No-frills counter serve turning out Middle Eastern specialties like shawarma & falafel.
I'm sitting here eating it and it's so incredible I need to leave a 5 star rating!
I haven't eaten in here for a long time but did recently. It's the same amazing food. The chicken Shawarma is so good. Victor and his wife are the nicest people as well. I can't say enough good things about them and their food.
We were heading back home from Toronto, with the kids, 6 people total, found this Gem on the way back. I’ve had a lot of shawarma and this by far is the most authentic , tasty and yummy. I had the privilege to also meet the owner, victor and the lady who served us Maha. Very nice people, extremely generous and extremely welcoming, if you are in the area and or in between Toronto and Quebec, I highly suggest giving them a try , you won’t regret it.
Delicious food!! We ordered the Mixed Platter-chicken, donair, rice, potatoes, salad, pickled turnips & pickles, 2 sauces & pita bread Service was outstanding & friendly!!! Also bought a 3 litre of the BEST olive oil I have ever tasted for an excellent price! Highly recommend trying this gem of a local restaurant, we will definitely be back!!!
The best falafel in Belleville! I was blown away by how delicious the falafel sandwich is. The falafel itself is crispy and a bit on the greasier side which is yummy and naughty. The vegetables and herbs are nice and fresh. I will definitely be coming again. 😍
I ordered Chicken Shawarma Platter and Fattoush salad with chicken. Best chicken shawarma so far. Yummy, not oily, good portion size for the money and pleasant service. This place is a local, family run business and is certified Halal. Highly recommended!
The food was fantastic. My friend and I had the chicken, Shawarma, and it was just as good, if not, a bit better than the ones I had in Lebanon. On top of that they repped Palestine massively!! Walking in there had me a bit emotional since we’ve been getting discriminated against and censored left right and center. THANK YOU 🤍🇵🇸🤍🇵🇸 good food + humanity. Highly recommend!
Amazing place, they go above and beyond with their clean environment, and delicious food. Great seating area with lots of traditional beautiful Palestinian and Middle Eastern rich culture. First time to come here of many times I hope… Thanks for the lovely prepared food.
Always excellent food, the owners are wonderful. Hands down my favourite food in town.
Ummm . Shawarma must try!!
Just love their food!
Food was AMAZING! Spectacular customer service. As an Arab, I highly recommend this restaurant.
Great food, great service. Best food in town in this category. Should have gone here earlier since moving to the area. If you havent been, then you need to go and eat here.
Best shawarma in town! It is delicious, fresh and full of flavor. I will only go here to get a shawarma.
I visited Cedar Nights for the first time today and I will definitely be returning. Delicious food. Friendly staff. Every ingredient was fresh and the sauces were amazing. Thank you!
Amazing food. I had falafels in Israel, Jordan,Dubai and many Middle Eastern countries and the falafel from Cedar Nights were as good and authentic as they can be. Very lovely Couple serving the authentic Lebanese food in Belleville.
This place went down hill massively from when they opened. Dry chicken. Dark lettuce. Taste just awful.
very generous portions and the beef is great, though chicken is a bit more dry than I remember, it still tastes better than a lot of other places so it makes up for it
Great owners who are friendly and helpful. The food is authentic Lebanese food and excellent flavor. Highly recommend!
Amazing Amazing food, and service. Some of the best donair Ive had and the best service. Definitely recommend.
Favorite Shawarma place in Belleville highly recommend it
Food was perfect. Garlic sauce has a nice spiciness to it. Lots of food for the price. Very nice staff.
Absolutely the best shwarma from GTA to Ottawa. Donairs were light, fresh and unlike most similar places, no heavy sodium. Freshest of ingredients and the owners are super friendly. I wish they would open up a Cedar Nights here in Kingston, love it! Thanks
Delicious food
This place is literally never open lol. Not wasting my time again to see if it is.
My first time. My coworker has been calling over a week for some donars and they didnt have any. Today, I ordered small fatush and small babganush. $18 He charged me for pita bread!!!! Which on the Lebanese palaces I ever been babganush comes with pita bread. I think its over price Also the babganush was not good The salad was not fatush No military discount. ... I wont come back
This has become my favorite place to eat Food is hot fresh and delicious Owners are super friendly Food : 5/5
I m from out of town and come here every time I m here for work , great friendly service one of the best shawarmas i have had , all homemade ingredients.love this little Gem
Pretty legit shawarma. I ve been looking for one since I left Ottawa. They re great!
