    Coconut shrimp appetizer
    Cyn L.

    We came for Dine LA dinner last night. It was $45 for select items on their menu. (They did not offer Happy Hour since they were offering Dine LA menu.) I enjoyed everything that I ordered, from the generous portion of mussels, the crispy whole branzino, and the crème brûlée. My husband also had the mussels, the lamb shank, and rice pudding. He did not care for the lamb shank. He said it was tender, but would have preferred a different sauce. He also wishes that he got the crème brûlée instead. Our server was ok, but seemed rushed. There was a lot of free 2-hour parking when we arrived for an early meal at 4:30 pm. If there were more entree offerings during Dine LA, I'd go back again. But I didn't see anything else that I'd be interested in trying. The restaurant is nice inside with spacious modern interior.

    Stopped in before a movie and happened to catch their Happy Hour. I'm vegan, so I ordered the hummus plate, guac and chips, and fries. Everything was tasty, though the portions were on the smaller side. The service was a bit unusual. It doesn't seem like you get a dedicated server --whoever walks by handles whatever you need. It made things a little confusing since the person who took our drink order never returned, and we ended up flagging down different staff members for the rest of our visit. My wine also took quite a while to arrive, even though we were seated at the bar and I noticed other drinks going out first. It may have just been an off night. The vibe is cute, and the shared parking with the cinema makes it a convenient stop before a movie.

    We love Nomad, especially during Dine LA where we get to enjoy a 3-course meal at a set price. By making it a date night, we get to experience 6 different items with flavors and ingredients from different parts of the world. My favorite today was the sea bass, it was beautifully served, raw, I was very pleasantly surprised. I almost asked for chopsticks until my wife reminded me this is a Mediterranean dish. I forked it and it was amazing, fresh and tasty, highly recommended! The short ribs is usually favorite, it came out nicely, falling off the bones, only thing was the sauce was a bit salty for me. I wish there was a side of rice or bread, ha ha. May be I will ask the polenta to be in the side in the future. My wife had the Hummus Meeze board, we loved everything on it and wish there was a bit more bread to help us finish every bit. She also had the filet mignon Loma Saltados, it was also deliciously done. For dessert, we shared crème brûlée and tiramisu. Both were yummy and gone in no time.

    Global spot that is a hidden gem. Came here for brunch with my family and we made a reservation online in advance. It's located by the movie theater and there was plenty of parking. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Our waitress was friendly and we were able to promptly place our orders. My boyfriend and I split the chimichurri steak and eggs and the French toast. My sister ordered bacon on the side for her French toast (extra cost) while my mom had the enchiladas. They're vegan friendly and my dad had the Mediterranean kebab which was vegan. We all split the mussels to start as well.

    Parking in the nearby garage but finding the entrance isn't straight forward if you haven't been here before. Nice ambiance (open architecture) and pretty prompt service but the kitchen took forever (like closer to 45 minutes) and the place isn't slammed nor even that full. Good food (tried the lamb kebab and shrimp) but pretty pricey. Was going to order desert but she brought the check so fine. They are not very interested in our custom.

    Pita

    My friend and I decided to try Nomad for dinner tonight. The restaurant is modern and decorated very well. They were serving their regular menu plus a prix fixe menu for DineLA week. I decided to try the prix fixe - Course 1 - Burrata & Pistachio Pesto, Course 2 - Filet Mignon Lomo Saltado, Course 3 - Creme Brulee. My friend had the Nomad Hummus and Grilled Loin of Lamb. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The food was flavorful and great quality. Initially, I was going to order the Balsamic Braised Short Ribs, but unfortunately, they had run out. The filet and lamb were both tender, juicy, and flavorful. The Creme Brûlée was excellent, though I would have wanted a thinner burnt sugar layer. It was still so good. Scott, the owner, came to our table to chat with us and ask us about the food and how we found them. He was friendly and grateful for our patronage. He shared how he came up with the concept of the restaurant. We really enjoyed the conversation. I definitely will return because there were so many other items on the menu that I would like to try in the future.

    Loved the spaghetti & grilled shrimp entree! My co-worker & I both ordered this, both of our shrimps were cooked PERFECTLY! I am very picky about my shrimp and hate having it over cooked. These were not, so tasty! I loved the flavor of the pasta too. My co-worker thought it was a bit too salty but I didn't think so. I do like stronger flavors. I would go back for this dish.

    TIRAMISU
    Kelly S.

    Ordered two of the tiramisu as takeout ($14 EACH) and their portion size was incredibly small. Maybe 2 x 2 x 2 inches for $14 EACH. Yikes. If the piece was generous or even just a decent size, that would be fine... but at this price point I'm astounded and very disappointed. So puny it was pathetic. Will never order from here again ... taste was mediocre too, kinda tasted like it went bad.

    We were greeted by the manager and then ignored for a good 20 mins before anyone came to check on us to see if we were ready to order. Ambiance was nice, with indoor heat lamps and a cozy feeling. We opted for the DineLA menu so I ordered the scallop crudo aguachile, crispy branzino, and the coconut rice pudding. Everything was delicious! I was the last one to get my food and they forgot to bring my rice bowl and dipping sauce. The overall experience was good. I may return in the distant future.

    Amazing place and ambiance. Especially for rainy and cold days. Wish there was more food selection. Overall great

    FILET MIGNON LOMO SALTADO

    This has become one of our favorite places and in the steady rotation. Happy hour has some great deals and the nomad fries are so good. Everything we've had here is good. We also came for dine LA, which was a great deal.

    SHRIMP PAPAYA SALAD
    Mary T.

    Met a friend for an early lunch. Free parking is available for 90 minutes albeit I don't think it's a problem unless it's super busy. The restaurant is on the backside of Rosecrans, catering to the office and businesses in that location. Nice ambiance, good service, but boring food. If the owners' aim is to showcase some international favorites I suggest they go and revisit some restaurants that feature some of their dishes. The papaya salad was bland and the papaya did not seem super fresh. The shrimp on the side was a boring presentation. The lamb shishkabob platter was a nice presentation but the lamb was not grilled. It was soft and not fatty at all but again, so tasteless. Not for me.

I truly think this is one of the best Mediterranean restaurants around. I also love the casual setup. You order at the counter and the staff brings the food to your table. No frills, just great food.

As someone living with a brain injury and who has a valid handicap placard, I rely on accessible parking. Seeing those spaces blocked was frustrating and concerning. I was on hold on another phone call at the time, so I came inside and asked to speak with a manager. I spoke with Esmeralda and let her know the handicap space was being blocked. She told me she would call the non-emergency number since I was already on the phone. She stepped away and later returned. When I asked if she had called, she indicated the phone line of their line was busy, even though it was around 10:30 a.m. and the phone was right beside her. Because I was concerned the issue wasn't being addressed, I called the non-emergency line myself and reported it. While I was still on the call, an employee went outside and moved the bikes. Accessible parking exists for people with serious medical needs and disabilities. Situations like this make it harder for those of us who depend on those spaces. After realizing the situation had not been handled honestly or with urgency, I felt uncomfortable staying. I requested a refund and left. I hope this feedback helps ensure handicap parking access is respected and protected going forward.

I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.
