10/10 would recommend this place! Everything was tasty and more importantly, the strong theme of a Silk Road adventure was effortlessly presented with every single dish served with a backstory.
I asked Ehren if he preferred Chef's Table or this, (I compare every restaurant to Chef's Table since it's my favourite) and we both agreed that 1) it's unfair to compare them both since they are of entirely different styles, but 2) we would pick Chef's Table if we are just going for the food and The Nomads if we are looking for an experience.
Ps: All photos are taken using my new S20plus and are not edited. DO THEY NOT LOOK AMAZING!? Ehren was saying how the quality of my photos are so much better but hey, my S8+ took pretty good photos too...
