The Cedar in City of London, Westminster

So good to have authentic manakeesh in London. This is my go to place for Levant food and I love that I live near by. For best results, call them directly and place an order and pick it up - you get the food fresh and hot. Also prices are more reasonable than other places doing the same thing (still about 4x prices back home but this is London).

The moutabal (aubergine) was expired - literally had to spit it out as tasted awful and was clearly off and had to throw in the bin. The poor driver (not his fault) had a flat tire so the delivery was more than 1h late and I had a whole family hungry

Clean restaurant . Friendly staff .. food was amazing thank you

Appreciate your response, but why did you charge me £81 when the check was for £71? The check was for £71 but got charged £81 on my credit card. Furthermore on the check they charged me twice for the same item, which I noticed and received a cash refund. Still this does not seem to be a coincidence and overcharging customers on the credit cards is not acceptable. Be careful!!

The food is amazing I recommend this restaurant

Love this place! Delicious food and I appreciate that they add pickles and pita to the dishes. Best tabbouli too!

Friendly staff and very tasty food very nice

Food not as used to be. They changed the chef. I’ve order a meal to eat in but the smell were disgusting so I had to refuse it and I order another meal. To my surprised they charged me twice at the checkout, although the first meal were a mess and didn’t touch. Quality of food and hospitality downgraded. Will never go back again.

Amazing place, lovely people and fantastic food. I had the aubergine stew that was so flavourful, others had lamb and chicken that was great too. Much recommended!

I love the food and have ordered probably 20+ times over the last two years! Particularly enjoy the fattoush, falafel and houmous. BUT I have found it annoying recently how drastically smaller the portion sizes for the salads are getting- when I first ordered fattoush/greek salad came in these large round boxes which was a delicious and filling meal and then they switched to smaller plastic boxes which I was dissapointed by but ultimately ok with…and then on my most recent order on Friday I literally laughed as there’s a new plastic box which has halved the size!

The food is really good and the service friendly. The meat and humus are memorable. I will be back to try the other dishes. The environment is calm and you can relax.

Fresh food and nice people I really recommend

Good delivery man, waited a few minutes when I was late for pickup

I’ll get right to the point! The meat was so bad and underwhelming, arrived cold and you can tell the quality was really bad, from a very old cut. We informed the staff, so they took the meat and reheated it, which made it even worse. The hummus was ok at best, too grainy & overly lemony, no balance. The tabbouleh salad was fine, hard to get that wrong. Bill came to £53 with drinks. Money not well spent

Review: Disappointing Experience for the Price I recently ordered from this restaurant, and to say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I paid £10 for what was supposed to be a portion of hummus, but what I received was an unbelievably small serving. The price compared to the portion size is just unreasonable. For £10, I expected a generous amount—especially for something as simple and affordable as hummus. Instead, it felt like a half-hearted effort, and it definitely wasn’t worth the money. This restaurant seriously needs to reconsider their pricing or improve their portion sizes if they want to keep customers coming back. Overall, not worth it, and I won’t be ordering again.

Nice food excellent food quality

I was delighted by the delicious and fresh food from this reputable establishment. The waitress was attentive. She looked after the children who were making a huge fuss Thank you again for the great service!

Authentic lebanese food - very tasty

I come to the Kensal Green branch regularly. The staff are very professional and service is superb. Food is always freshly cooked, and the portions are huge! I always have leftovers to take home I have tried quite a few things on the menu as well as dropping in for a coffee.

Delicious falafel wraps at great price thank you!! Lovely calm restaurant we loved eating here will be back♥️♥️♥️

I am extremely disappointed and alarmed by my mum's experience at The Cedar. My mom ordered a simple carrot juice, and within minutes of drinking it, she had a severe allergic reaction, due to some traces of something in the blender - her throat blocked up and she found it hard to breathe! This kind of negligence is UNACCEPTABLE, especially when it comes to food allergies, which can be life-threatening. We had to rush my mum to the A&E because of this mistake. this is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Have only used on Deliveroo but consistently good, especially the Farrouj Grilled Baby Chicken

Worse food ever! Don't waste your money! There must be a reason why it was empty !

