Right on Amelia Street in the heart of Belfast, Nora's Palace brings a burst of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean flavors to the city. The moment you step in, the aromas of grilled meats, fragrant spices, and freshly baked bread fill the space, creating an atmosphere that feels both lively and comforting. The menu is wide-ranging, with everything from shawarma wraps and falafel platters to mixed grills piled high with lamb, chicken, and tender beef. What stands out is the portion size—generous enough to share, yet balanced so the flavors never feel overwhelming. Guests often highlight the lamb kebabs, marinated to perfection, and the creamy hummus that makes the perfect starter.
During a recent visit, I noticed how smoothly the team ran service even when the restaurant was busy. The staff offered recommendations on pairing dishes, and their suggestion of trying the chicken shawarma with garlic sauce turned out to be spot-on. Reviews from other diners echo this consistency, often praising both the speed of service and the quality of ingredients. It’s worth mentioning that dishes are prepared fresh daily, which not only elevates the taste but also builds trust in the kitchen’s attention to detail. For vegetarians, the falafel wraps and stuffed vine leaves provide authentic and flavorful alternatives, showing the care taken to cater for all preferences.
The location itself makes it an easy stop for lunch or dinner, especially for those exploring Belfast city centre. With affordable pricing compared to similar spots, Nora's Palace stands out as a reliable choice for groups, families, or solo diners looking for hearty and flavorful meals. The balance of authentic cooking, warm hospitality, and a welcoming setting creates a dining experience that keeps people returning and recommending it to others.