Very authentic and extremely delicious. We have been going for years and have never had a bad experience. The garlic sauce is to die for.
My chicken shawarma pita was packed with both great ingredients but also great flavour!
best place to get donairs in belleville!! thier garlic sauce can t be beat! i will don t get donairs from cedar nights
This has been an excellent spot for shawarma and donair for years now! Today I ordered both the Chicken Shawarma and Souvlaki meals. The staff were very friendly both over the phone and in person, and our food was ready without any issues for pickup! Beside the counter there was a selection of foods such as pickles, olives and rice which you could purchase which I found very cool! I am planning on returning in the next couple of days to pick up some stuff because it also looked delicious! The food was delicious, better than I remembered back in 2011. Very flavourful, and the flavours of the ingredients mixed well together. I was able to stretch my shawarma meal for both lunch and dinner, and I was left very satisfied. 10/10, definitely recommend if you are interested in trying middle Eastern style cuisine, or enjoy shawarma! Parking: The main parking is out front, but the post office next door can lead to few spots available. Behind the business is a large amount of parking spots in the connected plaza. I have never had any issues finding parking very close to Cedar Nights!
Loved it
Amazing quality, home made and excellent service. My favorite restaurant in Belleville. I try to stop in whenever Im in town.
Viktor and his wife are amazing!! Delicious food , always consistent! One of my favourites places to eat!
What a lovely restaurant. Recently ordered the chicken shawarma pita, souvlaki dinner stuffed grape leaves and falafel for myself and a friend and was pleasantly surprised at how big the portions were, how fresh and flavorful the ingredients tasted, and how kind and generous the customer service was. All at a shockingly affordable price! So much food! And we ate up every delicious bite!!! The owners clearly have a lot of respect and care for their restaurant and customers. And a deep love for cooking up delicious Palestinian and Mediterranean fare. This is THE hidden gem of Belleville. I cannot recommend it more. Will be returning any time I m in town. Wishing much success and love to the family behind Cedar Nights! If any small restaurant in town deserves it, it s them!
Delish food, just what I needed!
Restaurant was clean, Owners were very friendly, Food is delicious!! Food : 5/5
We recently moved to the area having come from Durham and Scarborough, so finding a place locally that meets the quality and taste we had become used to has been a bit challenging. Wed heard that Cedar Nights was the go-to place for Shawarma and MAN - the suggestion was SPOT ON!! The chicken was perfect - not overly spiced so that the taste of the chicken was able to be showcased alongside the spices, the toum was absolutely perfect (garlic sauce), the hummus was balanced perfectly with nuttiness and acidity and the pita was soft, chewy and just the right size. The toppings were fresh, my fave always being the pickles and turnip. Tradition is not overlooked here to accommodate a North American palette - it was right up there with the food we had while living in Dubai. We started chatting with the owner and found out he regularly travels to MY FAVORITE grocery stores in Scarborough (Arz and Adonis) and his table of jarred goods and sweets proved that. I was so happy to bring a jar of my favorite Iranian pickles home and have already eaten half the jar. If youre looking for delicious, well priced food that is filling, fresh and comes along with proud and accommodating customer service, you need to check out Cedar Nights. Great people, excellent food!
Donairs and shawarma are excellent. Ive tried all the latest new restaurants in Belleville for donairs and shawarma (edited 2024), and none of them come close in both flavour and value for the money. The only reason I try other restaurants is that often this place is closed on weekends or when the owners are on vacation.
Great falafel great donairs amazing food and friendly service never disappointed with this place and they serve hala food also
Super tasty food good service
Fantastic shawarma, the homemade hot sauce really rounded out the flavours nicely. Definitely worth the stop!
Delicious, probably one of the best schwarmas Ive had in a while
Unreal food
Your food makes me so happy . Thank you
Chicken/beef shawarma, chicken souvlaki, and donair are all excellent, dont sleep on the pepper (red) sauce, it isnt spicy, just juicy and flavourful, owners are great as well, very cool people. Update: The falafel is fantastic.
I actually heard about this place years ago, i finally visited here the day before yesterday, mind blowingly good! and reasonable price! a massive chicken shawarma for 13 bucks!
Great little shop with friendly service. Delicious food. They have a neat loyalty card program, too.
So DELICIOUS!
