★★★★☆ We visited this place last week and the first impression of this restaurant was just an ok type restaurant. We went in and hovered the menu real quick. Nothing different from other middle eastern restaurants. But then we ordered something which appeared very delicious in their menu card pictures. That was it! It was their rotisserie chicken with pota bread and garlic sauce. That made the day. Also their shawarmas were real juicy! All in all it was a visit worthy. Will definitely return!

★★★★★ Great food great service and good price Posted on October 15, 2014

★★★☆☆ A friend recommended me this place, I ordered three sandwiches, one shawarma, one shawarma mix and one chicken cream chops in addition to hummus. They were ok. but I liked the lentil soup. Posted on May 27, 2014

★★★★☆ Overall good place to eat. My dish was a little oily, but the hummus and salad were delicious! My husband's meal was fine. Huge portions and waitress was very nice. Posted on June 14, 2013

★★★★☆ I really love their baba ghanooj Posted on May 4, 2013

★★★☆☆ We went there Saturday night. We bought the big platter which came with a lot of things. The soup, hummus and salad were great though I was a bit disappointed that they didn't serve fresh bread. Then came the meat platter which we all thought wasn't too good. I have definitely tasted much better Arabic style meat dishes. Overall ambience was also not that great. Posted on September 25, 2012

★★★☆☆ Not bad for the price Posted on September 2, 2012

★★★★★ Delicious food, possibly the best value for money I've had. Could not believe how low the check was. We had their pepper steak and a couple of combos. Everything was really good but special mention for their shawarma (both beef and chicken), chicken tikka, seekh kabob and freshly baked bread. Posted on August 25, 2012

★★★★☆ Very good food. Clean restaurant. My only issue is this is a Muslim place as evidenced by the menu and there is pop music playing on the stereo. Also, they cut their salad greens with a knife which causes them to brown prematurely appearing old. If they simply tear the greens by hand they would find it won't brown as rapidly and the food will be more appetizing. The portions are a good size too so excellent value. Posted on July 13, 2012

★★★☆☆ Had their lamb platter which was pretty good. However, some of the items did not seem fresh, like salad and grape leaves. This was my first time here, but will give it another try. Posted on April 20, 2012

★★★★★ All time favorite ... I'been going there for over 10 years ... best value for your money ... the best Labanese food in MoTown! Posted on November 5, 2011

★★☆☆☆ We were told this place was good. But not impressed. Meat dishes felt dirty to eat. Prices were okay. Service was not that great Posted on January 30, 2011

★☆☆☆☆ This place is garbage. I've gotten sick from their food. I also have witnesses they way they prepare the food. The cooks don't wash their hands when coming out from the restroom, they go straight to the kitchen and prepare your food, Many rates are in the restaurant. I've seen cooks pick up food from the ground and serve it to costumers, how dirty is that??? One of my friends got kidney stones from consuming their salads. By the way, some of their meat is not hala. They get it from restaurant Depot on Miller road. Posted on December 17, 2009

★★☆☆☆ The worst place in the state of Michigan! We went there and stood like stooges and then chose a table ourselves. After the waitress took our order, all of them started to quarrel loud enough to decide who is responsible for which table. Then one family was leaving and one of the customer slipped and fell. Not to my surprise none of the staff bothered coming up to her. Also the food was 2/5 cause I didn't expect my whole steak to be in small pieces. Never going back. Posted on November 7, 2009

★★★★☆ Fast food convience with excellent taste. They also have excellent grape leaves. Nice place to take your family. Posted on February 1, 2009

★★★★★ I have been coming to Cedarland Restaurant for 20 years. I have read many comments and am surprised when they say Cedarland is not very clean....I have been there during a dinner rush when 150 plus people and children are enjoying their meals as if they were in a park. Welcomed children tearing up their establishment. Crawling on booths, smearing windows etc. But the owners deal with it and clean up afterwards. The restaurant has to go through strick Health department scrutiny to be opened. I enjoy Cedarland and the fact that we can take our 5 children their and enjoy a day out. We have had wonderful meals there at prices we can afford. And the owners do everything to see that we have been taken care of, down to free soup, free appetizers, free garlic sauce. This is truly a family restaurant. Posted on September 15, 2008

★★★☆☆ Place is not very clean. Otherwise food is Okay. Couple of entrees I've tried are average taste. Lentil soup is great, just like home made. A big drawback at this place is they don't serve fresh pita bread like Al-Ameer or Lashish. Posted on April 8, 2008

★★★★☆ This is a family favorite place. Usually you can get the cedar plate and that is enough variety to keep you going throughout your meal. For some reason the meat tends to be under cooked and hard, so we usually swap out the beef chunks with chicken tawook, and simply ask them to cook the other meat products well. They give you free lentil soup which is vey yummy, and the best thing is their garlic sauce and their tahini sauce. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is planning on feeding a large group. They have plenty of space and the prices are very reasonable. Just the only downside to Cedarland is the condition of their kitchen. If you can ignore that aspect, you will love their food.. Posted on November 1, 2007

