The staff are SO welcoming and give you the feeling as though they are literally welcoming you into their home for a meal. Personally I am not the best when it comes to pronouncing many of the menu entrees/offerings, yet no worries as they set you at complete ease while offering you a menu with pictures & detailed explanation for every entree & menu item. There is nothing-and I mean literally nothing I have order that hasn't been pure perfection. Thank you Cedar's family for providing Rochester with the very best authentic mouthwatering menu available

Wow, so delicious with the spices, the tangy cheese, the creamy egg, and the dough which was tender and flaky. Eggplant 'steak', also a banger. So many different flavors and textures presented in one delicious dish. And the lamb shank. Holy crap, one of the best meals I've had, period. The meat itself is meltingly tender and perfectly seasoned. All of the other stuff on the plate, the dill rice, the red stuff, crispy chickpeas, fava beans, some green sauce and parsely, it might sound like too much but it works so perfectly. Each bite containing a whole odyssey of textures and intense flavors. We got the signature dessert, a nest of phyllo with cardamom mousse, saffron syrup, fresh raspberries and more I'm forgetting. An absolute show stopper, and perfect with a turkish coffee. Even the turkish delight that came with the coffee was delicious. Service was helpful, prompt, and abundantly kind. This might be the best fine dining ROC has to offer.

I chose this restaurant to celebrate my birthday, and it exceeded every expectation. From the…read moremoment we arrived, the staff made us feel genuinely welcome. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and accommodating, and their kindness really stood out throughout the evening. The food was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor, and you could tell a lot of thought and care went into each plate. I tasted the Khachapuri flat bread, Wild Mushrooms, Lamb Lollipops, Kurobuta Pork Chop and the Braised Lamb Shank. Also pictured, the Duck Risotto and the Tomahawk steak. Between the exceptional service, delicious food, and inviting atmosphere, this was a truly memorable dining experience. I would absolutely recommend it for a special occasion or simply a great meal, and I'll definitely be back.

So we both ordered and he got the shrimp/chicken/beef Kebobs and I got the Mediterranean golden rice with broccoli m/mushrooms/onion and Greek salad plus homemade hummus which was delicious. The owner took our order and then waiter took care of us for the entirety of the meal. It was nice night out and the food was delicious. I highly recommend this establishment.

Go there to eat or take it home -- either way is great!

Employees left personal hookahs on tables, which caused confusion -- we thought one belonged to our group, and they tried to charge us over $40 for it. That's misleading and feels like a setup. First-time customers automatically lose when there's a "gray area." Drinks were overpriced -- a shot of Remy was $17 and turned into $20 just because it became a mixed drink. The "religious" excuse for not making drinks, while still allowing someone else to do it, just to make money, shows no moral consistency. We planned to stay 20 minutes but left disappointed. This place cares more about image than honesty. Better hookah lounges in Rochester treat people with respect -- this one's not worth it.
