What great gem in hyde park. Food portions are huge, price is extremely reasonable and the food was delicious. Definitely coming back.
Great food and great service! I recommend this place!
I popped in here for dinner for the first time yesterday and the food was so good! I tried the Arab swag tacos and they were delicious and filling. I’ll definitely be telling everyone about this place.
Really good Shepherd's salad - make sure to ask for chicken on the side
The chicken shawarma plate was excellent too
As was the Arab Swag Taco
I love cedars! I’ve been 6 times since finding it in October. Great food, great vibes, and great people. This month supporting great causes every wednesday!
So tasty and with a kind and friendly staff! I had the hummus and lentil soup and both were really good! The hummus has pine nuts, sumac, herbs, and olive oil on top. The lentil soup is hearty and tasty. Along with these traditional dishes, there are some more "fusion" dishes like wings and tacos that my friends ordered and really enjoyed. Highly recommend Cedar's if you are in the neighborhood.
I'm a big fan of Cedars. The owner is really kind and good-hearted. The food is Middle Eastern with a twist that I enjoy, since most Middle Eastern places are usually the same. The swag tacos are a favorite and the shawerma plate is good value for money. They also have specials that happen throughout the week. I almost always get takeout and never had an issue with my order. The staff are all friendly and helpful.
Quality food. Fairly quickly made. Been a few times and the chicken wings are absolutely amazing. Being from Buffalo it's tough to find good wings but the sauce they put on these is surprisingly delicious. The other food is solid.
Came in for the Sudki special & it did not disappoint! The baklava had flawless layers & perfect crunch. They really have something special here & I will be back!
It was neat to see fusion items on the menu! The falafel wrap was amazing. The lentil soup was great. And I really recommend trying their watermelon sugar drink!
As an Egyptian, I’m picky with my Middle Eastern food, and this was awesome! The hummus was so delicious, very creamy and with tons of sumac and pine nuts for a great flavor. I was a little skeptical of the Arab Swag tacos but they were awesome. The servers are very friendly as well.
Hidden Halal Gem in Chicago. Delicious halal food near the Museum of Science and Industry! Both the Lamb/Beef Barbacoa Tacos & the Arab Swag chicken tacos with chilli salsa and roasted corn are fantastic and a real treat for someone who eats halal meat only. Staff and owner very helpful and friendly too. Try both you won’t regret it.
