My wife and I had dinner here and enjoyed it. They offer a wide variety of Middle Eastern dishes. I was familiar with most of them but they had a few that I hadn’t seen before that looked good. My wife and I shared a few cold mezes and I had a chicken shawarma for the main dish. The food was very good. They used peppers in a few dishes which is unusual but we liked everything. The woman who owns the place served us and was very friendly and helpful. They don’t serve alcohol but you can bring your own. Recommended.

The best falafel, hummus and tabbouleh I have had outside the Middle East. Great ambience. The chef came to talk to every table. A small cosy welcoming family restaurant. Will definitely visit again . BYOB too.

We decided to give this restaurant a try because I am a vegetarian and Lebanese food has a great variety of vegetarian options. This restaurant didn’t disappoint. The staff are wonderful and greeted us warmly. The restaurant itself is small but very cosy with soft lighting and oozes charm and character. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes and as a vegetarian I was spoilt for choice. The food was delicious and also not having an alcohol license it is a bring your own bottle which makes the meal value for money. We were shocked how reasonable the price for all that is on offer served up by wonderful staff. Well worth a visit.

We booked a family birthday celebration in Cedar having been before and enjoyed the experience. However, when we arrived we were informed that our booking was not in the diary. Despite showing a record of the phone call the lady simply said 'sorry' and ushered us out of the door. I accept that booking do get lost. However her lack of sympathy or any sort of offer to come back on another time was quite shocking. This will be our last visit.

Booked at short notice. Our party of three had the tasting menu. The lamb was beautifully tender and the starter of hummus, cauliflower, vine leaves and falafel with salad was perfect. Staff are polite and helpful. Great spot.

This was the first time at Cedar, and I was unfamiliar with Lebanese cooking. I was not disappointed. The meze to start was a great introduction of different flavours, the food was light, fresh and flavoursome. The main courses of a crunchy salad and a Lebanese 'meatloaf' was great with an aromatic rice. I would definitely try again!!

A very classy restaurant. Excellent food - the mixed meza starter option is great value & beautifully presented. All the starters chosen were delicious, with a special shout out to the stuffed vine leaves which rarely wows me but did here, the fattoush and mun jad dra. Mains were also very good, the shawarma particularly so. It’s BYO, which also helps make it an excellent value for money experience. Service was relaxed, friendly, and well paced throughout. All in all, a delight.

We were a party of three for the taster menu on a Wednesday evening. The restaurant has a capacity of 20, and there were 15 diners at the 7pm sitting. They offer three sittings a day, for 90 minutes. It’s a “bring-your-own” restaurant, and they charge only £2 for corkage. The taster menu is simply superb! And perfect for sharing They brought us pita bread with hummus, tabbouleh and stuffed vine leaves. The warm starters were falafel, beef in filo pastry, and the most delicious roast cauliflower. The mains were skewers of lamb, beef and chicken, served with rice, salad and patata harra (potatoes shaped like crisps in a delicious sauce). Dessert was baklava served with some fresh fruit. The full menu looks and sounds very appetising, and the taster menu would whet your appetite to visit to sample more of these luscious Lebanese dishes.

I went here with my daughter one evening after some shopping. It was her first time and my third time. We both had really delicious food. My daughter is a vegetarian and was happy with the excellent selection. My favourite was the baked okra- really tasty and she loved the halloumi salad and the baklava for dessert. We started with the selection of hot and cold mezzanine. Fab idea to taste a small amount of 5 dishes. Then we had a larger dish of our choice. Also it’s byo which is an excellent idea with a small corkage charge. Worth it. I can’t say enough about how fab this place is and can’t wait to go back again for my birthday - in October . The service is excellent too.

Had always planned to try this Lebanese restaurant but only got round to it this week. It is as nice change from the usual Derry restaurants many of which serve the same type of dishes . The owner served us and he was very helpful friendly and welcoming. We opted for the £30 set menu as we were unsure what to order ,not being familiar with Lebanese dishes . It was very good especially the cold and hot mezze starters. The main dish of mixed meat skewers was less interesting .Plate of dessert selection was very small but the baklava was amazing . We did enjoy it all but it was expensive at £30 each for what we got. We will return and order from the menu now that we know the dishes we like . It's great that you can bring your own wine or beer. It would be a perfect restaurant for vegetarians and vegans .

