Nora’s Palace is a Middle Eastern and Mediterranean restaurant at 8–10 Amelia Street in central Belfast. Its menu is designed for both individual meals and generous shared spreads, making the restaurant suitable for a quick lunch, an evening dinner or a larger gathering around the table.
Cold mezze such as hummus and baba ganoush introduce the kitchen through chickpeas, tahini, aubergine and fresh herbs. Hot starters, salads and flatbreads add contrasting textures, and ordering several small plates is an easy way to explore the restaurant’s broad range of flavours.
Shawarma, charcoal grilled meats and mixed grill combinations form the heart of the main selection. Mandi dishes pair slow cooked meat with fragrant rice, while chicken, lamb and vegetable choices allow diners to build anything from a focused plate to a substantial feast.
The restaurant also offers collection and delivery for diners who prefer to eat at home. Many Middle Eastern dishes can contain sesame, nuts, dairy or gluten, so guests with allergies should check the current ingredient information and speak directly with the team before ordering.
Address: 8–10 Amelia Street, Belfast BT2 7GS, Northern Ireland
