At The Cedar Grill we take pride in offering some of the most amazing foods from Lebanese Cuisine. We offer our food at a lower price that one might imagine and provide top quality products. The Cedar Grill is a family restaurant, with an elegant atmosphere, affordable pricing, and a whole lot of authentic flavour. It has a menu, but if a customer comes in and wants something different, George will cook it up special.
If you are a hummus fan (and even if you’re not) this is a great appetizer to begin your meal with. Served with pita, this chickpea puree with sesame seeds, garlic, lemon juice and a touch of olive oil will be sure to whet your appetite. You could also dip pieces of pita in the ‘Baba Ghannouj’, a roasted eggplant dip that George himself makes daily. A favourite appetizer is the ‘Warak Enab’ (grape leaves). Stuffed with basmati rice and cooked in lemon juice, these are little bite-size pieces of heaven. Worht Sampling is the ‘Lubieh Bel Zeit’ (green beans simmered in tomato sauce, garlic and spices) and ‘Falafel’ (patties made from chickpeas and fried fava beans). If you want to turn your falafel into a meal instead of an appetizer, order the falafel sandwich.
You can be assured that the ‘Shish Ta’ook’ is “better then mom’s chicken.” This marinated chicken breast was grilled to perfection, and then served on a platter with rice, roast potato and a homemade garlic sauce. The Cedar Grill is also known for their Chicken and Beef Shawarma (marinated chicken or beef tenderloin thinly sliced and served in a pita with tahini or garlic sauce, onion and tomato). For people interested in the salad options, The Cedar Grill has two kinds of authentic Lebanese dishes ‘Tabouli’ (chopped flat parsley, mint, diced tomato, green onion, lemon juice, olive oil and a hint of cracked wheat), and ‘Fattoush’ (lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion and parsley seasoned with lemon juice, olive oil and sumac). The Cedar Grill has a liquor license, but also offers several non-alcoholic beers. ‘Laziza’ is a delicious, carbonated beverage; imported straight from Lebanon that comes in several flavours.
For dessert, there are a variety of options, including several cakes and ‘Baklawa’, a filo pastry filled with walnuts and pistachio, moistened with a light syrup and orange blossom.
