" Overall, my experience was positive but there wasn’t anything that wowed me. The food was good and well-prepared, but the flavors didn’t stand out as much as I was expecting. Service was friendly, and the restaurant was cozy, but I felt like it lacked a little energy. I'd consider coming back for a quick bite. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I've tried a lot of shawarma spots, but Cedar is definitely up there. Their food is fresh and the experience is generally pleasant, although I found the service a tad slow during peak hours. If you're looking for a good meal that isn't break-the-bank expensive, Cedar is a great choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many shawarma places, Cedar is refreshingly genuine! The portions are more than generous and everything tasted fresh. My only issue was that one of the items in my order was incorrect, but the staff resolved it quickly and professionally. Love supporting local businesses like this one! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cedar Falafel is undoubtedly a standout option in Hamilton! The place was buzzing with activity when I visited, which added to the vibe. I sampled a bit of everything: falafel, shawarma, and their famed hummus, which met the hype. Can't wait to make this my regular stop! " (*Curated Review*)

" Cedar Falafel is like finding a hidden gem! From the moment I walked in, the aroma was enticing. The staff welcomed me warmly, and I immediately felt comfortable. I ordered the lamb shank plate based on a friend's recommendation. It was incredibly tender and flavorful. The sides complemented the meal beautifully. The atmosphere is casual yet lively—a great spot for family and friends! " (*Curated Review*)
