My family and I love this place and we always get a carry out when I'm in town visiting. Everything is delicious! Some of my favorites include the fattoush salad, fried kibbe, hummus, chicken, and all the shawarma sandwich options. The meats are so tender and flavorful. The hummus is amazing! We've eaten at the restaurant many times too and it's very spacious and clean. The service is excellent. They also do catering and we've used them for parties. We've been happy Cedarland customers for over a decade and cheers to many more good meals! read more

I will agree with other reviewer, the portion is large. They give you enough for 3 people. I will admit the chicken was a little dry for me. The service was great. They appear to get a lot of drive through orders. I am suggestion you give them a try, if you have a hearty appetite. read more

Been eating here since they opened in 1986 with my grandparents, food is still great! They are the OG Middle Eastern restaurant in Dearborn. Stop here for food then goto Shatlia for desert great afternoon trip from howell just to eat ! read more

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! read more

The Cedar Land combo I got a riot which is a calf down in Peterborough. We got rice and of course I put in to go bags cause I'm taking all this home and there's fries and and a salad I picked for two and it was supposed to be a lamb champ here I don't know. It's probably in here somewhere in here. Service is excellent. It's family style. They welcome you with open arms and great food. read more

Definetely the real deal. Staff were awesome, helpful, and enthusiastic about what they do and helping their customers. The Fattoush was great at a 9.2/10, the fried Kibbeh I can't give an accurate rating as it was my first experience but I will go with 8.9/10. The Falafel (9.5/10) was great and unique to any other falafel I have had in that it had a nice crisp but delicate bight. We got a platter with all of the meat options except for Chicken/Tawook. The stand-out were the lamb chops which were ridiculously tender and delicious. The Kofta was also fantastic and more light on the spices which I actually enjoyed. Overall I'm seriously going with a 9.7/10. read more

It seems that Cedarland has sorted things out and are back to greatness. I'm a 35 year patron and am happy to report that all my recent visits have been very good. The chicken and lamb/beef shawarma sandwiches are hefty and delicious. The portions are generous! Meat and rice stuffed grape leaves are awesome. Rotisserie chicken is juicy and deliciously seasoned with lemons, cinnamon sticks and herbs. The salads, hummous, baba ghannouj and lentil soup are all great. This is a staple restaurant, an absolute pillar in Dearborn. It's a family run diner-style Lebanese restaurant serving big crowds everyday and that is what it succeeds at better than a lot of other places. The staff is friendly and attentive. And there's a drive-thru window! So Cedarland gets a perfect score from me. I hope it stays that way. read more

I like the food and the service. Also prices are really good. I wish they work on decore more but for takeout the food is delicious

When we are in the area we make a point to eat here. The food is SO tasty. Large portions and nice service. It never disappoints. We had lentil soup, fattoush salad, hummus, rice, kafta, tawook, and meat skewers. Fabulous. We needed to move a table and it was very sticky when we grabbed it to move. Also the napkin holder felt greasy. I think it needs a bit of cleaning We will be back read more

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! read more

This is the third time I've received undercooked meat from this restaurant, and unfortunately it seems to happen specifically when I order their larger platters (serving 10-15 people). I've tried to be patient and gave multiple chances, but this is unacceptable especially when feeding a group. At this point, I am requesting a full refund for my order. After repeated experiences like this and lack of communication, I can't justify ordering from here again. Very disappointing, and I will not be returning. If the restaurant would like to reach out directly regarding this matter or process a refund, here are the order details: Ordered: 4/24/26 at 11:21 AM Due: 4/24/26 at 1:00 PM read more

The food here is always great I have to stop by when I come back and visit from California I haven not had better Lebanese cuisine then I have had here , and they always treat me good and they serve you fast also read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Feta Fattoush salad - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

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. read more

Really good food ...inexpensive I usually get the whole chicken dinner,comes with your choice of salad or soup plus garlic sauce ...but they have the usual Arabic fare on the menu Service is always fast and they're pleasant , seems to be family owned restaurant read more

If you want the most authentic experience of Warren Avenue based middle eastern restaurants then forget the hype and go to Cedarland. Order the family platter. Lunch comes with lentil soup. The hummus is enough to feed a family easily but do not miss the kibbe, the fatoush, the shawarma- and endless pita, fresh from their oven read more

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. read more

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 read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Boneless Marinated Grilled Chicken 10 Piece Chicken Wings - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

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? read more

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. read more

My first (and frequent) stop when visiting my old stomping grounds in Dearborn. The drive-thru is key, I can stop and get a shawarma, shish tawook, hummus, tabouli, fatoosh, whatever I'm craving in a reasonable amount of time. The prices have gone up over the years but that's everywhere. Very consistent food and friendly folks at the window. And the lentil soup is to die for. read more

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. read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

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! read more

Today I went to this restaurant I can't believe they treated us so bad I had my daughter she just had surgery on her leg and she was on wheelchair so i ask server to give us wheel chair accessible seating First she said pls seat where ever you like but once I brought my daughter inside they change there mind and telling us there one side is all close even people were alredy seating there but they don't allow us to sit there and offer us the place which was very tight for her to sit and jyst by the service area and the manager came out loudly told us to sit this place or leave but they cannot accommodate us on the right side place this was our first time brought her out and they treat us like that this was ridiculous and not acceptable at all someone has to teach them How to talk to customer in special aid people and how to treat them read more

