Normas Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Restaurant

Norma’s is amazing. Just let them know the food is for a celiac. They have a separate frier and will handle the food all separately. They know exactly what to do and willing to work with you and your allergies. The team at Norma’s is very understanding and all well trained. Cannot say enough about how accommodating they are. We have gotten take out from here several times and even catering! Don’t miss it, the food is amazing.

Amazing GF choices! And very flavorful! I have eaten here 3x now, and have never gotten sick afterwards. Wait staff is always knowledgeable too. It’s a hidden gem in a shopping center with a unique grocery store next door.

Love this place! Happened to stumble across it while in Cherry Hill. I didn’t notice the restaurant and ordered our food at the register in the little grocery shop. The gentleman there was extremely knowledgeable about my Gluten Free needs as a person with Celiac. He specifically asked me if I was gluten sensitive, because then they would take extra precautions to avoid cross-contamination. My daughter and I shared the hummus supreme, stuffed grape leaves, falafel and garlic fries. They were all DELICIOUS - authentic Middle Eastern flavor. (I’m Egyptian) The fries were especially satisfying because I don’t usually get to eat french fries. They have a dedicated fryer. My daughter (not GF) had the Gyro and she said it was delicious. He was extremely helpful - told me that the next time I go there to call ahead so they can start heating up the dedicated GF fryer so I wouldn’t have to wait at all. Will definitely go back there the next time I’m in Cherry Hill!

Very good food ! A delicious and safe surprise find while traveling in the area. Server was very careful and reassuring. Menu is clearly marked as to what is gluten free or not. Is BYOB for anyone interested.

Waitress was confused about who was gluten free and I had a bad feeling. Got falafel and pretty sure I was glutened- very sick.

Update: They’ve added the most flavorful rice pudding to their menu. A must-eat, and a welcome addition to the gluten-free world.

We’ve passed this place for years and had no idea that not only was there high quality, reasonably priced Mediterranean food in the area, but that half the menu is gluten free and the owner has a celiac family member and is thus celiac aware. Cannot stress how delicious the stewed lamb in honey and almonds tastes. Dolmades come out fresh and hot. An absolute must for GF diners.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Local, family owned restaurant. Food is delicious. They easily accommodate and help you to find gluten free substitutes and sides

Slow service but good food. They can make falafel in a pan so it’s gluten free. I love the lamb kabob.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What a wonderful GF find! When I called to check it out one of the owners said his sister has celiac, so they get it. They prepped a totally separate fryer just for my daughter's fries that went with the grilled chicken. Their menu is clearly labeled with "GF" items, including the delicious lamb kabobs that ordered.

Celiac friendly?

Yes
