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

The only thing I disliked was the coffee, my husband described it as follows; "Tastes like burnt moth balls that have been sitting in a closet" do what you will with that description. While all the dishes we ordered were very good my favorites were the potatoes (tender, warm, properly cooked, & paired delightfully well with the beet puree and lamb), and cake (light, decadent, & the perfect end to our meal). The menus and social media of this restaurant are not up to date. The pictured menu I have posted is from my dinner 01/16/2025.

So Friday night dinner was at Sinbad's. We love it there. It is rather small and it was a Friday…read morenight so it was getting very busy when we got there around 5:30 I think? We were immediately seated at the bench seating against the wall to the right when you walk in. We both would've preferred one of the booths but they were all full. That is the one thing about Sinbad's again it's not a big restaurant and there is no privacy. The food and service do make up for it. And then our waitress came to the table and took our drink & appetizer orders. Then she came back a few minutes later with our waters and my glass of Pinot Grigio & lentil soup which is delicious he got it but he shared it with me. I ordered the Cabbage rolls ( Malouf) and they were delicious it also came with a Greek salad that was also good. He got the vegetarian plate which I liked too and we shared our meals with each other. The waitress was very nice and happy the food was great. We will be back another time.

I ordered online to pick up, and it was ready when I got there. The spanokopita is very good. That is what I had when I was here before, and it is still great. We also had the baba ghanoush, which was also good. But the pita it comes with is hallow and hard. Nothing like having great baba ghanoush and nothing good to eat it on. We had also gotten the pita chips, and they were seasoned well and ok, but so, so hard! Like hard to bite them hard! I would absolutely get the spanokopita again. If they had a great pita, I'd do the baba ghanoush again, or try the hummus, etc. Tasteless, stale pita just isn't doing it for me.

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.