Great food, amazing service and you feel like you're there overseas. It's amazing how they can bring all the experience right here in London. Authentic Lebanese food. There are vegetarian options as well and freshly squeezed juices which I recommend. Free parking on the weekends and also a short walk from Queens station.

Amazing food and very good service too - mixed grill and zaatar bread was the best I’ve had in a long time

Food was very good and it came decently fast

The Cedar used to be the best Lebanese restaurant in west London. When they first opened, their food portion sizes were very generous and pricing could not be beaten. However over recent years, as they have expanded to 4+ restaurants, the quality of management of each restaurant and the quality of the food produced by each has lowered drastically. At this point, sadly, we are ordering from other restaurants as we cannot count on a good experience from The Cedar any longer. To the owner: I told you this would happen years ago but you didn't take my advice. I told you to keep the portion sizes the same and resist increasing prices. Maybe you would have 20+ restaurants now if you did. Oh well, on to the next. EDIT in response to owner comment: You must be joking, your prices have gone up twice and are now nearly double what they used to be for wraps. And your standards have definitely dropped, look at the other reviews. Also, the person answering the phone at your 'express' branch can't speak English. Go and fix your restaurants instead of replying back to reviews with arguments.

Ripping off people lately ! I’ve been ordering from this restaurant for 6 years. Myself and my husband must’ve ordered from this place 100+ times in 6 years however, lately, the service has gone down drastically and prices have gone up to ridiculous levels. On top of this, food portions have gotten smaller. Last week, I ordered food that amounted to £35 yet when the delivery man showed up, he charged me £45. So it’s £10 for delivery?? Seems excessive! Also, prices on their regular menu have become significantly more expensive than other similar restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, it’s just not worth it anymore.

They sent the rice in a plastic container. This is the first time they’ve done this they used to always send the rice in a metallic container. Hot food in a plastic container will leach the plastic into the food and is toxic. Standards now Too low!

I’ve been ordering and eating in at the Fernhead Road Cedar for almost ten years. It remains to me the best Lebanese restaurant in the area. Always take friends and family for a relaxing, enjoyable meal. Quality of the food is high, it tastes delicious and the portions are very big! Great service too.

Rude staff , just good for take away .VERY VERY RUDE STAFF .

Fantastic meal. The hummus Shawarma and Kibbeh were especially delicious. Will definitely go back next time I'm in London.

I usually don't write reviews, but after I ate there 3 times I had to. Such an excellent food, large portions, good prices, friendly stuff. If you're hungry- that's the place. Highly recommend.

Classic old school local restaurant serving outstanding Lebanese food.

The food was very tasty and authentic. Special plus for the huge portions and reasonable prices! We especially enjoyed the grilled halloumi and falafel. The owner was very generous and gave us some free pita bread and olives to go with the meal. They also do a mean fatoush salad!

They recently upped the prices on their items. Also the owner is blatantly being deceitful in replies to some other reviews. I have receipts from months ago that show prices have gone up. Ive made like a 100 orders but i dont think ill be ordering any more

The shish kabab is the best the uk, we come from Manchester just for these delicious food

Good and tasty food, friendy service

One of our favourite restaurants. Always great quality and good pricing.

Ok. Quite salty, meat could have been juicier and less-mossy. Bread didn't feel homemade, quite thick, manufactured-feel white pita. Great service and v cheap- without alcohol you’d get plenty for £20 per head.

I like the food lot best food in UK 👏

Fantastic experience lovely food and great value

Incredible food! Highly recommend, a hidden gem. We had incredible service and truly enjoyed our experience. Thank you!

We’ve ordered from them for YEARS and they always have delicious quality food, big portions, fresh made bread/veg/sauces. My fave is lamb or garlic wings 😍

Just excellent food, no more no less, incredibly delicious! Portions were quite big! Child-friendly staff and cosy authentic atmosphere!

