As long as I've been living in Chicago I have never been here. Decided to stop here with my friend for lunch. I had the lamb and beef tacos. They were absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and full of flavor! The mint lemonade it was absolutely delicious and very refreshing . Customer service was awesome. We were greeted and given information about their loyalty program and things that have changed with the new owner, still in the same family. It will definitely return!

I visited Cedars with my husband today and we cannot properly convey how much we loved it! The staff was patient, kind, knowledgeable, and the one detail that struck me the most was their treatment of everyone-open and caring. The food was epic; perfectly balanced seasoning, bright flavors, richness without heaviness, lovely fusion dishes and the absolute BEST crispy falafel I have had in my life. I felt so comfortable and at ease while I was there, which is a feeling I don’t usually have in restaurants. The ethos, celebration of community and cherished family recipes make this a one-of-a-kind dining experience, counting the days until I can go back! Thank you Cedars!!!! 🖤🤍❤️💚

Got take out here. Super delicious. Everyone was nice and service was prompt. Can't recommend this place enough. My wife and I got the lentil soup, chicken shwarma wrap, and the Palestinian chicken special. All for $35! Great deal. You gotta check them out

Cedars never disappoints. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. Eli provided excellent service—attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about every dish. He represents the family-owned business well, making the experience even better. The playlist also adds a nice touch, creating a great atmosphere to enjoy the meal. Always a solid choice. I highly recommend this gem.

Had the fish tacos. They were good
I was surprised that apparently there is new ownership. But they do a brisk take out business which I can understand.

I’ve been coming here for years and I always get the falafel wrap and lentil soup. Today my food was not flavorful at all and they charged me $2.50 to get the squared potatoes instead of the fries. My food was cold when I got home and I live down the street. Big disappointment all around. Service is friendly though.

Its good, but I miss the days of old, when a chicken shwarma was on pita bread and had tahini sauce. Its more like mediterranean fusion now.

Chris Grant

Excellent food and great staff. My family had always come here over the years while visiting family. They were very accommodating for our group when we wanted to have a bit if a reunion there.
