    A friend invited me to go try Cedarland and ofcourse I agreed! Comfortable, welcoming atmosphere with a delicious menu to pair with it! We ordered the Cedar Plate to share which was plenty of food for the both of us. Overall the food was tasty, I give it 4 stars overall because the meat was slightly dry but not dry enough where I wouldn't come back & give it another shot. The Tabouli was so fresh with the perfect amount of flavor. I also ordered a fruit smoothie, which was pretty refreshing! They do not serve alcohol here but they have a large variety of healthy juices for you to pick from! Service was quick and friendly. I would recommend anyone who enjoys Middle Eastern Cuisine or is looking to try it out for the first time to visit Cedarland Restaurant! They've been around since 1986 so it's safe to say that you'll be in good hands!

    Absolute best deboned chicken I've had over the years in Dearborn, really anywhere as there are a few spots that I frequent closer to Ann Arbor. Pic below is Deboned chicken but I added the lemon oregano sauce. Plain first is my recommendation. The beef/lamb Shawarma also hits. I plan to be back to try some of the raw juices, platters, and dinners next time I'm fasting for the holiday season. The person who recommended this place to me, said they've been open since the 80s You can feel the family history, care and concern as soon as you walk in. Shout out to the two younger brothers who usually run the front orders are handled with care and come out quickly. It's these type of establishments you don't mind spending money with!

    Dining area reminds me of an old I-Hop restaurant with plenty of open table seating and booths on the outside perimeter. They offer dine-in, take out, or drive-up window order/pickup. Menu is pretty extensive - appetizers, salads, house entrees, sandwiches, juices, large plates servings 5-20 people, seafood, daily specials and desserts. We order the half rotisserie chicken w/rice + salad and small order hummus w/ lamb; large orders come with choice of rice, hummus, baba ghanough, fries or salad. Nice sized portions and pretty good overall.

    This is my favorite Mediterranean restaurant. The food is amazing and prices are affordable. The staff have been there for a while and always take good care of us while providing great service and great good. They offer a complimentary lentil soup when you dine inside and free pita. The restaurant ambiance can be busy with families at night but have never encountered a long wait time, or any wait time when dining inside. It is a spacious place and has a lot of seating for small or large parties

    Salads for feast

    Came here for lunch. We ordered the cedar feast which is a huge portion for 5 people. Seriously we had so much leftovers! Lentil soup was given to all which was nice. Two kinds of pita, then thin and thick kind. We enjoyed the thick more, wish there was more it and that it was hot rather than room temp. Dips were all tasty. Salad was tasty, enjoyed the regular salad more than fatoush. Meats were all good but not great. Overall it was a good meal.

    I use to come here frequently 20 years ago, but had moved away. It was my hands down favorite for Arabic food. I recently visited on a trip to Detroit. I was blown away. It was still amazing & I felt like it was in a time capsule (in the best way). Generous portions & the most friendly service. We ordered way too much food. Our server brought us a variety of different to go containers & bags to accommodate the left overs. She even packed us up extra fresh bread & pickled turnips to take with us. We enjoyed breaking it all out for lunch the next day. I could not get over how it felt & tasted just like it did 20 years ago! If you have something great, don't mess with it. They definitely followed that rule. Same quality, tasty & ample portioned food. Along with a clean, classic, yet unique atmosphere. It made my heart so happy!! Thank you Cedarland!!! I will most definitely be back every time I return to the area.

    We drove up and down Dearborn near the start of Ramadan trying to find a decent place to eat for weekend brunch - bad idea! Basically everything in the area was closed. Thirty minutes and five restaurants later, we drove past the brightly lit open sign of Cederland and decided to stop by. We've been the Bakery next door before (which was excellent) so we were hoping the restaurant would be equally good. We got the Cedar Plate w/ Rice and Fattoush ($35.95) which came with a variety of different meats and sides. Complimentary Pita - They give you two sandwich bags of quartered pita that I assume is from a local commercial bakery. Complimentary Lentil Soup - It's a good lentil soup, warm and full of cumin, black pepper, and other spices. They're pretty sloppy with the service on this this - there were dried lentils crusted all over the outside of the soup bowl. Fattoush - Fairly standard salad, lightly dressed. They really stacked the salad on the plate that was way too small - pieces of various vegetables were flying off the sides whenever we attempted to serve. Rice - Pilaf-like rice mixed with vermicelli, with slivered almonds and chopped parsley on top. It's a good base for all the other items. I was a bit surprised that they only gave you a choice of either rice or hummus - usually other places give you both. Plate w/ Kabob, 2x Kafta, Tawook, 2x Falafel, 2x Fried Kibbee, 4x Grape Leaves, Chicken and Meat Shawarma - Yikes, not sure what happened here. Two words can describe most of this plate: dry or salty. On the dry side we had the Tawook and the Shawarma. They were nicely seasoned with Lebanese spices, but both were dry and stringy (especially the tawook). On the salty side, we had the Falafel, Kabob, and Kafta. The Kafta had a nice mix of meat and parsely, and the Falafel was well spiced and fried, but after each bite, I had to drink an entire cup of water. I feel like the only items I actually enjoyed on this plate were the Kibbee (fried to perfection) and the Grape Leaves (very nicely textured mix of rice and ground meat inside). The rest was somewhat disappointing. Toum (Garlic) - The Plate came with 4x 2oz plastic cups of toum. The texture was more of a watery mayo consistency than a paste. They seem to add quite a bit of lemon juice, resulting in a more sourness than other places. I believe they also add potato to dampen some of the garlic pungency - unfortunately this adds a slight potato taste and some additional grittiness. I found this to be a below average toum. As with all the other Middle Eastern restaurants in the area, they give a ton of food for the money. We easily had enough leftovers for maybe another 2 or 3 meals during the week. As a note: Cederland serves tap water free of charge (the mom and pop restaurants here are hit and miss in terms of charging for water). I'm not sure what happened here. Cederland seems to be pretty highly recommended and regarded in the area. Perhaps they didn't have their normal staff on hand due to Ramadan?

    Cedarland is one of those restaurants that I find myself coming back to time and time again because it's one of the original halal establishments I started going to when options were still limited. The decor is outdated for sure and could use a refresh. That aside, our experience was otherwise very pleasant. We ordered the Cedar feast with 4 of grown adults and we still had plenty leftover. Portions are very generous and everything on the platter was delicious. Our waitress was great and checked on us throughout our meal. Reliable service and great food is why I return.

    Chicken Shawarma Entree Plate

    GIGANTIC portions. Enough for 2-3 people to share 1 dish. Great service and pretty tasty food. I got the chicken shawarma but it was a tad dry however very tasty and they gave so much food. Pickles delish!

    Salad
    Mary M.

    I can see why the reviews are great. Firstly they have a drive through which is unique as most places of similar cuisine don't have that option. Friendly staff, we were seated quickly, orders taken promptly and food came out shortly after that. Complimentary Lentil soup was brought to the table with some bread. It was warm and tasty. Hummus with beef was out absolute favourite, full of flavour. The fattoush salad was also a favourite amongst the group. Lots of zesty lemon. The chicken shawarma was the perfect size. Overall, highly recommend!

    The absolute best restaurant experience in Detroit/Michigan/Midwest and everywhere in between.
