Cedarland has delicious food from shawarma to humus to baklava. The gyros are outstanding too. There is nothing on the menu we've tried that hasn't been excellent. The service is great too. Everyone is friendly and kind. We also like that you can buy ingredients there for making some of the food at home. The atmosphere is casual and quiet. It's not a fine dining experience but that's ok. The food is too good to care! read more

Food was very very good! Fair price and good portions. The service was prompt, friendly and accurate. We sat in dining room and it had a nice vibe, would be nice for small parties. I recommend and plan to be back soon! read more

This is place for awesome Lebanese food! Family owned. Always perfect! Love their gyros, hummus, falafel, and baklava! I've been a customer for decades! They have eat in dining, order to go, or delivery! Located in an easy to find location across from Carroll High School. If you are in the mood for authentic Middle-eastern cuisine...this is the place! Enjoy! read more

Excellent flavors, meat texture could really be improved. My darling wife & I stopped by CedarLand this afternoon for some food. My chicken shawarma platter was attractively plated. The included sauce was NICE & garlicky. Turnip & cucumber pickles were crunchy & lightly salty. I'd never had tabouli salad before, and was concerned that it would taste TOO strongly of parsley. My fears were unfounded. I loved the tabouli salad. Great texture, great lemon juice flavor. Hummus was creamy, and had a great flavor. The thyme (zatar) pie was very nice. Unfortunately, the chicken on my chicken shawarma platter was DRY DRY DRY. Nicely seasoned, but DRY. Not sure if it had been rotating in front of the flame too long, but chicken doesn't need to be this "dead." My wife had the lamb kebab platter. She had the excellent hummus with it, along with fattoush salad. She found the salad excellent, and the toasted pita chips gave a nice crunchy texture without the HARD chunks seen with normal croutons. Unfortunately, the chunks of lamb, despite being nicely seasoned, were TOUGH. This might have been a result of how the lamb was cooked, or its leanness. In any case, even with the provided knife, she found it a bit tough going to cut the lamb chunks into smaller pieces. On the "plus" side, I generally despise lamb, its flavor, and its smell. I actually could tolerate the lamb from her plate (despite it being tough). The restaurant was VERY clean, bright, quiet, and warm (even the bathroom!). A great environment. The staff were all very friendly. I'd gladly rate them 5+ stars if the cooked meat texture was improved. read more

They absolutely have the best Tabouli in the area! It's is such a pleasure to go to a family run local business!

The Michelin company likely does not cover Ohio because they know if they did, they would have to give CedarLand 4 stars. Consistently excellent service and great value. Everything I have ever had here has been delicious. Easily my favorite restaurant. read more

Cedar land has the best shawarma , hummus, pitas , baklava! I could go on and on definitely check out this restaurant it will turn you not one of your favorites! read more

This is not a fancy place, but the food is pretty good. You order at the counter, then they bring your food to you. I like that they have pictures for most of the menu items. I enjoyed the mini meat pies, falafel. and baba ghanoush. I did like their grape leaves, but not the best I've had in the area--they were a bit dry to me. My husband really enjoyed his shawarma. Oh, I almost forgot the baklava, that was delicious. Overall, a nice place for a quick meal. read more

This is a very authentic Lebanese restaurant. They have offerings that are hard to find at other places like stuffed zucchini. Their savory baked goodies are so good, it makes one dream about them. Flying to OH just to go there is justifiable. I'd go there again just to eat there... You walk up to the front, examine all the good pictures hanging up, and proceed to order everything on the menu which we almost did. The owners are nice and accommodating. If you are close by, go there now... read more

I hate that I hadn't been to Cedarland for a while. Glad we decided to fix that tonight. I had the chicken schwarma and we also got a vegetarian sampler..both rated 5/5. This food is fresh and flavorful. The folks who work there are friendly and helpful. Yum! read more

