It’s a rare restaurant that offers all-American fried-chicken dinners as well as a full array of Middle Eastern favorites such as gyros, lamb kebabs and stuffed Cornish game hens. Congenial restaurateur Jehad Selah pulls it off in a building that looks like a riverboat outside and a Costco inside. His dinner prices are enticing, and those deep-fried chicken dinners (complete with potatoes, beans and fat cinnamon rolls) and his chicken-fried steak and cheeseburgers are surprisingly good. The Middle Eastern fare – hummus, baba ghanoush, falafel and kebabs – is excellent, too. Sunday brunch is served in a retrofitted sports car — Charles Ferruzza

We were looking for something unusual, and we found it. It was a great place. The food was delicious and the server was very friendly. I will happily go there again, and tell others about it.
You get so much food! And it is so delicious. The owner and his wife are so warm and friendly. I couldn't believe they remembered us. We have been listening to Brian Ruskin on Tuesdays down there. Man what great music for the northland. That is hard to find.

Cafe Cedar has change so much since the old photograph provided by the pitch. The remolding and updated interior creates a fantastic atmosphere.
The middle eastern food they have to offer is exquisite. It far outranks any in the city. The owner makes everything from scratch, no hummus mix or purchased pita. He constantly working on new recipes to add to the already extensive menu. I have been there on several occasions when he emerges from the kitchen with something for his "regulars" to try. The hummus, falafel and babaghanoush are simply fantastic, the pita made from scratch, and so much more. If you are a true middle eastern food lover, you have to try the muhummera. A little hard to find, next to the post office on highway 9 in Parkville, they reside a building that looks like a river boat. A unique twist is they also provide a delicious American menu. My kids have a cheeseburger, while I dine on Mediterranean fare. I highly reccomend it.