It's the first time we've been to a Lebanese restaurant. Wow! Just Wow! The two ladies who served us were lovely. The food was amazing, and it just kept coming. Homemade lemonade that was, sorry to repeat myself, but wow! It's a small restaurant, but Uber/Just Eat delivers seemed to be going out continuously. How the chef managed with them, the party and us I don't know. Full credit to everyone concerned. We highly recommend that you visit here if near by

Bump in by chance, it was great. Will definitely be back again

I like the food. And the stuff so lovely 100%

Really great food, super good quality and very reasonable prices. Had a lovely nice with friends with great service.

Top food Top service We’re here every week!

Great food, lovely service. 1st time I tried, I will be back !

It's good, but it could have been better.

Ordered a grilled chicken. Was very dry and old chicken and no effort was made to the dish. Chips were old and dry and not fried properly. Rice was served in a bowl. Only soup was good. Very disappointed and the staff did not care and said this was ‘normal’. Me and my family won’t come here anymore.

Excellent cuisine. The dishes are plentiful and at honest prices. I recommend eating at this Lebanese restaurant in London.

Been a long standing customer, but over the past few visits the quality of the food has gone downhill, the taste, the way it’s made/prepared especially the falafel wrap this time was a joke, not much salad or sauce. I know how they used to make these having had it several times over the years. Not up to the usual standards I came to know from The Cedar. The workers haven’t got a clue, the kitchen chef was cleaning the floor with a broom and without washing his hands proceeded to make my order. I had to inform him that he should first wash his hands. Anyway the food was tasteless and a disaster. I regret going there. I will not be returning to buy from this place again. You have lost customer of many many years!

Cannot recommend this place enough. The three of us had planned to get our own dishes and just share a couple, but everything was so amazing we had to try it all. The Tabouleh and Fattoush salads were unreal, the falafel was the best I’d ever had, and the hummus Beiruty was lovely. The whole meal all we talked about was about amazing the food was. We also had a large glass of house wine each and ended with espresso martinis, alongside our 7 dishes, for just under £30 each!!! AND they bought us free baklava to end the meal. Amazing value, especially in London. The staff were lovely and the service was prompt. It was so good we even went back for takeaway the next day. I could live off your food!!

We had dinner in the West Hamsted branch. Amazing food and service. Flavours of Lebanon in London. The food is very delicious. One of the best Lebanese restaurants. We will be back soon!

Delicious food, wouldn't order from anywhere else. Healthy and generous portions with extra pickles bread.

Delicious, great portion, and great price

My delivery order was missing half the items.

Half my delivery order was missing. If you plan to receive everything you order, I'd try somewhere else. :(

I’ve ordered takeaway from here for over ten years. The food is always tasty and great and like others have said the portions are generous.

Food was fabulous, especially the lamb. Good veggie options too! Tabbouleh and the aged cheese mezes were fresh and huge portions. Our server Lamia was just lovely, efficient and a delight. Highly recommend.

Really nice Lebanese food and friendly staff. The meal came with fresh pita (maybe homemade?) and they gave us some baklava to take home as well. Both were very good! We had the Moutabal, Soujouk and Lahme Armanieh and ended up not having room for a main meal so will definitely be back soon to try more of the dishes 😋 Very reasonably priced as well

Perfect an delicious as always1

Good cuisine, the products are fresh and of good quality, the service is pleasant and the value for money is undeniable. I highly recommend.

It was very delicious. Great people and the atmosphere is beautiful. We can highly recommend it. It was very delicious. Great people and the atmosphere is beautiful. We can highly recommend it.

Paid for 2 500ml water, twice, so that should be 4 500ml waters. I received 2 330ml waters.

Here is the thing: we used to order every week, and each time the food was perfect... the bread, the garlic sauce, the kebabs - all of it, just perfect. However, for a while now, it's been a real hit and miss, some days, it's still as good as in the old days, but more often than not we are not happy with the quality. Taking a break from ordering here, will try again in a while hoping that the consistency returns!

