Cedars Bakery & Restaurant in Fort McMurray

Food is really good. There arent a ton of places in YMM that are extremely friendly so this place falls in line with that. So, with great food (recommend the whole fried fish) I would go back again and again.

Customer services are not good

There is a bad behaviour of the cashier moreover the staff is also very rude and disrespectful. Not recommended

I came to this restraunt first time and last time also because of their rude behaviour and bad customer service.Not recommended.

I ve had exception service at this restaurant in particular from one of the representatives named Suhana. I d come back repeatedly simply because of the amazing customer service! Food

The cashier was absolutely lovely, made my day.

I live right beside the Cedar Bakery and it always is packed, has lots of amazing food and can t beat the price.

This place is top 3 Fort Mcmurray food joints. Everything they have is great food, good portion.

I ordered margarita pizza but received a copy of this just a plain cheese pizza no basil leaves and cheese was smelling like hell Very disappointed Food

Their Shawarma sub was delicious

The food is amazing!!

The food was amazing, the host Suhana helped select food and was really a good host

Today, morning I tried crepe with lotus and sliced almonds it was the best crepe, I ever had in my life.

Good

It is so good the food

Freshly prepared food. Prompt service. Welcoming receptionist. Reasonably priced and generous portions Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options and Halal options available Dietary restrictions: Halal Food available Parking: Busy location might not get spot opposite the enterance but nearby. Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant Enterance is leveled up with the sidewalk

Shawarma is unmatched in Canada, best garlic sauce and chicken Ive had. Unreal flavors from the perfectly cooked chicken.

Chicken shawarma is excellent. Lamb wrap is also excellent. Meat is tender and cooked perfectly. Food is very fresh.

Always get the Chicken Shawarma Platter. Garlic Sauce and fresh made pitas are on point. Wish they still gave pickles on the side though. Food : 5/5

Amazing shawarma and donair

Still highly recommended for food, atmosphere and service. Although the 2 most recent order were not as great: the steak was dryfor a medium rare and the pizzas was also dry and barely any sauce or cheese. Lots of topping though and still taste good. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Order delivery for late brunch the good wasnt fresh clearly dried leftovers from the other day meal was well over 50$ for such a disappointment and slow delivery Next time if there is a next time I will be requesting fresh made to order You would think this would be common sense clearly todays order wasnt

Hidden gem in Fort Mac. One of the best shawarma s I have eaten. Would definitely go back

Found out about Cedars Bakery&Restraunt a few weeks ago and I have to say its the #1 best place in Fort McMurray in terms of Quality of food, amazing flavors and price value for the amount of portions you get; Ive been eating in Fort McMurray restaurants on amd off for more than 15yrs and this is the best place for value by far ; my only complaint is that I havent learned about this place sooner and if you could order half portions would be great .

Just bought this kunafa from there. Worst one ever had. Seems like they made this weeks ago.

Good food, great service.

Very tasty shawarma and the pizza is delicious as well! One of the best places to eat in Fort McMurray!! Always like to come back here..

Akkawi cheese pie.

I feel a deep connection to the people of the middle east when visiting.

Few times Ive been up here for work it satisfies my craving for shawarmas. Had the jumbo Donair last time and it was delicious.

Food here is amazing! You get a lot for what you pay and it s consistently delicious. The ladies at the cash register are really friendly as well.

I can only speak for the humus......amazing!

The meal was average, they also charged more than the posted prices

I bought Chicken Shawarma Platter from here and found it better than other shawarma places in town. The chicken was tender and juicy, not too dry though. All in all, good place to try.

This hidden gem in downtown Ft.Murray is worth stopping. The fried chicken and wood fired pizza are soo good!

Dietary restrictions: Halal available Food

Awesome food, great proportions, friendly staff

Best Arab restaurant in Fort McMurray

Amazing friendly staff, clean and wonderful environment. Love the pizza! If you get a chance to, come try the mango nectar (from the drink coolers) its so delicious.

