Cedars Mediterranean Kitchen is a Palestinian restaurant nestled in a strip mall that is always buzzing. Sudki Abdullah opened the restaurant in 1992, and Amer Abdullah, his son, took over the business after Sudki’s death in 2019 and reinvented it in 2022, with a greater emphasis on his Palestinian roots. Food sales and pop-up comedy shows going to benefit Gaza humanitarian relief is part of its mission. The restaurant isn’t just serving up food, it is a place for community.
Groups — the portions are hefty so bring a friend to share a plate or two with.
Make sure to check the daily specials displayed next to the cashier. It rotates often and features popular dishes at a discount, as well as one-off offers for the day (like buttermilk fried chicken or harissa fried fish on taco Tuesdays).
