The best Mediterranean Middle Eastern Cuisine I have ever had - highly recommend it!! Very fast service and super nice people!!

Yall, this place is really good! My first visit and I told the guy I was thinking about the chicken shawarma or the gyro, he said the chicken shawarma so I went with that. And it was definitely the right choice for me. Filled with chicken, garlic, lettuce, pickles and it was yummy goodness. I ordered a side of fries, they weren't anything special, but they were made right as I ordered. My friend ordered the falafel sandwich and the Fattoosh side salad. The salad is pretty big and can be shared and the Lebanese dressing was light and refreshing. She enjoyed her sandwich. Everything was prepared to order and made right in front of you. You can order to go or eat in. Service was quick and the place got busy quick. They also serve breakfast, but I didn't see a menu for that. If you haven't visited please do! The place isn't huge, you seat yourself, we paid at the end of our meal. Will definitely return read more

4.5 stars! Such an awesome spot! We ordered the chicken shawarma, beef shawarma, and beef kebab platters. The portions were huge and everything was super fresh! There were four of us, and we split the three dishes and it was more than enough food. I would definitely recommended splitting a platter if that's your vibe. Everything was great--the food was very satisfying! The workers were so kind!! They made us feel so comfortable. The atmosphere was casual. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. I will definitely be back for a meal or takeout. read more

This food was so good so much flavor, very tasty, very generous portions. My first time here and for me, it was definitely a hidden gem. I can't wait to go back and try more menu items, I was very impressed with the food and the hummus was the best hummus I have had here in Memphis, the rice was really good too. Everything on my plate was great. Can't say enough about this place and they were nice as well. read more

Best in the city. If I could give them 10 stars I would. Food is wonderful, Staff is friendly and kind. They will explain menu items to you if you ask. Food is fresh, hot. Very clean read more

I absolutely love this place. My favorite is the falafel wrap. Also the baba ganush and hummus is awesome, and you can tell they make the flat bread fresh there. The desserts are incredible and even the fries are delicious. Also they have just done a lot of upgrades, it looks really good in there! And almost everytime I go in there the owner will talk to you, he is so nice. And sometimes he even gives me a free baklava lol. It's a great place with a good vibe. read more

I ordered service for Delivery. I ordered a gyro plate and only received one pita bread. I decided not to order extra pita bread because I read on the site that it came with 'plentiful ' pita bread. I just had to send my husband to the store to buy store-bought pita bread, which is delicious probably better than theirs if this kind of negligence happens often. I tried to call the number provided multiple times and either it is not in service or I was hung up on, the email is also invalid. I'm seeing no way to contact the establishment. It sounds like a small problem, but when it happens to you and you have multiple people to feed, trust me, it's not a small problem. The food is awesome, that's why I hate to leave a bad review. I just think this was kind of a big error. read more

Awesome find! Small, family-run Lebanese(?) restaurant. They were doing a brisk carryout business, but there are about 10 tables. Order at the counter, they bring it to you. Friendly and welcoming. I had kofta kebab plate. Two kofta skewers, hot, juicy delicious, rice, garlic potatoes, hummus, salad and garlic sauce, served with pita. Excellent, fresh and flavorful. $20 for dinner, not bad pricing. I travel to Memphis for work several times/year. I've seen Cedars before. I'm glad I chose to go here--a great find to add to my regular places to eat, here. read more

Delicious . We tried the chicken shawarma and beef kebab plates. All parts were done like we like flavor wise hummus, yogurt, tzatziki sauce etc. many others around Memphis over or under season. Meats were cooked perfectly. Portions are large enough for sharing. The only downer was the bread didn't taste great. Bland and very thin. $53.00 for 2 plates and 2 drinks. Would eat here again. read more

Delicious shawarmas, lamb chops, quick and friendly service, in a cozy environment. Good Mediterranean food!

Unbelievable food. I have little experience with middle eastern food with exception to Gyros. This place is a whole different level. Different for me being the key word because I tried dishes I've never had before. Highly recommend read more

I can't say enough good things about Cedars! Ashraf the owner is so kind and cares about his customers. He takes pride in the quality of the food and it shows. The Kabab plates are so delicious and healthy. It's impossible to eat here and be in a bad mood! I have introduced so many people to this place over the years and everyone of them is now a regular customer. Go today! You will be glad you did! read more

I wanted to book a special luncheon for our interviewing applicants traveling in and wanted something besides BBQ. I went and sat down with Ashraf at the Cedars restaurant in Cordova. We planned out the menu and he assured me it would be good and he would bring it himself and on time. He communicated when he was on his way and helped me set up this AMAZING lunch. Everything, and I mean everything was so incredibly good. Our applicants, residents, and faculty raved about it and asked over and over "Where is this from"? I encouraged them to go try it again. There was so much food and several took leftovers. I just ate some of the leftovers for lunch and it was just a good today!! 10/10 read more

Cedars Restaurant - Shawarma - Lebanese Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Quite possibly my favorite new (to me) restaurant we've tried this year! Our plates arrived stacked high with rich, flavorful meat, the greatest garlic dipping sauce, delicious hummus, and the widest variety of bright yet vigorously seasoned vegetables I've had in Memphis to date. Straight from the top of the pile, dragged through every sauce, or beautifully arranged with veggies in a pita, every combination I made with the beef shawarma was fantastic. And so plentiful, I enjoyed two lunches I looked forward to each day. The staff had great attention to detail and were very professional while also being more warm and welcoming than any I've come across in years. We can't wait to go back and bring our extended family! read more

