Worth fighting the Euclid Corridor Construction
I was introduced to Cedarlands while working at the Cleveland Clinic. We went for an office lunch there and I have frequented there since. The food is amazing. Very light, traditional and best of all inexpensive. Service tends to be a little on the slow side and a couple of the waiting staff may not be what you would call rays of sunshine but the food makes up for any lack in service.
I would best describe the decor as the love child of a Lebanese restaurant and American diner ( Let me finish you'll agree) On the tables are a beautiful tile mosaic while prints of Lebanese art adorn the walls while the shelves sport hot dog and hamburger candles and various American and Lebanese trinkets. It is most certainly an odd decor but you won't care the moment you get your food.
The food can best be described as heavenly. Everything you want in a lunch. Filling but light enough it doesn't send you into the infamous food coma. Nutritious yet yummy. And best of all inexpensive. A sandwich there runs around $5 but will make enough for a meal.
What I recommend
The Falafel is TO DIE FOR YUMMY
Hummus (yup its homemade)
Baba
grape leaves stuffed with anything
lentil soup (only available before May 31st and in the fall but honestl who wants lentil soup when its 80 degrees outside?)
Hit or miss
The amount of time lunch will take
A waitress with a smile
Avoid like the plague
A fast lunch
Shwarma (there are much better places for shwarma)
Custom orders.
