The Scene
The dining room is modest and rustic but comfortable. The lunch buffet is popular with downtown business people, but dress is casual any time of day. Come in on Friday or Saturday night and you'll be treated to a belly-dance show.
The Food
Order the meza (appetizer) combination to sample several different Middle Eastern flavors and textures. The tabbouleh--chopped parsley, tomatoes, green onions and bulgur wheat mixed with olive oil and lemon juice--is full of flavor and is a nice contrast to the smooth, garlicky hummus. Sarma (grape leaves stuffed with rice, onions and spices) have a nice hint of nutmeg and cinnamon. The falafel is packed with flavor, but tends to be a bit on the dry, crumbly side. If you're looking for a tasty, meatless entree, try the cheese beurek--feta cheese layered with phyllo dough--with rice and your choice of soup or salad.

I decided to try the Cedars of Lebanon a few weekends ago while my whole family was in town. Our group was about 13 people all of us being Lebanese, but living in other countries as well. Last time my Family was here visiting we went to Mazza and were so Disipointed, I was embarresed to have taken my family there. The food was plain out bad, and Not authentic like they claim. We tried cedars and the food was just like it was back home. The atmosphere was very nice and reminded me of Lebanon. We had 13 different dishes and we all Loved each one! We were so full after like we should be the traditional way. I Highly Recommend Cedars of Lebanon a real Lebanese experience, Not a Fake middle eastern Restaurant that tires to pass off Garbage to the unknowing public as Lebanese Food!!!( MAZZA)

In these tough economic times, we bought an entertainment book in order to be able to go out to eat more often on a budget. We had a coupon for Cedars of Lebanon which stated it was buy one dinner entree, get one free with a value up to $12.00. Under the coupon is a sample menu which lists dishes like Pastilla at $12.95. We understand this book came out 4 months ago and prices can be a little different, however we were surprised to find the same Pastilla dish listed on the menu for $18.95. We did try the food and the food was very good, however we wanted to advise that when all was said and done, this "buy one dinner entree, get one free," coupon only covered the tip!

My boyfriend and I were skiing in Utah and made it a point to visit this place on our way back to the airport. I am Lebanese and lived in Lebanon my whole teenage years. Of course I love the food and always crave a homemade meal. I didn't think the food here was as authentic as I hoped it to be. I got the chicken shawarma, which was very flavorful, but again not authentic. Chicken, garlic sauce, and rice flavors were absolutely delicious, but adding the green beans, carrots, and peas took away quite a bit from the flavor of the dish. However, It made it look really colorful, so I get the need for the presentation. Pita bread was too thick for what I am used to eating. Would recommend a dip to go along, if it's going to be served at first. Hummus was ok ? no garlic or lemon juice flavor. Pita bread was too thick for what I am used to eating. I would have also like to have seen more of Lebanon beauty on the walls.
