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

On this trip I got the braised lamb shank, she got the fetteh, and we both got the Shai karak drinks. The drinks were incredible, flavorful and rich with a hint of spice.

The atmosphere was beautiful, with traditional tapestries and love plants scattered around. Would come again and already planning on it.

The restaurant is situated in a little square, yet its plain facade hides the delicious food that awaits you inside. There is plenty of seating around the room, with a sizable section in the center that is ideal for gatherings of friends and family. Honestly, the casual, unassuming ambiance and modest decor may make you pause at first. I implore you, nevertheless, to not judge a book by its cover. Take a seat, put your order, and get ready to enjoy a filling dinner. Halal meat is a key element of the menu, which is a big plus for people who value this dietary choice. My family selected the Chicken Kabsa, but I went with the Chicken Mandi. The fact that both dishes were served hot and fresh was evidence of their quality. It takes a little while to prepare the cuisine, but the wait is definitely worth it. Be patient. While the Chicken Kabsa had the ideal balance of spices and soft chicken, the Chicken Mandi was juicy and flavorful. I added the given sauce and hot sauce to take the dish to the next level, adding an amazing depth of spice and flavor. We couldn't help but sample the Basbosa dessert after our main course. This dessert was the ideal way to cap off our meals, giving it a traditional Yemeni sweetness that left us feeling utterly content From beginning to end, the meal experience is made pleasurable by the attentive and helpful staff.

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.

The dining room is on the smaller side and has a combination of booth/table seating. Our server was very helpful and happy to answer our questions on menu items. We all ordered wraps for lunch and were very happy with our selections. I ordered the shish kabob pita. The grilled beef was tender and juicy and paired well with the garlic sauce. The wrap did not come with a side but we added rice for an additional 6 dollars. The rice portion was large and able to be split among two people. We learned Dalia's is a family owned restaurant and were given insight on the work that goes into the selection. The special desert item of the day was a home made Dubai chocolate bar. Our server told us about the process of perfecting the bar and how the family worked for a few months to get create the perfect recipe. The chocolate bar was $15 dollars and was large enough to be split among the 3 of us. We were very happy with our visit and would love to return. The food was authentic and delicious.
