"Nicholas is the grand dame of Lebanese food in Portland, and its takeout game is extremely strong. Quick work-week lunchers can grab a bowl of lamb with saffron rice and toum, or a chicken shawarma wrap. For dinner, families may instead opt for meze platters with things like hummus, muhammara, or tabouli, or individual meze like ground beef-stuffed grape leaves or arnabeet, a fried cauliflower dish. Chocolate peanut butter baklava is a smart finish to any meal." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
