Cedar Halal Food & Grill — Restaurant in Florida

So I came here a few months ago and the food and service was outstanding. I went today again and the service was good they were polite and kept checking on me and my friend as we were dining in. I ordered a lamb shank with rice same thing I had last time. Lamb was good but rice was obviously old. It was cooked but could tell it had been sitting for a while. Also the garlic sauce which I loved the last time tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge for a long time it was by no means fresh. I know pandemic has been tough on family owned restaurants I always support my local restaurants but that doesn’t give someone an excuse to serve cold food or food that has been sitting in the back for some time. That’s unacceptable and the owner should fix this immediately. Gave 2 starts because the staff was friendly and the previous experience was very pleasant so I know what good food they are capable of however after spending approx $45 for this experience I will not...

I’ve been coming here for over 10 years regularly and just decided to write a review because I do not want to see this restaurant fall victim to the pandemic.

To say this food is authentic Lebanese food is an understatement. So savory and delicious, I can’t recommend it enough! The portions are large enough to save and have for lunch the next day. My husband loves the Shawarma, and my son loves kefta. My absolute favorite, if you’re lucky enough to be around when the squash is in season, is the kousa Mahshi (stuffed squash). I recommend all the spreads - the hummus, babaganoush, toum, green beans, tomato eggplant, etc. Try the baklava and kunafe for dessert!

Try everything! It’s all good! Every single thing on the menu...

It’s one of those spectacular holes in the wall that most people wouldn’t pay attention to unless they knew a guy, who knew a guy, who knew that guy that eats there regularly. When you walk in it’s much busier than you would expect and there’s plenty of Lebanese products to choose from if you’re feeling a little homesick for the motherland. Take some HUMMUS to go because they make it smack. Make sure to take a small and not a large, because the large is big enough to feed a tribe. Food is great for the price. And if you think it’s expensive after ordering 10 delicious shawarmas, take a minute to do the math and reevaluate your spending habits. Yes all those transactions on your credit card was you...
