Cedars Restaurant

Cedars Restaurant brings Middle Eastern dining to Milton, Brisbane, with a menu shaped by Lebanese and Iraqi influences. The restaurant’s focus is on traditional flavours, warm hospitality and a setting where families, friends and colleagues can gather over a shared meal. Its approach combines established recipes with newer additions introduced under the venue’s new owners.

The menu covers a broad range of dishes, from salads and mezze-style options to grilled meats, seafood, rice dishes and banquet offerings. Standouts named by the restaurant include its signature kebabs, chargrilled meats and fragrant rice dishes, while the mezze selection includes hummus, falafel and tabbouleh. There are also vegetarian and vegan choices, giving groups with different dietary preferences more flexibility when ordering.

For a larger table, the Mix Platter brings together chicken and lamb shawarma, chicken wing, makanek, salad, rice, hummus and garlic dip. The Jumbo Meat Platter is designed for sharing and combines lamb, chicken tawook, kafta, lamb cutlets, Iraqi kebab and chargrilled wings with accompaniments including roasted tomatoes, fattoush, garlic dip and spicy bread. Banquet options are also available for group dining and events.

Cedars describes its atmosphere as warm, inviting and reflective of the Middle East. Alongside meals, the restaurant hosts entertainment-focused events, including appearances by an Arabic DJ and belly dancing nights. These events add a cultural element to the dining experience, although the venue’s regular offering is also suited to a straightforward meal with family or friends. Bookings are handled by phone, with guests asked to provide the date, time and party size.
