Cedars Grill

This is our favorite Mediterranean restaurant! It is casual and unassuming but the food is amazing! We come here after tennis tournaments but our son often requests it when we aren't in the area, but it's a bit far from our house in Tampa to come as often as we would like. Fresh, homemade, mom & pop place with friendly service. Be prepared to wait a bit as it's often just the owner taking orders, cooking, and serving food. Hummus - do not skip! So tasty and fresh, served with hot super thin pita breadFelafels - so light and crisp, and falls apart in your mouthWe always get the beef shawarma platter - the flavors are divine, and we often crave it so we haven't ventured to other entrees. Comes with 2 sides and we often get rice and salad which are the perfect complement to the meal. Don't forget the baklava - several kinds available - walnut, pistachio, and maybe pecan --very delicious ending to our meal!

The Yelp check in offer of a 20% discount is what brought me in the door. When I showed it to the cashier I was told they NO LONGER HONOR that discount. This is a classic example of bait and switch and cost them a star.I went ahead and ordered a Gyro Platter ($14.97 with tax) choosing 2 orders of fries for my sides. I got my order to go because I was not too keen on the cheap tables. The floor and tables were also sticky, but since a lot of businesses in the area are recovering from hurricane damage I decided that I would not hold that against them, which I consider generous because this may be the norm here.UPDATE: after reading some of the other reviews I came to the conclusion that the lack of cleanliness I experienced IS the norm. If the dining area is so filthy I shudder to think how bad the food prep area is. So take away another star.The only nice things I can say are The fries were nice and crisp, and The meat was plentiful, thick, and flavorful, and providing warmed pita pockets on the side is a nice touch. BUT The onions were practically nonexistent and the tzatziki sauce was NOT tzatziki, it was plain yogurt. Looking over the menu it says tzatziki in one place and yogurt in another. This cost them two more stars.This was my first visit, and I was not impressed by the service, the bait and switch, the cleanliness, and the lack of traditional gyro ingredients. Having earned only 1 star means I won't be back.

Ordered here from ubereats and was expecting a "whatever" sort of experience and I've never been more happy to be WRONG. It was the best meal I've had in a very long time, and stood out so much I just HAD to come write a review. First of all, you can tell the grape leaves are not pulled from a can but are made with love. Soft, seasoned, really great quality. Gyro was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. I was expecting something more chewy and was surprised with the quality. French fries it came with were excellent as well.Tabbouleh could have used a squeeze of lemon and falafel were a tiny bit greasy if I had to complain about anything. Would order both again in a heartbeat.Pistachio Baklava was lovely. Can't wait to try the other variety next time.All this to say, Cedars Grill, you have a new fan. Can't wait to order from you again!

We came Thursday after spending the day at the beach. We weren't sure if we wanted to stay as we the place doesn't look as clean as we hope so.The floor was so sticky!!! But we were hungry and decided first to order the veggie plate and the Cedars Mix Grill Plate.The food was good so we decided to order more. We ordered the grapes leaves, hummus, babaganoush and fried kibbeh.The fried kibbeh and baba ganoush were a big letdown. The meat in the kibbeh was bland and poorly cooked and the baba ganoush lacked flavor.Overall, the place has potential but they really need to improve the cleanliness of the floors

The food here was delightful and not a bad price! The service was pretty good too and it's a nice little place. I highly recommend the platters so you can get a good sampling of everything!

Got a pick up order so this will be a quick one.The shop is small and pretty basic but the flavors are big and unique.Food was tasty and the person who served us was friendly- we got a chicken shawarma, a gyro with feta and a gyro plate with basmati rice and baba ghanoush Last but not least a piece of pistachio baklavaAll the food was good and tasted very authentic "to my knowledge "I would recommend the gyro over the chicken shawarma unless you are well versed in the Mediterranean flavors, the gyro is amazingThe baklava was good not the best I've ever had but definitely tasty.Over allFood [7.6 / 10]Price: pretty cheap Vibe [4.3/10] is definitely recommend taking it to go- the guy working the shop was cool but that's really all they have going for it.

In town for work and ordered from Doordash. Got the mixed plate with chicken/lamb/kofta with salad and hummus. Also ordered tabouli. It was all very good!!! The tabouli is perfect, not too lemony and a ton of very fresh parsley. A lot of places demolish the parsley but not here, you can tell it is gently chopped. Hummus did not have too much tahini and had sumac on top that was great.

Delicious! Ate in on a Sunday night and food was great and always a great price. I will be ordering more from Cedars this year for sure!

And unassuming little shop, but the quality of the food is top-notch and the service is kind and friendly. I ate here three times and never even made it past stacking up appetizers. One day, I hope to make it back in to try the entrées. But the appetizers were so delicious. I couldn't stop myself from ordering several at a time. Don't let the outdoor façade fool you, this place is delicious!

I thoroughly enjoyed the hummus and chicken shawarma! I had a side of tzatziki which was very refreshing with the pita as well. My friend got a gyro that was delicious as well. The service was so wonderful, quick and great!! It is a small restaurant that had cool music playing. I loved it, it was just what I needed! Enjoy!