Is it Halal? Its very Questionable When asked the guy preparing said it is Halal meat. But nowhere on there menu it says it is Halal. So guys who wants Halal should be careful.
Love it here
Awesome food, absolutely delicious shawarma, chicken and beef, both fantastic! Great prices and wonderful family owned restaurant. Thank you for your service Sir, you make your whole country proud!
Authentic... delicious.... there is no better place around.... the food is true Lebanese no one can compete
Small portion but tasty food.
Place is a gem, the owners are friendly as can be, and the food was absolutely amazing. I am already planning my trip back.
Very hospital owners. Food was very fresh and portions were perfect. Would come again if passing Belleville.
Great food, the chicken and shawarma were juicy and tender. Owners are very kind.
I love the food, very friend staff, and very clean place, I enjoyed it. Thanks
Best Shwarma & Donairs! Nice assortment of vegetables and herbs. House hot sauce and donair sauce is perfect. Clean, friendly environment. Great people. Excellent stop. You two are great. Please stay forever! Vegetarian options: Many. Parking: Parking out back.
Good food, nice staff and fair prices
Parking: Not a lot of parking in front of the restaurant but the lot behind the building and typically has spaces available nearby Food
Vegetarian options: Falafel, salads, soups, hummus. Dietary restrictions: Very good options for vegetarian, picky eaters and halal. Kid-friendliness: The owners/operators are so sweet to children.
Literally the best food! Owner run and they treat you like family but feed you like Gordon Ramsey! The best ! Vegetarian options: Many options! Meatless Donair would be my recommendation! Parking: 5 spots out front and a large parking lot on the side of the buildingZ Kid-friendliness: Flexible menu and they will make it as you want it. Have seen them make a kids meal dressing free and ensuring nothing touches for a fussy eater Wheelchair accessibility: It s ground floor with a ramped entrance
I am always amazed with your service and delicious food. We are so glad to have you serving the Belleville community for so many years. Always worth the trip! Food
Great food!! Great people!! You can definitely trust them to make your food with the best care and love. Would recommend anyone in Belleville or travelling through Belleville to stop by and have some great Shawarma.
Delightful! You will not be disappointed. The food is always fresh and flavourful. We are very lucky to have this restaurant in our city. The owners take pride in their work and if you are passing through the area definitely stop in. Food
Best shawarma ever! Makes me miss my home town! Trying so hard not to eat there every week. Mouth watering food and spectacular service! The couple that runs it is very helpful and friendly! Excellent food for the price! I would give them more stars if I could.
Fast service, clean, fresh and delicious food
Food was delicious awesome
The restaurant is a bit small but their shawarma was delicious. We will be back again. They also offer a military discount to serving members and veterans. Food
Ive enjoyed my meals at Cedar Nights so far! The owners have been very friendly and accommodating, and even take time to explain different ingredients and make recommendations. Im a big fan of their shawarma pitas (beef or chicken) and I especially like their garlic potatoes.
Omg the food here is AMAZING. Will be going back soon.
Finally got them when not closed. Chicken Shawarma was really good, a tad savory (salty) but the fresh toppings evend it out. The cilantro drowned out a lot of the flavours so maybe less or none the next time. The large is $15 and that seems to be the norm lately, but this place is quality so whatever.
Not very impressed had chicken shawarma plate chicken was old dry and re-heated, rice was sticky potatoes bland not spiced. Overall not likely to return. Was very surprised that visiting on a Friday night at dinner time they did not have meat on the rotators they were re-heating old precooked meat. Poor quality of food for a high price.
Great shawarmas and fries! The staff were very nice and proactively asked about preferences for the kids Parking: A bit of an awkward lot in front of it to access, but the plaza lot behind was easier to get to. Kid-friendliness: Very considerate staff
made a pit stop on my way to montreal from totonto. falafel was better than anything i ve had in toronto! if you want tabouli, they make it to order! like wow. definitely worth stopping in if you re in belleville or passing by
Really good flavor in comparison to other shawarma places Ive been.
