Cedar Grille

Delicious food. I love the sample platter for 2. The bread is made there, and the specials are good too. I am from Dearborn originally and I know good Arabic food.

I enjoy the food here every time I order. They have good service. A little on the slow side, but it does not bother me as I use it as an excuse to get Starbucks located in the same plaza.

Hands down the shittiest Lebanese food ever!!!
Three people in the place, 4 employees and it still took 40 minutes for 3 Shish tawook, chicken kabob and a large fattoush salad. Kabob was a joke. No vegetables just some overdone hunks of chicken sitting on stale rice. Calling it a large salad is being really generous. I’ve seen side salads larger. Customer service was horrible. The cashier was more concerned about charging his iPhone than ringing up orders. DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!!

Just ordered take out from here and all of the food was great. Flavorful, fresh and cooked perfectly. The spices and seasoning were great– not too strong and not too light. Great choice!

I order on line & pick up a chicken tawook sandweechet for lunch almost once a week. For $ 4.25 it can’t be beat. I subtract the pickles and add tabouli to the sandweechet. It is so fresh tasting it always leaves me feeling good! Compared to the other Mediterranean/​Middle Eastern restaurants I’ve been to the interior here is remarkably elegant and clean.

The wife and daughter love the food here. I am not convinced from my dining in experience. Listening to condenser noise and weak service didn’t do much for me. I had the Mixed grill and
hummus. Okay, but not special.

If you want to dine in or carry out this is the best Mediterranean cuisine in town! My favorite is there chicken fattouch salad — the dressing is homemade with just the right amount of spices. Everything served here is fresh and they bake not only their own bread but also the baklava. Atmosphere is quaint and always very clean. I recommend highly and give this family own business more than 5 stars!!!

Visited twice and both times where great. Love the food and very attentive service. Keep up the good work!

Food is good, fresh garlic and the bread is amazing but don’t get a smoothie it’s more like a fruity Icee… Seriously you get a lot of ice

Great food! Generous portions and very reasonable prices! Will definitely be back! :o)

Great food and great service.
The lamb kabob it wonderful, I like to get it with grilled vegetables instead of rice or fries.
Oh and they also have good bread!

Authentic Lebanese menu. Personalized service —comfort food and atmosphere. The recipes match my Grandmother’s kitchen.

I have eaten here several times for lunch and dinner and have tried various items and have not been disappointed anytime I’ve been here.
Their salads are excellent, the hummus very good, and on occasion I have ordered a couple of their juices which have been outstanding.
This is one of those places that is a small but very well run operation, and whenever I am in the area and need a good bike that is healthy and reasonably priced, I will continue to stop in here and recommend you give this place a try.

OMG! Why didn’t I go here sooner? I had a crazy New Yasmeen Bakery craving yesterday, but it’s a long way to drive for a sandwich, so I looked at the Unilocal reviews and gave Cedar Grille a try. I went back for dinner tonight.
The hot pita bread is PERFECT! One of the small joys in life. The sandwiches are HUGE and have generous portions of meat. They are cheap for the amount of protein you get, but I do opt to add veggies so they are more like the Shawarma I grew up with :-) Good hummus, fattoush, garlic sauce, grape leaves. Very big portions — plenty to share. You could feed 4 adults on less that $ 40 carry out if you take advantage of sandwiches and mezza portions of their menu. Excellent guava smoothie.
I did not dine in, but it looks very classy yet relaxed. Like it’s not the kind of restaurant where they would rush you. Where I’m from, Mediterranean eating means spending time with friends and family, so that is a big plus in my book. The people who own the restaurant and work there are super nice and hospitable. Would give 6 stars if I could because I thought I had given up the beloved Lebanese food of my childhood when I left Dearborn. Would eat here every day if I could afford it.

This place was a great surprise. Its a small location but they’re doing it right. Food was great, Service was great. Garlic sauce was amazing.

Always happy & satisfied when I visit cedar grille. My all time favorite is the fattoush with chicken breast. The hot bread is delicious. The place is always clean. Service is polite and fast. Manager is a nice guy. Must be family because they do such a great job.

