“We had a catering order done here and it hit the spot!! The food was delicious and perfect. The time expected for the food to be ready was on the dot and everyone working was very nice. Me and my friends enjoyed having this food to eat during the Super Bowl. If you ever need some good food to cater this is the place to go. Thank you Cedar Palace team!!”
“Catered for the Super Bowl and did not regret at all! Had enough food for 12 people for the entire night. Even after everyone finished there was still a lot left. Great portions. Meats were cooked and seasoned very well. Lots of sauces provided as well, with onions, peppers, tomatoes, and lots of rice. Overall very great service and food, would definitely recommend.”
“Me and my friends catered for the super bowl and it was the best decision we made. They made everything how we wanted and the food tasted amazing. We couldn’t have been more happy with the results. Would highly recommend to anyone to cater from cedar palace.”
“Amazing food, 10/10 would recommend for everyone to come here or cater out. We did our Super Bowl with them and we cannot get over how good the food was!”
“We catered food for Super Bowl, it was incredible! All ready to go for us on the time we requested, plenty of food for the price. Would definitely recommend!”
“My husband and I loved this place. The food is delicious. We will definitely be back! Family owned, everyone was so nice.”
“I have to say their flavor is amazing this dish is sooooo good I love me some mushrooms”
“great people great food! I had a very good coffee with a great desert called namura bashta! you should try it too!”
“Family owned and operated, great service and delicious food! We have been ordering lunch and dinner here for years but recently tried their brunch. It was amazing! Two standouts were the Arabic Breakfast Sampler Platter and the Dubai Chocolate Waffles. The Arabic Breakfast was so healthy and delicious - I want to eat it for breakfast everyday! The waffles were mouthwatering, yet not too sweet. By the way, they make their own Dubai chocolates (sorry I didn’t get a photo) and they are the best Dubai chocolates I have ever tasted! The owner, Silvana, and her highly attentive staff (many who are her own family members) always make us feel so welcome and cared for!”
“AMAZING! This is truly the best Middle Eastern food I’ve ever had - everything tastes so authentic and full of flavor. The customer service is incredible as well and the staff are always so friendly and genuinely go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. I highly recommend that everyone try Cedars. It’s my go to Middle Eastern spot whenever I’m craving delicious kebobs.”
“We loved our meals at Cedar Palace -- generous portions of scrumptious home-cooked dishes prepared from recipes handed down for generations of owner Silvana's family -- but it's the friendly, swift service and welcoming atmosphere that truly makes this place a gem. You're not just stepping into a restaurant; this is an extension of a family's kitchen and dining room, where, if you return often enough, you'll be known and cared for by name.”
