Editorial Review for Nicholas' Restaurant – by Citysearch Staff

In Short
This favored Middle Eastern joint chooses consistency and flavor over atmosphere but keeps prices low enough to keep the locals coming back. Even the simplest vegetarian dish--veggie kabob with rice--packs a wallop of flavor. Falafel is nicely spiced and made with the right balance of sftness and crunch. For a heartier meal, order the chicken or beef kabobs, roasted on skewers and served with hot bread and a simple Lebanese salad.

I love their menu but I wish it wasn't such a small place. Everything on the menu is above average. What a tate treat.

Pros: Taste

Cons: Small place

I absolutely love the food at Nicholas. I have never been disappointed by any dish I have tried there, although I rarely get past the Mezza in the menu. They have raised their prices from when I first started going there, but are still reasonably priced. <br> The only drawback of Nicholas is the building they are in. The building is old and could use some serious updates. It is also very small and the tables are really close together. <br> If your looking for good food and don't mind getting up close and personal with the people at tables on either side of you then I would definitely recommend it. I typically don't mind and consider it one of my favorite restaurants in Portland. Just be sure to get there early or you'll be waiting outside.
