Finally dragged my boyfriend here a year after being introduced to this place by a local. I didn't expect him to fall in love with it! He said that - while he's eating a lot of chicken shwarma in Montreal - this beats every one he's every eaten his whole live. We actually ended up going there for lunch and returning for dinner. One of the staff, whom I believe may be the owner, was so flattered he gave us a plate of baklava! What a treat and what service! read more

Great authentic Lebanese food with great service. Platters are really generous and always get the spicy sauce

Came here for lunch during a business trip and was surprised how delicious their chicken shawarma with spicy sauce is! This is definitely one of the better places in North Bay and I recommend anyone visiting this area to try it out :) It was so good, that I decided to come here twice. read more

The Cedar Tree Restaurant - Chicken shawarma here is delicious! - Lebanese Near Me - North Bay, Ontario

This is my favorite place hands down! Their food is to die for and I love the Lebanese music they play and the owner and staff are great they treat you like family even if it's your first time going in there. Definitely need to try if you've never been!!! read more

Excellent food, very fast for pick up orders. I have never heard of someone complain about their food except for the time that I complained that I wanted more. I am less adventurous than some but love to stick to the chicken shawarma combo. Their salads are also yum. read more

We only do takeout from this restaurant as we seem to be too busy to visit but WOW!!! They deliver quality tasty food. We ordered two chicken shawarma platters. 2 choices of sides. I chose hummus and veggies, other half rice and hummus. it also comes with s salad and pita. The garlic dip stuff is heavenly!! A lot of food so leftovers if you're not super hungry!! Price is reasonable. read more

I ate in here last year and wow the portions were amazing with the platter, real portions. And extremely delicious. I cannot explain just how disappointed I was when I ordered them off skip when I saw they were available. The portions were so tiny, the meal just looked so sad. The doner kebab I could was a just a couple slices of meat just sadly laying there looking and tasting so dry. My friends chicken platter was the same, he actually couldn't even finish the chicken because it was so dry. My guess is to keep costs low they just keep the meat frozen and warm it up for orders. Garlic sauce is phenomenal though read more

Love this place! Small privately owned and operated downtown Lebanese eatery, exactly what I look for. Places like this the owner cares about the food and it really shows. I had the large Kafta pita wrap and my only complaint is that I didn't order 2 because it was FANTASTIC! read more

The food is scrumptious and they were very accommodating to what I wanted to eat! The only downside is that the only desert option is not peanut free read more

The Cedar Tree Restaurant - a plate of food - Lebanese Near Me - North Bay, Ontario