The portions are unbelievable & food tastes great! (Mix Shawarma Plater)

It was good Vegetarian options: Plentiful Parking: There was a decent amount of parking Kid-friendliness: Idk

I love the food at Cedars

The mixed grill dish was absolutely delicious!!! The chicken and beef shawarma was cooked perfectly , still moist and very tasty!! The hummus was fresh and very good , the garlic sauce was very good as well not overpowering!! Salad was also fresh and very good!! All around the entire dish was very fulfilling and too much to finish in one sitting , this dish was also served with fresh still hot pita from the clay oven!!! I will for sure be revisiting this place over and over again.....

Always great food, lots of it at a very reasonable price. A real family atmosphere, and their sense of commitment to the food they serve and their customers is readily evident. Our office loves going there for lunch. Part of the wonderful revitalization going on in the southeast end of downtown. Vegetarian options: I am a vegetarian. There are great vegetarian options at Cedars

Delicious food and the atmosphere is perfect. Great for takeaway or to dine in. Will be back again!

Excellent food! We were breaking fast there and food was great!

The cheese pies and meat pies are delicious, love the Zatar pie.

So good!

On March 7 2023 I attempted to pay for my meal at the terminal after ordering. After several minutes the transaction was not processed so the attendant handed me a second terminal where the transaction was finally processed. My credit card bill later showed that I was billed twice for the same meal. The first transaction had been processed without issuing a receipt. I filed a dispute with the credit card company which was rejected by the merchant. The credit card company graciously provided a credit for the error by the merchant. The attendant at the register was about 18 and staring at her phone most of the time and was generally inattentive. I was not satisfied by the dispute resolution process offered by this merchant.

Delicious.. especially the spicy rice

I tried lots of food there its wonderful food service great

Really friendly staff and the food is delicious

Read other reviews and was excited about ordering pizza from Cedars. Undercooked, cheese slightly melted. Crust is thick and tough. Flavour is Meh at best.

Ordered 6 platters for my team today and as usual (we have ordered lots before) the food was fantastic. We had a couple little change requests and they accommodated and were super friendly about it. Food was ready on time (had to get it back to site as we all work on Horizon), fresh, packaged well, and wonderful. We will continue to come again and again as they always treat us well and we have never had a bad meal. *no photos sorry, the food all got eaten too quick :-) Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options, and ask if concerned about the contents of a dish and let them know if specific requests. Dietary restrictions: I have team members with dietary restrictions and they are always willing to accommodate. There are also options on their menu although you may need to ask as I do not think they are noted specifically. Parking: Only a couple spots right in front of store, but a large shared parking lot otherwise with lots of spaces; I have never had an issue parking.

Food was fantastic!

Beef kabobs are so delicious

Owner is very rude and unprofessional. I went back because the order was incorrect and the food was falling out of the packaging into the bag. The employees were very polite but the owner blamed me for the food and said that I mishandled the food. He was yelling and cursed at me multiple times. Claimed that the didnt need my money, didnt want me to come back and didnt care about Suncor or Syncrudes business. I told him that I was not attempting to rip him off and that there was no reason for me to mishandle my own food, also that if i had thrown it around, I would have just paid for another meal like a decent person would. I was told he didnt care for my money and continued to yell at me in front of other customers and employees. Somebody needs to teach him manners as a business owner His employees apologized on his behalf. I will never eat there again.

Best chicken shawarma in fort mac, if you hungry you know where you should be !!

Most amazing Lebanese food I ever ate better than the food in Lebanon itself; the service is more than amazing swift, quick, and flawless, whoever is running this shop is doing and amazing job the hijabi(in the morning) is the nicest restraunt worker Ive seen in 19 years she was so nice and even smiled something deemed rare nowadays 100/10 service would recommend .

Mixed Shawarma Platter was ginormous. Great flavour. Staff was super friendly. My friend had pizza. He said it was excellent as well. I ll be back next time I m in Fort Mac as the menu has a lot of things I want to try.

Everything is Halal. One of the best Shawarmas I had in a long time.

Good food, especially Shawarma sandwiches. Mostly its good but sometimes a bit dry.

