Went for a date night in November and been thinking about it ever since! ❤️ It's an especially nice option on a Sunday night, when most of the businesses on this stretch of Magnolia are already closed.
We ate on the back patio, a relaxed, lovely area to share a meal. With the comfortable seating, it feels like chilling at a friend's or relative's backyard. There's even a mounted TV! The portions were enough that we could eat it all there without feeling too heavy or too much.
The owners (who on this night were also our servers) are very generous with recommendations. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing service and really tasty food. Their tea was something special, a refreshing mix of sea buckthorn, mint, and other flavors you don’t usually find. Definitely coming back for more!

Went to Cela Cafe last night for the first time very since my husband and I love Mediterranean food and are also trying to eat a bit more healthy.
This place was absolutely phenomenal. Let’s start with the service shall we. The two people working were incredibly helpful at helping us navigate the menu as well as providing some great suggestions. This is counter service but since we ate there on their patio they brought our food and even set real silverware and our plates down for us.
Next let’s talk about the ambiance. The interior is small but where this place shines is their back door patio. It’s super cute, warm, and very inviting. The person working even turned a heater on for us.
Lastly, the food. Omg delicious I had the chicken shawarma plate (pictured) and my husband had the beef shawarma plate. Both were amazing and very delicious.
All in all, it was great experience and we will absolutely return.

Really friendly staff and delicious, fresh food with huge portions! I got a fattoush salad and the dressing was made out of freshly chopped herbs and the pita chips were still hot from being fried on the spot, which really elevated the dish! My husband got a falafel wrap with fries on the side and it was great as well. The seating area in the patio is really cute and cozy too, and highly recommended.

Review edit: I took off a star because I came for lunch on Saturday May 10th and the guy making the food ripped me off. He made tacos half the size and I was left hungry. I recommend going during the week when they have better staff working.
I have been here a few times and (so far) I have only ever ordered the chicken shawarma tacos. They might be a little overpriced at $8 for two tacos but they are one of the more affordable items on their menu. However, they have changed in consistency a few times. For example, I'll get more tomatoes one day or different types of onions. They have also varied in how much they're filled but they are typically better if you go during the week at lunch.
The place is usually clean, the back patio is so cute and the staff is friendly. I haven't gone when it's been busy, so the service has always been quick. I will note that the person who takes your order also makes the food. When more than one guest walks in, they typically hold off on making your food until after they take orders. This can add to your wait time.

Their beef fries were very good. I would come back for that. Large portion food. Have a nice outside area at the back of the restaurant.
Decided to order dinner from Cela (chicken kabob and chicken Mediterranean salad) and will be coming back here for all Mediterranean going forward. The chicken was seasoned just right and so tender. The salad was crisp, fresh, and nicely balanced with the homemade dressing. Ordered online and meal was ready within 20 minutes. Great stuff!

very bad experience with this restaurant. delayed the order and when it arrived after 90 minutes, it was missing some items so not all of us could eat. When I called them, they said take action through Uber and there is nothing they could do. For me an apology would have worked but they hesitated to even apologize for missing and delayed order.

Terrible customer service. They said the wait time for the order was 5-10 minutes, but I stood there for 30 minutes, and the order was still being prepared. I do not recommend this place.