Hands down the BEST restaurant in Dearborn! Every time I have friends come visit from out of town this is the FIRST place I take them to eat. It's a small little spot but there is plenty of seating. I always without fail order the whole boneless chicken all dark meat. With a side of hummus and Fattoush Salad. The lentil soup is complimentary and it is the best lentil soup I've ever had. I know a lot of people see it and it's green so they don't want to try it. But for me, do it! Ha ha and add some lemon juice that's on the table, if you like lemon you'll thank me! There are plenty of other delicious foods to try and I've had almost the entire menu at this point but I usually stick with my favorite. I highly recommend this spot. You will not be disappointed. Yes, at times the service is slow but, when the place is packed what do people expect? It's a popular spot! Try it today! read more

If I could give Cederland 6 stars out of 5, I would. From the amazing food, to the phenomenal service, a variety that never gets old, and the friendliest staff around, you will find no better dining experience. I travel the country for work and have tried restaurants far and wide, and in saying that, Cederland is the best. Stop in early and often for one of the best food experiences one could ever have. read more

By far thee best hummus I've had in Dearborn! In fact, everything at Cedarland is amazing!! Parking is okay, the atmosphere is simple, but the food is awesommeeee! I ordered the Beef Kafta (4 skewers). The meal came with choice of rice, hummus or baba ghanoush and soup or salad. I ordered the brown rice and salad along with a small hummus. Honestly, the food is halal which is always a plus but the flavors are traditional, tasteful, and filling. I took most of my food to-go because I couldn't finish it all. The serving sizes are HUGE. Service was fantastic. Everyone that works at the restaurant is so sweet! I highly recommend this place. I'll be back!! read more

Food was fresh with original taste like in 80's. Our family and many friends love to hangout here when possibly as it's little too far from northern suburbs. Best PRICES, FOOD & SERVICE! read more

Can't go wrong with Cedarland! The food is delicious and inexpensive! Met up a friend for dinner and the server was friendly and attentive. We all ordered a small tabbouli salad which I feel like the 3 of us could have split one of those! It was the best Tabbouli I've had, very flavorful with parsley, tomatoes, garlic and lemon juice and was not dry whatsoever. We also all ordered sandwiches which were perfect and also had a complimentary lentil soup which was also very good. We also started with the 12 pc falafel which also was tasty. Needless to say, we all left full and with a carryout box. The interior could be updated a bit but I feel like the food and service makes up for that! A must try when in the area. read more

I've known of this place for some time but don't live in the area so I never had the pleasure of visiting. Today we were driving through Dearborn so I suggested we stop. It was the best "whim" I've had in a long time. The menu is extensive and we were overwhelmed with the choices. Our waitress, Chelsea, was both patient and helpful. Her education to some unfamiliar items was priceless and her suggestions, perfect. The atmosphere was casual yet inviting. Even with the large crowd, we had no trouble hearing one another or Chelsea. If the food wasn't superb enough, Chelsea suggested we visit the bakery next door. Oh my word! The chocolate/nutella pastry was downright sinful! Put this on your "to do" list of places to dine. read more

If you're looking for authentic Lebanese food, Cedarland is it! You're greeted at the door with a smile and a lentil soup just to start opening up the appetite. And if you don't want to go in, there's a drive-through. I've never felt such joy eating a meal, and let me tell you, I've had many a meals. The amount of food served is immense and I forget every time and order extra, but the left overs are always just as delicious. From the kibbeh to the hand pies, to the juiciest chicken shawarma you'll have in your life, everything at Cedarland is phenomenal! It's a very homey atmosphere and casual, so dining here just really is about how amazing your tastebuds are going to feel and they will thank you! read more

I have never ever had a bad experience when coming to Cedarland. The service and the food is the best you can get. They even have a drive up window that you can order and pay at. When you go it feels like are being fed like you are family. The service is fast and my favorite is always the Lentil soup, no matter what else I get I have to have Lentil soup with it. Also not to mention you get so much food for great prices. read more

Best Arab place around. Portions are generous. Taste is great! We always get cream chop with mushroom sauce and fattoush salad. Amazing and craving it now! read more

I've eaten at Cedarland for over twenty years, it is the best Lebanese and Middle Eastern food in SE Mich IMHO. The meat is excellent, particularly their lamb, and their humus recipe is out of this world. I've dined in dozens of times and have ordered plates for groups up to fifty. Fantastic bang for your buck, you won't be disappointed. Chicken shwarma, stuffed grape leaf, humus, fattoush salad, and pea soup served with every meal are headliners. Try them, you won't go away disappointed, but instead with plenty of leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. read more

I took a friend out to eat and catch up on things. She doesn't get much outside her limited routine and needed a nudge. We got there just ahead of a little rush. It's a popular restaurant with a drive through, which can take some patience and cooperation to get out of the parking lot when the drive thru line is long...and it was long. Our server was nice and brought our food out in a timely manner. We both enjoyed our meal and also took some home, as they gave good sized portions. read more
