Restaurant review:
Family owned restaurant makes good in downtown Gresham
The Advocate
Nicholas Restaurant, a family owned and operated eatery in downtown Gresham, is romantic, scenic, and quaint enough for a candle lit dinner or a friendly lunch.
Lebanese food, gyros and vegan food is served at this restaurant that's been open since March. If falafel is a favorite of yours, go there and have it covered with tzatziki as an appetizer.

The food is decorated and presented in a manner that doesn't deceive you. The food is just as delicious as it looks. What you see is what you get.
A great way to try this authentic type of food for the first time is to just go there and try it. There's nothing to lose, but everything to gain when it comes to getting your moneys' worth.
Students watching their wallet empty every day from eating out for lunch should try Lebanese cheese pizza for $5. It is 100 percent mozzarella cheese baked on dough and layered with sesame seeds, and it's really filling.
The service is great and as their sign says, "Come as guests, leave as family." It's a reflection of their service because you are treated like family: greeted with a smile from the time you enter the doorway until the moment you leave. This definitely has to do with the restaurant's atmosphere being relaxed, inviting and chill. You're not rushed to eat your food so someone else can take your table; instead you're welcomed to order more food, sit and visit.
It's clean, convenient and cultural from top to bottom. The restaurant may be small but the decoration and creativity of the inside causes people passing by to walk in and see what it has to offer.
Try Nicholas' — it's a great way to surprise your tastebuds with something out of their comfort zone.
