Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Middle Eastern

    Nicholas Dibe opened Portland's first Middle Eastern restaurant with his family in 1987. Now run across two locations on NE Broadway and SE Madison, it is known for a famously oversized pita made fresh in front of guests and a smooth, well regarded hummus that regulars build a meal around.

    Picks from Portland Monthly and Willamette Week

  • Gyros

    Nicholas is a longtime Lebanese-Mediterranean institution profiled as Portland's first family of Lebanese cuisine, and it carries a classic lamb gyro alongside its mezze and hummus plates. Willamette Week reviewed it directly and readers named it their favorite Mediterranean restaurant, making it a durable, well-sourced anchor for the category.
