Reviews for Nicholas Restaurant Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine in Portland, OR

Decent Mediterranean food that has vegetarian options. They have some classics cocktails as well. Each table starts with a... large plate of pita fresh out of the oven. We got several dips as well as the beef stuffed grape leaves. I recommend going withthe tzatziki sauce, delicious. Read more

Visiting Oregon for the first time, my niece and I saw this place and stopped for a lite bite. The restaurant it was clean and... nice. We were seated and freshly baked warm bread was brought to our table. We ordered Hummus, which was so flavorful. Falafelballs and Cauliflower plate. Even though we didn?t order an actual meal, this was enough for two people for a lite bite. When intown, make sure you come and visit?. You won?t be disappointed! Read more

Truly delicious food!! And extremely generous portions. Sometimes when I visit nicer middle eastern restaurants I leave... disappointed but that was not the case here. Their mint lime lemonade was especially refreshing. Visiting Portland has beensuch a great culinary experience and Nicholas? was another delicious part of it :)) Read more

Very good food. We were absolutely full and very very satisfied with the food. We had a lot of food but also honest, healthy and... genuine food as you cook it at home. ... And so full of many fresh flavors. It was was exactly what we needed. We had a pepperhummus with walnuts, cauliflower with a fresh herbs loaded tahini sauce and two kebob skewers, one with salmon and one withbeef. The amazing fresh bread, directly from the oven comes is complementary - totally yummy. As a dessert, we had a baklavawhich I liked as it was full of flavors but not too sweet - and lots of pistachio on top. And for the leftovers we got a bigplastic container. Our waitress was super friendly and very helpful. Read more

Fantastic food! When the food is this good you cannot really see any flaw! I mean look at the pic, it speaks for itself and... tells you how awesome the food is! They serve you a large fresh pita with olive oil and zaatar on the house! It is super superdelicious and the best part of the meal no doubt! They also serve you salad which is again on the house! Loved this place?sgenerosity. We ordered to kabob plates one with chicken breast and one with lamb! Both were cooked perfectly but the lamb was alittle bit over seasoned! Looking back the waiter could have been more friendly and helpful! Read more

Great middle eastern cuisine in a nicely appointed place. You always get a large pita for the table. We had the vegetarian... mezza, meat stuffed grape leafs and a lamb kabob. Everything was delicious. Read more

The new and improved location is great. More spacious and brighter as well. Last night's visit was my first visit since they... moved from the SE Grand Ave location. Back then, my favorite dish was Stephen's Chicken... it seems they've renamed it to"Nicholas Chicken Plate"(photo), it is still a delicious ever. It will continue on as my favorite dish there. I would've given 5stars except, I was disappointed with the pita or, is it naan? Anyway, the starter bread was always the highlight/ draw to myvisits in years' past because it was amazing, it wasn't last night. It was too thick and very quick-filling. To me, it did nottaste nor feel the same. Read more

Once we got a table the server got us a big hot pita with some oil and Zatar spice. The bread was amazingly soft and fluffy.... Even after getting cold it was still tasting good. For drinks we ordered a mint lime lemonade. The drink was fresh and perfectafter every bite. For entrees we got vegan kabobs and mezze platter. Both of them were good with enough portion. The only thingis that this place is a little expensive in comparison to other places in the same genre. Read more
