Authentic, flavorful, quick service and great prices. Very casual and laid back setting makes for an even more authentic experience! The portion sizes are very large! Hummus, baba ghanouj, and combo platter were excellent. The fattoush wasn't my favorite but it was ok. read more

Eid al-Fitr 06/15/18 - First time ever going to this Restaurant! One Thing I'm going to point out, is no place is perfect and if you have an issue with a Waiter or Waitress. Point it out to the manager, but still leave a Tip. Even if it's a $1, it just may have them reflect on why they got the $1 instead of more. Also, we need to keep in mind, those that get upset, the "Gratuity" will be added for larger Groups. This is almost at all Restaurants... So, my experience: very Clean Place! Priscilla was a pleasure to deal with, it was getting busy and it toke about 5 minutes for her to get to us, after we sat down and that's okay. Because we were still deciding on what we wanted to eat. After ordering our food "We received Lintel Soap, Pita Bread and I think Pickled Turnips " The Prices are on point! With how much food you get! AND SO FRESH! So well worth a 10-15 minute wait! There was three in our group and two of the people got their food and by no fault of Priscilla, my food was prepared wrong and possibly given to customer at the Drive Thru. The Drive Thru was very busy, Priscilla apologized and I just waited patiently, because mistakes happen. Once I got my 4 Lamb Chips "Seasond perfectly" , Rice and House Salad and the Fatoooush Salad is delicious!... Everything was Fresh and Hot...I will be returning! read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Delicious!!! - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

Classic diner vibes. Service is always great and chicken kebabs are the best!! Portions are huge.

The food is great, the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Nothing more needs to be said, highly recommend!!

Everything I've had there so far has been wonderful but what stands off the most is there split pea soup? I don't know what they do but I'll drive there just for a bowl I live about 12 miles away.

I have been eating at Cedarland from the beginning. I always had a great experience, service and the food was always on point. I am visiting Detroit for a wedding and couldn't wait to go to my favorite restaurant. Today I visited and did not have a good experience. The service was terrible. I did not get all of my food items that came with my platter or the substitutions I requested. The hummus tasted like it came out of the can. The food was ok. My server never check to see if we were ok or needed anything until we were finished dining. When I received the check she added 18% to my bill. I do not mind tipping at least 20% for great service. However, in this case I would have left 15% even for bad service. I will not be dining there again. read more

DELICIOUS! By far the best middle eastern food in the area. My wife and I always share an dinner because they give you so much food. For all entrees, you get a cup of lentil soup, which is amazing. Then you get to select what type of salad, and to be honest, we have never order anything but the fattoush salad because it is so good. The entree I usually get is the chicken Shawarma, which the chicken is cooked perfectly and comes with a side of rice. The service is somewhat lacking, but the food more than makes up for it, and that is the reason I gave it 5 stars. read more

The restaurant is not fancy but the food is fresh and delicious we been eating here for 22years and never disappointed . You must try it !

Great food I had the boneless chicken it's really juicy and tasty . best in Dearborn . Never had a bad meal here . The prices are ridiculously affordable . each plate feeds 2 . The place is a gem . Finally I want to give a shout-out to the waitress Chelsea .She was polite , attentive and quick . The bus boy is also very quick and clean . Do not pass on this place if you were in Dearborn . read more

I come here once a year since I live out of state and have been coming here for 13 years. Service is always okay not the best but the food makes you forget all that. They really needed to have another waitress since the one was running back and forth she kept forgetting to check on tables and was overwhelmed.Lentil soup was great. We ordered the shish kabobs with fries and hummus. Hummus was great and most of the kabobs were good.For the first time we got raw chicken all three times we sent it back to the kitchen. No one came and apologized or tried to make it better by the time we got the chicken cooked we were done with our meal. Really disappointed I love this place but not sure if I want to come back. read more

There's not a place in this country that cooks Mediterranean food like this. After eating here you will never be satisfied with anyone else's Mediterranean cuisine. Hands down the best food in the country. Everything on the menu is phenomenal. I highly recommend read more

