We started with Hummus, tabbouleh, and fresh pita bread. Our entrees were grilled lab chomps and mixed grill. We also had the Beirut drink – everything top notch and our waiter was Amine. Best place in Florida for Mediterranean cuisine

What a lovely lunch spot on a weekday! We shared babaganouj to start. Two of us had the daily special, grape leaves (Mahashi Inab) and both relished in the subtle flavor in each morsel. Its sauce is delicate, so if you prefer a Greek style then order accordingly. Our other friend who loves chicken livers order them in the create your own combo. The CYOC is quite a deal with rice, vegetables, salad (or other side), and protein/main dish. Service was pleasant as always. We keep coming back after the many years since 2001. Delightful!

I had a wonderful dinner here tonight with my dad. The food was excellent — everything tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. The babaganoush was definitely my favorite dish! The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and I want to give a special thanks to our server, Amine D, for making the experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Definitely a Wonderful restaurant for date night. My husband brought me here and let me tell you, the food and atmosphere is amazing. So many varieties of flavors, everything on point, seriously No Complaints. The staff and owner of the restaurant were very attentive to every party, not just to us, but everyone. Very respectful, kind and professional. Clean and well maintained. We will always return back to Cedars for many more future special occasions.

I don’t want to be dramatic but this is quite possibly the best restaurant we have been to. The starters, the LAMB, the humus, the cheese, THE falafels, and so much more, it was all delicious. By far the best food we have had in Orlando. Highly recommend.

In my 40 years of traveling the world and visiting thousands of restaurants, this was, unfortunately, one of the worst experiences I’ve had. My wife and I are both Lebanese, and we love seeking out Lebanese restaurants to enjoy authentic meals while traveling. When we pulled up to this restaurant, I was initially impressed by the sign—it was distinctly Lebanese, with the cedar tree symbol front and center. We were excited to give it a try, especially since we visited during lunchtime.
When we walked in, the restaurant was empty. We were greeted by a gentleman sitting on his laptop, and we sat down to wait for the waiter. Right away, the restaurant smelled more like Indian cuisine than Lebanese, which was unexpected. Nevertheless, we ordered two shawarma sandwiches, but the waiter immediately told us they were only available for takeout. I questioned why this wasn’t mentioned on the menu, and the waiter explained that they didn’t have time to serve sandwiches to seated customers. This didn’t make sense to me, and as I was discussing it with the waiter, the gentleman who greeted us (later revealed to be the co-owner) yelled at the waiter to serve us what we requested. I found myself trying to defuse the tension between them, which was an uncomfortable situation to be in as a customer.
Despite the rocky start, we ordered the sandwiches, fattoush salad, hummus, two kids’ platters, and lemonade. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. The fattoush was overly salty, the hummus tasted like it came from a can, and the lemonade was bland and flavorless. I didn’t even feel comfortable asking for sugar to fix it. For a bill totaling $106, the quality of the food and the overall experience were far below what I would expect.
I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. This restaurant has potential, but it needs significant improvements in food quality, service, and overall management. I hope they take this feedback seriously because, as it stands, I cannot recommend this place. Save your money and your time.