CedarLand Bakery & Restaurant - Baklava - Mediterranean Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I had a Groupon (remember those?!?) for Cedarland and was looking forward to giving them a try, and was not disappointed. Great "off the beaten path/hole in the wall" spot, wonderful "mom and pop" operation with so many tempting options, you'll want to try one of EVERYTHING!! I got the Mediterranean Sampler (Rice with ground beef, kebbe ball, hummus, tabouli, grape leaves and pita bread) and shared a few pies (meat, cheese, and spinach) with my friends. Everything was so good and fresh!! Would probably just order a bunch of apps. next time I'm there, just to sample a bit of everything. Although we were FULL, we couldn't resist sampling a few of the more traditional and lesser known (to me, anyway...) dessert pastries. All were delicious!! Be sure to give this wonderful Lebanese eatery a try... We were the only ones dining in on a Saturday evening, but they did have a steady flow of take-out orders. A little tough to find (they're right next to McDonald's) but DEFINITELY worth the trip!! read more

I am just trying this for the first time, and I think it is new favorite. It taste so good, with the yummy chicken, Lebanese style pickles, the garlic sauce and french fries... It's delicious. I will be dreaming about this sandwich! read more

CedarLand Bakery & Restaurant - Grape Leaves. - Mediterranean Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Some of the best Lebanese food I've ever had. I never like baba gannoush until I had it here. I always like to get their baklava too. Get extra garlic sauce! You'll thank me later read more

Outstanding food and service! My favorite is the chicken Shawarma, or sometimes I get the vegetarian sampler platter. It's all good! I usually snap a photo of what I order but the food is so good I dive right in and regret not taking a photo . If you love eating here, check out Groupon for this place. There's usually discounts and it's worth it! read more

Awesome local place! So many restaurants these days have tasteless food - not here; amazing use of spices for real flavor! Love the baba ghanoush; especially with a mini thyme pie added...so good! Tried this place a few weeks back and have been back again twice - every sandwich we tried was fantastic! Plus, best baklava ever...see pic; better yet, treat yourself to a piece! read more

CedarLand Bakery & Restaurant - Baklava - walnut; and they have several other options that are good too; but walnut is the best!! - Mediterranean Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

Their food was served to us this evening for our retreat dinner. Everything was fantastic. I am not a big shawarma fan, but theirs was delicious. The rice was well seasoned and paired nicely with the meal. My main meal was chicken and beef for my pita. Once again, everything was seasoned well and tasted great. Next time I am in Dayton, I plan to bring my family here. I look forward to seeing what else their menu has to offer. read more

The food is unbelievable. The tabouli salad is fantastic. If you've never had this it is a real treat. The prices and quality can't be beat. The grape leaves don't have any stems or veins. They're like big spinach leaves. The vegetarian and vegan menus are extensive but the meat dishes are great too. Nothing is greasy or fatty or loaded with gristle. The menu including deserts is extensive. read more

I would never eat here again. The service was substandard (did not serve our meal in any reasonable amount of time, we had to keep asking for what we ordered, the meal was served piecemeal); the food was at best indifferent, at worse inedible; the restaurant was not clean--tables left with food scraps on them; floor filthy with food scraps, paper and other debris. Big mistake to stop and eat here, one I will not repeat. It almost seems like it is not really a restaurant but rather a cover for other things..... read more

I love shawarmas and this place serves the best shawarma I had in a long time. The ladies were really nice and friendly.

Authentic Lebanese food with the best hummus. The food looks s always fresh and tasty.

My wife and I ordered beef shawarma, tabouli, hummus, stuffed squash, and grape leaves. The beef shawarma was really dry, had almost no flavor, and was too small for a "dinner" portion. The grape leaves were really small too, but they were tasty. The tabouli and hummus were excellent, though their sizes were also off-putting. Finally, the stuffed squash. The sauce was good, but the rice inside was dry and undercooked to the pint of being chewy. I could tell the squash had been prepared long ago. Do not go. Terrible value. Mediocre flavors. read more

Love Cedarland. The shawarmas are amazing but I love the shawarma salad even more! We haven't had anything we didn't love there. Great and friendly staff too. Highly recommend. read more

The food here is great and they have lot of options to pick from for meals and deserts. The service is friendly and helpful. They have a great inside dining area to that provides a unique environment. I highly recommend. read more

