CUSTOMERS TALK ABOUT DISHES WITH.. chickenmeat

comment_iconOpinions

I was looking forward to having this dinner with a group of friends but what a disappointment. The mixed starter was great, the mixed chicken shawarma was too salty. Both dishes arrived after a long time and the fries were slightly cold. Unfortunately the worst part was that when the bill came and I told the restaurant manager that the price shown on the menu for the starter was lower we had an argument and he eventually said that if I didn't pay the higher price someone else in my group would have to. I find that disrespectful considering that the error was on their menu (the price for the starter was not amended on the menu I got and even when I showed that to the manager the argument continued). Assuming I'm not going bankrupt for £5 extra charge and neither is the restaurant, a good customer service would have made a good impression on me and others. For this reason, the slow service and salt complaints within our group I won't recommend the place. There are other Lebanese restaurants nearby with fresh, tasty dishes and friendly staff.

Meet up with friends here tonight. Ambience was neutral. The could do with playing some upbeat music. The service wasn't great and waiter mixed up the order. They had only 3 types of cocktails, so not a lot of options. It appears that there might be only one chef on duty as the food took a long time to come out of the kitchen. The flavour was hit and miss. Many of the starters were tasty while the mains had issues with some. The lamb chops was overcooked and burnt. The fries were salty. Portion size was decent. Prices were reasonable. I think chef was overwhelmed with the orders from a large table, so food quality might be better if table was smaller.

Checked out Ceders, the Lebanese spot, and it’s quite the experience. They’ve got a mix of hard and soft drinks to choose from, hitting the spot. Now, fair warning, the bathrooms need a bit of extra care in the cleanliness department. Let’s dive into the good stuff – their chicken is a taste bud triumph, truly delicious. The hummus and falafel also hold their own in the flavor game. Downstairs has a few tables, but the real vibe is upstairs, creating a cozy atmosphere. Props to them for serving water in fancy bottles, adding a touch of class. Despite the bathroom situation, Ceders delivers a savory Lebanese feast with a charming ambiance.

It is a great local restaurant with fantastic food. Ordered a selection of hot and cold mezzes, 8 dishes between 6 of us. All were well presented and tasted wonderful. Thoroughly recommend this place, especially if you're going to the footie or rugby and fancy some decent food. Staff are friendly and very helpful in helping choose dishes. A definite must if you're up this neck of the woods.

A lovely little restaurant, with nice decor and ambiance. First time for me and my family trying Lebanese cuisine which we all very much enjoyed particularly the lamb. Wide menu selection with generous portion sizes and friendly staff. Parking was the only issue as it took me about ten minutes to find a spot not to far. Will definitely be returning.

We shared the mezze started and had baby chicken and the mixed shawarma and all were really tasty. Nice range of drinks, including the Lebanese wine and beer but most importantly the host was friendly, helpful with food recommendations and called a taxi for us when we were ill equipped in a downpour and with 2 dead mobile batteries. Had a really nice relaxed mid week meal and would certainly return and recommend, thank you!

*BEWARE* Every dish served here is a ready-made item found at Yours Supermarket. The Hummus, Kebbeh, Falafel, Labneh, Sabousek, Moutabal are all frozen/cold ready made food that the chef reheats. The chef further insults his customers by serving CANNED FOOD (sells them for £4-5). We were served CANNED vine leaves, they were disgusting, he didn't even bother to remove the fat surrounding them, he just cracked a can and placed it on a dish. The chef's "Foul Medames" is also canned.. you can go buy it now.. it's called ""California Garden Fava Beans Lebanese Recipe"".. costs 89p a can. Even the Kebabs are frozen! You can find them at yours Supermarket now. How is this guy still allowed to sell food I don't know.. but what I know is.. Cedars is a microwaving service for ready meals bought from Yours Supermarket, which they sell you for x10 of the retail price. This restaurant and its chef is an insult to middle eastern food. 0 Stars, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves.

We read the good reviews and had a delivery from here. Delivered close to the time expected....opened up and it all looked great.... ....but then the Halloumi sandwich....had a lump of meat *in* it :( Sorry, but that is unacceptable and immediately dropped a possible 4-5* for the lovely vine leaves & other bits - a restaurant simply cannot be serving meat to vegetarians :( That said, the lamb was a bit gristly and chewy. YMMV

A gem of a place. An impromptu dinner out and one of the tastiest we have ever had. We had four mezzos and a salad, all lovely and very reasonably priced. The chickens livers were extraordinary. Really different, with the pomegranate and lemon beautifully balanced. The home marinated olives with orange and lemon and garlic were light and refreshing. We will be going back and taking friends, it’s the sort of place you want to share with folks you know will appreciate it.