Round 2: Lunch Take-out ... Ordered Chicken Shawarma Combo - includes one side and pop (found out later). Side: Huumus, added Tabouli Salad and Juice. Combo: $8.99 Tabouli: $4.99 extra Juice: $1.99 extra Totalled $18.05 with tax ... !! This is wildly expensive for a take out lunch order. $5 for a tabouli salad of that size seems very steep, as well I was not credited for the pop and charged extra for the juice. Unfortunately, the Tabouli was loaded sideways in the bag ... by the time I got back to the office everything was swimming in salad dressing. Perhaps it flipped when I left the store, I think there should be a better way to pack this. Everything was very tasty though! ... However, I was told that the Shawarma would be a large ... definately not ... I would call it a "snack" size. Perhaps there was another error made by the counter staff. I'm going to speak with them about this the next time ... perhaps the errors are just that, errors ... there's grace for that. Especially when combined with this type of food (so rare in these parts). For now though, hard to maintain 4 stars. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous Review: 9/29 * * * * This place is very new ... I suspect just a few weeks. I'll need to eat here again to write a proper review. Right now "4 Stars" simply because I can eat a proper Shawarma here in North Bay ... finally! Just had lunch with my daughter (and baby grandson) here ... small takeout counter style with about 6 tables ... Fairly clean ... simple atmosphere. Looks like the lead chef is the owner ... courteous and friendly ... dressed in chef's gear ... Interesting framed poster on the wall describing the Cedars of Lebanon - known as the Lord's Cedars ... cool! Staff: 2 aux. chefs, students at counter and floor ... girl behind the counter didn't seem too knowledgeable of the menu but was able to answer my questions by asking the chef. Menu: Marquee menu had typical Lebanese and Middle Eastern Fastfood Fare ... Chicken Shawarma, Felafel, Donair, Shishkebab, Huumus, Baba Ganoush, Tabouli ... other items I can't remember ... I ordered a dinner platter for 2 which was a sampling of Shawarma & Donair with choice of 2 sides & Salad - I chose Huumus, Baba Ganoush & Tabouli. With 2 juice bottles + tax totalled $27 (cheaper than 2 single platters - Shawarma platter on it's own was $11.99). Service: Fast and reasonably friendly ... was served Tabouli Salad as soon as I sat down ... Presentation: Way better than expected. Quality: Good. Fairly Typical. Shawarma was tasty and not greasy. Donair had a nice savoury flavour. Tabouli and Huumus were above average. Baba Ganoush was zesty. Very good sauces - generous garlic. The Pita servings were way to small ... cut into quarters they quickly dissapeared before we were halfway through. Ordered 2 more servings, told that extra orders were .79 ... wasn't charged though. Bottle of Franks Extra Hot satisfied my heat requirements - would have liked some Lebanese hot sauce though ... oh well. I would have preffered larger plates ... ours were what I would call appetizer size. We ate straight off the platters mostly (middle eastern style?) ... no big deal. Very busy place with mostly business lunch crowd ... lineup at one point went to the door ... I'm looking forward to the next time ... I've been emitting garlic all afternoon ... a good sign! ;0) read more

See all

This place is amazing I'm from outta town didn't expect to find a nice halal place in north bay. The spicy sauce is amazing Had chicken platter with rice and potatoes Rice was spiced amazing Potatoes spiced and soft Salad with house dressing was great Chicken was soft and tender read more

We came in for dinner last evening and were quite pleased. My wife had the chicken shwarma and proclaimed it delicious. I had the falafel platter with rice, tabouleh, and baba ganoush. Exceptionally good. We had a side order of hummus as well and found it difficult to finish the entire meal. We are hearty eaters and there was more than enough very tasty food for us both. read more

This was very good, I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Platter, so much food but it was so good that I couldn't stop myself from eating it all and now I am in pain : / The restaurant has a deli-type feel to it with a busy takeout business. The eat in area is smallish, but clean, it is always busy at lunchtime so be prepared to share your eat in space with the people who are waiting for their takeout order. I am looking forward to going back. http://www.cedartreelebaneserestaurant.com/ read more

I'd give it 10 stars We've been in north bay eating burgers,pizza and steaks and My body was in pain from all the processed food , We found out about this place because we asked a local where we can get something healthy and for a good price. She recommended this place! My wallet and stomach thanks me! The food is FRESH! The salads are the best! The lamb is cut from the rotisserie rack! The gyros are just like we had in Greece I'll come back every time I'm in this area We had the donair with veggies and hummus read more

The Cedar Tree is awesome! It brings great foreign Lebanese cuisine to North Bay. Highly recommended!

This is good lebanese food for North Bay, however compared to a bigger city with better options it just doesn't hold up. The garlic sauce is mostly mayo with barely any garlic flavour. The portions are also small for what you pay. The spinach feta boureg was not very exciting...dough is not crispy but soft. again not alot of flavour. The quality of the meat is good and the hummus is decent. read more

First of all I didn't see any signage or certificate or anything says that this restaurant offers Halal food. Second thing, the workers were not using any gloves while holding salad and other food ingredients with their bare hands. read more

