely a very nice atmosphere to eat with a group of cheerful friends. Don't go with quiet people – it's bit noisy there.
Come for HH outside on the patio . Service left something to be desired we waited a long time for refills , and the check. Standouts on the HH menu were the artichoke pizza and the trio of dips. I'd skip the mussels they were pretty tough and many of the shells were closed . The broth was nice but I wouldn't order them again at least not at the full price .
As others have stated nice decor inside and I could see how this would be a great venue for a large group .
I don't live super close to second Ave but I wouldn't rush back if i did
Have come back a number of times now, so I thought an update was worthwhile. The food still stands as a good point of entry into the North African food scene – it's tasty, pretty traditional but still manages to cater to the American palate as appropriate/necessary. Staff are always friendly. Having spent time in Northern Africa, I really appreciate the food and culture they're trying to bring into the east village. I would almost argue that they should take the level of authenticity a step further, but that's just me and having been to Northern Africa I would be comfortable with it, but I recognize everyone else might not be, so the choice is theirs!