Superb service, delightful food. Rice alone is richly tasty! Food

Amazing people, amazing food and amazing service! I had the chicken shawarma platter and it was the best shawarma I have ever had. Amazing chef! Will definitely be back!

Oh the Shawarma platter!

Great service. Good food. Thanks chef!

Cedars is an awesome restaurant alhamdulillah they are clean and all staff are very nice Especially GunJan who helped us today she was a very good worker!

The absolute best mixed Shawarma on the planet

Wheelchair accessibility: Ok Food

This place is my go to for shawarma pizza perfectly baked to a golden, crispy perfection with chicken and beef. You can customize it to your toppings however you like. The service quality has declined compared to my previous experiences, so I decided to rate it with 3 stars this time. There was some disagreement among the staff regarding the availability of side garlic and hot sauces. I dont mind paying for the sauce either but dont know what the fuss was about. Shouldnt compromise customer service over quality.

The restaurant itself had a sketchy atmosphere. I got the meal to go. The food was awesome! Never judge a book by its cover is true in this case..

Great selection

I was recommend to come here from a guy at work. He said this place rocks and hes right! burger was soooo good and the little sweets were amazing! I will be coming here everytime Im in town.

This place is super delicious!!

I ordered from here for the first time the other day. I ordered the meat lovers pizza and fried chicken. If you like a really cheesy pizza with way to much sauce then this is the place for you. The meat on the pizza is mediocre at best. The fried chicken was chrispy and not very greasy at all. So over all not the worst place in town.

Great food friendly staff . Down to earth owners Mustafa and Ali respectful individuals .

we just ordered fried chicken & plain rice but came with fried rice, i was just disappointed this time that their rice is spoiled, we used to order to cedars & we love it but this time im not happy with the spoiled rice they gave

Great food. The platters is a bit too much for one sitting but tasted amazing. Good garlic sauce and kafta skewers.

Always order the Chicken Kebab platter. Always fresh and consistent.

Great food! And delicious cookies

OMG! We have been missing out. Hands down best pizza in town! My kids are in love. Awesome customer service and just great food. Be sure to check out the philly steak sandwich . One of my favorite spots right now!!

Always great food and service. Tasty every time. They work hard to accommodate dietary restrictions.

Best fresh pita. Baked in store. Cedars is one of my favorite places for Shawarma. The chicken is dry. They overseason the chicken.

I just bought lamb kebab yesterday from this place and let me say the food was delicious and tasty clean everything the best restaurant ever

Taste is good. Really bad experience. I ordered falafel wrap and each bite I felt like there are small stones I am chewing in my mouth. Really bad. They should properly clean their ingredients before making falafel. Not recommending this place again.

Phenomenal! Huge portions of the tastiest Mediterranean food ever! Had the mixed shawarma, and side of falafel. Also ordered hummus to take home. Will defo be coming back

Kebab and the skewers are divine.

Heard great reviews, tried out ..food was terrible. May be first time unlucky?

The Chicken Shawarma Platter was amazing, and I was able to see them making it fresh as I waited! Youre able to have a seat while waiting, and watch the cooks who were in great spirits with big smiles! (Super nice to see happy employees at an establishment!) I wasnt aware of the awesome Stone Pizza Oven... Pizza is a must try next visit!

Amazing food and very fair price Nice people working there I recommend everyone to try their food once.

Amazing quality food at reasonable prices. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff, best cola in the neighborhood.

Amazing food. The flavors and portion sizes are out of this world. A must try.

Food is so delicious and amazing.

I came to the restaurant this afternoon and came to write this review as soon as I could since not only was I amazed by how delicious and absolutely delightful the chicken shawarma was but the customer service I received from the cashier was amazing. I have never felt so welcomed as well as have a friendly experience with such a wonderful person. The world definitely needs more cashiers like that nice girl today!

good halal spot. serving portions are good too.

Some good shawarma in town !!!

Forget the Keg restaurant , get a platter!

Great place for a quick snack and a family gathering. So far we have had a very good experience with all the food items we had tried so far (family platters, meat and akawi cheese pie, chicken shawarma platter, mix shawarma platter, breakfast platter including chicken and eggs, fool, and much more). We always have family visiting in from Edmonton and they love this place everything we dine here!

