"A fixture of the U-District since 1976, Cedars is part of a cluster of restaurants that form Seattle’s Little Lebanon. The lamb shawarma, priced at just under $8, is a steal for one of the best gyros in the city. Served in the iconic blue checkered paper sleeves, juicy strips of lamb come smothered in tahini alongside crunchy lettuce and raw onions. While there’s indoor dining, walking up to the takeout window and watching the cooks prepare sandwiches to order with swift skill is the best way to experience Cedars." - Alana Al-Hatlani
