“ Nicholas Restaurant on Broadway in Portland is a true culinary treasure! The combination of high-quality food, great prices, and a cozy atmosphere makes it an unbeatable dining spot. The freshly baked pita bread is absolutely incredible-soft, warm, and the perfect companion to their velvety hummus. It's hard to stop eating once you start! For the main course, the Chicken Breast Kabobs and lamb kabobs are standout dishes. The meat is tender, perfectly seasoned, and grilled to perfection, showcasing their mastery of Mediterranean flavors. And don't miss dessert! The baklava is the perfect way to end your meal-flaky, sweet, and just the right amount of indulgence. Nicholas Restaurant offers an experience that keeps you coming back. Whether it's for the amazing food, the friendly service, or the unbeatable value, this spot is a must-visit for Mediterranean food lovers in Portland. ”
“ Had them cater our wedding. So many people said it was the best wedding food they’ve ever had (and I agree!). Highly recommend the baked feta mac and lamb kabobs! Great customer service too :) ”
“ This is so good!! First time hearing of it from my friend and enjoying the full meal deal! Giant pitas are the way to enjoy the meal. ”
“ The food was outstanding, the ambiance was beautiful, and that wasn't even the best part: the one waiter handling all the tables still managed to provide the best service I've ever had at any restaurant. He was friendly and fast. One of our party was gluten-free and they were seamlessly accommodated with separate food and sauce dishes for dipping. The many small children in our party were charmed and given little toys, we forgot a credit card and the waiter literally chased us down the street to return it. Outstanding in every way! ”
“ This is one of my favorite places to eat, and anytime I have friends in town, this is the place we go! I especially like the original location, but the other two locations are also great. ”
“ This place smell like Mediterranean food! The environment is also pretty Arabic. The food was awesome.. they were pretty full but we were seated in 10 minutes, the service was also quick. It’s a great place to enjoy true Mediterranean food and atmosphere. Their complimentary pita bread was huge and it was freshly made. ”
“ Still our favorite Lebanese restaurant in town. We’ve eaten Middle Eastern food all over the world and this place is so good. We stopped in today for our first time in at least 5 years, and it’s still great. The lamb is delicious in any dish. Hummus and bread is amazing. Kabobs are to die for! The owner came out to give our 4 year old some dough to play with, which was so fun. Another reason we love Middle Eastern culture... they love children! We will be back now that we are back in PDX! ”
“ Super nice and friendly! Everyone got us seated quickly our order was taken so fast. The service here was amazing I love the beef kabob plate!

I'm so pleased to come here they did such a great job, food was fantastic, you feel so comfortable and welcomed. Love eating here such a very relaxing and amazing place to eat. ”
