Cedars Mediterranean Kitchen

Cedars’ falafel, hummus, baba ghanoush, lentil soup—pretty much everything that goes with its delicious, warm pita bread—have us hooked. We could fill up just on appetizers and salads here, but should you venture into the entrées, prepare for huge portions by bringing friends. The family-style special for parties of four or more gets you nine dishes for dinner ($15.50 per person) and six for lunch ($12.95). Service can be unpredictable, but the potent house coffee and three kinds of baklava (traditional, pistachio or walnut) will help you to overlook it.
