Really disappointed with my experience here. The food was borderline inedible — way too acidic, almost like something went wrong in the kitchen. The naan? Completely undercooked, soft and doughy like it hadn’t even touched the tandoor. After reading all the glowing reviews, I expected a solid meal, but it honestly felt misleading. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this one was necessary. Save your money and go elsewhere.

I honestly don’t understand the hype. The food at Cedars was a huge letdown. Every dish we ordered was overwhelmingly acidic, it completely overpowered any other flavors. On top of that, the naan was seriously undercooked and doughy, almost inedible. I had high expectations after seeing the 4.4-star rating, but it felt like false advertising. Either the standards have dropped recently, or the reviews are not reflective of the current quality. I won’t be coming back.

The young guy that helped us when the restaurant first opened was so nice! He memorized our order which was long, so that was impressive! The food was so delicious and flavorful! The parking lot is super convenient since it’s always hard to find street parking. Our go to place! “)

Love ordering from this restaurant.

My go-to is the chicken karahi gosht. The rice is flagrant, fluffy, and flavorful. Their chicken is tender and always cooked in a delicious sauce. Portion sizes are giant, I usually can split a meal with my partner.

Definitely recommend this place.

More Indian than Middle Eastern food. There are a few Middle Eastern offering and if you're craving a flat bread, the Naans are fabulous.

a delivery driver, I was told the order would be ready in 5-10 minutes, but I ended up waiting over an hour. This completely wastes drivers’ time, costs us money, and messes up other deliveries. Please be honest with wait times — we rely on accurate estimates to do our job efficiently. Very frustrating experience.

Finally visited after seeing so many great reviews about Cedars!

We got: Mediterranean Salad, Curry Specialties, Garlic Naan, Butter Masala, and Spinach & Paneer Naan! Everything so so delicious! And very filling! We were basically in awe of everything we ate, how well seasoned every dish was, and how we should’ve come sooner!

Everyone was super kind and helped us get situated into our table, and we definitely will come again!