I have been here a couple times and had great food on each visit. The kafta was perfect, the hummus was great, and the lentil soup was mind blowing. I hate most of it and was even dipping my other food into it, and into the hummus. The staff was friendly and attentive and gave good service. When I asked about certain dishes (I'm not the authority on middle eastern food) then happily answered or explained without making me feel like an outsider. The only issue that keeps this from being a 5 star is that the place has a slightly grungy feel. The decor is old and dated and looks it. And the laminated menus could stand to be replaced or at least given a good wipe-down on a regular basis. Would I go back? Absolutely. read more

It's just wasn't anything spectacular. I had a chicken shawarma and I can say I've had better.

This place reminds me of a middle eastern Coney Island. It definitely has a diner type feel. Our server was so sweet and accommodating. The complimentary lentil soup was so delicious along with the warm bread and pickled turnips. I ordered hummous and a fattoush salad. The small salad was plenty with all of the complimentary items. The hummous was perfect. Very reasonable prices too. read more

Great place for Arabic food . If you're in Dearborn you should def try it . I recommend the marinated grilled chicken .

Great place to eat for middle eastern! Trust me! The service isn't going to be perfect if you're picky. The food is delicious! Order the lentil soup, fattoush salad(without chicken), and the shish platter! It's enough to share with 3 people. The garlic spread is great with the FREE bread! read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Hummus - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

The best thing here was the lentil soup that was for free. It should have been telling when we were handed sticky laminated menus that felt nasty as could be. The lentil soup was pretty tasty, but my veggie platter I ordered was very disappointing. The Baba Ghanouj was okay, but the Majedra was like eating chopped up cardboard, unbelievably dry. The Falafel was also very dry, though there was a hint of moisture in the inside, it was far over shadowed by the hard and dry exterior. I doubt I will be back to this place, it paled in comparison to Al Ajami or La Pita. Sadly I came here with 10 other people and everyone else had many complaints about their food as well, we have taken this place off of our list for future visits. read more

Terrible service. Very rude and sloppy wait staff. Older waitress we had was very selective on who she took care of and we definitely weren't one of her selected. Don't know or care what her problem was but this was the first and last time wasting my money here. Had a long hair in my salad and would've said something if I thought they actually would've cared but I'm sure thats a common occurrence at a place like this. If you want a restaurant worth dining in, go across the street to Al Chabab. Much friendlier staff with phenomenal food! read more

Met all expectations! Always Great food for a vegetarian dinner. Been eating here since I was a child in the 90s!

Great family run restaurant with good food, huge portions, and very fair pricing. Some food is great, some is ok Hummus and Tabouleh, awesome Shish Kebob was a little dried out, but the falafel was amazing, and I generally dont like it Service seemed distracted Think of this as a diner more than fine dining. As a diner it is great read more

Have been going to this place for years now. So far have tried everything on their menu with no disappointments. This place has delicious middle eastern food that is so cost friendly that you could eat here everyday and not break your bank. They give you generous amount of food. So be prepared to take home left overs. Sometimes the chef does go heavy on salt in salad dressings. It's like going to a diner but for middle eastern food. It does get very busy here during Ramadan. The service is always good. Its the kind of place where the wait staff remembers you. read more

We came in and didn't realize they were preparing to close, but they let us in and served us. The waitress was so welcoming, we apologized for coming in so late. The food was amazing, got the two chicken kabob house plate and shared a large hummus plate. Honestly hands down the best hummus i've ever eaten and paired with amazing pita. The rice is perfect as well and very aromatic, it's topped with sliced almonds! If i'm back in the area, I'm definitely coming back! read more

Randomly stopped for food and ended up having funny and lovely conversations with the owner and the super-woman working the register/calls/orders. They send me home with SO MUCH FOOD! It was inexpensive for the quantity (under $20) and it's also really tasty! My stuffed face is one big smile! Definitely recommend, definitely encourage conversation while in there. read more