Relatvely disappointed this time. Quite tasteless and noithing overly noteworthy about the flavours or tatses. Didnt seem overly fresh but the restaurant were lovely and adhered to my notes request. Only thng that really pinged of flavour was the garlic dip unfortunately.

I always order from here and the food is to die for !

Food was good but two issues for 24 pound i'd expect more rice received not much rice maybe about 4 or 5 tablespoons of cooked rice which was disappointing also a little more garlic chilli sauce would have been nice instead of the tahini sauce.

Perfect as always I wouldn't order from anywhere else.

Haven't really dined in but their take away food is great, excellent value.

Great place to come for some traditional Lebanese food. Good portions and delicious

Great food, cosy place, and friendly staff

Today the chicken liver was very dry and the kunafi can’t even taste it in the bread it’s very small piece if your portion is that small then serve it with out the bread at least.

We love the food from this restaurant and it has never disappointed us.The frilled meat is very tasty and juice and I like that they are also grilled onions and tomatoes included.The lebanese pitta breads are always very fresh.Today the staff included some baklava for us as a treat.Thanks for being so amazing 👏

I usually order online and the food is always good. I wanted to eat at the restaurant today and the food was amazing. Generous portions and authentic taste. The Lebanese Foul dish is excellent here and the Balila. Try the Sujuk with eggs but only of you are eating at the restaurant, egg dishes are usually better when it's still hot.

This restaurant is a gem! I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed; it’s a true delight!

Extraordinary restaurant, which offers dishes cooked with obvious love. The mezze are incredible and full of flavor. As for the service, it is of rare kindness. Magnificent experience! ❤️

Magnífica experiencia. recomendable 100%. estuvimos comiendo toda la familia. toda la comida estaba buenisima y muy abundante.

Magnífica comida y el personal súper agradable. Solo puedo hablar bien de este sitio. Toda la comida recomendable!!! El humus increíble y el pan recién hecho el espectacular.

Most popular place for a great Lebanese breakfast. All fresh food and baked bread. Truley authentic.

Been having breakfast at this place since 2017 still amazing never changed. Best fresh Lebanese food. Highly recommended.

Genuinely the best Lebanese food we’ve ever had. The bread were so freshly cooked and smelled amazing. Hummus was incredible and the lamb was delicious. Price was amazing for the portions. Cannot recommend it more highly to anyone.

The food was amazing, took me back to the true authentic taste of Lebanon. And the service was exceptional, to say the least

Excellent food as always and very polite delivery driver. Thank you all.

I had dinner Best food in london everything nice

The Cedar restaurant is very delicious. Came here for a night dinner with my friend very enjoyable, wonderful cabbage, and my shish wrap was fantastic. Will return again how lovely thank you so much for the additional touch of the baklava very enjoyable at the end!!!!

Very good value with generous portions and some unexpected extra bread. Really enjoyed, will order again.

Order was short an item request for credit denied and subsequent delivery was an hour later; it was supposed to be appetiser Very poor service and make good

Great restaurant. Felt at ease and were served as soon as we walked in. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. You get good portion sizes so we had to take some things home, and they were happy to answer any questions we had. Will definitely come back to try more!

I have ordered again recently and have no complaints ! Food is as good as it was when it first opened :)

The food never varies and I always buy from them and always will. Thank you Cedar.

the white slavic attendant attacked an Uber driver who went to collect food on a bankholiday sunday

food was pretty bad. I wouldn’t recommend it, ended up not eating it - the people were nice though.

Hands down truly one of the tastiest Lebanese in town. Staff are always so kind.

Super bon on était 4 les plats ont fais l’unanimité je recommande et on reviendra si on repasse dans le coin ! Le mixed shawarma !

Delicious food and great service. I was expecting a good meal based on a recommendation but this was above and beyond. Well done!!!
