So this place was fantastic when it had the original Lebanese owner. Unfortunately it was sold to new owners. I expected the quality to absolutely drop. It’s still pretty good though…for now.While the food isn’t as refined and tasty as it was before (might be in my head). Combined with the price increases I can’t give it a 5 stars.Something that would improve the vibe is the music. Please change the radio station back. Currently plays the oldies radio station way too loud. Please just play some soft Lebanese background music. You can’t even hear a friend talking if you’re under the speakers. The music just doesn’t match the restaurant.

We catered for a birthday with 20+ guests last weekend. We met with Holly prior to ordering to discuss the size of the trays, amount of food needed, and both VG and GF options. She was very friendly and helpful. Our order was ready, warm, and complete when we picked it up. The amount of food was perfect and everyone in attendance thought all of the food was delicious and included great variety. Would do this again! Highly recommend Cedar Grill. Vegetarian options: Falafel, hummus, babaganoush, salads Dietary restrictions: Gluten free. Staff did inform us that the rice is not GF.
We visited this restaurant on a Saturday night with my husband and were the second couple to dine inside, although there were plenty of takeout orders. We ordered the Veggie Grape Leaves, Falafel Wrap, and Gyro Plate with Rice Pilaf. Everything was delicious and flavorful. The ambiance was average, and the service was satisfactory. Since the restaurant is located in a plaza, parking was easy to find. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!
Flavor was good, however, they need to work on timing. I got the impression the restaurant is newer. The schwarma was good (good flavor). However, the food was barely warm when we got it. I think they were managing lunch takeout orders and lost track of my food. The restaurant was clean and looked new. I hope they work through the timing issue as the food is good and well prepared. Fingerscrosed!! Book a table now
Had dinner here with a friend Saturday evening. Tons of seating on other side of the kitchen. We both had the falafel plate, and I added a cup of lentil soup. The falafel tasted very fresh, the lentil soup delicious! Very turmeric-y. Next time I will get the tabouli and Baba ghanoush… gotta try this place is you also love falafel!
The kabobs and koftas are outstanding. The mixed grill offers a perfect combination of flavors. As for parking, there is ample space available.
Friendly and quick service. Good food had the Chicken Shawarma lunch plate, heck of a deal. Place is clean enough, plenty big. I’ll be back.
Never had this type of food before…was blown away on the flavors and all the different colors on the plate. Very good! Book a table now
Very tasty food. The Mediterranean Bowl is my favorite. The vine/grape leaves are very good too.
I’m in love with the garlic sauce with my chicken kabob. I feel like a fire breathing dragon!!!