Dietary restrictions: Love it Parking: Awesome Kid-friendliness: Very delicious. Wheelchair accessibility: Safe

The best shawerma in town. Love the pies too!

Id never imagine finding authentic, delicious, fresh mediteranian. Lamb shank was great and the BBQ skewers were marinated perfectly. Pizza was great too!

Really great food. A lot of options. The bakery is super delicious too. Good customer service.

My favourite restaurant in all of Fort McMurray. If you have not been here you are missing out on the best the city has to offer. Friendly staff, delicious food, good atmosphere. This is a place that will keep you coming back to try new items and having you wanting to bring your friends and family.

Excellent schwarma of all sorts.

Awesome food! The shawarma platters are great with delicious hummus and garlic sauce. Its a bit pricey but the portion size is large enough that youll likely have leftovers. I also find that I can order one platter and split with my girlfriend for a better deal and we often still have some leftovers. The baklawa is great too! Parking: Lots of parking out front.

Best shawarma

Never fails to put a smile on my face! Food is sooo good service is amazing! 10/10 recommend! The quality and quantity is amazing! This is my order of steak and eggs!!

Always delicious!

Always delicious with big portions the ice cream is good too!

Good Lebanese food. Portioning is good. Flavor is good. Bakery menu is worth trying. Dont mind the ladies working hard to make your meals tasty

Since moving to Fort Mac, this has been my go to spot since discovering it. Im from Toronto and I miss the diversity it offered in terms of cuisines and flavors and just being able to get dishes I dont normally cook! Cedars has been able to keep me filled with their generous portions (I usually get 2 servings from 1 platter). The meat is always cooked to perfection whether its their chicken, beef, lamb, etc. The fatoush salad is always fresh and so delicious as well - definitely recommend!

The cashiers and cooks are super friendly. The food is always fresh and delicious. Hands down the best garlic sauce in the city.

Great place, so quality and quantity of food!

Ive never heard anyone say they didnt like Cedars. I havent eaten here a lot but Ive always enjoyed what Ive had (usually some sort of shwarma platter). But this time I was just meeting a friend for coffee and he ordered something called a zathar (or zothar? Something like that) which I thought was a desert. Instead it was a wrap stuffed with pickled vegetables. Fantastic.

I ordered mix grilled Kabab beef and burger Kabab was as hard like rock, couldnt even chew them chicken kabab was ok

Generous with their jumbo wraps, sure to keep you filled at least two meals. They also have classic miranda bottles that I don t think I ve seen anywhere else

We have been going to Cedars Bakery for a few years now. They are usually quite consistent with the quality of their food. Recently, however, we have noticed a change as a result of the food being prepared by a different cook. My last donair was quite dry and a little hard to swallow, even though I asked for garlic sauce. In addition, I found minimal tomato in it. Im writing this review to encourage the main cook (hes absolutely fantastic) to pass on this information to his other cooks. Overall, we do enjoy going here, and recommend that others try it out.

Just moved out of town. I have yet to eat Shawarma or Kafta as good as Cedars. Be thankful for what you have everyone. This place is a gem. Thank you for all the good food.

Delicious food and great service. Thanks!

Authentic food and atmosphere. The garlic sauce in the shawarma wraps is amazing. Giant ovens for pizza and pies. Tons of Lebanese pastries.

best beef shawarma wraps in town

I was in Fort Mc for work for two months. This was my go to spot for dinner. Best shawarma in town and they also have lot of other great items.

This restaurant is amazing. Every single thing was perfectly done and delicious. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is wonderful and its very clean. I am so happy to have found this gem And can t wait for it to be open again!!

Amazing restaurant, delicious food, and I CANNOT WAIT till it reopens

This is my favourite place to grab an amazing shawarma! I can t wait for it to reopen after the unfortunate flood. This place deserves all the hype I recommend everyone to check this place out. Amazing staff, support local!

