Description

The brik alone makes this new North African worth a visit, a half-moon turnover fashioned from flaky warka pastry, filled with tuna, capers, parsley, and an egg that gets cooked as the brik fries. Among entrees, the prune and lamb-shank tajine rules. Note that neither it nor the less desirable chicken, lemon, and olive tajine is served in the traditional conical vessels. The couscouses, chicken bastilla (big round warka pie), and grilled merguez sausages are desirable entrees. The two Algerian reds on the wine list are good deals, drinking better than lots of French stuff from the other side of the pond.

  • 2007 | Hannibal Lecter's Last Meal

    The fictional mass murderer once famously said, "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." Well, we might not know where to find him a human liver, but we sure know where to find the fava beans and the Chianti: at the North African bistro Nomad, where he can feast on the Egyptian street-food staple called foule (and pronounced "fool"), washed down with a very nice Chianti.

  • 2006 | Best use of prunes

    The wonderful Tunisian pastry called brik-- stuffed with tuna, capers, and a semi-cooked egg--is hard to come by in these parts, but an estimable rendition is found at Nomad. The same flaky warka pastry goes into the Moroccan pie bastilla, which arrives prettily brocaded with cinnamon and powdered sugar, even though it's not a dessert. Sugar fiends take note. There are lemony Moroccan salads too, and main-course tajines, of which the best features an entire lamb shank caramelized... More »
