Cedar Grill

We came here for lunch. I ordered the mixed grill lunch for about $15. It comes with beef, chicken, and kofta, and 2 pita breads. The staff were friendly and quick with cooking the food. The rice pilaf was very tasty. I didn’t care much for the beef because it was a bit chewy and dry. I would prefer if it was like medium rare to medium. The chicken was very tender and juicy. The kofta had some nice flavor. Pita bread was hot and fresh. Food portions are not small. There is a large dining area. We parked on the far right side where it’s not so crowded. They have parking on the left and back but it’s kind of cramped.

I’ve driven by this place quite a bit in my travels and haven’t stopped in until today. I do enjoy this kind of food and I’ve decided I’ll judge a place like this by their chicken shawarma. So, that’s what I went with in a bowl. When I said I’d take it to go I swear the guy told me 10 minutes, but no sooner did I sit down and open my phone and he told me it was ready. I picked it up and was met with a friendly smile behind the counter and went on my way. It did not disappoint, healthy filled bowl with plenty of moist chicken and good dollops of hummus and garlic sauce and a bit of salad. My only disappointment is that in all the times I’ve driven by the is place that this was my first time eating here. Thank you and I’ll be back.

First time here. I’m a big fan of Mediterranean food. The cashier recommended a Mediterranean Bowl, so I chose the gyro bowl. It was fantastic! One of the best bowls I’ve ever had. It came with the gyro meat, yellow rice, tabouli, tzatziki sauce, and hummus. I was extremely impressed. You could taste each ingredient and the tabouli was very fresh. I look forward to coming back and highly recommend.

I’ve been living in Downers Grove for 4 years and honestly can’t believe I just found CEDAR Grill. Until now, I usually had to drive to Lombard or 75th Street whenever I wanted good Mediterranean food, so discovering this place was a really pleasant surprise. The food is full of flavor especially the falafel, You can tell everything is made with care. The prices are very decent, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the lady at the front was very kind and makes sure everything is good. This was my second visit, and I’ll definitely be a regular customer. Highly recommend! Ps- Except beef everything here is Halal!

To Go orders are always ready on time. The food is so flavorful. The tahini and garlic sauces are so tasty! My family will continue to be fans of Cedar Grill.
