Noma Bistro by Al Amir

Stepped into Noma Bistro by Al Amir on a super hot day and immediately appreciated the comfortable, casual atmosphere. The AC was just right, a welcome relief without being overly chilly. Our culinary adventure began with the BBQ Chicken Pizza, and wow, what a flavor explosion! Seriously, it was incredible. A huge shout-out to the reviewer who posted a video of a cheesy BBQ pizza, that's what sealed the deal for us, and we're so glad it did! Next up, a Falafel Sampler. The falafels were a tad on the crispy side from being fried, but the inside delivered that classic, perfect falafel taste and texture I absolutely crave. My partner, ever the connoisseur of good food hunts, went for the Chicken Gyro. I knew it was a winner when he started eating with his eyes closed, savoring every single bite. We also enjoyed their Greek Salads. Not your typical, overly complicated Greek salad, but a wonderfully simple version that still perfectly delivered the authentic Greek salad flavor we were seeking. It's safe to say this is officially our new go-to spot for pizza, and we're excited to slowly work our way through their menu to discover more fantastic finds. If you're looking for a casual spot with flavor-packed dishes that are simple yet incredibly satisfying, I highly recommend Noma Bistro by Al Amir!

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!

Ordered a Greek salad with chicken and the Mediterranean pizza. Very disappointed in the texture and taste and sight of the chicken. It looks and taste like boiled and shredded chicken. It made the salad and the pizza mushy uan eggs Not the same chicken I had before. Before it was marinated and grilled. I don’t recommend any entree with chicken!

Plenty of parking on side of building. Walked in and was greeted promptly and instructed to take a seat wherever. Drinks come in plastic disposable or styrofoam cups. So not very sustainable. We ordered and their wood fire started. Cool view. It smelled amazing! We were served the side salads first and then the entrees. The kabob is the better deal. Juicer and more flavorful. The chicken pascha was okay, not as juicy but the tzatziki sauce helps. Pita was good, rice was greasy. Server did not offer refills. Overall, pretty good, but don’t feel the need to return.

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!

AMAZING first the food is excellent! Good choice of menu for lunch. The bread was soft like super super soft fresh and delicious. The spicy feta I put on anything and everything it was amazing. Just enough kick to make it burn but not hurt. The gyro was perfect sautéed veggies, good feta, taziki was on point and the lamb was perfect. Add some of the spicy feta on the gyro and man it was a treat!!! My husband got the Philly cheesecake and it was dripping with taste!! Service was excellent they just got done with a party and the table was cleared, cleaned and ready for us in less then a minute. We sat outside great weather listening to the traffic and relaxing. Food came out fast and the waitress kept our drinks topped off. Super friendly group really enjoyed it!!!!

I have dined here before and my experience was not the best honestly. But today, I must amend what I have said in the past. The food was absolutely delicious and sourced locally. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant. Nice tunes, greenery and lights. It’s in the heart of the NOMA district. Everything was perfect. I ordered the pascha chicken, it came with saffron rice, a side of mixed veggies and a salad. The saffron rice was aromatic and was absolutely delicious and the chicken, super tender and seasoned to perfection. I did not get the summer salad but it looked yummy and was recommended to us. A must try for sure!

Got the Hummus starter with gyro meat, the power protein bowl salad, and the philly cheese steak with fries. Service was great, food came out super fast and everything tasted so good! Great portion sizes too. Will definitely go back.
