Nicholas Restaurant, nestled in Portland, OR, has been the pride of the same family since its inception in 1987. Drawing inspiration from Lebanese roots, the Nicholas family has earned the esteemed title of "Portland’s first family of Lebanese cuisine" by Portland Monthly. The restaurant's rich history traces back to the late 1980s when Nicholas Dibe ventured from Lebanon to Portland, Oregon, endeavoring to introduce the city to Middle Eastern flavors.

Boasting two locations in SE Madison and Gresham, Nicholas Restaurant offers a delectable Mediterranean menu that has captivated patrons for over three decades. The authenticity of their dishes and the warm ambiance have made it a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether it's a casual lunch or a special event, Nicholas Restaurant promises an unforgettable culinary experience.
