    What a lovely find! Back patio was so cute, service was amazing food was healthy & filling :)10/10 would recommend

    Chicken Shawarma Plate
    Steven R.

    Went to Cela Cafe last night for the first time very since my husband and I love Mediterranean food and are also trying to eat a bit more healthy. This place was absolutely phenomenal. Let's start with the service shall we. The two people working were incredibly helpful at helping us navigate the menu as well as providing some great suggestions. This is counter service but since we ate there on their patio they brought our food and even set real silverware and our plates down for us. Next let's talk about the ambiance. The interior is small but where this place shines is their back door patio. It's super cute, warm, and very inviting. The person working even turned a heater on for us. Lastly, the food. Omg delicious I had the chicken shawarma plate (pictured) and my husband had the beef shawarma plate. Both were amazing and very delicious. All in all, it was great experience and we will absolutely return.

    Absolutely loved Cela Cafe. This place is the real deal. The food is so good and genuinely authentic you can taste the care and tradition in every dish. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. What really made the experience though was the energy. The vibe was warm, welcoming, and full of life. My boyfriend and I came here and had an amazing time laughing, sharing plates, and just enjoying the moment. It felt like one of those places where food brings people together the way it's supposed to. If you're looking for authentic Mediterranean food with great vibes and an unforgettable group experience, Cela Cafe is it. We'll definitely be back.

    Stopped in after the Holiday in the Park event and it was the perfect place to wind down with good food. All of the team members are friendly and make sure you're comfortable and feel welcome. They recommended the chicken kebab plate and it was a good portion to share for two. We opted to sit in the patio section in the back and it was really nice to get away from all the busy-ness in the streets and have a secluded spot to eat. Staff were attentive to keeping spaces clean and bathrooms were very nice. They were also dog-friendly!

    This sweet cafe is in the heart of Magnolia Park and it is a must visit. The staff were so warm and welcoming. There is a variety of delicious items on the menu. But the best thing about Cela Cafe is definitely the ambiance. The outdoor patio is so relaxing. It's perfect for a solo lunch or a lovely group dinner. Highly recommend this spot.

    Love Cela! My go-to is the Falafel Wrap which is full of falafel, tahini, lemon dressing, cucumbers, tomatoes, and lettuce. The pickled veggies on the side are *chefs kiss*. Service is fast, so it's the perfect place to grab a bite quickly to go or on a quick work break. They have lovely seating indoors or a gorgeous courtyard outside in the back. Staff is so sweet and there are so many options on the menu, including vegan - of course. Love a solid spot for falafel!

    Shakshuka Eggs

    Always had their Lunch/Dinner and finally had a chance to stop for their breakfast menu. Fantastic Mediterranean espresso with some light cookies to start. Strong and just a small bit of sweetness (a no-sweet option is available). I had the Shakshuka eggs Very reminiscent of a Huevos Rancheros and honestly, this was so much better than any huevos rancheros I've had at any Mexican restaurant. Spicy (as requested) and very savory with the perfect easy/medium egg in a cast iron. I'd eat this every morning!! For the espresso alone in their outdoor covered back patio is cause enough for an early morning stop with my dog (yes - pet friendly!) to enjoy. I really do hope to see this place busier as the staff is some of the nicest people I've met. Located in a private area away from the busy Magnolia road, this is a nice place to sit and relax and enjoy good food at any time of the day.

    I had the Mediterranean Branzino

    Overpriced for small portions, rude people and service. So many other better options for Mediterranean food in the area.

    If you are looking for incredible Mediterranean food in the Valley, look no further. This place…read moreputs so much love into their food and you can really tell. Every single dish was packed with flavor. The beef and chicken shawarma were delicious, and the luleh and chicken kabobs were so tender and juicy. All of the sides and appetizers hit the spot! The hummus and baba ganoush were great, and they serve the best falafel I've ever had (super crispy on the outside, and not dry at all). I also tried grape leaves for the first time today and I'm actually addicted... On top of the phenomenal food, the owner, Silva, was such a sweetheart and kept checking in on us to make sure we were having a great experience. This is easily one of the best spots around. Highly recommend!

    Was a new customer coming here for the past month and a half today was very disappointing though. I…read moreplaced a takeout order and in the pictures it shows that they sell the hot peppers together with the chicken kebab platter when I asked for it because they never put it into the platter they charge me an extra two dollars. I don't mind paying extra, but if you're promoting it as a part of the dish, it shouldn't be charging me an extra two dollars and sadly today that the chicken was very small. Usually, it's a decent size.. it's unfortunate because something like this will cause me never to come back. I hope they learn from this..