I came here with a friend who comes here regularly. It’s a typical mediterranean restaurant. Kabobs, hummus, falafel, etc. I ordered the chicken shawarma plate (13.99). Definitely a little on the higher end though the quantity was fair. The shawarma was a little drier than I had hoped so it would have been nice to get more rice with the plate. Service was prompt and great. All the entrees come with either a soup or salad so I got the opportunity to try the lentil soup. That was delicious as well. For those coming here for lunch, it may be more advantageous to get a sandwich and soup as you’d probably spend half the price I did and still get a decent quantity. Overall, a decent place that will have its share of visits whenever possible.

I’m a Mediterranean Food enthusiast (whatever that is) and the food just wasn’t comparable to other Mediterranean Restaurants I have frequented.
Positives: nice, attentive servers
Tender meat
Hot soft bread
Very clean
The Lamb Kafta was very tender but overly seasoned for my taste buds. The Chicken Tawook was tender but lacking a significant grill flavor. I did not care for the Meat Pies but I think this was just a personal taste preference. This was my first and last time ever ordering one lol.
The competition is tough!

I have a message for all of the meddling middle eastern restaurants lingering around town with mediocre food, unsanitary utensils, dirty décor and subpar service. Shut your doors, sit the F down and analyze every microscopic detail of the Cedar Grille before disgracefully shaking your head at how you comprehensively failed to compete with this restaurant.
My double x chromosomed cutie pie and I sashayed in here last Friday for dinner and rapidly went again for carryout this past Monday. With no reservations, this caucasion sensation says they have some of the best middle eastern food in the tri-​county area. Cedar Grille donkey kicks every LaShish plagiarizer in the breasticles with outlandishly good flavor, omnipotent ingredients and a translucent level of cleanliness.
I’ll start with the bread and garlic. Stupendous. They have a wood fired oven openly exposed behind the counter so that you could never doubt the authenticity. Baked to a light brown texture and a Scott Scorching temperature that was burning hot for 5 minutes after it was served. The garlic paste was viciously spicy and freshly made. I rocked with the cream chop chicken and rice. More expensive than other places at $ 13.99 but it comes with an exquisitely stewed cup of crushed lentil. The meat was whiter than my skin in January and the outside was flakier than me cancelling a dentist appointment at the last minute. Perfection.
She had the red snapper for a carryout and it was surprisingly tender with no fish aromatherapy or aftertaste. I tried some and could see myself ordering it if I could only manage to pry my fingers away from the fork repeatedly shoveling their delicious chicken in my mouth.
Go here and treat yourself. It’s in a newer strip mall with lesser restaurants. Thank you Unilocalers for pointing out this gem as I’ve driven by a million times and never once considered stopping in. So very glad I did. I tried talking to the manager on my last visit and he wasn’t talkative but I’m assuming that it was because he was too busy delivering the goods and for that, I can’t fault him. Service wise, they’re efficient and friendly. I tried to compliment them but they didn’t care. I guess when you’ve been doing so well for over two years, you know how good you are.

I ate in today, and had good service. My food was better than I remember in the past.
I started working across the street third quarter for 2010. I ate here a TON for a year, until A. the service got so bad I couldn’t get a sandwich in a one hour period, and B. better lebanese is out there. It seems that’s all been ironed out, and I’ll be trying this a few more times. There’s not as close in the Crooks/​Long Lake corridor.
Falafel: Crispy outside, hot tender inside. Very good. Only gripe is vlasic style pickle chips, not the usual mediterranean pickles you think of.
Small Greek Salad: Good size for the price, fresh toppings and plenty of dressing. Very much a win on this.
Chicken Kafta Sandwich: Crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and garlic inside this flavor sandwich. All rolled up in a crispy pita bread.
Garlic Paste: On the hot side, really lingers and can overpower in the sandwich at times. You will taste and smell like garlic for a while after, gets into the oil of your skin!
House bread: Done in the little brick oven, I call the pillow tops. Comes with the house salsa which is a zesty tomato blend with spices and capers.
Food quality wise it’s good. $ 4 a sandwich can’t be beat when it’s hot and fresh.
I do wish they had two versions of their garlic paste, I like mine far less ‘hot’ than they serve here. It really over powers the bread, and the sandwich. I taste and smell garlic all day.
