When the search for an immersive culinary experience that transports you to a world of flavor leaves you overwhelmed, trust the vibrant establishment: Cedars Restaurant & Outdoor Hookah Lounge is the unequivocal “must-visit.” This restaurant offers a captivating blend of authentic Middle Eastern cuisine and a lively atmosphere, nestled right in the heart of Orlando.

The atmosphere is one of vibrant, exotic celebration. From the moment you enter, the vibrant ambiance, coupled with the attentive service, creates a memorable dining experience. This establishment features a larger dining room as well as outdoor seating, great for special events. The outdoor hookah lounge adds to the relaxed, exotic vibe.

The flavors are extraordinary. You absolutely must try the appetizer duo. The Falafel, crispy and flavorful, was perfectly complemented by the smooth and creamy texture of the Hummus—the balance of textures and flavors was simply divine. Be sure to try their specialty drinks to enhance the experience.

The main course was a symphony of tastes. The Mixed Grill, a carnivore’s dream, featured succulent Kafta, tender Tawook, and juicy Shish Kabobs, each bite a testament to the chef’s skill. For seafood lovers, the Shrimp Scampi was a revelation: plump, juicy shrimp bathed in a rich, buttery sauce, infused with the bright flavors of lemon, garlic, and white wine.

Cedars Restaurant offers dining experiences that few other local spots dare to attempt, specializing in perfectly prepared Middle Eastern and Mediterranean delights. The meal is not complete without indulging in their decadent desserts. The Knafe, a warm, gooey delight of shredded filo dough and creamy cheese, was pure indulgence. The Baklava was a perfect finale with its flaky pastry, nutty filling, and rosewater syrup.
