used to be better
Notice all the positive reviews are from a couple of years ago. I used to really like this place. On top of good food it had a lively, swanky feel. But the last few times I've been, the service has been horrible and the place had a weird quietness to it. The food is still OK, but I actually think the Nile tastes better, and it's cheaper.

Lovely place
We love Cedars! It is our number two favourite restaurant in Chicago. Try lamb chops and lentil soup. Service is always great.

Nice Food, Great Value, and BYOB
I appreciated that the food was solid, not very pricy, and portions were large enough to have lunch for the next day. Plus I always love it when you can save money and bring your own bottle of wine!

Good food, good service
Good food that keeps me coming back. Their lentil soup and chicken shawarma are both excellent. In contrast to a few reviewers here, I have never had any problems with the service.

Excellent Find!
Hyde Park has a secret few people appreciate. While other reviewers criticize Cedars for the lackluster service, I found our waitress to be perfect. She was attentive, without being over the top, she ensured our beverages were refreshed and our food was delivered in a timely fashion. As for the food...the scallops were perfectly grilled, the salad plentiful, fresh and quite good. My friend raved about the hummus (sp?), and we left totally satiated. That said, I will definitely become a regular.

If you like good food
It iwas a pleasure to see that there is a good Middle Eastern resturant on the south side. The food is good and the price is even better. The only complaint I have is that the service is a little lacking, but it's still worth a visit.

Service and wait ruins the food
Every time I go there I decide never to go back b/c the service is so poor. I always have to hunt down the waitress to get the check b/c she so seldomly stops by the table; last time I ordered a chicken sandwich and I waited for 53 minutes... But the sandwiches are a pretty good value. So if you don't mind the service then it's a decent place to go to for lunch.
