Editorial Review for Cedars Restaurant on Brooklyn – by Elizabeth Mortenson
In Short
The split menu (Mediterranean/Indian) has the tastiest options from both worlds, offered up in a softly lit dinning room. Falafel is spiced with enough fervor to make anyone welcome the cooling power of the yogurt-based tzatziki sauce they're smothered in, while the curries and vindaloos have more body than an entire line of Vegas show girls. Despite delivering pragmatically fast service--waitstaff rarely leave water glasses empty for more than three sips--the lobby is often crowded with college kids.

Insider Tips
When to GoBeat the dinner rush, which will be steady until closing, by getting there early--before 6pm.
Know Before You GoThings tend to run on the mild side, so ordering one star above your usual preference is a good idea.
What to DrinkThe chai, a sweetened and spiced tea drink that comes either iced or hot, is bottomless.
ParkingDon't park in the lot attached directly to the restaurant (it's for Walgreen customers only), but there's designated free parking is in the Safeway parking lot across the street.

This is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in the Seattle area so far. The food has always been good, but it is always VERY crowded and parking is sometimes hard to find. It's also annoying that someone always comes by to clean the table right after you finish your food and wipes it down with a sponge while you're still sitting there at the table. I understand it helps turn tables over more quickly and clears the table if you want to order dessert, but I've always found it very rude. Other than that, I would recommend trying this place out. I've never been disappointed in the food.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Crowded, Parking may be hard to find, Long Lines, Table gets cleaned while you're still sitting there...

I have been to Cedars several times and enjoyed the meals. My complaint is on the rudeness of the host. I was there for dinner with a very pregnant friend of mine (nine months to be exact and she gave birth the next day). We had finished our dinner and was giving ourselves time to breath when the host kept coming up to our table to ask if we needed anything. At first, I thought he was being considerate but I soon realized by the tone of his voice he just wanted us to leave. I realize they were busy and probably needed the space but I think you can give your costumers a moment to compose themselves. I thought the servers were very nice but the host in the front was rude. I have always thought the food was good but I will never go back.
Pros: Good food
Cons: Bad service(host), long wait for table
