Cedars Deli

Tried it out a few times. Food was worse than the last time everytime i’ve gone. Will not try it again.

When ever I have a craving for good shawarma (which is frequent) I have tunnel vision heading straight to Cedars Deli. I always order the chicken shawarma and they never fail to satisfy. Not only the food is delicious but the service is incredible! The staff are super friendly and very welcoming as soon as you step through the door. The place is comfortable and always clean and same with the washroom.
I always have a pleasant experience when ordering and dinning. Highly recommend this place for shawarma lovers.

Had a great first experience at this place. I had been to the cedars on edmonton trail multiple times and this one is just as awesome. Reasonably priced, hot, fresh and delicious. 5 stars.

Cheap when it comes to chicken. Choose the beef choice instead.
Choose the sandwiches rather than the plates.
The food quality is good.

In my opinion, some of the best donairs and shawarmas in town. There are others that are great but this is my «go to» place. The veggies are always fresh, the meats cooked to perfection and the sides are awesome. Great spinach philos and samosas too. The service is top notch. Literally have not had a bad experience here, ever.

Everything In The Menu Is Halal. I’ve Had Their Wraps Before But Decided To Try Their Plate Special That Comes With Salad, Pita Bread, Rice, Sauce And Chicken Shwarma. Pretty Good. It’s Not The Most Flavourful Shwarma I’ve Had But Its Decent.

Heard good things from friends and I was in the neighborhood so I had to stop. Ordered the beef donair with all their veggies along with their garlic and sweet sauce. Also ordered a small container of their tabouli salad. Meat is well seasoned and paired with fresh veggies that includes what what I think is pickled radishes… combined with garlic and sweet sauce… delicious! Tabouli salad is fresh and dressing pairs really well with it. Will go back to try their chicken.

What a nice surprise this place was. Exceptional customer service and really tasty options. Try the chicken shawarma & garlic sauce.

Great tasting chicken shawarmas! I like the fact that they have two different hot sauces to choose from. There is a good portion of chicken in the shawarma and a wide selection of veggies. I find that adding mozzarella cheese gives it a rich and creamy taste, a must have!

For fast food, cedars can’t be beat. The staff at this location are delightful and engaging with the customers. The food itself is fantastic and reasonably priced. When I need to grab a bite on the go I will definitely go back!

Best service I have ever received! Amazing food, amazing manager, and great prices! I have always left highly satisfied. Plus it’s clean and has plenty of seating.

I enjoy the jumbo beef donair. My roommate loves the chicken donair. I don’t understand why the charge more for the mixed meat donair when both beef and chicken individually are the same price.
The place is clean, the service staff very friendly. The donairs though not huge (I like huge) are tastey and very clean. You can eat a donair from there and not have a giant mess on your table.
The meat portions are the only thing not giving a 5 star in my opinion.
Definitely worth a visit if you want a donair in this area because the next closest place is ten mins away or more.

If I could give this place 15 stars, I would. I had previously fallen in delicious tasty love with the Edmonton Trail location, so when I saw that Cedars opened in Panorama near where I live, I was ecstatic.
Every dish is excellent. The donairs are hot and flavorful and not greasy. I load mine up with all of the fixings and it is so tasty. I love biting into the different crunchy veggies and getting the different tastes and textures. I also regularly order chicken shawarma and falafel and I have never been anything but completely satisfied and impressed. We eat here at least once a week as it’s so close to home, convenient, and not super heavy.
Not to mention, the staff is super friendly and a few of them even remember our orders. 15 stars!

Fantastic service and food. This place is always busy especially at lunch time, and for good reason. I love the interesting options for your sandwich. I love the pickled turnip… who knew it would taste so good. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Ok, I had to try this place, being in such close proximity to my home, there was no excuse not to. The deli is super clean, modern, plenty of seating and the staff are all super nice.
However, having a vast knowledge in Lebanese and Greek cuisine I have to say, this place missed the mark completely on taste.
Everything looked wonderfully appetizing so me and hubby opted for the cornerstone plate and a large chicken shawarma wrap. We went in after lunch, at about two so it was dead.
The good: everything was fresh, clean and you can sub, or add to your order SOME items. The rice was done perfectly.
The bad: chicken was mostly burned, tough and lacked flavour. Tabouli was not done right, missing fundamental ingredients such as a good olive oil, mint, onions, more tomatoes and tang, either lemon or pomegranate syrup was missing. The entire cornerstone platter was a big pile of food in a huge mound. When I mentioned that I wanted the food separate the lady said «this is how we do it, next time let me know ahead of time!» Well with all do respect, thats not how its done! The Chick Pea, Pita Basket, and Desert Pita all separate the food so you can enjoy them individually. The hummus was also lacking lemon and salt, and mixed in with tabouli was not very palatable. The tatziki was not a traditional Lebanese or Greek tatziki either, severely lacking cucumbers, garlic, and mint. I passed completely on any of their bean type offerings because I am not a fan and they just looked blah… I asked for dolmades instead and the lady at the counter said they cannot sub a salad for dolmades– whatever, I asked for Greek salad instead of the beans, with my tabouli, tatziki, hummus and chicken I also got a bit of rice since I passed on the bean offerings. The Greek salad was underwhelming too, my Greek bestie would have had a heyday with them!
They also give you a falafel ball with your meal but it too was wa-​waaaaa, hard, lukewarm and the filling was too coarse for my liking, again not seasoned well at all.
Will I try this place again? Maybe, but I might go during a lunch rush so I can by-​pass the burnt chicken. Also, a traditional fattoush offering would be much better than the bean selections, I found their salad offering typical of North American fare.
I give them a pass, 2.5 for now– as Cedars offers much better options than what is in the area (ie, phở joints and Pizza in every plaza), but still no where near as good as I’ve had.
What a shame, I was really hoping this would have been the place to get my Lebanese fix. Hopefully the kinks get straightened out as they still are fairly new, and I’ll become a regular.
A Lebanese mamma or a «tata» prepping the food would probably solve the problems I mentioned above, the mom palette just knows, no offence to the staff that were there that day.

If you are familiar with Cedars at other locations, this one is no different, and thats a good thing. Great, tasty, healthy food, at a good price. There are not too many healthy options for fast food in that area of the city, so Cedars is a for-​sure hit.
The interior is clean, modern, and narrow. Taking a few ideas from the «Apple school of design», everything is bright with white and solid colors inside. It would be nice to have a patio for the awesome summer we’re about to have. But I guess its hard with the space available on that block.
