Favorite Indian restaurant in the Udistrict area!! Portions sizes are great and the staff are super friendly. The tikka masala is so good with their garlic naan.

Cedars never disappoints. This time I got shahi korma chicken and garlic naan. It was my first time trying this dish since I usually get the butter chicken. I'm super glad I tried something new! I have only ordered take out from cedars but the interior is very cozy and I definitely plan to dine in sometime soon. Also, as my friend and I were picking up our food the man at the greeting desk kindly offered us complimentary chai tea to go. The tea was great, and was a small gesture that went a long way!

It's pretty good in terms of taste! It's a little expensive for my liking but they give you a huge naan which was great! The service is really nice and we got served our food pretty fast.

Hadn't been to this spot in years, but a friend who used to work in U took me there a decade ago. I couldn't recall specifics of it, but knew it was a good idea to try it again tonight. It was! Because we're dumb it took us a bit to realize that choosing digital menu also meant they expected us to place our order via it. Once we sorted that, it was on! We tapped away at a what looked good, and almost immediately drinks and then food poured out of the kitchen. While we appeared to have a dedicated server, the food was delivered by whomever was close to kitchen when it was ready. It felt rather indulgent to be taken care of like that. Tandoori chicken, naan, vegetables samosas, chickpeas & potatoes (name of dish is escaping me now but that's what it was) were all top flight. We even tried a pair of the flavored lemonades and they were tasty. Whatever brand of juice Cedars buys, I want to find it. Because the world is insane, tipping a meal like this is confusing. The service we got? Amazing. But literally all that happened is they delivered food we sent orders to kitchen and then I paid via my phone. We tipped well because why not take care of those who took care of us? But it's a weird world and I can't keep up with how to navigate tipping anymore. Only suggestion I have is to scrap the vegetables added to most entrees. They're using what I assume are cheap frozen vegetables, that come out bland and, frankly, gross. They're actually cooked well; not mushy. Just, yuck. A few slices of cucumber or a side salad would be options I'd eat; these I just shoved aside while enjoying the rest of the deliciousness.

My favorites were the coconut curry and garlic nan. Each dish came with rice and the garlic nan came with two dipping sauces. Tandoori chicken was dry and lacked taste. Butter Masala Chicken was good, but I'd recommend curry more. Also, tables are next to each other so it will be crowded and loud (also means Cedars is a popular restaurant!)

We went for dinner at this place in a weekday. They surprised us with everything we ordered. The masala chai was amazing. We ordered platters and all the items were really good. We ended our meal with dal tadka and it was perfect. They have two spice levels, one normal spice level and another is indian spice level, which was really interesting and we ordered everything with indian spice level. It was perfect. Ambiance is good too. Overall, a must visit if you are around and you wouldn't be disappointed.

Cedars is my go to Indian spot in U District! They consistently keep the same delicious and enhanced flavor of food! My favorite thing to order is the Mango Curry Chicken. It's tangy and always hits the spot when I'm starving! Along with the Mango Curry Chicken, the garlic naan is so crispy and breaks off really well. Such a good combo! When you order, they also give you two types of chutney. I'm not sure what types but one is green and the other is brown. The green chutney is cilantro and is savory and salty, while the brown one is more sweet. I personally prefer the brown one. Keep Cedars on your list of places to go!

TLDR: great restaurant with good food, a lot of options (vegan options as well), cozy environment, free parking available and great service though it might be hard to get the attention your server. Atmosphere: dimly lit, super cozy and homey. It is perfect for catching up with friends, date night or dinner with family. There are lots of tables and is great for big groups. There's a QR code on each table to view the menu. Bonus point: I like that the online menu has the option to talk to a server or request the paper menu, though it is further down the online menu. There are lots of options including vegan options. There are pictures for every menu item so that helps! Food: Their menu has so many options that we took a lot of time to read through and decide. Wings: very flavorful, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, though they are a little burned. Cedars nan: really good, the nan is massive! Curry specialies with lamb: big portion of curry, comes with rice. It is pretty good but does not make an impression on me. The restaurant also gives 2 jars of sauces (I'm not sure what they are) but they are amazing and go great with nan and everything else! Service: the food came really fast! The server checked up on us to see if everything was okay once we got our food. However, it was pretty hard for us to get the attention of the server. They walked so quickly to deliver food to nearby tables but walked away so fast we couldn't get a hold of them. The restaurant was pretty busy so I can understand their efficiency. However the interaction with our server was amazing, she was so nice. This definitely left a good impression on us! Parking: free validated parking in front of the restaurant but each slot is fairly small, and it fills up quickly. It is a bonus point since it's not easy to find parking in this area. There are nearby street parkings you can find if this lot fills up. Overall, I love the ambience, the food and service here. I'll definitely come back.