Don t listen to people like Barry Cooper lol negative lying person. Food is great. People are great. Always coming back
The restaurant its self was nice and the staff were also very polite and nice I ordered a chicken shawarma, how ever the chicken was dry and I dont care for non flavored white rice with my shawarma as well as how he went into back room for 4 minutes for the rice, also the garlic sauce might have been preference but I thought it was gross and the portion is half of normal places for the same $12.5 Charge (was being served as I walked in 10+ minutes to make 1 chicken shawarma on rocks also asked to spread garlic but sloshed it in corner off spatula. (it looks rather good but is dry bland and gross) Parking lot is also quite terrible
Fantastic food and even better people. You cant go wrong ordering anything on the menu.
Best shawarma Ive had in a very long time.
Delicious, friendly, tasty and affordable. What else is there to say? Its a small locally owned shop with great food.
Supporting local never tasted so good!! Lovely owners and amazing food! Best Donairs!!
The best shawarma around. Courteous staff and a diverse menu keep me coming back. Cedar Nights offers more delicious, unique items than any other wrap or shawarma restaurant around. I recommend trying the grape leaves for a very unique savory appetizer.
Fresh and fantastic food made by lovely people. What more could you ask for P.S. The homemade garlic sauce is so good I buy it by the tub
Was passing by on a road trip, we were all used to our usual Lebanese food in Montreal and we were all surprised by the great tasting chicken shawarma.
Awesome food and friendly staff
Hands down the best Schwarma in eastern Ontario. You will walk away feeling full and great value for your hard earned dollar. The Owners are super friendly. Every single item on the menu is top quality. Its not like a boxed Acharya shop that uses the cheapest quality ingredients....The use high quality ingredients and prepare it themselves. Enjoy....cause I know you will.
Delicious chicken Shawarma! Love
Excellent service, great food! Ill even say the best shawarmas in Belleville! They also have some assorted Lebanese products for sale. Go there. Eat there. Love it there!
Owners are super friendly and personable, food is incredible. Always a go to for me!
Truly amazing food and customer service! Victor was exceptionally sweet and his food was on point!! Thank you again and will see you soon again :)
Good shawarma and garlic potatoes.
Delicious!
Amazing
Hands down, best cooked food in Belleville. You have to try the garlicky potatoes. The shawarma is fabulous. Everything is perfect and made with care.
All the food they served was great. Authentic taste and freshness. Wow such a tasty shawarma.#belleville#fav#
I brought my girlfriend here because the reviews seemed really positive and everyone was complementing the chicken. We ordered two chicken pitas and garlic potatoes. We were both very disappointed with our meals. 1. Zero flavour, especially the chicken and garlic sauce. It was so bland. 2.they put the wrap on the grill for so long all the vegetables inside were hot and soggy which was really gross. Maybe I had a one off experience but it certainly wasn t good. I won t be going back.
Food was amazing and great people
Friendly staff, great food, excellent prices, what more could you want.... thank you very much for the meals.
Very friendly staff and great food!
Excellent little spot. We ve been looking for a good shawarma place since we moved and this one is better than good. Service is great. Food is even better. So flavourful and fresh. Highly recommend!!
Love their food and their service is always great. Such kind people and we love to support local. I respect their a small business operation but at times I go there to order and they are closed, even though they hours say they are to be open. I appreciate the fact of needing a break and family first, so I will not hold that against you.
Cedar nights is bomb! Never been to Lebanon but if they eat like this Im down to go! Victor is a beauty and for sure you will leave with a delicious meal! Many veggie options also
Top notch shawarma,
Some of the best food in belleville! Definitely the best shawarma in town! Way more flavour than osmows! The owners are legends too, very nice people and clearly care about what they serve.
Food is amazing and the owners are incredibly friendly.
Super delicious Shawarma and Falafal wraps and plates. Very friendly and fast service. Would definitely recommend next time you need a great meal in Belleville.
Had a great falafel from here. Would recommend!
Delicious shawarma plates accompanied by kind service from the owners. Glad I was able to stop through here on my travels.
First time visitors to Cedar Nights. We got a chicken and a beef shawarma and were absolutely blown away by the rich, fresh flavours. Give this place a try - you wont regret it. The owners clearly care about quality food and good customer service. I cant wait to go back.
Shawarma=delicious.
The owner of the restaurant was closing shop when we arrived as we did not know their closing time. Us in our infinite stupidity thought it was a different day of the week at the time. Fortunately for us the owner let us in and served us anyway. The food was good. The service was excellent as he took time out of his off time to feed us anyways. In the restaurant was a tad bit small which isnt a problem but is a thing to note.
