We don’t know how we got here… 😭🤣💀

Freshly sliced gyro, crisp veggies, creamy feta, and house-made tzatziki all rolled into one perfect bite. 🌯

The only problem? Finishing it before stealing someone else’s fries. 👀

The battery can wait.

I’m getting falafel first. 🧆

She said her husband thinks takeout is getting too expensive.

We offered a few alternatives. 😏😂

No husbands were harmed in the making of this recommendation.

We may be biased, but this one is really good. 😏

Our Sumac Sour combines bourbon, fresh lemon, honey, and house-made sumac syrup for a tangy twist inspired by one of our favorite Lebanese ingredients.

Available during Portland Highball Week (May 25–31) for $10.

Portland weather really said “actually… one more winter day” 🌧️❄️

Luckily, Knafeh exists.

Warm, crispy shredded phyllo dough layered with creamy ashta, melted mozzarella cheese, pistachios, and sweet syrup… basically the comfort food version of a hug ✨

Cold days are better at Nicholas.

Crispy on the outside. Packed with flavor on the inside. 🤎

Meet our Kibbeh Balls… made with seasoned ground lamb, bulgur wheat, onions, potatoes, and authentic Lebanese spices, then fried to golden perfection. Served with creamy yogurt sauce and fresh lemon for the perfect bite.

A little crunchy. A little savory. A lot addictive.

Sunshine, fresh air, and a table full of Lebanese favorites ☀️

There’s nothing better than patio season at Nicholas… grilled kebabs, mezze, crispy fries, refreshing cocktails, and good company in the heart of Portland.

Come slow down, share a meal, and enjoy the beautiful weather with us 🤍