Update - Food is still delicious. The owner/worker is still borderline rude, but in an indirect way. I repeat, the food is delicious! I suggest ordering and leaving to eat it elsewhere. read more

We ordered from this place for Sunday dinner. In a word: Tasty. In two words: Very Tasty. We really enjoyed their family plate, which really is enough to feed several families in my opinion. It looked really pretty also if you're into that sort of thing. Definitely an option if you like tasty food. read more

I stumbled on this restaurant by accident when someone else's DoorDash order was delivered to me instead of my own. I ordered Mexican and got Lebanese ordered instead! I'm glad it was though because I found a new fave! The beef shawarma plate is SO big that I get two meals from it! It's so flavorful and the garlic sauce is TO DIE FOR! Always get extra!!! read more

The food here is outstanding ! It's authentic Mediterranean food. I live thirty mins away from this place and will drive out here to get their food. I'm always greeted with the biggest smile and the service is great! I the ambiance is a small family owned restaurant but with big flavors. Always delicious! Can't wait to go back again haha! read more

I cannot say anything negative about the food; however, the manager apparently cannot count or is forgetful in preparing the food. I live an hour away from Cedars, but was in that area today and stopped to purchase TWO sandwiches. After driving ONE hour back to my home to feed TWO people, I discovered I had only ONE sandwich. When I called to report their negligence in not properly filling the order, I young gal answered the phone. No matter what I said or how I said it, she could not understand what I was talking about. I asked for the manager and was hung up on. After finally getting my call through again, the same gal came on and said she would make me another sandwich. I suppose she wanted me to make a two hour round trip to get the sandwich. I guess dinner will be sparse tonight. As I said, the food is great; however, they have now proven to me that they are not competent to fill an order. With that being the case, I probably will not return. read more

Everything was great. From the Hummus To the lamb and chicken dishes. The rice was flavorful. Had a large take out order and everything was packaged with care read more

The food is fresh and delicious. A large assortment of Middle Eastern dishes. I always get the Vegetarian platter. So many yummy veggie items all on one plate! They are friendly and you get your food quick. The restaurant is clean with an outside seating area for nice days. Definitely recommend. read more

SOOOOO GOOD!!! 10/10... my husband and I just moved to Hernando Ms and we drive to Cordova just to come here!! I wish they would open up a restaurant in Hernando!!! read more

The Cedars of Lebanon form the foundation of a good meal! Not much for atmosphere, but legitimately authentic Middle Eastern cuisine. I typically order the Vegetarian platter, which includes an assortment of classic dishes, including pita bread, baba ganoush (eggplant), hummus, potatoes, falafel, cauliflower, and dolmakathia (stuffed grape leaf wrap). A welcome harmony of flavors. Expect a vary casual, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. Order at the front and your food will be brought to your table. Then pay afterwards. The prices are moderate (about $15-20 per meal). A welcome change from barbeque or fast food prevalent in the area! read more

Went for a walk at Shelby Farms and then had an amazing and very substantial lunch at Cedars. Got vegetarian plate which looked even better than pictures and was delicious! Eggplant was next level. Got Turkish coffee which was perfect. The staff was super friendly and everyone working was hustling to make sure food was tasty and patrons were happy. Great family place with some outdoor seating for a nice day, which it was. Pita could have been better but covered with excellent food it didn't really matter. read more

Been here once before and it was good ... didn't review it back then. Decided to eat here again and it was very good. You order at the counter , limited menu. Place almost has a deli feel to it. Nothing sexy about the place but the food is very good, the service is good, people are friendly and portions are big. Was a very good experience. It's sort of a little hidden gem. Giving it 5 stars for what it is... read more

The Chicken Shawarma plate is amazing! Everyone I've encountered that works here are friendly. They recently upgraded the interior furniture and it looks great. I highly recommend Cedars! read more

Excellent! Best Middle Eastern food we have found since moving to the area four years ago. The gyro plate and steak kabob plates were very good! read more

My husband and I decided to try Cedars recently. Upon walking in, the front patio was covered in trash and garbage. We were the only customers at that time so not sure why someone hadn't cleaned it. It looked like garbage had been there a while. There was a faint smell of toilet deodorizer when we walked in so I was getting concerned but we were there so we trudged on. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The interior of the restaurant was clean. We were served our food in a timely manner. My falafel platter was delicious and I have no complaints. My husband had the chicken shawarma sandwich. He liked it but felt it was too heavily seasoned for his taste. Also, his potato's were cool and needed to be heated up. I'm on the fence about returning. While it was good, there are other restaurants,serving the same food, that are better maintained. I took pictures but didn't get the full extent of garbage on the patio because I didn't want to call attention to myself taking pictures. read more

We stopped in for a somewhat late lunch at Cedars and I must say I was impressed with both the service and the quality of the food. Since I had never been there before, I had asked what the man behind the counter would recommend. He gave me a sample of the beef schwarma, chicken schwarma and yhe gyro meat. All three were very good, but I ended up opting for the chicken shawarma. The plate, which was twelve dollars, offered a serious amount of food. I was impressed with both the quantity and, more importantly, the quality of the food. This dish would be something that I would recommend. However, next time I am there, I will probably try the gyro plate. All three of the meats are on Spitz slowly rotating and offered a very tender and juicy finished product. As I had said, anything you go with you really can't go wrong. I would definitely recommend this place. I will also say that I will be returning. read more
