✨ Five Stars! ✨

We had a wonderful experience at Nomads! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff made us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious—authentic Mongolian flavors, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. We loved the khuushuur and lamb dishes, and the milk tea brought back so many memories. Highly recommend Nomads if you want a taste of Mongolia in Chicago!

Food is decent. Definitely unique for the area being one of the few authentic Mongolian restaurants around and the place is well decorated and clean enough. Actually has the potential for a great experience but the service is lacking. Waitress was a bit rude and not very attentive at all. Came in by myself and was polite didn’t ask a lot just ordered like normal and not once did she offer to explain a bit about the menu or check up when I ate and I was the only one in the building....

Nice ma and past atmosphere. Food was outstanding. I had a beef soup and my better half had bim bop.
Service was lacking though. Server was not too friendly. No smiles. No checking on us to make sure we were good. Would come back for the food but staff should get some people training.