Normally I only eat Middle Eastern Food in Chicago. But Happen to be out of town, and thought to try this place, as I saw 4 stars. I'm afraid to say, that it is possible these posts may not be what you think they are. For 1 thing. The place is in serious decline, and the owner appears to haven't invested a dime in its upkeep. Sagging ceiling. Bathroom was horrible. Waitress on here phone in the stall. Men's room was so bad, we went to another place to use it instead. But the food. On a 1-10, it is probably a 4. The Tabbouleh salad was good. I give them that. The kaboobs were ok. Nothing new there. The Kibeh tasted like it fell in the sink. I had a soap water taste. Was horrible. The Grape Leaves were ok too. But to add up the bathroom, the 1960's look, the bad smells in the air, bad tasting food, and the owners old lady assistant scratching her crouch in back of the register and adjusting her braw. Just made for one of the worse places I have been. this reminded me of the 70's with the old guy behind the diner, with a beard, unshaven, and smelly. Smelly adds that extra flavor you might want. I won't be coming back here for sure. Waitress was nice, other than complaining how stupid the table cleaner was. The owner seems to be more of a Yes or No man. No inter communications with customers. That's sad nowadays. Just pay up kinda guy. I'll try Al_Ameer next maybe. Though it didn't look all the different from the window. Like what is going on in Michigan? Videos online and pictures seem to be from 20 years ago. These places need serious inspections, as I saw many violations just from a food standard. Don't go to these places. In fact the best places I saw are in the suburban Chicago land area, or Anahiem Cali. You pick. read more

Of all the great Middle Eastern restaurants in southeast Michigan, this is the best one. It's in the middle of the Arab stores in east Dearborn. The food is very tasty. The staff is helpful. And, on top of everything, I see a lot of Arab-American patrons there so I have some assurance that the food is not just for gringos. Definitely check it out and go to Shatila down the street for dessert afterwards. read more

Probably closer to 3.5, but I'll round up because I enjoyed the experience. Came here with some friends after work the other day. I love being back in the Dearborn area because finding good Middle Eastern food is not so much of a challenge. AMBIANCE- I wasn't sure what to make of this place at first. It's got a drive thru attached to it, but this place came on a recommendation. When you walk in, it looks like it was some other type of restaurant at first, (I;m guessing some sort of diner). The back walls have two huge murals- one of people skiing and one of a village landscape. Don't really get it, but I guess that is what makes it unique. SERVICE- I'm pretty sure there was only one server that was working on the night that we were there. Didn't matter, she zoomed from one table to the next and did it all with a smile on her face. MENU- Sandwiches, entrees, appetizers. Having been back in the Dearborn area for a while, I feel that most of the menus are pretty similar. If you really need to know what they got on the menu, check out the website. My friend ended up ordering the falafel, my other friend a shwarma, and i got the 1/2 chicken, 1/2 shwarma entree. FOOD- my friends and started out with the 1/2 babba ghanouje (yeah I know I killed the spelling) and hummus. Both were excellent. Then they brought out some lentil soup. So simple but SOOOOOO good. Really dug it. With my entree I got a fattoush salad which was HUGE and ROCKIN. While we had our pre-dinner food, my friends also ordered smoothies. Both the mango, and the mango/strawberry/banana were very tasty. Finally they brought out the rest of our food. I tried my friends falafel which was ok, and my shwarma and chicken were good. It was definitely a "healthy" portion of both chicken and shwarma, and that garlic sauce is just the whip. OVERALL- like many other places I have been in the area, very good. Man I love being back in the area. Celebrity Rating- Sarah Shahi read more

The staff has always been very kind to me, my family, & my friends. The food is really good for the price. They also have a drive thru. Which makes life a lot easier. read more