There is a good reason why this restaurant is empty! My husband and I went for their buffet for lunch today and the food was horrible... All the food tested so bad and looked so bad as well. They had old falafel, bad spaghetti, unflavored meet, and unseasoned salad!!! Stay away from their lentil soup as it was uneatable and might have been cooked weeks ago and please don't think their dessert is Arabic (it's the worst thing you would ever eat). I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone... read more

This place had excellent homemade Mediterranean style cuisine with top-notch service. What this restaurant lacks in appearance, it makes up for it where it counts! I'll definitely be returning soon. Also, in-case it's important the food is Halal. It is also fairly priced. read more

Finally was able to treat my taste buds to this place ! Ordered takeout/delivery through DoorDash. I pretty much love everything vegetarian about Mediterranean food. I ordered the veg platter I am allergic to eggplant so i ask them to sub the baba g for whatever they wanted if it was an option and I got a Spinach pie! Everything was delicious, I've had better falafel but over all I was very pleased! Looking forward to my next order. Also the coffee is read more

This was our first visit. Wow!!! Beautiful, fresh cuisine! Try the Kebbe! I had never even heard of Kebbe before but now I must have more!! We will definitely be back!! read more

Hey fellow foodies! I was on my way home on Linden Rd and hungry at 8:55pm. There was Arby's, McDonalds, and Penn Station. I pulled into Mc Donald's when I suddenly and unexpectedly saw Cedarland Restaurant and Bakery. I ran in because they were closing in 3 minutes and I was craving a middle eastern falafel wrap. The very nice lady was extremely pleasant and gladly made me a falafel wrap. And it was perfect! This is a Lebanese restaurant that also has a full buffet on Saturdays with many rice dishes, chicken, fish and LAMB! This Elite Yelper has found a gem! I will be back! Often! And FYI, the desserts look AMAZING! Dr Jeff read more

CedarLand Bakery & Restaurant - Great variety of middle eastern food! - Mediterranean Near Me - Dayton, Ohio

I love this restaurant. The staff is warm and inviting- they even gave me some pointers on how to make pita at home! The falafel pita was flavorful and the tabbouleh was fresh and delicious. I took home all (five) of the assorted desserts to my boyfriend and we've been snacking and raving about them all night. Can't wait to share this place with friends!! read more

This was good food. I got the falafel sandwich and it was true Lebanese! The workers are sweet and they have a little grocery area.

beautiful food. locally speaking, this is by far the best mediterranean you can get around here. its pretty cheap for what it is, proudly owned by people that are clearly passionate about what they make, and it is actually fresh - a quality taste of jerusalem or yaffa grill cant say about themselves. bread is baked incredibly well, baklava is straight holiday tier of excellence in terms of how delicately its produced, and the subtleties of the flavors. one of the best places to eat in a desert of 'artisan' burgers, fast food, and general junk yaffa comes close to this only due to the sheer volume of food you get for what you pay, but after eating it several times compared to this it's quite obvious cedarland actually MAKES food, not just COOKING things out of boxes. taste of jerusalem only deserves credit in so far as everything its surrounded by is drivel thank u cedarland. also love the inside decor and logo read more

Happy every time that I go pick up my dinner or lunch from CedarLand! Great value with plenty for leftovers.

This place offers a rose drink that is super hard to find and it's super delicious. I love their menu because it's diverse and it offers lunch specials. The only dislikes I have is that their buffet is up to par with the ordered foods. For those of you who are sensitive or dislike strongly seasoned food you might want to stray away from the buffet. Granted all the foods have strong flavours, but the buffets can be a little overpowering. Otherwise the service is nice and I like their baklava. It's a nice Lebanese restaurant to at least try out. read more

The variety is as broad as the flavor is addictive. Please change nothing!? We will definitely be coming back!

What a great little spot! Came here with my mom who still lives in the area and has been wanting to try it for a while. She has celiac and they even had gluten free bread to serve with the hummus. I was pleasantly surprised by that! Their hummus was THE BEST I've ever had. So creamy chicken shawarma was huge and veg falafel was yummy. Only complaint was that the grape leaves and shawarma didn't have a lot of meat. Still delicious! Highly recommend PS you'll get a free baklava when you check in! Soo tasty read more

The food is amazing and the people are so kind and welcoming. I've only been here twice but I'll probably make this my spot for halal food
