Wow! What a gem of a find! We were just in town for one night and Googled "restaurants near me" and found Cedars! I am vegetarian and my boyfriend is gluten free and we were both able to find plenty of options to eat! Rita and her beautiful parents were so kind and friendly! We felt like family by the end of our meal! If you haven't been ... it is a MUST! And ... ask if Tony is working! He's the littlest member of the staff, but the cutest! Thank you for making our night Rita! Hugs, Amy and SeanVegetarian options: Falafel is deeeeee-licious!Dietary restrictions: The staff is very knowledgeable and will help you pick food for any dietary needs.
Great food. The gyros are amazing. The hummus is great. The grape leaves are pretty bad. Like they are using canned leaves, and no flavor.

Cozy cafe. Delicious food and a sweet staff. I am gluten free and had a gyro salad. I haven't eaten one in a long time. It was great.

We were looking around for a light bite so we just ordered some appetizers, the baba ganoush and artichoke salad, and it was delicious! Then we got the baklava for a little dessert and it was the perfect amount of sweetness. The owner and staff were super kind and welcoming, too! Will definitely have to come back next time for a full meal to try more food because it all sounded so good. Truly a hidden gem!

I am so glad to have found this place! It was my first time there and the staff were extremely nice and friendly. The food was so flavorful and fresh, the homemade chips with hummus were amazing. I had the Shawarma platter, plenty of food for two people but I am glad to now have leftovers. Thank you for making me feel like family the moment I walked in; it was a lovely experience that one does not get in many other bigger restaurants. I will be back for sure.

The only bad thing I have to say about this place is that we lived in the area for over 10 years and just now decided to eat at Cedar's Grill. My wife and I are NYC transplants, so we have had our fair share of amazing Gyros. I use to say if it doesn't taste like what I get in NYC it's subpar. Now when it comes to Gyros Cedar's has risen the bar. Food is phenomenal and service to match. From the pitas, to the meats, to the homemade soup, everything delicious. Rita genuinely loves to serve customers and takes pride in her food and service. Her customer service is not an act it's as authentic as her food.

Great corner shop for quick lunches and a taste of the middle east. Love the dry goods on the shelves.

Very tasty food to have during my trip to the airport. Their lamb shawarma is out of this world. The portion is excellent and you get more than what you pay for! Keep it
Both the food and the owner and her staff were absolutely delightful. Plus there's a great little selection of Mediterranean dry groceries to take home after you're done eating! Highly recommended!
Cedar’s is our favorite Mediterranean food we’ve ever tried. We live an hour away, but whenever we are in the area, we can’t wait to stop by. The food is delicious and the staff is so welcoming and accommodating. Wish we lived closer!
Rita and her team are wonderful and the food is excellent! This place is a gem of Stroudsburg. Best authentic Lebanese/Turkish/Greek cuisine in the poconos. It’s a hole in the wall (very small but there are 2 tables to sit). Most people order takeout. The prices are excellent and portions very large. You can feel the love when you walk into the building, you can tell Rita is passionate about her food and she makes you feel like family. We’re new to the area and will definitely be back!Parking: Parking out front not a big issue, it’s metered street parking but I’ve not had a hard time finding a spot on a busy day.
Highly recommend! Amazing food and portions for the money.First time I ate part of my to-go order in the restaurant. Great food!! with the portions being able to become 2 meals, and awesome service.. very sweet people. Suggested to the family and we just got 4 meals and 4 desserts. Again, very very good, huge portions and again awesome service when picking the order up. I don’t write reviews ever (first one) but they truly deserve it! Easy 5 stars