Food was absolutely incredible! Everything was prepared so well and in such a reasonable time. Definitely cannot wait for it to reopen to enjoy another delicious meal. Great staff and great service!

i always come here when ever i visit Fort Mc and i recently found out it got damaged due to a flood :( i can t wait for them to reopen because the staff was friendly and they had delicious authentic food. i definitely recommend this place to anyone near the area.

The people who work there are very friendly. The food is amazing! I love all the healthy options they have and my favorite is the chicken shawarma platter and Lebanese fruit cocktail.

Great family restaurant

Great Place. Nice and clean area. Deliacious food Polite staff.

Delicious food

Best place to eat in town

Interior modified making it much more family friendly

Wow!! Very good meal!! Generous portion !! My Kebbab was delicious !! Thanks for the hospitality ! See you next time !!

Great selection of food

Pizza is mediocre at best, ate two slices of a 12 and tossed the rest in the trash. The service left a lot to be desired as well. Probably best not to tell a customer 10 minutes if it s going to be 30. Honestly stunned by all the good reviews of this place. But I guess when you re isolated from the rest of the world you learn to accept sub-par. Wouldn t go back if the food was free.

Amazing food and staff!! Very authentic and clean, must try!! Will definitely be back!

Ordered the CHICKEN SHAWARMA SAND with extra meat. Wrap came with very little meat; but, had extra fries (basically a french fry wrap). Would not recommend the shawarma wrap. Others in the group ordered the platters. These looked like they had tons of meat and spicy rice. If you are ordering from here, I would give that a shot.

Lamb kebab platter taste very good

Delicious Arab food.

Now Cedars is open at Eagle Ridge at the Commons. This is almost an equal size facility like the one they have in downtown or slightly bigger and more modern looking. Helps me with less travel to downtown. Some how I still like the Shawarma at their Downtown location even more than what s available here. Overall great place and helpful staff

Great food and meat shop. Love their shawarma subs!

Love the shawarma platter. If you like pickle in vinegar, dont forget to ask for turnip and gherkin pickle. Like their sandwich and pizza too. Dont like that the quantity of the platter is decreasing every year.

A gem for ft mac

Amazing food. It is so light and fresh. The service is awesome there as well. Everyone is so nice to you, makes you feel like family.

Best

Very good and lots of flavour. You wont leave hungry.

Hands down best restaurant in town. Great service. Very friendly.

Love this place, great food, great staff and tons of variety when it comes to food menu.

Falafels were delicious

Awesome food. Smelled amazing as soon as I opened the door. Friendly service too! Will definitely be coming back!

Great food and staff, very reasonable prices for the amount of food you get. Highly recommended to anyone in Fort Mac

Tried the lamb kebab. Really good quality Lebanese food.

Best place in Fort McMurray to have a delicious meal at a fair price

Simply amazing, big portions. Best middle eastern food in Ft McMurray.

Delicious food, great customer service

Cherry Cheesecake Is the absolute best

Best shawarma platter ever!

Who would have thought the best shawarma wraps in the entire country would be in Fort McMurray? Bold statement, but I havent had better shawarma in the entire country. There other items are outstanding as well. Their pizzas are to delicious! Try the meat supreme pizza or my favourite, the beef shawarma pizza. Well priced as well.

11-2019 I wanted to update my review because the food was not very good last time I visited Cedars (downtown); it was still fresh and the staff was helpful, but the food was all very bland. My guess is that opening the new restaurant has probably split the staff and the good cooks went uptown. I have eaten Lebanese food for many years and found this really lacking. I was not going to write about it, except I passed up the chance to go again the other day, so if Im now NOT going, then I should update my review. I see others recently have still had good experiences so perhaps my visit is just a fluke. 4-2019 Cedars is one of my favorite places to eat in Fort McMurray. The food is very good and made fresh in house; you can eat in or take out. They are friendly and keep the place clean. It is part specialty grocer and part restaurant. Tip, if you have never been, grab a drink before you order so you can pay for everything at once. Take your receipt and give it to the cook to complete your order. The steps are unusual so I just wanted to give you a heads up.
