I ordered Cedar Grill from UberEats last week and forgot to review it. The results are not good folks. It was delivered so I cannot review the diner, but the food was mediocre at best. I ordered a small fatoosh salad, the house Mezza Plate, and a side of garlic sauce. The salad was really bad, the lettuce was old and soggy. The bread had that reheated hardened texture to it (obviously reheated a couple times), and all of the Mezza's (in my opinion) were pretty bland. Especially the hummus. I didn't even like the garlic sauce, (which I paid extra for) it was gritty, not smooth like it usually is at other middle eastern restaurants. read more

OMG! Why didn't I go here sooner? I had a crazy New Yasmeen Bakery craving yesterday, but it's a long way to drive for a sandwich, so I looked at the Yelp reviews and gave Cedar Grille a try. I went back for dinner tonight. The hot pita bread is PERFECT! One of the small joys in life. The sandwiches are HUGE and have generous portions of meat. They are cheap for the amount of protein you get, but I do opt to add veggies so they are more like the Shawarma I grew up with :-) Good hummus, fattoush, garlic sauce, grape leaves. Very big portions - plenty to share. You could feed 4 adults on less that $40 carry out if you take advantage of sandwiches and mezza portions of their menu. Excellent guava smoothie. I did not dine in, but it looks very classy yet relaxed. Like it's not the kind of restaurant where they would rush you. Where I'm from, Mediterranean eating means spending time with friends and family, so that is a big plus in my book. The people who own the restaurant and work there are super nice and hospitable. Would give 6 stars if I could because I thought I had given up the beloved Lebanese food of my childhood when I left Dearborn. Would eat here every day if I could afford it. read more

I was in the mood for a Greek salad while staying at a nearby hotel for work but didn't want to get my hopes up too high as I lived in a Greek neighborhood in NYC for 11 years and nothing can top the Greek salads in my old hood. I called in my order for pick-up, asking for grilled chicken included with my salad (packaged separately). I got way more food than I was expecting (including a bag of little baked puffed up pita bread things and a separately rolled up plain flat bread and their yummy garlic sauce for dipping). The salad was awesome, the very generous portion of chicken was tasty and both exceeded my expectations for a very reasonable price. I will definitely add this place to my list of spots to return to when I am in town again. read more

Want to give it 4.5 stars! The service, awesome. The food, out of this world! The last .5 star is not given bc the restaurant is so hot! Air conditioning must be broken. Just do take out and it will be 5 stars! About 5 people came in just for take out while we were there! I got the 1/2 deboned chicken, all white meat. And it was perfect! Edges crispy but center still juicy! The rice side dish, wow! My husband got lamb kebabs and the meat was probably the best lamb I have ever had. So juicy, crispy outside and so tender! If we lived closer we would be regulars! read more

I dislike doing bad reviews, but the whole experience for this late lunch was bad. First, there is a sign at the front that says wait to be seated, I stood there for quite a while before someone finally noticed me and said to take any seat. After a few minutes I ordered a simple lunch item. The soup and food came pretty fast, the soup was good, the simple rice and lamb was bland and not good. There was only one waitress and thus she didn't bring silverware and after waiting to see if I could get her attention, I got up and walked to the cashier to get my own. Then getting a water refill was painful, but after some time she did fill it up. She seems like a very nice lady and I don't think she could help it being the only waitress and she was cleaning tables too. Get the poor girl some help. The manager should help her instead of chatting it up with the college students. read more

I ate at Cedar Grille while on a business trip to Troy, and it was the best decision I have ever made. Without exaggeration, this is some of the best food I have ever eaten, and by far the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. First, the service is excellent. I was seated quickly and checked on regularly by a waiter and a waitress. I don't remember their names, but both were younger and very friendly, polite and efficient. They were the only two working at the time, and they both managed to take care of around 10 tables with ease. The food is to die for. I ordered the Lemon Chicken and crushed lentil soup. The meal came with a side of almond rice, fresh steaming pitas and authentic Mediterranean salsa. The soup was fantastic. It had the consistency of split-pea soup, but with crushed lentils, finely diced onions, and lemon juice. I've never had this type of soup before, but it was a pleasant surprise. The pita bread was pulled out of the oven seconds before it hit the table. it was hot, steaming, and fluffy. I ate it with the Mediterranean-themed salsa, olive oil and red-wine vinegar. The main course consisted of sliced chicken breast, sautéed in a creamy (but light) tomato, lemon and garlic sauce. The lemon flavor was robust, but not overpowering. I even think there were some diced mushrooms in the sauce, and I HATE mushrooms with a fiery passion that burns hotter than a thousand suns, but I didn't care. It was so good, I ate every last bit I could scrape up with a fork. I would have licked the plate if I wouldn't have looked like a crazy man. In retrospect, I should have licked the plate. The main course was also paired with almond rice, which was the least interesting part of the meal, but was still exceptional. The rice was cooked with sliced almonds and some fresh herbs. I left in blissful agony. My stomach hates me for eating so much, and considering the huge portions, I can understand its anger. If you are in Troy - scratch that, if you're in Michigan, eat here. You will not regret it. My compliments the entire staff. Oh, I almost forgot: The best part? $15 for the entire meal (including tax). I felt like I was stealing from them. read more