My 2nd time eating here and the food was awesome! The girl at cash wasn't very friendly, but the owner took the time to come ask how the food was. I had the shawarma platter and there was more food than I could eat. The food itself was full of flavor, and properly cooked. The potatoes were amazing! I'll definitely be back! read more

Wow great food, Try the kafta it was a pleasant surprise, very rich in flavour. Everyone with me loved their meals and I will definitely return. The place is small but tastefully decorated with great service read more

Awesome food, great choice for "outta the norm" food services in the North Bay Area. Food was fresh and tastey. I frequent here to get away from the poutines and burgers. Try it once and you'll try it twice!! read more

come here when the owner is present for he makes the absolute best chicken shawarmas around. add in some extra garlic sauce and it's heavenly. a large chicken shawarma fills me up all day- under the ten dollar mark too. another must try is the falafel platter which was ordered with the tabbouleh salad, veggies and rice. the falafels are perfection - large in size, crispy and tasty. the platter itself is very large and inexpensive. eating in might be difficult during lunch hours but between 1-4, it is very comfortable and not crowded. I absolutely love that this place exists in north bay! read more

The shawarma here beats ones that I've had in Toronto or Ottawa. The owner obviously takes pride in what he does and gets in fresh, delicious ingredients to make his food. read more

Had a dinner here recently - the food was very good, at a great price. Service was friendly and quick. The restaurant is charmingly small, which adds to the experience. If you enjoy Lebanese cuisine, I recommend this place. read more

I just tried the chicken shawarma from The Cedar Tree. This is my first time having Lebanese food, and I can guarantee after this experience it will not be my last. The food was terrific and the service was very friendly - almost as if I were friends with the guy serving me. Very impressed and satisfied. read more

Outstanding. I absolutely love Lebanese food, The Cedar Tree does it right and does it well. All the flavours are fantastic, freshly made and full of flavour. The tablouli salad was to die for, as was the hummous, baba ganouj and falafal (made fresh!) the chicken souvlaki was also freshly made and grilled. Will definitely be going back and ordering from there again. read more

I absolutely adore this restaurant. The service has always been incredible and friendly. The food does not disappoint at all. It's absolutely delicious. I highly recommend the spicy chicken shawarma with a side of hummus. read more

Simply incredible. Get the shawarma. Actually, get two. You won't be disappointed.

First time eating Lebanese food, sooo good! Ordered the chicken shawarma and have been craving it since. Excellent service!

After reading good reviews, my husband and I decided to give this place a try. We both ordered the large falafel . With garlic sauce for lunch. It was the best !! Been years since I had a falafel that was so tastey!! We will be back to try more dishes. read more

This place is awesome, it's real food that tastes fresh. Nice to see North bay is starting to have more diversity and getting away from corporate food franchises... read more

Really great Lebanese food -- had the chicken shawarma platter, which made for a delicious lunch. Not a lot of atmosphere, but a nice enough to make it a good place to stop for anything from a quick lunch to something more leisurely. Convenient location makes it a great choice if you're anywhere downtown in North Bay. read more

Visiting from Toronto we were pleasantly surprised to find Lebanese food this good in North Bay. I had the falafel appetizer, chicken shawerma platter (with the garden house salad, roasted potatoes and rice), and baklava! I was definitely full but my taste buds won so I finished it all. read more

Good food, good value. Staff was friendly and helpful. Good quick service. Only criticism was the mixed veg that came with my meal. They were frozen, not fresh. The rest of the meal (kafta platter) was quite good. read more

Chicken swarma is delicious with garlic sauce. I wish the sandwiches came with a side, but that's my only complaint. LOVE the food.

Stopped by for dinner, it was a great meal. The tabouli was the best I have had in ages. We had the family platter for the four of us the staff offered extra pita bread and happily provided more of another item when asked. read more

Wonderful 'FRESH' Lebanese Food. A bit more expensive than the food court franchises, but well worth it. Great Mezza Platter - Great Shawarma. Should add Fatoush Salad to the menu. read more
