- Charles Ferruzza (The Pitch)
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."Soooo Good!!!!" 
(Sunday Brunch is no longer served, except on Mothers Day, but we still have the sports car...)

"The best Mediterranean!"  by Trish
November 05, 2009 - This place has the best Mediterranean food in town! I have been eating here for about 20 years now when it was in a little strip mall in Gladstone. I absolutely love it and as a vegetarian it's one of the places where I can get a really awesome meal. I wish they were still in their old location in Parkville by the train crossing but the food is still as good so I'll keep going there. Definitely a fave for me and my fiance!

by Lonna Duzan (August 31st) -Me and Billy went out to dinner at Cafe' Cedar on Saturday night! OMG! It was soooooo good!!! We had hummus and pita and I had a veggie and chicken dish that was layered over baba! Oh my! We went all out with the Canyon Road Merlot - I don't even like merlot, but this one rocked! Then we finished it off with baklava! MMMmmmmm! If you haven't been there - you've got to try it!         

  "Loved It"     (Yahoo user)                                                                                                                                                                          (8/31/09)  We took a large group there and it was really, really good. I like the place, its cozy. The food was fabulous and the service was very good. They have a large variety of wines and a great bar. Yes, we'd go their again.

Old Parkville charm on the outside and fun...

Best Mediterranean Food for Miles

Cedar Cafe is my favorite Mediterranean food in the Kansas City area! Parkville is a bit of a drive from KC, but the food is well worth it! Falafil and hummus is great, soups are always good, and the Lamb kabobs are my favorite! ...
