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....

If you love Mediterranean food, Noma's is for you! The food was excellent, authentic and reasonably priced! The staff were very friendly and always kept our drinks filled. Definitely a place we try to visit every trip to Columbia!

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!
