Cedars Restaurant is some of the very best Lebanese cuisine I have ever eaten. For starters, the homemade pita bread baked fresh in a wood fired oven at the back of this elegant restaurant arrived at our table warm and puffed and unbelievably delicious. We ordered the Baba Gahnoush and Grape Leaves as an appetizer, and the dishes exceeded our expectations. Everything was super fresh and made to order, that it had us cleaning the plates with that wonderful, fresh baked pita bread.
We also ordered Hummus with Meat, and the lamb was so flavorful and tender; I wish I would have ordered it as an entree. Our entree was the Shawarma Platter, and like all of the food here, it did not disappoint. There wasn't a morsel left for our server to take away.
Stuffed as we were, based on the most delicious food we just enjoyed, we knew we had to try the Knafa for dessert. The syrup was delectable, and the cheese so fresh we would have ordered a second order if we had any room left.
We received outstanding service from the entire staff, and Nour made us feel like we were part of her family.
Whenever we are in the area, we will be sure to visit Cedars Restaurant again. Cedars is such a great dining experience that one may consider moving here so they can eat at this establishment on a regular basis.
Impeccable cuisine and service, do yourself a favor and stop in for a meal at Cedars if you are even remotely close by.
The food was amazing and it was worth the price. Jessica was an amazing server she could have talked me into anything. And to the lady cooking the bread it was very delicious
As a Lebanese person, I can confirm that the food here is authentic and delicious! Great place to have Lebanese and Mediterranean food. I will definitely be back whenever I am in Orlando again.
First time going to a Lebanese restaurant and absolutely loved all the appetizers we tried. Def recommend trying it out to satisfy any Mediterranean cravings!
As tourist we found it randomly, best Libanese food i have had in a long time. Friendly service. Absolutely recommended. Picture of so empty plates speak for their own.
I decided to stop by Cedar's for a random meal. This turned out to be one of the better decisions I have made in my life. I have spent time sailing in the Mediterranean, and indulged in the food and culture while I was doing so. The meal I had at Cedar's was absolutely on par, if not better, than eating in that region! And my server, Nour, was so lovely. She was very informed on all the food and it's history. Thanks to her, this wasn't just food for my stomach, but food for my soul as well in that I learned so much from her expertise in Mediterranean cuisine and culture. I cannot wait to go back, and would frequent this establishment if I lived in Orlando.
I had an absolutely delightful experience at Cedars! The ambiance was charming, and the staff were incredibly welcoming. The menu offered a fantastic variety of Middle Eastern dishes that were bursting with flavors and aromas. My wife and I were particularly impressed with the skillful preparation of each dish and the use of authentic ingredients. From the perfectly seasoned appetizers to the mouthwatering baklava, every bite was a culinary delight. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and grateful for the wonderful dining experience. We're already looking forward to our next visit!
Food was great and authentic! A little on the pricey side for the quantity on the mezza but the entrées were good. Overall we definitely will go back. Ps. The fresh bread is amazing!
This is THE place in Orlando if you are craving international cuisine, especially of the Lebanese variety. This is as much an entertainment plays as it is a high-quality restaurant. Here you can find on most weekends, live entertainment, an engaging crowd, and great food. I will not butcher the names of the various dishes, and do them any dishonor. And they have lamb and beef in a number of forms. The hummus is fantastic, you also have great vegetarian options. The garlic sauce and hot sauce are definitely a try. Looking for wines from the region, Yep, they have them. Paruse the menu, then show up order a smattering of dishes, and be prepared to enjoy yourself.
It's virtually impossible to have totally authentic Lebanese food in North America, as the food has to be Americanized a little but Cedar's comes pretty close. A lot of options on the menu, some you don't often see in Middle Eastern restaurants here, all well prepared and presented. Service is quick and friendly, prices a little on the high side.
This restaurant is phenomenal. The food is fresh with REAL ingredients. It's authentic Lebanese food. So healthy and delicious! Our whole family loves eating here every time we visit Orlando. The service is also fantastic! Everything on the menu is amazing.
We visited Cedars during our vacation trip and were impressed with the food quality, service, and hookah. The food was very authentic.
We are very picky with the hookah and Sakr did an amazing job! This is one of the best Lebanese restaurants we've visited! Highly recommend.
This was my first Lebanese restaurant and it was great! There was someone at the table that rarely ate red meat but fell in-love with the Lamb Rack when she tried someone’s:
From the pictures and ratings
-Lamb Rack 🙌🏽 5/5
-Shish Kabob 3/5
-shredded steak (forgot the name) 4/5
-Fried Kibbeh 4/5
-🍷 CHATEAU KSARA RESERVE
DU COUVENT 5/5
-Sujouk 3/5
I can say the sides of 🍚 were phenomenal, it caught us off guard. I’d definitely return
Oh and our waitress was great but I forgot her name (I’m just bad with names)
The chicken kabobs were juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The veggies were perfectly seasoned, and the rice was flavorful! Our server was very friendly and attentive. Our bread basket was refilled with fresh bread without us asking - Not only did he bring us a fresh batch of bread as soon as it came out of the oven, he also gave us a bag to go! Great experience as always! 👍
The food here is authentic, fresh, and just simply amazing!! The waiters are very nice and I had a great experience. Definitely add this to your list of go-tos if you want to try great Lebanese food.

We dined tonight for the first time to celebrate our friends birthday and it was fantastic! Our reservation was seated on time and the belly dancer was performing throughout our meal. She was interactive with patrons and our waitress was extremely attentive.
We started with the bread service, cheese rolls and kibbeh. The appetizers were served quickly along with our drinks and were very fresh! We’d never tried cheese rolls before, they are similar to a fried egg roll and were outstanding. According to our friend whom we dined with that is Armenian, she was extremely impressed with the Kibbeh.
For entrees we ordered the Lamb Shish Kabob, Cedar’s Chicken and Kafta Kabob, nothing too fancy with the plating but the amount of meat was insane! We all thought our meat was cooked perfectly, vegetables had a unique lemon & garlic seasoning that we all enjoyed. You will have lots of leftovers.
I’m always opting for local spots like this over the typical chain restaurants, I’m so glad we discovered Cedar’s!
Great food, I just ordered falafel and the spinach pie appetizers, which were amazing. My friend ordered the halibut entree, which she loved. Our server was very attentive and friendly.

AMAZING is truly an understatement. As a middle easterner, we are very discerning with regard to food. We are always in the pursuit of authentic food like we used to get back overseas. Of all of the many, many, MANY places I have been, this is one of the most authentic restaurants I've had the pleasure of eating in. I always concoct some sort of plan to come to Orlando simply so I can eat here. Having said that, let me get started!
The appetizer portions were quite large. The baba ganoush was delicious. Falafel were perfectly cooked and seasoned, not too hard and not undercooked. The sjouk was so tasty and tender, this can come out dry sometimes, not here though! The grape leaves (the cold variety) were fresh and very tasty. The fattoush and tabouleh were very well seasoned and tasted fresh. The kibbeh Nayeh (raw, minced meat with bulgur, onions, and spices [NOTICE: Eating raw or undercooked meat poses risk of foodborne illnesses]) was prepared similarly to how it's done overseas, using a food processor.
On to entrees, the kibee bi laban (fried kibbeh in yogurt) was very tasty and was a large portion. The mixed grill had perfectly seasoned chicken, beef, and kefta (ground beef mixed with spices) all from skewers were tender, tasty, well-seasoned, and oh so delicious. Let's not forget the staff, they were all very accommodating and friendly.
If ten stars were an option, I'd choose it. Try this place out, I promise you will not regret it!!!
