Cedars Restaurant in Hyde Park offers tasty and fresh food with large portions. Some customers found the service lacking in attentiveness. The diverse menu includes vegetarian options that pleased a group of out-of-town guests. Prices are reasonable, making it a neighborhood favorite. Ambiance is pleasant, but some found the food quality to be inconsistent. Overall, Cedars is a recommended spot for flavorful and filling meals, with friendly service. Customers note the value and unique flavors offered by this popular dining spot.

The negative were that we had to wait 10 minutes until 1 of the ducks and the lambs were half fat.

I like the new menu, but wished some of the originals were still there. I loved the laughs he used to be much better than the new version. I love the new suppe and the accompanying arugala and sosse with falafal. the sweet were overcooked, that was very dissappointing, although undoubtedly the taste was there. it was perhaps the day, and they were always consistent, I hope that was just a free one.

The food here is amazing. It is a limited menu but I love the shawarma wrap and the entree. My husband loves the swag tacos. Anytime we are in the area we go there.

I finally chose the Chicken Shawarma Platter, which came with a generous serving of rice, a medley of cauliflower, green peppers, and onions, as well as a flour tortilla. The shawarma was packed with flavor and topped with a tangy sauce, making it a satisfying meal. To start, I had the Sudki Hummus, which was creamy and topped with pine nuts that added a delightful textural contrast—definitely a highlight of the meal. My friends ordered the falafel wrap, which was delicious and complemented by a spicy sauce that enhanced the flavors. They also tried the Arab Swag Tacos, a fantastic blend of flavors served generously with rice and a spicy sauce. As if the delicious food and excellent service weren't enough, we wrapped up our evening with a comedy fundraiser. The talent on stage was impressive, and I’m already looking forward to next month's show. I will definitely be trying the lamb barbacoa tacos next time!
