The service was great!!! Very simple yet flavorful food! We only had the maze combo, lentil soup, pide, and the falafel plate but they were so flavorful and just right. It's a very casual place you can have a quick bite or a full meal. read more

I Always have such a pleasant experience visiting here. I love coming here for brunch. Start with their amazing mezze platter. Comes with a range of different dips and salad. So many unique flavors and ingredients! Comes with a bread basket. The lahmacun was another favorite, comes with a side of salad. We also tried a few of the pides. All dishes are easily shareable, we had it all family style. The waiters and owner are always so welcoming. Don't forgot to order a cup of tea to complement your delicious meal! read more

I had the Nomadic Pide which was very good. The mezze sampler was great and it came out very fast.

Literally the best Turkish food in the entire bay. Can not go wrong with this place. Perfect beef and chicken kabobs with salad and rice. . .. .. read more

Quick lunch during the week, food was good but hoping for better given the reviews. I would still default to Mazra down the street for similar food but everything here was good enough to warrant trying! read more

Nomadic Kitchen is new in Redwood City and features vibrant Turkish cuisine served by an exuberant owner. We started with the Mezze Combination plate, which came with a selection of homemade appetizers including hummus, tzatziki, piyaz (white beans), baba ghanoush, red cabbage salad, chickpea salad, tabbouleh, muhammara, and cucumber salad. Every component was vibrant and flavor and went nicely with the basket of airy, crispy, sesame-studded Turkish bread on the side. We also got the Chicken Kebab plate, made of marinated grilled chicken breast chunks, served with salad, rice, and bulgur. Everything was delicious and nicely spiced, but the highlight was the friendly service and hospitality! read more

Amazing food and service! Husband & I had a wonderful meal! We shared the (4 choices) appetizer: cucumber salad, Baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves, & the homemade hummus was a great start to what was to come! I especially fell in love with their hummus! It was by far the best I've ever eaten! We'll be back! read more

Let me just start by saying this is the best Turkish food I've ever had. I tried the Lamachun recommended by my waiter. The Hummus was great. The chef presented a beautiful Mezze Combination plate. WOW! I've been to Europe and tried Turkish restaurants that do not come close to Nomadic. The service was excellent, my waiter was up and down, checking and making sure everything was great. Will definitely stop by again when I get the chance. read more

Amazing food! This was our second time here and we loved it again. It's really hard to find good Turkish food abroad, but this place is perfect. The first time, we had lahmacun, mix kebab plate, and Samsun Bafra pide -- all were delicious. The second time, we got lahmacun again, beef kebab, and lentil soup. Everything was super tasty. We were so excited to eat, we didn't even take a picture! The staff and owners are very friendly and welcoming! We really appreciate this place and will come back for sure. read more

The food was amazing. I got the Kofte Kebab plate and the nomadic Pide bread. The meat was seasoned so well, and the sides were so flavorful. They included a refreshing salad with vinaigrette which was a nice palette cleanser. The bread was crispy, and the toasted sesame was so tasty! Would recommend! read more

This is a casual restaurant with fair prices. The owner, Hasan, was very friendly, excited, helpful and knowledgeable about Turkish cuisine if you need help deciding what to order. The Mezze Combination Medium (your pick) was delicious! My husband loved the Lahmacun and I loved the Hummus and Falafel. They serve Efes, Turkish beer, if you would like to try or reminisce about your travels to Turkey! read more

Great food and very friendly staff! So glad we stopped in to try this new place. I'll be back for more.

Stopped by this morning for a small bite and had a delicious 'Nomadic Pide' while sitting in their comfortable outdoor space, under the shade. The portion size was perfect for two to share. Great flavors and perfect dough - thin, light & crispy. Looking forward to coming back for more food! Thanks for the great service and kick-start to a gorgeous morning. read more

Incredible. Get the mezze platter with everything and thank me later. Truly some of the best subtle tastes I've had. Pide was also delicious and the lamb kebab was so tender and tasty. So so glad we stopped in here. If I lived in this area this would become a constant haunt of mine. Lovely outdoor seating and great ambiance inside as well. read more

This is for a takeout dinner. We had a delicious Mezze sampler of very interesting and less-usual items. And 2 different pides, both very good. Both on the phone when ordering, and in person, the staff was very welcoming and helpful. The decor was fresh and attractive. I think we'll be back. read more

As a frequent eater :) of Mediterranean and especially Turkish food, this is one of the best experiences I've every had. The three factors, authenticity, quality, and taste was accentuated by the eye-filling portions and purity of the food. The service is very friendly and completes the circle. read more

DELICIOUS! we had the pide (pizza), lamb kofte, and baby ganoush and everything was so fresh and delish. High recommend. We can't wait to come back and try other items on the menu. The service is so friendly too. They played with our 2 year old son and made us all laugh :) Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch. read more

If you've ever been to Turkiye, you know their hospitality is legendary. And their cuisine is a source of national pride. Nomadic Kitchen is straight out of Istanbul. Think of flavors like toasted sesame, pomegranate, smoky red peppers, grilled meats. Even things you recognize like hummus and baba ghanoush hit differently. Turkish red wine is rich and fruity, and strong tea is served in traditional glasses. Not only is the food delicious, but the owners treat you like family. My husband and I went for a Friday evening out, early enough to still find a table for two. What surprised me was the number of patrons coming in with reservations! There were at least three different parties of 5-6 in the time it took to eat our meal. Lesson learned: if you want to eat here Friday through Sunday night, get a reservation. In winter, the outdoor seating area appears to be closed. The inside of the restaurant is a little spartan, but don't let that deter you. It's a young restaurant in a small space. Let's show them some RWC love so that they can upgrade to a bigger venue!! Last thing-- the olives have pits!! Be sure to check before you chomp. read more