If I could give it no stars I would. Absolutely awful restaurant. Got dumped downstairs where it was freezing and filthy.. no cutlery or napkins or any form of life!!! Asked to move upstairs and and it was intact more cold! Was sat in my winter fur coat all evening.. starters came and it was cold.. warmed up and still cold. Then when we moved upstairs was told our mains were delayed as we hadn’t received starters when we had one person from our party received the remains of their starter when the mains came out.. the mains were ALL STONE COLD! and I’m not even joking they were was stone cold. Told the waitress and she shoved her finger in my chicken to check if it was cold!! So unprofessional! When the mains came back it was clear they had just been reheated when we were told we would get fresh new mains.. my baby chicken was burnt and frankly disgusting. Had no flavour and was dry. Absolutely awful experience from start to finish. 2 and a half hours we waited for our mains and even then it was awful. All the staff didn’t seem to care and were running around like headless chickens and was told were understaffed. Well frankly that’s not good enough, people work hard all week for their money and expect to have at least a decent meal and don’t even get that! DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!! The restaurant is like faulty towers well infact worse.

This is the second time I've been to Cedars and there definitely won't be a third. Everything is pretty bland, from the naff decor & music to the food which I had to spice up with their tasty hot sauce. Nibbles for 4 were miniscule but then starters and mains were substantial, if a little dull. Service from the younger waitress was friendly; the older lady might like to try a different career. There are quite a few other places in the area I'd recommend before you settle for Cedars.

Came here as a party of six on a Saturday evening and it was a really underwhelming experience. Not expecting Michelin star stuff but come on. Couldn't even do the basics. Main points:- 40+ minute delay in receiving our mains. - little to zero service or welcoming accommodation by the waitresses. - 3 of 6 mains were incorrect- A salad apparently consists of 14 shreds of lettuce (I counted haha) and a teaspoon of tomato chunks.- The shawarma is odd, definitely not fresh tasting (seemed oven cooked? Was weird)- Manager couldn't have really cared less, was a surly character and said that he knew they were understaffed tonight but didn't think to communicate with his staff or customers.- food in general was average, really nothing special at all. 90% of normal kebab houses do better meat.- given a dessert as compensation but it tasted like soap, was a bit of a joke really. Luckily plenty of other choice for this cuisine in Leicester.

The gluten-free tabbouleh starter is divine (and vegetarian). The service was excellent when we were there (24.02.2018). We were particularly helped by the staff in choosing our starters. The main course meats are (mostly) grilled and come as very generous portions. Things seemed to be very healthy. There are definite resemblances to both Turkish and Greek cuisines. Did I mention the Lebanese wine? Wow! For us, a great night out.

I visited Cedars about 2 years ago when it was located in the city centre. I was very disappointed then. Decided to give the restaurant another chance in its new location in Braunstone Gate. Once again, disappointed. Good points first: nice decor, easy to book a table, low price, nice hot coffees at the end of the meal. I also enjoyed the non alcoholic Lebanese fruit beer. So the drinks were fine. But the food was less than impressive. Unimaginatively presented, nothing special in terms of taste. Service not very helpful or friendly. We were quite cold too, even though we were dressed warmly in jumpers etc. If this had been a special occasion such as a birthday, anniversary - or even a first date! - I would have been very disappointed. Might be OK to pop in for a quick bite on your way home from work, but even then I think you could find better alternatives. I will not be going to this restaurant again.

Four of us decided to go out for dinner - with nowhere particular in mind. Remembering that the Cedars was newly opened, we opted for this.We had a lovely welcome form the owner (?), and chose our table. We were offered drinks which were delivered promptly, and we ordered sharing Mezes, followed by a shared meat platter. We also ordered a bottle of Lebanese red wine - at the lowest price on the menu.The mezes were delicious, with a great variety of hot and cold option, and the meat platter was simply lovely - not least because of the subtlety of the spices used in the marinade. Really - a step up form many of the local Turkish restaurants.The salad was fine, if a little over simple, to be honest, but it was fresh, and enjoyable.Huge portions left no room for dessert!All in all, friendly and professional, delicious food, LOVELY wine (Lebanese reds - a revelation!), great portions, and a surprisingly low bill. What a great night we'd had.

Thought we’d give it a try as it’s a fairly new eatery and they would probably want to put on a good show. Not the best choice! Management seem to bicker with each other so maybe all is not well. King Prawns do not come to the table as described in the menu and when pointed out, was told that they hadn’t seen this in 10 years of being open!! Insulting our intelligence to say the least. Ordinary cuisine, lots of bland salad. Avoid the draught beer. A ruined evening! Always been a fantastic building though!

Great food and great service.It was so good I went back the following week and it was fantastic again. We shared a meze and the food was wonderful, great flavours and spice, and more than ample quantity. We certainly weren't left disappointed.A welcome addition to Braunstone Gate/Narborough Road.

We enjoy middle eastern food and had a great time at Cedars at their new premises on Narborough Road. The food was excellent and service attentive. You have to try the chicken shawarma wrap (with a bit of chilli sauce).. it was amazing. Reminds me of the Lebanese restaurants on Edgware Road in London - delicious! Will be returning soon with friends and family.
