Cedar Taste Restaurant

Cedar Taste is hands down the best restaurant in the entire food court! The portions are always so generous, and every single dish tastes incredible. What really sets them apart is the kindness of the owners, they are always smiling, warm, and genuinely happy to serve. It’s no wonder they’re always the busiest spot in the food court. Their son, Ryan, often helps out as cashier, and he’s just as thoughtful and kind as the rest of the family. You truly feel welcomed here every single time. Great food, amazing people, unbeatable atmosphere, Cedar Taste is tasty as hell and an absolute gem!

I did NOT expect Cedar Taste to be so outstanding! We were expecting generic food court fare, but Cedar Taste turned out to be the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten! The humus and baba ganoush was especially good … exquisitely creamy, smooth, and tasty. I was raised on my Greek grandmother and aunt’s home cooked Greek food, but their hummus, baba ganoush, & dolmas was not nearly as good as Lebanese chef Sam’s from Cedar Taste. Note: I rated the atmosphere only a 2 as it’s in a food court — not something that Cedar Taste has any control over.

Delicious food and friendly owners. Beef shawarma and dolmas were delicious. Rice is fresh. Owners are so nice and will treat you as their family. Thank you Maggie !

I should’ve wrote this review earlier, because now I am biased and a regular customer. Regardless, this is my favorite lunch/early dinner spots for a warm meal downtown. The family that runs this spot are wonderful and incredibly friendly. Although the menu isn’t huge, I’m sure you can find something you’ll like. I usually get the chicken shawarma plate (pictured) and it is incredible each time. The house “Cedar” sauce goes perfectly with garlic sauce. They are consistently making more shawarma so you’ll get a hot & juicy helping with the fluffy rice. A nice side salad, hummus (or babaghanoush) & a pita round out a filling but healthy meal. The falafel is also good, I just don’t usually get it. The pita or salad options are amazing too, and great options for people with less of an appetite

The woman that owns it and her son working were so kind and welcoming. It was my first time here and I live an hour away but will be back for sure, such good food! She gave me samples of the beef and rice with was so good and the chicken shwarma wrap is what I got, so good :)
