Delicious, solid Mediterranean food in an unassuming location. Really pleasantly surprised! Even dishes I'm usually not terribly fond of- falafel (often bland and sandy textured) and dolmas (usually too mushy)- are well executed and flavorful. Secret star here though is the baba ghanoush- omg, there's a deep, complex smokiness that is so addictive! Gyro pizza is a fun and delicious twist that's worth getting.
Staff is friendly and warm, and service is quick. Absolutely a star in the local scene.

The chef puts his heart into the most authentic and delicious Mediterranean dishes! The hummus is the best ever . So incredibly smooth and creamy served with hot fresh pita (also good on the fresh cut fries). The lamb gyro is wonderful! Everyone loved their order from pizza, AL Amir bowl to gyros. Can't wait to go back!

So I'm giving this 5 stars despite today's meal. I've had numerous meals here and everything was excellent but the lamb gyro i had today was just ok. Nothing was bad, but just bland. That being said, I'd still recommend eating here.

Favorite lamb shawarma in the region. Even better since they moved to North Main.

Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals and the prices were great! The pizza was good, the Philly cheesesteak was great, as well as the gyro platter with roasted veggies and spicy feta. If we go back to Columbia, we will be coming back here!

NoMa by Al Amir is a Mediterranean spot that's got the classics you'd expect in a no frills diner experience.
The simple vibe at NoMa elevates the food experience and helps further prove that the focus is on the flavor here.
I tried the Protein Power Bowl with some spicy feta added and it was out of this world. The feta had almost a buffalo flavor to it that really made it shine. The food was fresh, and the value was on point. You're not over paying for anything at this spot.
All in all in you want a no frills Mediterranean spot that you can pop into for a cozy lunch or dinner this is it!