The mezze and pide are top notch. Just a few basic ingredients done really well. It's been a few years since I've been to the Middle East and I'd forgotten how good the food can be, and this was a reminder. Storefront diner ambiance on a busy street in Redwood City or it would be a destination restaurant. read more

I read good reviews about this place and tried it today for the first time . Very disappointed, dirty glasses and silverware and run down place that smells like cleaning supplies . However the food was very good ! It is made by the owner and tastes very good ! read more

Delicious! The food is authentic Turkish cuisine. We ordered an appetizer sampler, kofte, and kunefe. In addition, the service is on point. The waiters are attentive, energetic, and kind. It's a welcoming place. I'm definitely coming back. read more

Great food, terrific location, and service that went way beyond expectations. Imagine having a wonderful Turkish meal, only to remember ten minutes later you dumbly left your backpack behind. Rushing back to the restaurant, you're told the owner himself chased after us to return it and he's headed back with it. Now that's what I call a real "FINE" dining experience! We'll surely pay Nomadic Kitchen regular visits from now on. read more

This is rapidly becoming my staple in downtown Redwood City. Mazra is great but this...you can't beat their Mezze and you cannot beat their Pides (flatbreads). It's magic. The prices are so sensible, the owner is friendly, warm and welcoming, and the food is faultless. I've honestly been gatekeeping this place a bit but they deserves throngs of people to go eat their go read more

Yum! Just incredibly YUM! Ordered babaganoush and nomadic pide. Realized we didn't even take a photo because we absolutely demolished it the second it landed on the table. Service is great! The owner is so kind and informative. Staff are very attentive. Great spot! Will definitely be coming back as our go to spot! read more

We had a really great lunch here. The mezes were varied and everything was very fresh. We also had lahmacun, lamb kebab and pide, all of which were cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. The ayran and mint lemonade were house-made and very refreshing. Service was fantastic and friendly. The interior of the restaurant is attractive and clean. We chose to eat outdoors because it was a beautiful day -- the patio is very comfortable, with umbrellas if it gets too sunny. You can trust the reviews -- this is a great find. read more

Thank you, Yelpers, for guiding us here. Excellent food and such genuine and helpful service and friendly ambiance. We were not familiar with Turkish cuisine and asked for advice. Got the 4 mezzes starter. The standout of all four good choices was the Baba Ganoush which was amazing. An assertive but just right smokiness. The bread that came with it was flavorful. Mains of kofte kebab and the lamacun were delicious. Portions very generous so we took some home. That gave us a little room to get the Kunefe. You have to get the kunefe for dessert! Complex flavor, warm, nice crunch, lovely sweet and mild salty combined. Had to take time this morning to +1 on the thumbs up reviews for this place read more

I have a confession to make. We were gonna try this place a few weeks ago - but when we got there it was real empty so we decided to go somewhere else. Don't make the same mistake! Came back again tonight and the food was all fantastic!! The portions are generous. The nomadic pide was delicious. And everything on our mezze was excellent as well (including the bread!). I had a drink called ayran which is like a Turkish lassi. If you're looking for Mediterranean food - forget about the other places in the area. Nomadic Kitchen is the best of the bunch! read more

Last minute decision to have dinner here with the family (husband and toddler) and very glad we did. Toddler has multiple food allergies which can make eating out different. The fresh bread was made without sesame seeds due to allergy. Husband says he isn't a fan of mediterranean food yet enjoyed the mezzo and entrees. read more

The food is AMAZING!!! The service was excellent - and the patio was delightful! Cannot wait to go back and try more entrees soon!!

Wow. What a find. Amazing food, friendly unrushed service and a good price. Highly recommend trying out this gem

Words can not describe the excellence of the food and service here. We stumbled upon this gem after a quick yelp review. We ordered a cucumber salad, Nomadic Pide, Lamb Kebab and a Chicken kebab. After eating the salad and enjoying the flavors I was truly excited for the food that would follow, and they did not disappoint. Each dish was full of flavor and paired perfectly with it sides. We had the pleasure of talking to the staff and the owner Hasan who were so delightful, lucky for us we had a very early dinner so they had time to talk to us as the restaurantwas not too busy. He even whipped up a delicious artichoke mezze for us to taste as we wrapped up our meal, you can clearly see this is a man that loves creating meals that can be enjoyed by the likes of us. They offered such wonderful hospitality and the way they talked about the food preparation and the restaurant you can tell alot of love and care goes into the way the menu is curated. We have to travel over an hour to get here but we are already planning on going back. And looking forward to trying more items on the menu!! read more

My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch at this newly opened Turkish restaurant. Everything we ordered was freshly made and delicious! We started with assorted Meze spreads and warm bread that was baked right before it was served. I normally don't eat that much bread but it was hard to resist as the texture was light and bouncy with a nice crunchy crust. All the spreads were equally flavorful and I loved that they weren't too salty which allowed the flavors of the ingredients to shine through. Our server Metin was fabulous and recommended that we try the beef kebab and it was delicious! We also tried the chicken kebab and ended our meal with turkish coffee and kunefe- made from a panfried shredded dough and cheese. The service here was amazing- Metin really took care of us and we met the owner-chef Hasan who took the time to share what ingredients were used to make his dishes. This brought a bigger awareness into the health benefits of some of these dishes (especially the Tarhana soup made with fermented vegetables and yogurt!) We will definitely be back to try more dishes. We left this restaurant with high spirits and full tummies :) read more
