Fantastic choice for anyone, really. They have many veggie and vegan options as well as omnivore dishes. This place is off the chain delicious, their lemonades and teas were the perfect addition to our meals. We went on a Wednesday at about 2pm, there wasn’t a wait to be seated and were served quite promptly. There is plenty of assigned parking just outside the front door, as well as paid and street parking. Fantastic meal! We will be back!
This is the best Lebanese restaurant I have ever tried! The tomato pesto sauce is so awesome!!! Meat are very fresh and flavorful, unlike other middle eastern restaurants, meat is not too salty.
I live in Seattle and tried multiple famous middle eastern restaurants in Seattle. I have to say that Nicholas is way better than all of Seattle Lebanese restaurants. 🫶🫶🫶
I enjoyed lunch with friends at Nicholas.
Lamb-anything is always my go to. I had the lamb kabob bowl. It was tasty and the perfect lunch size.
The mint ice tea was a nice refresher on a warm afternoon.
Lunch service is quite busy. Expect to wait for a table. It's worth it.
This pita bread is the thing of dreams. Fluffy and perfect. The drinks are really creative & refreshing. The baked Mac & cheese -- even if you don't like Mac & cheese, you'll like this one. Delicious dolmas as well.
Went for dinner and had the Lamb Kabob plate. The lamb was very tasty and cooked perfectly, and I don't even eat lamb. The rice was soft and flavorful. The dish also came with a house salad, but I ate it, so there is no picture to show. Enjoy!
Loved the atmosphere in here. Nice ramp into restaurant gets you right into the main dining room (I can take my elderly mother, so I will be back!). Service was great and the freshly made pita to start us off was outstanding. I am a big fan of both the presentation and taste of the Turkish coffee, as well (this drink felt special). Prices seemed more-than-reasonable for the portions. Seating was comfortable, and next time, I'll ask to sit in the beautiful booths adorned with curtains on the far side of the dining room.
First time going to this restaurant and I would go back again. The food was very good as well as the atmosphere and service. I love the big fresh pita bread. The Nicholas chicken plate was delicious.
Nicholas is absolutely fantastic. It's a true staple of Portland food culture. The food and drinks are excellent and the new location has a lovely atmosphere (although the coziness of the old location will be missed). If you haven't tried it yet you're really missing out.
Excellent. Incredibly reasonable on price. You are brought the flat bread and dipping oil. I got a sample of the dips (walnut red pepper was probably my favorite. They were all very flavorful and smooth). I had the chicken/rice bowl with chickpea/cabbage salad. The garlic sauce was super garlicky. Everything was delicious. Friendly service. Recommended by your guide-thanks Felipe. So glad I listened. Great food and terrific price. Enjoy!
I got the chicken breast skewers, which came with a delicious scoop of rice and some v garlicky and mouthwatering sauces. 10/10 They also brought us out little side salads before the meal and a massive round of hot fresh pita bread. Incredible.
