Nicholas Restaurant Review: One of Portland’s original Lebanese restaurants offers a lengthy menu that includes all the Middle Eastern standards: tabbouleh, stuffed grape leaves, hummus, kebabs and more. Meze platters in meat, vegetarian or vegan versions allow diners to try several dishes at once; kibbeh, the traditional Lebanese specialty of bulgur dough filled with lamb and pine nuts, is also available. Piping hot pita bread is much better in the restaurant than with a take-out meal, but Nicholas indeed does a booming to-go business. Perhaps that’s because the strongest in-house drink is mint tea. If you eat in, try the layered custard for dessert. This family-run spot has tight seating, but friendly and efficient servers make up for any discomfort. Also located in NE Portland and Gresham. |
