"Cedars is mostly known for their takeout lunch, but it’s also the ultimate feel-good casual dinner spot. There are a ton of windows that let in a lot of light, and the lighter-than-usual Indian food is great. Think spot-on samosas with less density than you’re used to, chicken tikka masala with not much cream at all, and saag paneer that’s mostly spinach (but tastes good). Make up for the slightly lower calorie count by getting an order of garlic naan which has the char and size of an entire Neapolitan pizza." - Aimee Rizzo
"Cedars is a big Indian restaurant that looks like a house (with a porch and all), and serves reliably great classics, like saag paneer and samosas. The naan is practically the size of a hubcap, which should be the standard for all naan moving forward." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"Located in a big house (with a porch and all), Cedars feels like you’re actually eating Indian food in somebody’s home. The portions of curries and appetizers are hearty - especially the naan, which is excellent, and practically the size of a hubcap. Use Cedars for a sit-down birthday dinner or lunch with the parents when you need somewhere “nice” that isn’t a counter-service spot." - aimee rizzo
"For quality Indian food in a University District space that looks more like a big townhouse than a restaurant, head to Cedars. There’s easy street parking on Brooklyn, and a dedicated section in the Safeway lot nearby. Come with a group, sit on the porch, and order a lot of pakoras, saag paneer, and butter chicken." - aimee rizzo
"The Deal: $35 Lunch, $50 Dinner (Daily) While some places only let you choose one item from an already short list, that’s not the case at this great Indian spot in the University District. During both lunch and dinner, you can choose one appetizer, one dessert, and two entrees. Finally, a Seattle Restaurant Week menu that has intentions of actually filling us up. We personally love their tandoori wings, vegetable samosas, and butter chicken, all of which are available." - Kayla Sager Riley, Aimee Rizzo
