They were super knowledgeable about what was gluten-free and suggested great substitutions so I could still get some protein (since many GF options are meat-based). The owner let me know that this location has a separate gluten-free fryer -- something she personally added to avoid cross-contamination for items like fries. She mentioned this isn't standard at all Mezza locations, so it's worth checking ahead. She even brought out the ingredient list for the spicy fry coating to confirm it was safe. Everyone was so friendly, helpful, and aware -- we felt really looked after. Definitely coming back!

You can see the partial kitchen through the front counter and a man was busy cooking, with a large doner kebab slowly spinning. For me, this was all promising. There were enough people coming in for take outs, mostly doner I'm guessing it's easier for people to eat when they are running around or busy. There was a young man manning the counter and he also was a server. He was polite and helpful. We really enjoyed the food! I am from Philadelphia, and we go crazy over a Lebanese restaurant, Saad's (esp in West Philly). I am going to say something that will get me attacked. This Maple Cedar exceeded Saad's! The flavour was spot on, nothing was greasy, everything tasted fresh. If I lived here I would probably eat here often.

One of the benefits of living in your hometown for the first time in basically 20 years is that you…read moreget to try out the restaurants you don't have the chance to on quick visits when you're mostly hitting hold favourites (re. stuffing my face full of Pictou County-style pizza). When my wife and I found ourselves looking for a quick dinner on early on in the week when fewer restos are open, we made our way over to Maple Cedar. Having come from Ottawa, which in addition to being the national capital of the country is also the shawarma capital, it was a bit weird how few shawarma places there are in the area. The menu leans in a mostly traditional Middle Eastern direction, although they do have pizza, donairs and garlic fingers too. We went with the shawarma ($15) and falafel platters ($15) for dine-in. It was nice to see a flow of customers, despite it being a Tuesday, and our food was in front of us in good time. My shawarma platter had thick pieces of chicken on top of a bed of savoury rice. I would have liked to see a mix of white and dark meat and some crispy bits, but it still had a nice, rich flavour and was moist and tender. Of note, the garlic sauce had more of a aioli-like texture than toum normally does. It tasted fine, but this would anger Lebanese friends of mine. The falafel platter had a generous serving of eight of the crispy chickpea fritters. The platter's composition made it a sort of build-your-own wrap, with sides of tomato, shredded romaine, pickled turnip and tahini with pita. We found the tahini a bit bland, but the falafel were spot on and not at all greasy. A container of baklava ($10) that we took home was flaky, savoury and sweet, and had the most noticeable flavour of orange/rose water I've ever had in baklava. On a return visit, I went for something quick and easy to-go, the large shawarma wrap ($11). After a short wait after a few others, I had my shawarma and classily ate in my car. It had a lovely and crisp exterior from the griddle/sandwich press, plus more traditional ingredients than most shawarma places - chicken, toum, pickled turnips and the clincher - fries. No salad in these bad boys! If they had a better toum, it would be a front runner for the best shawarma wrap that I've had in the province. Maple Cedar may have a broad menu to appeal to a smaller customer base that's less familiar with Middle Eastern food than big markets, but they're still doing right by their culinary origins.

Cozy Lebanese eats in the heart of the city. My fav order is the chicken shawarma wrap (get it grilled!!! ... you have to ask for this specifically) and I always upgrade to split the side to have the Lebanese rice + either fires or salad. The Mjadara lentils & carmalized onion + Fattouche salad is an awesome vegan option here and the fries are always a delight (although $10 for the side of zaatar fries is kind of expensive considering its such a small serving). Def check out cedars!

Delicious Middle-Eastern food in Charlottetown, PEI…read more There are 2 "Lebanese"-style restaurants in this town. We tried them both. Loved the Zaatar appetizer and the oven-baked hamburger, the chef's creation for a recent hamburger festival. The meat was deliciously spiced, generous, and served on a nice bun with lettuce, tomato, and a delicately spiced yogurt-based sauce. Raita? If you like some pink in the center of your hamburgers, you will be disappointed on this island. The law REQUIRES that ground meat be fully-cooked. (Well-done.)

He was super loud yelling on the phone we could barely talk to each other while sitting across from one another, when the food came out we barely got even 2 bites down before we felt the need to have to ask for a takeout dish and throw it out outside the restaurant, the food was undercooked and not made at all how we ordered it. The best part of the food was the drink which was a little ADL bottle of chocolate milk. The restaurant itself looked very run down like he hasn't had anyone come in a long time and like he wasn't expecting anyone to come anytime soon. Unsure how it is still in business, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
