Reviews for Cedar Palace in Chicago, IL
Cedar Palace is hands down the best Mediterranean restaurant in Chicagoland. There is no food as fresh or tasty, no atmosphere... as cozy or welcoming and no staff as kind. The staff at Cedar Palace truly makes you feel like family and they always love tohear about your experience. The food is cooked fresh by Silvana and her family every day and I’m telling you this food is toDIE for! Thank you to the entire staff for welcoming me, treating me like family and giving me a second home away from home.Until next time! Read more
A hole in the wall on Lincoln Park’s W Armitage Ave, this Middle Eastern restaurant serves exceptionally tasty, flavorful,... affordable food. A friend and I stopped by on Saturday for lunch and it wasn’t too crowded— only 2 other parties seated.The interior is pretty small and intimate and the tables seat 2-4. The decor is cohesive and tidy. I ordered the Shish Tawooksandwich and shared a bowl of french fries for the appetizer. The Shish Tawook sandwich was so delicious: the chicken breastwas extremely tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. I was a also big fan of the sandwich wrap: it was so crispy andwell-toasted, and overall really added to the freshness of the entire sandwich and eating experience. The sandwich prices arereasonable and affordable too— $10.99 for such a well-sized sandwich. The fries were also great and had excellent texture.they had a really crispy exterior while maintaining a warm and fluffy interior. The service was quick and friendly, and you payat the front counter after you’re done (just a note that credit cards have a 3.5% surcharge). Overall, I highly recommendthis spot for a quick, casual, affordable lunch. I will for sure be back to try the other items on the menu— they all lookedso good, it was hard to choose! Read more
We are visiting from Texas and decided to stop in Cedar Palace to get a bite to eat. We were greeted with friendly staff that... made us feel like family. We placed an order for some hummus, they brought it out right away. The pita bread and hummus wereexcellent! We placed our order and I got the Lunch Combination plate. It was amazing!!! For dessert we ordered some of theBaklava. It was delicious! Cedar Palace is a must try place to eat! Read more
Delicious, authentic Lebanese food. The garlic sauce was a perfect accompaniment to the tender shish tawook chicken. The beef... kibbeh appetizer was certainly handmade in-house and it showed in the taste. Read more
Such an amazing place! Honestly some of the best, most authentic, middle eastern (Lebanese/ Syrian) food I’ve ever had in... Chicago! The staff and owner (Silva and her family) are so kind and welcoming! They treated us like family! We will definitelybe back soon! Read more
I didn't even finish eating before I wrote this review. That's how good this place is. If you find yourself craving some... Lebanese food, this is the perfect option. I was treated like family from the moment I walked in. Everything was perfectlyprepared. I left in a much better mood than when I came in. Plus, once their patio is back up and running, it is the perfectweekend spot. Do yourself a favor, and get in here. Read more
