Mountain Brook Nothing but Noodles Franchise Owner Arnold Soni.

The name says it all at Nothing but Noodles. No matter what pasta dish its customers are craving, this restaurant has the dishes to satisfy.

The fast-casual restaurant is consistently creating new recipes and perfecting the classics to bring the widest variety of pasta meals to its guests, according to franchise owner Arnold Soni.

Every six months, Nothing but Noodles adds a new dish to the menu, he said. Since additions come to the menu at least twice a year, a customer’s favorite menu item can change frequently.

Currently, the Spicy Cajun Pasta is eatery’s most popular dish. The dish tosses penne pasta with rustic tomato cream sauce, scallions, fresh yellow onions and red bell peppers.

On the menu, each pasta dish is separated into categories of Italian, Asian, American or Specialties. Each meal has the option of adding beef, chicken, meatballs, shrimp or any of the 10 vegetables the restaurant offers.

The smell of fresh sauces fills the restaurant as meals are made from scratch in the kitchen.

Before any additions, every dish with noodles is vegetarian. Nothing but Noodles also offers salads, soups and breadsticks that can be added to any meal.

Soni said his staff prides itself on how quickly guests will receive their food.

“During our busiest hours, typically lunch time, our kitchen is constantly moving,” he said. “On an average day, a guest will order his or her food, get a drink and have a meal ready within five minutes of sitting down.”

Nothing but Noodles also caters parties and events. The restaurant is an active fundraiser with The Institute of Sustainability and is involved with a number of community events to provide food for the Birmingham area, Soni said.

Nothing but Noodles is a franchise with locations in nine states across the country. The Cahaba Village location has been serving guests since May 2010.
