Nicholas Restaurant Lebanese and Mediterranean Cuisine

I was my first time at that location. Very cozy atmosphere and amazing hospitality from employees. Busy around lunch but everyone receives the best attention and service. Our group of 6 were very pleased. Food is very authentic, fresh and delicious

Intimate setting, great food

I’ve been coming to Nicholas for years, but unfortunately, things have gone downhill. I’m not sure if there are new owners, but the quality has really slipped. My drink had a strange taste, like bleach, dishwater, or chlorine—I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. The chicken I ordered was tough, dry, and tasted like it was poor quality.

While eating, I started feeling nauseous and had to send both my food and drinks back. To make matters worse, I vomited just five minutes after leaving the restaurant. Needless to say, I won’t be returning to Nicholas.

This place used to be great, but something is definitely going wrong behind the scenes. It honestly felt like something you’d see on an episode of Gordon Ramsay’s *Kitchen Nightmares*.

Food looks great. Tastes horrible. I'd rate it a zero if I could.

Recommended dishes: Hummus

The Arabian Breeze Mezza provided a mix of foods and was big enough to share. I prefer the plain hummus over the roasted red pepper walnut muhamara, but both were good. The falafel was crispy on the outside. The majadra (brown lentil jasmine rice topped with caramelized onions) was simple, but satisfying. The mezza also included fried cauliflower and caramelized onions mixed with tahini.

Wonderful food.

Very enjoyable time. Service was top notch. Food came as ordered. And it was served at the appropriate temperature. If you are thinking of going do yourself a favor and go.

Update: this place is consistently good. Brought an out of town friend here because he specifically wanted Mediterranean food. Said it was some of the best he's ever had. Stamp of approval!

We had this place recommended to us three times since moving here so we decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did because it was phenomenal! I got the meat mezza. The beef skewer was flavorful and juicy. The hummus was smooth and delicious. As was everything else on the plate! The falafels, the tzatziki, the tabouli! Fresh made pita was also amazing. My husband got the manakish pizza. It was really good and it was a big pizza for the price. The service was great. The place was clean and super cozy. The only thing I didn't care for was the baclava. It had a good flavor it was just very chewy. But still five stars from me! Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We live close by and will definitely be stopping in more. Looking forward to trying more of the menu