What a great family run restaurant. Food superb and all freshly cooked. We visited on Thursday evening after the golf at Portrush, it was so good we booked again for Friday night. We were not disappointed, the food was excellent, the staff so friendly and the setting cosy. We chatted to many diners and everyone commented on how good the food was. Family run business, mum, dad, son & daughter, we met both mum & daughter, both were lovely very friendly and looked after us attending to all our needs. The restaurant is not licensed but not to worry there, the waitresses will point you to the nearest off licence so you can enjoy a tipple of your choice for an extra cost of £2/person. Alternatively you can have soft drinks or tea and coffee.

If anyone is in Derry they should treat themselves to a meal here. I really like Lebanese food and have it as often as I can. This is not only the best Lebanese food I've ever eaten, I can't remember when I had a more enjoyable meal. Absolutely. Outstanding.

My wife and I had dinner which was of the highest quality. The genuine Lebanese menu is varied. My wife is coeliac which was not a problem for the chef.

Fui anoche Servicio y comida excelente. Hemos estado varias veces antes y nunca hemos tenido una mala comida, pero por razones que no podemos entender, la comida de anoche fue la mejor de todas. Destacaría el Baba Ganoush por una mención especial. Las berenjenas eran ultra ahumadas anoche, ¡exactamente como nos gustan!

Having been brought up in the Middle East, I've been searching for good Arabic food in the UK - Cedar delivered. Everything we had was delicious and perfectly cooked. Staff were very friendly and professional too.

Recogido en otras críticas de Cedar y decidí probarlo. Estaba realmente contento! ! Deliciosa comida y un amplio menú: fue muy difícil elegir, pero los falafels fueron excelentes. Además, el servicio fue de primera clase, cálido y muy útil. Definitivamente vale la pena una visita.

Nous n’avions pas une grosse faim, envie d’un dîner léger, nous avons simplement pris quelques mezze. Ils sont délicieux. On a complété par des baklavas formidables. J’ai vécu au Liban et j’ai retrouvé ce soir les saveurs de la bas. De plus, la patronne est vraiment adorable.

He estado en Cedar ahora unas 5 veces, pero lamentablemente no creo que vuelva. Tomé algunos amigos que estaban visitando a Derry, estaban entusiasmados por probar los diferentes sabores. Nos sentamos y nos presentaron con el menú. El menú no ha cambiado en todo el tiempo que llevo allí, es extremadamente extenso y difícil de elegir, por lo que generalmente terminas yendo por el mezze. Pedimos una selección de entrantes y luego platos principales. Los entrantes estaban bien, baba ganoush excelente como siempre. Sin embargo, pensé que todo sabía igual. Nuestros platos principales de nuevo estaban bien, pero no genial, todo era un poco soso y no chispeante con sabor como solía hacerlo. No parece haber mucho de un menú de postres a menos que te guste Baklava. El restaurante estaba tranquilo para una noche de viernes, solo otra mesa y nosotros alrededor de las 10 pm. Habíamos traído vino que no estaba terminado, aunque habíamos terminado nuestra comida y uno de nosotros estaba tomando té de hierbas. La camarera seguía viniendo y limpiando más cosas de la mesa mientras estábamos terminando el vino, fue un claro indicio de que deberíamos irnos, me sentí bastante incómodo. Mis amigos son muy viajados y bastante 'foody'. Quedaron decepcionados por la falta de autenticidad y sabores. Todavía me sorprende que Cedar siga siendo el número 1 en Derry. La ciudad está llena de lugares nuevos, emocionantes y aventureros para comer. Si Cedar quiere mantener su lugar, tendrán que mejorar su juego un poco.

Had afternoon tea here on Thursday. Booked the Derry Girls tea and was very dissapointed that although the afternoon tea is still advertised with the "Michelle Duck" it no longer comes with one. We especially booked a stay at this hotel to avail of this so it was a shame.

Doorman was very nice explaining there’s a quiet area and a loud area. Both places are lovely. They also have a garden. I didn’t get to try the food but will have to check in for next time