★★★★★ Excellent food. Service is ok. Servings are HUGE. 2 people can share one plate and still have leftovers. The prices are very reasonable. They give you free bread and soup with each order. Me and my mom ordered one plate of Ghallaba which came with fatoush and baba ghanouj. We were full and had leftovers to take back to the hotel. I always go here when I am visiting. Posted on July 23, 2007

★★★★★ Very delighted to finally eating good arabic food,for a moderate price.Their free soup/homus/salad was too good,and the meat plater was out of this world.My Family enjoyed it a lot.Staff was nice. Posted on July 26, 2006

★★★★★ Family atmosphere, good food, VERY GENEROUS portions, friendly staff and still inexpensive. This place has been around for many many years and I can always remember it being this good. We've had large family (20+) dinners here several times and never had a complaint. Btw, does anybody else think the owner (one of the brothers) looks like Saddam Hussein? Posted on July 13, 2006

★★★★☆ Ate there once, Shawarmas were excellent and the price was decent. Posted on August 29, 2005

★★★★☆ Family type resteraunt and one of the famous ones in Dearborn, MI. They usually serve complimentary lentil soup but no fresh bread. Arabic food served with many combo plates. I do prefer the arabic food but I usually stay away from the hamburgers and non arabic dishes. Posted on August 3, 2005

★★★☆☆ Waiters and waitresses are friendlier than Al-Ameer. Decor ok. Food ok. nothing spectacular. Posted on June 11, 2005

★★★☆☆ I would agree with some of the not so great reviews for cedarland. The quality of food has gone down since the first time I ate there 6 years ago. There are many resturants in the Warren vicinity that serve better food. Posted on May 23, 2005

★★★★★ assalam o alaikum i have been eating in this restaurant since i have moved detroit. its absolutely amazing place to take your family and the food is amazingespecially thier soup(dal). the sandwiches, gslaba and sheesh comba is excellent. i would hight recommend this place to every muslim in michigan. Posted on April 2, 2005

★☆☆☆☆ I remember the food being great and we use to often frequent the resturaunt until the waitress was so rude....she even toseed the pepsi on the table that it landed in my lap. Then when we asked for certain changes in the food, they brought it two mins after the salad and said they could not do it. We left all the food on the table, paid for our pepsi and left....and Never went back! Posted on December 16, 2004

★★☆☆☆ I ate here once and only once. What I got was not very tasty, and this is sad given that the area is so filled with Middle Eastern Restaurants. An unusual feature, though, is their drive-through where you can get things like brain sandwiches. Yummy! ;) Posted on November 19, 2004

★★★★★ Cedarland is actually a landmark in Detroit. It's been around for sooo long. And the food they serve is excellent and quite inexpensive. Plus it's a great place to take your family and has two locations!! Posted on October 28, 2004

★★★★★ This is a nice family restaurant own by Muslims. Try their combos, food is excellent. I like their fatoosh and the side items including the platters. Authentic Halal Posted on February 22, 2004

★★★★★ I have travelled hundreds of miles just to dine at this fabulous restaraunt. WOW! Every mile is worth it. Try the Kofta Kabab and Chicken Tawouk -- excellent!!!!! Posted on January 31, 2004

★★★★★ You walk in, and it seems to be just another dive with tacky decor. It's not. I have traveled from Chicago JUST TO EAT HERE. If you close your eyes and just focus on the food, you may fool yourself into believing you are in Damascus or Beirut. It's that good. Posted on December 23, 2003

★★★★★ Very nice and good. Posted on December 22, 2003

★★★★☆ Excellent food. Free apetizers (Lentil soup and pita bread). Try the mixed grill combo. Posted on December 19, 2003

★★★★★ Try this place. Believe me when i say that you will not regret it. Posted on November 8, 2003

★★★★★ Food is excellent and portions are a good size. The prices are also reasonable. The restaurant also has good hours (open till 1:00 am on Saturday night). Posted on October 31, 2003

★★★★★ "I have been going to Cedar Land for almost 10 years. And i can honestly say, the quality and the quantity of the food remains the same. It is probably the best halal resteraunt you'll find around Michigan. All the food is delicious but i highly recommend the ghallaba, and cedar plate. EnjoY!!" Posted on January 10, 2003

★★★★★ Cedarland has excellent halal food and reasonable prices. The service leaves much to be desired, but again the food is really great! I highly recommend thier shish tawook. Posted on August 21, 2002

★★★★★ This is my favorite restaurant in the Detroit area. The food is excellent and in abundance. Unless you are a very big eater, I suspect you will take home enough for another meal. Their individual combo plate is large enough for two people. They even have a drive through take out window and have just open a new bakery the the building which used to house the restaurant. This is a winner for sure. Posted on April 2, 2002

★★★★★ Middle Eastern Restaurant that serves delicious food. Note: Ask if the chicken is zabihah. Posted on October 15, 1999

★★★★★ Praise be to God. The owners of Cedarland would be glad to tell you where their meats and poultry are purchased. Eat with comfort as the owner is a Haj. Thank Allah for He is all knowing. Posted on June 15, 1999
