Cedars Deli

For a food court, Cedars Deli is A-​OK in my books. Price is very reasonable ($ 8.00) for a regular size chicken wrap. Lots of selection for toppings and the portion is very large. My only qualm is that the food isn’t as flavourful as the Panorama Hills location. However, if your choices are greasy fried Asian food, greasy fried chicken, greasy fries and gravy, and Subway, I’d pick Cedars.
Kudos to the employee, who responded to my squeal of horror at his very generous squirt of garlic mayo sauce, «What? It’s good stuff! It tastes great.» Also, he wrote «His» and «Hers» on our wraps, so we would know which one was which. Much appreciated.

Just not what I expected. Got the donair, service was very fast, almost like they were in a rush. I was the only one in line at the time. The food was bland almost generic. Not the Cedars I remember.

I have been a longtime fan of Cedars. Been going to them for many years so was very happy to know market mall had a location. The food and service is top notch. Will be back again and again.

I am die hard fan of Cedar’s in Panorama Hills, in my area. We eat there more than once a week, and every dish is excellent. So, because of this I did not hesitate to try Cedar’s in Market Mall. The chicken shawarma wrap was greasy and hardly warm, and bland. It was an utter disappointment. If you want the best shawarma and donairs in town — check out either the original Edmonton trail location, or the Panatella spot. There you can order anything on the menu and it will be piping hot, fresh and flavorful. Skip the mall food court rendition!

Amazing food. Tried it for the first time yesterday. Amazed to find such a great place with such good quality in a mall food court. I had the beef shwarma wrap with garlic and sweet and tzatziki sauce, my husband had the falafel wrap, we shared a veggie samosa and small tabbouleh salad and wrapped up the meal with baklava. Everything was perfect. Nothing was too greasy or too dry, the spices were balanced and flavorful and the baklava was juicy, sweet (but not too much) with a fresh pistachio flavor. Definitely 5 stars!!!

This is my quick donair fix place. When i need a donair quick i head here to the mall. The food is always good. The donair size is ok. I never leave hungry anyway.
They do tons of other stuff but my thing is donairs. The
I think the price is a little high for the size of donair. I’d like to see a little larger donair for the price they charge. But when you need a quick fix you pay what they charge. I also think its because their in the mall and the rent is so high they need to charge a bit more.

I love Cedars, and even more so now that I can get my fix even if the Edmonton Trail location is closed– this one has mall hours! While I hate entertaining the idea of a mall food court, I found it very efficient today on my way home to stop by Market Mall, spend five minutes inside getting my vegan Mediterranean plate to go, and then running away again.
This plate included three falafel balls, tahini, tabouleh, four vine leaves, hummus, and pita. All of this cost $ 9 which is fantastic to me. So much food. Another thing that I like getting is the mini mezza for $ 7.50, but I wanted grapevine leaves so this worked perfectly. Despite being busy, the service is friendly and efficient. The staff are great, and the menu even has little symbols for «vegetarian» «vegan» and «dairy free» which is the coolest. I am never nervous about my food choices when I eat at Cedars.
With the gross mall environment, I was even able to pack this up, take it home, and eat on a normal person plate without listening to the conversations of teenage girls or screaming children.
Keep being awesome, guys.

Love it!!! Way to go guys! Now open one in the south: D

Man. I love Cedars. I was at Market Mall trying to be a mall rat and was staaaaarving. I’m trying to eat «healthy» and there’s really not many options there… Subway? *yawn“
I swear. this place has it’s own glow, it’s found in the corner of the Food Court. just a few steps over from Marble Slab (don’t ask what I was doing there).
They get the food right! The quality of food is great! It’s always a very filling meal without the guilt. My favourite is a Chicken shawrma or the plate if I’m super hungry… fine and the hummus and pita to go (for a snack while I study)
The eats at the UofC campus are really limited, driving to the Mall, resisting temptation to buy anything, and trekking all the way to the food court is totally worth it.

My dinner at Cedars was great. It is definitely a much needed new option at Market Mall. I enjoy all the different options. I had a mini mezza platter which was anything but mini! My only real disappointment was that the three falafel balls were not warm at all. I realize that most places pre-​fry them but most at least microwave them before they plop them on your plate.
I will return for sure!

I remember eating at Cedars on Stephen Avenue and later on tenth while growing up. Since then I’ve discovered I need to eat gluten-​free. I hesitate to go back to old favorites because I worry about being disappointed by what I can’t have or by a lack of knowledge about ingredients.
With Cedars I was very impressed. The man who took my order knew right away what I could and could not have. I was able to have a chicken shwarma platter with potatoes instead of rice and without pitas. Pitas obviously contain gluten, but Cedars’ rice has small noodles in it as well which is important to be aware of.
All the optional extra vegetables were ok, so I had garlic sauce, hummus, pickled turnip, dill pickles and onions. Everything was delicious, much like I remember it from years passed. The chicken schwarma plate was a generous portion of fresh food for $ 9. A bottle of juice put it around $ 11 total.
If you’re ever eating at the Market Mall food court Cedars is a good choice. And if you need to eat gluten-​free I think it’s the best choice there.

Gosh! I miss my Cedars. I used to eat at Cedars at 3 of the locations — at the U of C and there were 2 locations in downtown. I’m so happy that Cedars has finally opened a deli in the NW and in Market Mall. They just opened a week ago.
The food is just as good as I remembered. I had the Falafel Wrap for only $ 5.50! The pitas come in either wholewheat or white. You get to choose the sauce you want — of course, tahini for the falafel wrap — and choose the vegetables that you want. I look at the vegetable bar and see that all vegetables are fresh and green and some are pickled. I also asked to add banana peppers to my wrap to add a hint of spice!
There are also the different plates — chicken, beef, mini mezza — comes with the veges and the wrap. There’s also the vineleaf rolls, fatayers, different salads like the tabouli and chick pea salad.
I’ll have to go back and have the Chicken wrap or they used to call it «Shishtawouk Sandwich.»
