The mix grilled platter definitely not worth $30.00. Served with cold rice and veggies.
Michael G.

We started with a four item cold appetizer platter. Very good. The fresh hit pita bread had great flavor and was a good vessel for the spreads on the appetizer platter. We ordered the chicken liver. A little heavy on the lemon flavor and created w little iron kind of taste. Ordered the lamb chops. A little crispy around the edges. We also ordered the mix grill. Veggies and rice were cold. Definitely not work the money. Especially when other restaurants in the area serve a plentiful platter. Service was ok. The decor is fitting for a Mediterranean style restaurant. See photo of the mix grill platter below.

Variety Platter
Denise A.

The speciality cocktails were good and the food was above average. I ordered the variety platter and it was enough for 2 people. The hummus didn't have a lot of flavor but I really enjoyed the tabbouleh, fatayer and falafel. They have lots of vegan and vegetarian options which is amazing so I'll be back to try a few other dishes.

Fatayer
Yarn Y.

Was craving some middle eastern food and decided to Uber Eats from cedar's to my hotel . I ordered two things - 1) arrayes which were good , the beef tasted great and it had just the right seasoning (4/5) and the fatayer which were also yummy with fresh fillings (3.9/5) . I did ask for utensils which unfortunately I did not get . All together it was pretty good

Lamb chops and sautéed broccoli and onions
Alaina S.

This may be the best little hidden restaurant on Restaurant Row! I was welcomed warmly when I entered despite the near full dining room. I chose the Magical Dining menu and for my appetizer I opted for the safiha, little Lebanese meat pies full of spices- super yummy. For my main I chose the lamb chops which came with veggies (I asked for them to hold the carrots) and white rice. These were by far the most flavorful veggies I've ever had- the lamb chops were tasty but the veggies were the star for sure! I chose the baklava for my dessert and it wasn't as sweet as other ones I've had from Turkish restaurants. Originally my rice didn't come out with my dish but I simply asked the manager and he brought it right over.

The dishes were very good. We had an early dinner and everyone enjoyed themselves. We made reservations however we were seated very quickly and got there before most of the dinner rush which was nice. I do believe we missed some entertainment tho which would have made the visit even better. Cheers.

Safiha

The appetizers were okay but the entree and dessert was absolutely amazing and full of flavor . Went on a rainy day did not have to wait long for a table or for the food . The servers were very nice and welcoming . The ambiance was good .

Kibeh naye
Noel J.

This is literally one of my favorites to eat at for some authentic Lebanese food. I do drive an hour and a half one way to eat here. When you walk in it's definitely got the Mediterranean vibe and look. We were sat immediately and greeted with a smile. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We chose outdoor this time. Our server was a female and I didn't get her name but she was amazing. For our appetizers we got kibeh naye I might of butched that spelling lol. Anyways it's raw meat, lamb I believe, ground up super fine and like a paste with the MOST AMAZING spices. You would never know it was raw unless someone told you, and I paired this with tabouleh it's like a Lebanese salad made with tomatoes parsley and onion and of course some more yummy spices. All of it was just superb as always. As our main dish we got the mixed grills which is beef lamb and chicken served with rice and mixed vegetables. And it was to die for!! Meat was so tender and flavorful. And to finish we had some cheese dessert that is fried topped with a simple syrup. It was good as well. Over all I just love this place and all their food. Oh I also forgot to mention all their pita bread is fresh made to order. It's a must go I promise you won't be disappointed

Smoked eggplant and met pies
Hoang T.

This is my second time and and food is so good every time. The smoked eggplant is amazing. I even ordered second order to go for later. The grilled shrimp is also my fav thing as well. The service is also very good. They are nice and prompt. I don't live in the area but when I'm in town, I'll be back.

I realized it has been ten years since I've left a review of Cedar's on Yelp! Blissfully, nothing has changed. It's still the best Middle Eastern food in Orlando. In fact, I've traveled the world and have yet to find better. The hummus and tabbouleh and baba ganoush can't be beat. The falafel is never greasy, and the pitas are baked fresh and replenished multiple times during your meal. Service is always friendly, and you can tell they are really happy for your business. Perfection.

Lentil Soup aromatic and flavorful
Tere F.

This has been a favorite of ours for a long time yet I have not been since prior to COVID! If I want some good Mediterranean food this was the only place I would go! It is cheap no but it is worth every dime for the flavorful Lebanese food it's authentic! The service is as you would expect they are attentive but also leave you to enjoy your good and take your time the Mediterranean way savor good food and good company take your time and eat! The ambiance is very lively yet relaxed Monday night and the place was pretty full not the usual for most restaurants. Hubby and I paid $116 not overly expensive for what we ate plus 2 beer and a glass of wine. This is a five star experience we moved away from the rat race of Orlando to north west Florida our first visit to see our grown kids and we had to come here!

See all

Does Cedar's offer manaeesh?

Is it halal?

The meat is halal but they do serve alcohol and smoke hookah outside if that's any concern.

FIRST OFF. HUNTER. Second, HUNTER. And last, HUNTER DAMN IT…read more If you are looking for a new BEST hookah spot, you need to tap into One Lounge. It is such a relaxing environment, think of this like a high end cocktail bar but for hookahs. Almost any flavor you could imagine, they have. I thought I understood the world of hookah until I came here. I left with a Masters in Hookology and I am hooked - no pun intended. The experience and service you receive here is second to none; have you ever been to a really nice restaurant where they know how to pair a nice wine to your dinner? Well they know how to pair a nice hookah with your hookah. Have you ever done hookah on hookah? I have, and it is an enlightening experience. I have found a new home to experiment with all the different flavors. Also, moving on to the food, the Plov, the napoleon cake, the Pepperoni Pizza, and the Khachipouri are things I have tried and have been blown away by. It's almost like the first time you use a bidet, mind blowing. And again, I'll bring up Hunter again, he makes you really love enjoying a hookah. Come with an open mind if you don't know what to get and trust in Hunter.

Such a cute little hookah bar with a kosher menu! Unfortunately we arrived close to closing hours…read moreso I wasn't able to experience the lounge in its prime. From what I did see and experience, the lounge was cozy, well decorated for Christmas and very clean! There is indoor and outdoor seating. I enjoyed a latte on my visit but it was a short visit as they were closing. My friend did order a hot appetizer with chargrilled Spanish octopus which he enjoyed.
