Cedars Mediterranean Kitchen: User Reviews

I know others like this restaurant, but I had the worst experience there with the service! A friend and I went last night and waited for over an hour for food that when it finally arrived looked so unappealing I wouldn't have fed it to my dog. Our waitress was very inattentive and did not help the situation. Despite our inexplicably extensive wait, I had to raise my hand as if I were in the third grade just to get her to come over and refill my water. She brought me a refill, but did not bring my friend one even though she clearly needed one also. There were very few people in the restaurant at the time, so the long wait was incomprehensible and unjustifiable.

First, we were told the wait was because the potatoes were not done, but she didn't inform us of this until after we had already been waiting 45 minutes. When she brought out my food after ANOTHER ten minutes she brought me the wrong order, however there were potatoes on the plate. When she brought me the correct order, I still had rice as a substitute, which complimented two very small, dry, and shriveled lamb shish kebobs. My friend's meal looked equally disgusting and thrown together.

Long story short, we paid for the soup and smoothie we had as appetizers and left ravenous, as we wasted over an hour of our lives for food that was unfit for human consumption. Save yourself the trouble and head up north for real Mediterranean food and service!!!

We ate here with some friends recently. It is avery nice family run restaurant with wonderful food. I would definitely eat here again and recommend it to others. You can get a bottle of wine from a liquor store in the same strip mall. This is a very popular restaurant on a Saturday night, allow time to find parking on the weekend though.

The vegetarian dishes here are excellent. However, I think the meat dishes leave a little to be desired. I've given up on trying the lamb and chicken and stick to the very good baba ganouj, Jeruselum salad, and other veggie appetizers and then the traditional vegetarian entrees.

The atmosphere is a step up from the usual HP arena, which is refreshing.

The food is great and considering it's located in the middle of a strip mall - the atmosphere is surprisingly cozy; however it can be crowed if the restaurant is full.
The service could be improved. We sat down and ordered appetizers and our main course and everything came out at once. It was a little annoying.

My Wife & I went out to eat somewhere in the HP and were pleasently surprised at this nice little find in a strip mall. Good food and service at a great price. This is a fancy place if you are a college student and could be a fancy place if they just did a little more on the atmosphere. Cedar, dim the lights a little, repaint the floor, fix the tables without using matchbooks & use different plates & glasses. The food presentaion was nice, but the plates made me feel like I was at a 24 hour dinner.

There are things about this restaurant I love - like the lentil soup. However it doesn't outweigh the consistantly unattentive service. No matter the server, it's incrediably hard to get your drinks refilled, your order taken in a timely fashion, or even your bill. It's the culture of the restaurant.

Food is just okay. My meat dish was too salty and didn't taste fresh or all that good.

Awesome food at an awesome price! I recently ate at Cedars with my husband and another couple, and we gorged ourselves on the family style dinner... and then took the rest home! The lamb dishes and vegetarian dishes are wonderful!