This is the best in Belleville for this type of cuisine. I love the platters. It will run you about $20 for a beef donair platter which can be pricey but the portion size is good and it s really tasty.
Amazing food and amazing service!
Friendly service, chicken shawarma was delicious.
Literally the best place to eat. They have a unique family taste and a great family business.
I second Micahels review below. A bit pricey but if worth it. They do not hold back on meat portions. Really tasty. Best donair Ive had in a long time.
Love this place. Fresh ingredients, friendly service and bold flavors.
Fantastic pitas
Great food and service!
Delicious!
great food and great service they make you feel like family.
Great spot for amazing middle eastern foods!
The owner is super friendly and the shawarma is always delicious!
Best shawerma place in Belleville. Very hospitable and cheerful service.
Amazing Shawarmas! We try to visit Cedar Nights once week and get our shawarma fix.
Cedar Nights never disappoints. Great portions, fresh toppings and the meat always tastes wonderful. I will keep coming back.
Soooooo delicious!!
Amazing donairs. The staff are so friendly and recommend toppings for you if youre unsure
Great food - friendly service.
The Best Shawarma in Quinte Region. What else do you need to know???
Never dissapoints and a great place to go when looking to support locally.
Friendly Authentic Hummus is excellent The halva (halawa) is one of the best I have ever tasted!
Always an amazing experience...love the food. Its one of our top 3 choices for take out.
Fantastic Lebanese shawarma. Falafel looked unreal, cant wait to try it next.
If im in Belleville or if drive to Trenton this is the place to go , the food is delicious. And the Owner are very friendly people
Friendly staff and great tasting food!
Awesome Donairs.
Too expensive for plate menu. Not much chicken. More salad. Fair taste. I paid 45$ for 2 to go chicken plate and 2 drinks. It is the first and last time being there.
Wonderful family run business in the heart of Belleville. Everything is very tasty, fresh, and fair prices.
Really great taste and portions
I have not once been disappointed by the shawarma here, totally delicious comfort food. Fantastic service with a passionate owner, cant ask for more.
The food here makes me so nostalgic about the food my Lebanese grandmother and great-aunts used to make growing up. Incredible service and very friendly owners. Would recommend for a bite to eat and to stock up on a few Lebanese groceries.
Authentic Lebanese food. Great taste and quality. Accommodations made for gluten free options - make sure to ask for tools that havent touched a pita. Friendly staff. Cant wait to go back.
Always delicious, owners are so nice
Clean eatery, lovely staff and best shawarmas ever!!!
Authentic flavours. Excellent falafels. Worth the wait if there is a line up during the COVID reduced hours.
Exellent food! Worth the cost.
Impressive quality shawarma. Always enjoy my meals here! If you are in Belleville it is a must-try.
Delicious food and friendly owners. Well priced and well portioned.
Fresh, delicious, friendly. Quality halal offerings and fabulous Donair!
This is hands down the best restaurant in Belleville. Anyone who says otherwise either hasnt been or is lying to your face.
Best place in town for swharma
Its 5 stars cause it is what youd expect and run by wonderful people.
Great people, great shawarma!
Very pleasant owners!! Food is excellent.
This is easily my favourite restaurant in Belleville! Our work group goes quite often and it is always exceptional. Very friendly owners and the restaurant is always spotless. Would rate this 6/5 if I could.
Amazing food, amazing people! I recommend to anyone whom has yet to have the privilege.
This is my go-to place to eat in Belleville. Quick, well-made, delicious and inexpensive. Love it.
Yummy. Good prices.
Hands down best shawarma/donairs place around Belleville
Great food and great people...try the swarma!
The sharwarma was excellent. Tastes good and good quantity for a nominal price...
Absolutely amazing place and staff! I came here to pick up a couple bags of Pastitis and after talking to the owner you can immediately tell that they have a true passion for what they do. I highly recommend stopping by!
Always amazing!
The shawarma was delicious and had good quantity. The price is also nominally kept.
Great service, delicious fresh food!
This has to be hands down the best middle eastern restaurant in Belleville. Great staff, awesome food, and decent price. Would def recommend
Was good service and great food
Excellent establishment - had the best mixed shawarma Ive had in a decade here. Not too much sauce, toppings were fresh, loved the meat seasoning. Affordable and speedy too. If you like shawarma or falafel even a bit, you owe it to yourself to try this place. The hot sauce isnt crazy hot, so get extra if you like spicy.