No, no, no and no. I will not eat Middle Eastern food here. I will not eat it on a date or a plate. I will not eat here if it was free. Customer service was served with bad food you see. I went to Cedarland with a friend and was disappointed from the start:. Have not been to a place that serves complimentary pita bread without garlic sauce or hummus. Are financial times that difficult? Where do I start? I order the fried kibbe that was served cold but looked processed, burnt and distressed. See photo. I took one bite and said, nope. I called the waitress over l, handed her my plate and said, "here you go, please take this off my friend's bill." She stated that I would have to ask the manager. Why would I need to ask your manager to remove an item that I refuse to eat? Granted she did offer to remake or pick a different item. No thanks. I will not allow you to disappoint my taste buds further. Checkout time: Manager is hesitant and offers again to remake or try something different. I was frank and said, no thanks. Just remove items from bill. He asked why. Unflavored and dry. Cold, like it had been sitting out for quite some time. bleeeeech. I'll continue to patronize House of Falaffel in Farmington. read more

Cedarland Restaurant - Dry, processed, over cooked, flavorless fried kibbe. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Dearborn, Michigan

After going to Greenfield Village we're stopping in at our favorite Middle Eastern joint. The lines are always long for the drive-through but it's well worth the wait. It's always fun to watch the cooks come out the back door and check on what order you're picking up. The food is fresh and delicious. My husband gets the hummus with lamb and I get the chicken shawarma. We've been coming here for years and still can't figure out how they get the hummus so smooth. They say it's an old family secret. We're never able to make it home, we always end up pulling over to eat. We always enjoy our drive through Dearborn and look forward to our trip here. read more

By far one of the best halal Lebanese restaurants in the Dearborn area. They're chicken and beef ghallaba over hummos are my favorite dishes. However it upsets me that they're service is very poor. We went during Ramadan and waited an hour before the waitress realized she forgot us and proceeded to be rude. Also the restaurant is not clean. read more

My wife and I walked in with our young infant.. we were greeted by an older aged lady working at the door. She was wearing her mask below her chin. After requesting to wear it properly, she became rude and angry. We decided to leave and go elsewhere. These mandatory guidelines and precautions are necessary to keep the customers and community safe. I hope management speaks to their employees and understand the importance of proper face mask use during pandemic. read more

Cedarland forever!!! This place never disappoints. I have soo many good memories from this establishment--feeding large groups of artists with dietary restrictions to ordering to go for a ford wyoming double feature. When they have rotisserie on holidays--delicious. Seriously, the best take out in town. read more

The customer service as gone to hell, since the owner died. They start arguments with customers. They way of rectifying a situation it to go off on they're clients and make up stories and call the police on them. I was in the drive through and ordered a rotisserie chicken. It was almost $15.00. When I got home, the chicken was the size of a Cornish hen. So, I called the manager said, can you wait an hour". I said no, I have an event. He said, I'll give you a refund. So, I got to the drive through. Gave it to the young lady, she was surprised and asked, what happened? I said, it's to small for a chicken, it looks like a Cornish hen. The manager, told her it was over cooked...lying! I said, no it's just too small. He then proceeded to say, I buy the chickens myself, and they're 3.5 lbs. I said, okay, they're just too small for $15.00. He got so mad, started yelling, saying I'm not giving you anything. I told him you're giving me my money back, you have my chicken and the money. He said, I'm not giving you shit, fuck you, you're getting nothing. They proctor call the police, he yelled and told 911, she has a weapon. now, I'm a black woman, what do you think that was going to do? Well, I called as well. The 911 operator asked me several times if I had a weapon I told her no so many times, she said. Why would he say that.? I told her, you tell me. But, I have a better question. Why would I stay here in the drive through line, waiting for the police if I did? The cops came, the manager was so I rate, the officers told him to be quiet. He kept telling lies changing the story. Long story short, they believed me, got my refund and told me. If it didn't go back on my card to call them back. The one officer said, I Quote " customer service isn't the same anymore, it used to be, the customer is always right. Have a better day ma'am. Thanks officer, I won't ever patronize Cedarland Restaurant ever again! Al' Meers will get my business. The food is better anyway!!! read more
