Cedars Mediterranean Kitchen - Chicago

Modest little nook in Plaza, from the unique ceiling cutout, live greenery, stone tile entry way, corner shelf w/books to the framed pictures displaying thr Story of Cedars. Staff was so friendly, and table was immediately cleaned off so I had no wait experience. Christy was so friendly and patient while I was deciding what to order, since everything looked so good. I decided on the Chicken Shawarma Platter which was served with rice, cauliflower/green peppers/onion medley and flour tortilla. The serving was a generous portion, the Sharma was flavorful and topped with a tangy sauce. Had started the meal with the Sudki Hummus, which was a great start. The Hummus was creamy, topped with pine nuts giving contrast of texture which was a highlight. My friends ordered The falafel wrap : Wrap was tasty and spicy sauce enhanced the flavor. Arab Swag Tacos: Amazing collection of flavors, generously served, with rice and spicy sauce. As if the food and customer service wasn't enough, we topped off our evening with a fundraiser Comedy Show. The talent was great and looking forward to next month show, and will definitely try the lamb barbacoa tacos

AMAZING! this place is a hidden gem! The food is great, the atmosphere is very cozy, and the people who work there are just great! The hummus flavor is so good ... The sauce where they put the falafel in, is so great ... Very different flavors ... We tried the tacos as well, and they are so great! This was our second time ... I'm sure we will come back again ... Oh, all of their meat is halal certified!

What a great little gem!! The soup, the hummus, the tacos, all delectable!!

The food here is amazing. It is a limited menu but I love the shawarma wrap and the entree. My husband loves the swag tacos. Anytime we are in the area we go there.

Food came quick and was tasty. Falafel was really really good.
