I seldom come to this place as its out of my way but have popped in on occasion when my co-workers have a hankering for Lebanese. I mean, its ok, nothing to write home about. In the past I've had the falafel plate, the chicken shawarma wrap and the falafel wrap and all were just ok. They have pickled turnips here which is great but bc they are the mass produced ones so they are extremely salty. Prices are on par with what other Lebanese quick eats go but they offer sm, med and lg sizes which is great if you are not a big eater, having said that I found the workers there sloppily wrap the sandwiches so you will get one side full of veg and another of meat so the bite ratio is off. On the plus side, they are super quick, and you will have your order done in under 5 minutes even with a line up. There were 2 Lebanese guys working when we went in, one I assume was the owner as he was directing the non-Lebanese staff, everyone else seemed to enjoy being there so that was nice to see. The portions were pretty generous which is great for the big eater and they offer a lot of deli and sides which was interesting: salads, samosas, pilafs, pastries and some sweet offerings. They also had a pre-made cooler of items that I assume are made to cook at home, didn't see any prices on them so I cannot comment on value but if you are a fan of the baked goods in the deli section, they were available to take home to cook. Price points are pretty decent and good sized portions and the dining/service area was clean so that warrants a 3.5 star rating...maybe we went in on an off day but the food was just ok and please clean the bathroom, there was urine on the toilet seat. read more

Good place with good food. The staffs are nice. Orders didn't take long at all to take and make. The mixed shawarma was amazing. There are lots of desserts to choose from, including a vast selection of baklavas. Definite repeat!!! read more

Cedars Deli - Mixed chicken and beef shawrma. - Delis Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

QUESTION: What's the size of a small dog or a young child's arm but is much more legal to consume? ANSWER: A donair from this place. Their donairs are massive. Their donair sauce is like angels weeping on your tongue. They are friendly, courteous and sometimes call you "boss". You can also put pickles in your donair and they won't even make fun of you for being whiter than a snowstorm. They're just happy you stopped by. Fresh food, big portions, reasonable prices, great ownership. If you're on Edmonton trail and your stomach is rumblin' for some shwarma, pull in and get happy. read more

Cedars Deli is the donair darling of Calgary. Whenever I crave for donairs, I'll always go to Cedars Deli even though there are closer restaurants nearby. Once you pick your meat filling, they'll stuff your pita with your liking of assorted veg and sauces a la Subway. Their beef donairs are a force to be reckoned with. A regular donair for $8 is large enough to stuff you silly. My usual order of small donair and 8 Oz salad is enough to satisfy my belly, but not induce food coma, and all for the low price of $9! Now, I bet you're thinking those prices for that much food is insane. However, the best part about Cedars is how well seasoned their meats are. Even if you load up your wrap with sauces (they have a variety!!!), the flavors from the meat still come through. This is impressive as I find the flavors of the meat often get lost in the veg and sauces at other restaurants. They're vegetarian friendly with amazing falafel and salads. They have so many to choose from: tabbouleh, Greek, chick pea, couscous etc. I find the 8oz salad ($2.99) is large enough and they don't skimp. They fill the container right to the top! Cedars Deli is deliiiiish and won't break the bank. Make sure you give it a try! read more

So, I want to share with you my observation that there are falafel balls that are big and mushy on the inside and falafel balls that are smaller and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. This place has the smaller, crispier falafels, which are delicious in a falafel sandwich brimming with pickled turnip, lettuce, tomatoes, hot peppers and the sauce of your choice. I usually get tahini and tzatziki along with a squirt of hot sauce. I like mine hot!!! You can choose a regular or large size sandwich. The regular is perfect, especially if you add some tabbouleh salad and for dessert some baklava. There's lots on the menu - beef donairs, chicken shawarmas, vine leaves, spinach phyllos - all those delicious things you're craving! read more

Just wanted to reiterate how much I love Cedars deli, and that's pretty much all. Yesterday I was in grabbing a couple of falafel wraps, and there were some obnoxious gentleman in front of me who obviously had never tried Mediterranean eats before. The staff were incredibly patient, explaining what was in everything and being total champs. While I was ordering my two falafel wraps, the gentleman making my delicious wraps suddenly demanded, "Who is the other one for?" In my head, this would proceed to turn into a Pulp Fiction moment.... "DESCRIBE WHAT MARCELLUS WALLACE...LOOKS LIKE!" *stuttering exchange involving guns occurs* "DOES...HE... LOOK... LIKE... A ....BITCH?!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCrDuGyZ6FA Of course, this isn't what actually happened. I told him it was for my mom, and they wrote MOM on the other falafel which was quite cute and helpful. I enjoy all of my experiences at Cedar's Deli. The falafel is amazing, the salads taste fresh, and they prioritize customer service. read more

