The reviews for Cedar restaurant suggest a mixed experience. While some customers praised the authentic Lebanese food, excellent flavors, and friendly service, others were disappointed by long wait times, rude service, and excessive batter on the calamari.

Was OpenTable Diner at Cedar Tree a mag?

Very good authentic Lebanese .Great selection of medditerian and middle eastern dishes with delicious spices .Really enjoyed the platter for two with houmous, falafel, bread,vine leaves, salad and smoked aubergine dip. Nice to try out a delightful white sauvigon, as you rarely see them in West London (superb by the way )service was excellent. All in all, a nice dining experience. Would definitely recommend it.

What OpenTable Diner dislikes about Cedar Tree:

Overall the food was good, main gripes were the batter on the calamari which was way too much and lost any sort of texture. The mains took longer to come out than I expected. View all feedback.

I recently stopped by this restaurant to pick up a takeout order. There was only one other person collecting their order at the same time. When that customer mentioned that the wrong sauce had been put on their wrap, the owner/manager quickly grabbed a cloth and wiped off the unwanted sauce before adding the correct one. This behavior likely violates several hygiene laws. I also observed the owner/manager preparing wraps by putting on salad with their bare hands. If this is happening in plain view of customers, I can only imagine what might be happening behind closed doors. I will not be returning.

Took a bit of time to be served our drinks but other than that the service was good and the owner of the restaurant was very friendly. Everything we ordered tasted good so we would come back.

This is a wonderful restaurant with consistently excellent service. The staff is top-notch, especially Jo who is incredibly kind and welcoming. She is always eager to assist customers.

My partner and I finally tried this restaurant after living in the area for almost a year, and it was worth the wait. We were amazed by the fresh and delicious food. We can't wait to go back and try more dishes from the menu. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole experience fantastic. We highly recommend this place.

This was our first time ordering from The Cedar Tree and I must say how impressed my girlfriend and I were. Great tasting food and good sized portions with lots of flavour. We will definitely be ordering again.

Had a fantastic takeaway here last weekend. The place is under new management and I’m looking forward to having a restaurant meal here in the near future. Emil was great he served me shish and donor kebabs and they were amazing. The place is my favourite in the area and it’s improved. I look forward to the restaurant opening. Superb

If you want good quality this is not the place. Ordered a halloumi wrap and chicken wrap with a side of fries. Delivery was prompt however the wraps are not made with fresh bread and there was just the smallest amount of lettuce in both wraps. Very disappointing, would not be ordering again.

Disappointed with the flat breads, warmed up from pre packages not freshly made No rice given with my order of mixed grill and lamb. Luckily had ordered extra rice. So many onions in my roll !! No red cabbage. Don’t think I will order again from here. The place across the road is much better. Disappointed

Unexpected outing for dinner with 3 generations. All tastes were catered for and everyone left full and happy. I was happy with the bill.

Food was average and service was very good, though restaurant was virtually empty, with 2 other guests. Starter was nice and main was good. I had the spinash pastry and cheese bread which was actually very nice.

I went to this restaurant with my husband and his friends. It was a nice looking restaurant there is a kebab type shop joined to the restaurant, so i think they do take away/fast food too. The food was good, i preferred the starters to the mains. I am vegetarian and there were a good number of options for me. The wrap I ordered did come wrapped in paper, which made it look more like a take away than restaurant dish. Overall it was a nice place staff were really nice too. I did think the bill was a bit steep for what we got.

Overall, the food was good, main handles were the dough on the Calamari, which was much too much and lost any kind of texture. The net lasted longer than I expected.

Starters were great, both my wife and I enjoyed these. The mains, however, took an age to arrive and were ok not proportionate to the time they took to arrive. The service was ok, apart from the unwelcoming and perhaps slightly rude person who served us. We asked him to take a picture with my phone (it was my wife's birthday, which I'd mentioned), he told us he was too busy and would try later. Though it might have been valid reason, his way of conveying it was a little direct.

The Vine Leaves...wow! The rest is great too, and consistent. Due be wary booking via OpenTable as they don't check that often(2 times out of 2 they didn't know about my reservation, both booked via OpenTable).
