    The main course, risotto with beetroot sauce, was delicious. Other than its slightly childish display I have no complaints about that. However, both the "chef's welcome" and the entrée soup were both served coolish. I think such food should be served if not hot, at least warm. The entree soup contained only a few shrimp, so it could have been a bit more robust. It was not entirely clear which language to use with the waiting staff, Finnish or English. The first page menus unnecessarily required checking out the Italian terminology from further pages, as it could have been directly translated into either language that was actually used in the process. Wine recommendations were perfect and the bill was promptly split into four as we requested. I have visited Nomad once before, for lunch in the summer. Then I and a companion both had a halloumi salad, which left us hungry. For the price the salad should have been a bit more sturdy. Currently I would not recommend Nomad to my friends. I may give it a third chance.

    Service was otherwise good but we had to wait our dishes terribly long time. But food was very tasty.

    This was my second visit to Nomad. As in the first time the food was very good and tasty again (we had starters, mains and deserts for seven persons this time). What to say? We enjoyed all dishes, were full and happy. Recommend gladly to anyone. Price level... on same level as in the neighborhood in general.

    Food was very good and tasty. One precourse wasn't the one which was ordered. We asked for the check and the waitor forgot about it so we had to ask again. At times it took quite a long time to get the food to table. It was a bit too noisy at the restaurant. I hope that there would be something on the walls or floor to muffle down the noise. Waitors seemed to be in a hurry so it affected the atmosphere.

    Food was great but service was below standard. It was slow and the waitress didn't know her menu nor the wine list.

    I was really waiting for our time and dinner in Nomad. Unfortunately it was a disappointment. First our booking was missing, we have to wait five minutes. I couldn't understand why on earth the waitress doesn't tell us that besides the booking, it was the best time to visit - please come back some other time. It takes something 50 minutes to get the first plate. The same continues during whole dinner and in the end the waitress forget our bill. The food was all right, no doubt, but we didn't feel to be welcome. We are not all the rich ones, dinner in the nice restaurant is a big day for many of us. I got the feeling that the waitress understand that everything doesn't go as it should go, but still she didn't do a thing to change it.

    Service was ok, personel seemed to be bit lost. Pasta ingredients was chopped small bits so it lost totally its natural taste.

    Nice relaxed atmosphere and delicious food! We had the five course menu and I really recommend it to get a sense of the concept of the restaurant, which is Italian with an African twist. Each dish was beautifully presented and the service was friendly.

    Service, starter (brezaola) and wine were very good but I was disappointed with the pasta (fresh tuna, prawns and scampi). The portion was based on minced seafood which was not very appetizing.

    Nomad FOOD&WINEResponded on August 27, 2019

    Usually, we prefer to not respond to review because it just difficult to follow all of them from all social media...The dish you are talking about, in our menu says: Home made Spaghetti served with tuna ragù, "Thieboudieune"crayfish bisque sauce and grated smoked scallops. We never mentioned prawns in the dish, the crayfish is a bisque sauce and in Italian when we talk about Ragù, it always means that the main product is minced (it can be vegetable, fish or meat). Best regards

    The staff seemed to be very lost. They forgot parts of our portions (forgot to bring the squid to our starter, we got it after we asked 2 times if they are sure that there are no squids, since the menu said there would be). We didn´t get spoons for our soups until we asked for them. They didn´t know what Calvados is. But they did stay friendly, and the food tasted good!

    I was expecting more, both on terms of service and especially from the food. Seafood cooked from the freezer or jar and overcooked pasta was not what I expected from a restaurant that claims to be of some standard.
