Good Beef ghallaba with lentil soup and rice. They make it hot and fresh! Food was steaming hot when I opened take out box 20 minutes later. Nicely stir-fried. Friendly service. Good 50/50 split between content and rice. Lamb/beef had nice sauce to it - not dry at all. Rice was savory. Pita was standard. Garlic sauce not the best I had. Overall would return as it was a good amount of good Mediterranean food for the price.
My sister and I were in Sterling Hts to see Sarah Maclachlan in concert and we stopped here for lunch. It was a wonderful experience for both of us. Their lunch specials are a fantastic deal! We had the falafel and lamb sandwiches and both were fresh and delicious. We couldn't finish because we filled up on their amazing complimentary pita and garlic spread. We finished them after the show and they were still so good! Our server was so friendly and sweet to us, we loved him! And their customers are so friendly too. I would highly recommend Cedar Kebob to anyone living in or visiting Sterling Hts. MIchigan.
For 12$ you get a really good lunch special that you don't find at most places now, Everything is seasoned well, cooked perfectly with big portions, every time I've gone the cashier is nice as always with a homey ambiance surrounding the place. Some of the best Mediterranean you can get in Michigan!
I love the rice pudding there and I used to be really in love with their shawarma wraps but overtime it seems the quality has declined. They are not bad but also not my favorite thing anymore however for the price it's still worth it. Their service is always nice and fast which I do really enjoy. I never go in and sit down but the environment is quiet and quaint which others seem to enjoy.
A good hole in the wall Middle -Eastern restaurant. My go to for a quick schwarma and Greek salad.
The food at this business is literally so great!!! Ali is so kind to all customers come over to cedar kabob best food and delicious cedar kabob plate! Especially the shawarma! I love this business come over today!
Plentiful and delicious! Kefta was yummy! Baba Ganoush smokey and savory. ............................
I had a super falafel sandwich combo which came w either soup or salad and a drink- either bottled water or canned soda. I also added a piece of baklava for $1. What a delicious meal! The sandwich was about 8" long and filled w hummus and tabouleh. The service was fast as I waited for my food to be prepared. The restaurant is part of a little strip mall so there's parking and a moderate amount of seating. I would definitely come back here again.
Turn in from the light into the shopping center. Fattoush salad, large, no pita. A chicken gallaba, spicy, hummus, no rice, lentil soup and small salad (extra), two chicken kafta skewers and a spicy small hummus. The lentil soup so thick, it is a bit bland. It has rice in it too. Salads are good. Dressing is nice and slightly tart from the lemon. The romaine is nice and crisp and fresh and has a nice deep healthy green to it too. Their spicy hummus is nice. Has a hint of smokiness to it, it's different. The spicy chicken gallaba is okay. The chicken is over cooked. The chicken gallaba is $16.49. The hummus gallaba was an additional $3, thus $19.49. The two chicken kafta skewers are juicy and yummy. Nice seasoning and so moist. Service is good, food was good, except the dry chicken in the gallaba.