I had visited the Cedar Grille before for lunch and was very satisfied with my experience. Tonight, myself and 2 other friends of mine visited them for dinner. I was amazed at the quality of service and the food. It was one of the best fattoush salads I have had. The garlic sauce was amazing. The lamb shawarma was superb. The portions were large and we had to ask for boxes. I look forward to my next visit. read more

I highly recommend this place. Great Mediterranean cuisine! I prefer to eat vegetarian and there are many options on the menu. On Friday nights they have Lamb Shank which my husband loves. The garlic and hummus is delicious and I love their house salad. We always share it. If your in the mood for good mediterranean food, this is your place. Enjoy read more

I really admire the spotless presentation this restaurant has. As a vegetarian, I love the healthy food they have. My husband loves the fresh baked bread and flat bread along with the garlic sauce, yes, it is very strong, but I would say no garlic sauce is really good if it lacks that strong flavor. What about the hummus? Delicious! You should not miss the Orange Power smoothie. That is a must! The last time I tried Falafel Sandweechet and the crushed lentil soup. Amazing!!! I don't need to say that Cedar Grille is in new addition on my favorite places... read more

I have eaten here several times for lunch and dinner and have tried various items and have not been disappointed anytime I've been here. Their salads are excellent, the hummus very good, and on occasion I have ordered a couple of their juices which have been outstanding. This is one of those places that is a small but very well run operation, and whenever I am in the area and need a good bike that is healthy and reasonably priced, I will continue to stop in here and recommend you give this place a try. read more

Great food and great service. The lamb kabob it wonderful, I like to get it with grilled vegetables instead of rice or fries. Oh and they also have good bread! read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots around troy. The menu has a ton of different lebanese and other middle eastern specialties to choose from. They alwyas have a daily special which is usually amazing, the lamb shank is huge and is one of my favorites. The staff is always super friendly and the prices are reasonable. No matter what you order make sure to get some bread and garlic sauce...you will not be dissappointed. I eat here as often as I can. If you are going around lunch time they are usually very busy so if you are getting take out I would recommend calling ahead or placing an order online. read more

I'm writing this review in the middle of my meal because it's so good! I ordered off of Uber Eats. I *thought* I ordered a chicken shawarma with garlic sauce. To my surprise, when I received the order (within 25 minutes of placing the order, by the way), I found chicken, rice, garlic sauce, a side salad, and 3 pieces of bread. I now have lunch for tomorrow too! The rice was buttery and soft, the chicken was seasoned perfectly, the salad dressing was amazing, and the bread was warm and delicious. This will likely be one of my new go-to's for lunch! read more

Cedar Grille - Chicken shawarma with a side salad - Mediterranean Near Me - Troy, Michigan

Great find! I am in town with my family of 4 and wanted something simple and good for everyone. We got the Sampler Combo for 2 and there was plenty of food for 2 hungry adults and a couple of kids. Salad, meats, rice, hummus and more. Our food was ready for take out in 15 minutes. I definitely recommend. read more

Consistently fresh and flavorful Middle Eastern food. I gladly vouch for their grape leaves, pita bread, hummus, rice pilaf, lamb kebobs, chicken shwarma, greek salad, and lentil soup. Dining in is pleasant, casual, and clean but I mostly get carry out to make a back at home. If you do too, expect still plenty left over. Those little pitas filled with any of their meat dishes makes a delicious little sammie with a schmear of hummus. read more

Have gotten carry out twice from them. Beautiful decor in the restaurant. Claudia and her staff are very attentive and helpful in deciphering what I want but cannot remember the name of. LOL Food is excellent. Will continue to eat there and am telling everyone I know. read more

House salad was very good. Humus fresh and homemade.split the combination plate, everything had a great taste. Portions were large. As we were only people dining in that evening, the waitress seemed a little disinterested in getting any refills on tea, or checking on us. Overall food might bring me back tho. read more

The wife and daughter love the food here. I am not convinced from my dining in experience. Listening to condenser noise and weak service didn't do much for me. I had the Mixed grill and hummus. Okay, but not special. read more

A very classical cause place with a warm environment and ambient furniture i felt at home . the music dances to my ears of arabic traditional music . The place is very clean , food is supper yummy ! yummy is the perfect word . They make their own house salad dressing . A student who is studying here in the USA I didn't feel away from home as i ate it . As if it came right from my mothers kitchen . I tried the Lemon chicken and guess what ? It was AWSOME and the person who served said this is the most famous dish here ! Then a very nice ending with rice pudding well designed ! read more

I've come here for 8 years when in town. Consistently good food. Had Kussa tonight which is my favorite. Soooo good! read more

Excellent little place with delicious food. What sets them apart is the friendly service and accommodating staff. One night they let us in even after they were closed and were able to accommodate my multiple dietary restrictions and preferences. I would eat here any time I am in Troy. Thank you Cedar Grille. read more

Great service. Food is warm and delicious! I got the chicken tawook sandwich, it was soooo good!!! Owner is very sweet!