Of all of the Donair and Schwarma places in town, I just love this one. They people are fast, efficient, and keep the food fresh and hot. I was simply amazed by how quickly they got me a fresh chicken schwarma ready for me, complete with an impressive amount of veggies and well seasoned meat. Pricing is actually much lower than most places in town I've been in ($7 for a full wrap sandwich??? Wow.), and the menu and meats are extensive and well covered. I pretty much do have to come back to try the rest of the wraps soon. Btw, there's not too much parking, so be ready to park on the street around lunch. Plenty of seating though inside and out, and it's just a pleasant vibe all around the second you walk in. Thanks people for an excellent lunch! read more

Just went today. I work in the NE and my coworkers rave about this place. I finally decided it was time to check it out. I loved it. I had one of the "plates" (the food was excellent but I don't think i'd have it again, i'd rather just have the pita wrap). The food was cheap (but not cheap quality). They were also very quick and efficient. I loved the outside patio, easy to grab a quick lunch. I'll be going back soon to do some exploring of their menu. read more

I'm officially addicted to their Baklava! They are from Heaven and I am very grateful. P.s. The blossoms are to die for read more

Cedars Deli - Amazing baklava blossoms! - Delis Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

I have been told you can't make a fair judgement of the best donair in the city until you try it here. Cedar's is a nice little eat in shop right on Edmonton trail in quiet Tuxedo. The exterior's rather large friendly sign invites you in. First, the sandwiches come in three sizes (small, regular, and jumbo) served on small and large pita wraps. The bigger you go, the more meat you get. I opted for the regular so as not to put pressure on my newly looser fitting pants. Ordering a classic beef donair, I loaded it with both the garlic and sweet sauce, and all the veggies. It was quite a heft sandwich. Flavour... Yum, yum, delicious! The meat was a gene our helping and had great flavour on its own, the veggies especially the pickled turnip, peppers, and cucumber were bursting with juicy flavour. Hints of sweet, sour, salty, and heat were in each bite. Still really hard to say, Jimmy's or Cedar's - you are definitely in for a treat. I would give Cedar's the slight edge when it comes to the veggies, price, and payment. And Jimmy's the slight edge on the meat and sauce. Both amazing donairs, and this will definitely be on the list of go tos. read more

I love this place and it is always my Go To when we are at Market Mall and need a bite. Have been to this location a few times..in fact tried my first ever Falafel here and loved it immediately!! I love the tabbouleh salad and more recently tried the chicken shwarma. Holy Huge Batman. Couldn't finish it even though it was delicious. And great prices. My meal (which I shared) consisted of tabbouleh salad, chicken schwarma & a couple pieces of baklava for like $12. The service is fabulous here...they are very friendly and helpful. Make sure you come hungry! read more

Great food and service. Best Donair I have had. The place was clean, decent space and some outdoor patio. Patio needed some shade or umbrellas and the location is a little out of the way but if you are in the area worth a stop. read more

Best donairs in the city. Very friendly staff. One of my favorite places in Calgary to eat. I dream about these donairs :) read more

Cedars Deli - My new weakness - Delis Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Went for a quick lunch upon Yelp's recommendation. Yet another restaurant worth the buzz, The place is Full during lunch hour, service line is very professional and fast. Their shawarma rap taste brilliant. Light, good texture, and delicious, and doesn't have that annoying strong garlic taste in their garlic sauce. Unfortunately I ordered to-go, so no pictures this time. read more

Bright, clean place in a residential area, on a busy main road. Has a few parking spots in front. The salad bar seemed fresh but the desserts is what caught my eye, so got the pistachio baklava and a triangle one that was a bit more sweeter, with honey but just right. Very fluffy and flaky. No amex here. they also offer catering too, with some nice menus. read more

Whether you order beef, chicken donair or falafel, rest assured that the portion is generous not to mention the fabulous taste. The price is very reasonable, just over $6 for beef & $7+ for chicken donairs compare to $10+ in other restaurants. Staff/owners are very friendly too. We get take out from here almost every week since my husband & I both love donairs. Will DEFINITELY RECOMMEND to anyone. read more

We live just down the street and have been getting are Shwarma and other delicious homemade food from Cedars for years. Awesome food, very clean environment and great, friendly staff. read more

Downgraded from 5-stars to 4-stars as the last few times I've ordered for company functions they were missing items, this time I requested plates and there were none. It's still a great place and good food though. read more

The Chicken Souvlaki Wrap is delicious, the Pita chips are phenomenal, complemented by the Tzatziki dip which is so good with chunks of cucumber. But you can have your choice of Sriracha Hummus which is also a great combo. This place is definitely a go to place any time you get a chance. Fresh, Lite, and amazing food. the employees are really nice as well. read more

