Cardamom

The food was incredible!! We just had appetizers but we're so pleased with the ones we had!! I'd highly recommend checking this place out before you go view the exhibitions on a Thursday night for Walker Free Thursdays! A great date experience or a fun friend night!We had the platter, which was so good! You could add extra pita for an additional cost and we did because we loved the dips so much! It's like a little taste of all the food options they have there. We also had the cigars which were pretty good but the platter was the winner!

I love Mediterranean food and Middle Eastern influenced cuisine.We thought the portions on the appetizer menu were going to be small even though they said they were good for sharing. Wow, were we surprised. Light appetizers turned into a full-blown meal.Everything was just delightful. The combination of plates included:HUMMUS:chickpea spread, paprika, olives, pita- all good.CUCUMBER AND HONEYDEW was a green goddess, feta, dukkah, dill, and chervil, - a pleasant surprise. MARINATED OLIVES came with labneh, Prosciutto, and Pita - so yummy. The 4 Moroccan Cigars!! tasted delightful.For my drink of choice, I had the pineapple mocktail: SOUMAKI pineapple, sumac, lime, carbonation.The most pleasant surprise was the cucumber and honeydew. It was so light and refreshing. Hands down, my favorite appetizer was the Moroccan Cigars. Just a party of flavor in mouth.The service was great and we the ambience- a delight.

Brought my cousins/significant others out to dinner at Cardamom recently, and was very impressed. Did not know what to expect, as it's in the Walker Art center & places like this can be hit or miss, but this was excellent, very fresh/bright flavors, prompt and friendly service, and not crazy expensiveA few highlights: the lamb shawarma was melt in your mouth tender, light and airy pita & lovely herb salad accompanying. Chicken skewer with muhammara was so fresh and great spice on the chicken. Paired with a Slovenian Sauv Blanc, which was new to me, and very crisp/smooth finishHighly recommend this for any Walker Art goers or any other occasion where you happen upon this area

Cardamom is a gorgeous restaurant! It was the perfect spot for brunch on a weekday. My pistachio latte was great and the Turkish eggs with potato churros (!!!), smoked salmon bagel, and French toast with pistachio and mascarpone were delicious. The kale salad and baba ghanoush (eggplant dip) were group favorites. Service was impeccable, too!

I've been to Cardamom for brunch a couple of times now and I tend to gravitate toward the same menu item: Turkish Eggs. I really love it. The kebabs always have really good flavor and the potato churros are extra tasty as well. I love dipping the flatbread into the runny yolk too. If you don't like runny yolk, it might not be for you unless they are able to make changes to how they cook the egg.I tried a Pistachio Latte and that was really delicious too! Plenty of Pistachio flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. On top of that, the restaurant is absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing and the service is always top notch. Quick and efficient.

We had a wonderful dining experience here! The ambiance is very bright with the natural light and has plenty of beautiful plants across the restaurant. They had a mix of bar, patio (weather permitting) and indoor dining seating available. We had a group of four and shared a few dishes. We ordered the Mezze platter that came with a variety of dips, spread, seasonal veggies, and pita bread. We also got the fried eggplant schnitzel & fried potatoes. Everything was very flavorful and I loved the addition of a spicy sauce. As for the drinks, we got the mercurial, Gazoz, equinox and soumaki (mocktail- was just an elevated pineapple juice). The gazoz & equinox was the table favorite! Overall, we had really great service and the food was delicious. If you're around the area or checking out the Walker make sure you check this out! You can make reservations or you can walk in. We waited which was fine because we had some time to roam around and check out the exhibits.

I enjoyed a delicious lunch at Cardamom with a friend and 3 young kids. It's definitely a more upscale experience but still worked out for our group of antsy preschoolers and a toddler. Our waiter was phenomenal and made excellent recommendations for food and drinks. I ended up with the kale salad with fried chicken and a delicious blueberry sour from their rotating beer menu. I LOVED both! The salad was light and refreshing and so flavorful. Highly recommend.The chicken tenders kids meals were yummy too and the "fries" were so unique! They were crispy on the outside but super soft, almost like a mashed potato on the inside. Parking in the underground garage is $7. We didn't have any wait at like 11:45am on the free first Saturday event at the museum.

The cauliflower burrata was flavorful! Although carbonated cocktails aren't my thing, I enjoyed the visual of both Gazoz and Samos, very special, gotta to give it a try. Service was non-intrusive, which I really appreciated. Overall a great place to enjoy a decent dinner along with museum visit.

I love that Cardamom is located adjacent to the Walker Art Museum. It is the perfect treat after walking around at the museum. I was there on a Thursday and there was plenty of open seating around 7:00 pm. Service was on top of helping us with whatever we needed. Cardamom is an Aegean & Mediterranean restaurant and is styled to match! The Hummus is amazing and big enough to easily be its own meal. There was so much hummus that extra pitas were needed to finish it and every bite was enjoyed! The hummus comes with marinated olives and pickled eggplant. These were easily some of the best marinated olives and pickled eggplant I have had. My cocktail of choice was the Gazoz and it allowed the drinker to add any alcohol that they prefer. I chose Gin and enjoyed it but I think it would be great with vodka. This drink came dressed up with fruit, herbs, and flowers adorning it.

This was the cutest modern restaurant, that I didn't even know was here. It's attached to the walk, art museum with beautiful architecture and windows. There appears to be a patio area as well, but it was too cold for that. I came on a late Sunday afternoon with a friend, this place does seem good for groups also. The hostess was very kind and willing to offer recommendations. The menu, I wonder if it changes because it was a little smaller but definitely plenty of options to get you out of your comfort zone. I got a decaf latte which came out at the perfect sipping temperature. I ordered a dish with mushrooms that was sort of like a pizza. It was very different looking but tasted fine. I would 100% recommend the potatoes. Price is about what I would expect for this type of restaurant. On the time of day parking may be scarce on the street, but there is a paid lot about a half a block down the street