I felt like I was bothering them by ordering my food. I will never come back to this restaurant again. The food

We went here last night for dinner. Mediterranean food is my absolute favorite and something I can't really get on my side of the state, so I always try to go and grab some when we are over here. I really enjoyed the small, cozy atmosphere of the Cedar Grill. My husband and I both admired the big mirrors on the wall. The staff was VERY friendly, kind, and enjoyed interacting with our 11 month old son. The service was quick and efficient. We did have a brief moment where we were worried they forgot the hot tea we ordered, but it came out moments after that, between the appetizer and main dish. They have green tea and Lebanese tea you can order, I'd go for the Lebanese tea; it is a delicious ceylon tea. We ordered the Mezza plate and had plenty of delicious, warm bread to accompany it. You could see the bread baking in the oven behind the counter. All the dishes were solid. Nothing blew me away, but we finished everything. A blessing to it not being over-seasoned was that our son enjoyed the dips as well. For a main dish we shared the Cedar mixed grille. The chicken was well seasoned, but over cooked. The ground meat kabob was good, not my husband's favorite, but we knew that before we ordered. The kiddo and I enjoyed it. The steal kabob was great! Cooked perfectly, about medium rare. I loved that they did not leave the kabob sticks in the meat. It made dividing everything so much easier. The rice was average and the garlic sauce was milder that I had hoped and a small portion too.It was the only part of the meal I was truly disappointed with, but I am a garlic fanatic. Baklava was sweet and not enough pistachios for my husband. I enjoyed it, especially with my tea. There are three small pieces in each order. All in all. the Cedar Grille was a nice plate to eat. It was close to our hotel, was very child friendly (the waitress waved us out the door when we paused to wipe the high chair clean!), and the meal left me feeling healthy and happy. I might not seek it out unless I was staying nearby, but this is a nice place and I'd be interested in trying more from them some day. read more

Eh, this place has a TON of competition in and around Troy, and I feel like it's just not up to snuff. I prefer Lebanese Grill or La Marsa. Was here the other day - got the baba ganouj, which was lacking in that really nice grilled flavor, and a fattoush salad with chicken shawarma. Salad was so-so, pita chips weren't the crispest, and chicken shawarma was strangely bland, which is a first. It's weird because I had some catering from this place and that was really good... I'm not sure what the disconnect is. read more

As an immigrant from Lebanon, this place has the BEST shish tawook sandwiches in the area. Classic garlic paste with pickles and the chicken has a tandoori chicken feel. You won't regret it! read more

I am from NYC and always eat here 1-2 times whenever I am in town. The fattoush salad dressing is soo good. Chicken is juicy and the hummus is creamy. Great meal. read more

This place is awesome. Our favorite place for lebanese food in the area - by far. Everything we've ordered has been delicious. Particularly recommend the deboned chicken, the chicken ghallaba. Fresh baked bread. Great smoothies and desserts. Love it. read more

Food is good, fresh garlic and the bread is amazing but don't get a smoothie it's more like a fruity Icee... Seriously you get a lot of ice

Great food went in with a 22 person party. Really nice waitress served us by her self and she did great some people weren't happy but I couldn't thank her enough. Very great service. Food was all up too par never heard a complaint from anyone about it. read more

Great lentil soup and I usually never go for lentil. Staff was very nice! Chicken Shawarma was delicious. The naan/roll/bread that came with the soup was a nice surprise as well! read more

What an amazing place to eat The waitress "Tera" was so amazing and her recommendations were awesome! The mix grill kebab was a great choice. Too bad we don't live here otherwise I would be here every day. It truly reminded me a place I visited during my deployment to Iraq. read more

Well cooked Lebanese food in a neat and tidy setting. Does a brisk take out trade and the place filled up very quickly at lunch time. Good value for the money, top quality food too. Parking is tricky out front. Will certainly return. Only wish they had lamb kafta. read more

Every visit here is friendly and welcoming, with fresh baked pita and tasty food. The hummus chicken sauté has become my go-to selection, but everything has been enjoyable! read more

This is my families absolute GO-TO. We get the Fattoush salads with chicken, pita with Hummus and salsa, and Shawarma sandwiches. Something about the dressing and the way the chicken is cooked/marinated/seasoned is unreal. The salad dressing is also great and the Garlic paste it comes with is unmatched. It is not a mayo consistence but a stiff/butter-like one, and it taste's amazing. Sometimes the bread is flat which is annoying because I LOVE to make little salad pockets with them but usually this is not the case. Not really your special night out, but truly a city staple--and healthy. read more