Did a review recently but had to add a comment. Ordered lunch for 50 construction workers. Worked with Mohammad so we had exactly what they like to eat. I've been doing event planning for +20 years. I have rarely had so many people ask if they could take an extra plate home with them for later! Assorted donairs and pitas, fantastic extra dips, party mix of samosas, grape leaves, and spanakopita. Every plate was full as they went through the line and everyone was thrilled. Assortment of desserts were gone in seconds. I was really happy with the price, because I'm not feeding 50 big appetites or under $15 anywhere else! Thank you Mohammad and the rest of the team at Cedars Restaurant & Deli. Maureen read more

Very good Libanese Food!!.. It was just Delicious!.. I went there for lunch and I had the Beef Wrap and it was Great!!.. I can't wait to go back there and try other things of the menu!!.. In Addition, the service was Excellent!!.. I Definitely recommend this place 100%!!.. read more

We came to Cedars based on the reviews and type of food offered. It was delicious! The store front and washrooms were very clean. Staff were very friendly and efficient. We were at the back of a lengthy line (good sign) but it was very quick to get through. I definitely recommend this place. Lots of great menu choices. read more

Easily the best donair in Calgary! Great food, friendly guys.

Was seriously disappointed. After hearing and reading so many good things I finally got around to trying this place. Had a chicken shawarma pita. The chicken was dry and tasteless. Not very many veggies on the pita and not much sauce either. Maybe it was a one-off bad experience but I won't be returning. There are way better places in Calgary. read more

All steamer kept and prepared by non ethnic workers. The family has spread to thin to all 5 locations leaving the quality to go downhill. The premade out of store products still have that lebanese quality but the rest is a far cry from tlwhat cedars deli started out as on 8th ave serving the best beef shwarama. You wont find bewf shwarama anywhere at the edmonton location read more

I have been coming here for at least 14 years. Always impressed at the hygene and cleanliness. Last two times I was there I have noticed that , that is now thrown to the side. Not changing plastic gloves between making donairs and touching a bunch of other things all over the place. Today I saw the owner use the gloves to wipe the counter of stuff and then use same gloves to make the next order. Not cool!! read more

Came here during the week for lunch. Parking is very tight, not many spaces. It is located right off of Edmonton Trail. The decor is simple, not a ton of places to sit during the lunch hour. However, the line went by very quickly.I got a medium size shawarma. It was very tasty! The staff is also very friendly so I give the service two thumbs up! read more

Great food! So fresh! Great atmosphere! Amazing people- They are so polite and kind and friendly! We order big lunches for our work crew and get free baklava. Wicked place to go and just enjoy a peaceful donair. read more

Not the same quality chicken shawarmas as you would get from the Panorama location. The veggies looked tired, and the taste was slightly off. read more

We've been fans of Cedars for many years. At an open-house for 30 people, we purchased a mixture of beef donairs, chicken shawarmas and falafel pitas with an assorted tray and hummus, tzatziki and baba ghanoush. Everything including the bakalava dessert was a hit with our guests. The portions are large and the price is reasonable. No only is the food excellent, the owner and his team of attentive staff offer truly amazing customer service. Highly recommend Cedars! 10/10 every time. read more

This is by far my favourite place for shawarma and donair. The staff are always friendly and do an excellent job of making you feel welcome. The food is amazing as well. It's always fresh and you get a ton of value for your money. read more

Always fresh, consistent and probably the Best Schwarma in town. I love coming here and go at least once a week.

Have been eating at Cedars since they had their downtown locations and they make the tastiest shwarma and Lebanese food in town. That is well known, but what people reviewing here are forgetting to mention is that this family owned business makes THE BEST BAKLAVA this side of Beirut! I kid you not, and everybody that I have gotten to try it has agreed. Treat yourself. Stop by, have a meal and go for some baklava for later. You will be glad you did. Fresh, Fantastic food, great prices, friendly staff, and home made Baklava. They are the real deal and they cover it all. Eat up! read more

I've enjoyed eating at Cedar's Deli on Edm trail for several years. The food is excellent, always fresh and I especially appreciate the healthy, great variety of delicious vegan/vegetarian options. The falafel sandwiches and tabouli salads are the best I've had in the city. Servings are quite generous, prices are reasonable. The service is exceptional, always friendly, accommodating and personable, regardless of how busy it is. I can now add honesty to the long list of reasons why I love this place. I lost my Iphone recently, wasn't sure where, and thanks to the kindness of the people at Cedar's Deli, I received a call to say they had found it. Five out of five stars from this very happy customer! read more

Cedars really is as good as it gets. If you're looking for a quick, healthy bite after work or catering for the office, Cedars always has a fresh selection with a taste unlike anywhere else in the city. The owners are fantastic and their staff always gives 110% in their service. I have been eating at Cedars for years and I've recently started ordering for office lunches which has been a huge hit. Try everything they have at least once, you won't be disappointed! read more
