Cedar Valley is an exceptional restaurant offering great Lebanese and Middle eastern cuisine. Shawarma is one of many tasty dishes that they offer so don’t be afraid to try something new. I was impressed mostly by the kindness of the owner Haytham and his exceptional customer service. The ingredients were fresh and delicious. It is also a small business not a chain shawarma restaurant which makes the service more personalized and great for customers who want to support small businesses in Ottawa. I will certainly keep coming back as a happy customer! Thank you

Hands down the best Lebanese in town. If you are looking to eat out and are craving Lebanese food go to Cedar Valley in Orleans. The plates reviewed here are 14.99 they are mixed Chicken/Beef platters they are awesome and can easily feed 2 people each. We buy these and we are 2 adults and 3 kids and we have plenty left over for the next days lunch. A

I have been a customer for a good amount of time. The staff and the food are fantastic. I’ve tried different shawarma around Ottawa and I have ti say that Cedar Valley is one of the best! They’re great after a good workout too! I love the chicken wrap, but the platter is just as good! I absolutely recommend Cesar Valley and when my family visits I take them to have really good food here!

My girlfriend and I come here whenever we want some shwarma. It's by far our favourite spot. We will drive in from Navan and pass 4-5 different shwarma spots - its worth it. The Garlic Sauce is incredible! The food is awesome, the people working here are always friendly as well and give great service.

I love Lebanese food and usually get it from the same one or two local spots. With that said, I have no loyalty to either of them, but stepped out of my element and tried something new. I'm almost embarrassed to say it was my first time at Cedar Valley! Let me start by saying...IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I was greeted by Sam and George who mentioned it was a family business that had started 21 years ago. After tasting their food I now know why they've been a staple in the neighborhood for so long. To say the serving was huge is an understatement. How huge? I ordered extra meat, and Sam had to use Scotch tape in an effort to close the lid (partially close the lid I should say). Everything was so fresh and tasty. The pickles and turnip were crunchy, the rice was fluffy, the potatoes had a hint of heat and the chicken was juicy with little, to no grizzle or fat (just the perfect amount for taste). And the garlic sauce?!?! Gimme a break. Sooooo good! I didn't find it heavy like most of the shawarma places I've tried. I also added donair meat with sweet sauce. Amazing! If you're in the neighborhood, or NOT in the neighborhood get your butts over to Cedar Valley Restaurant for some kick@ss Lebanese food!

My favourite take-out restaurant. They have done an excellent job of catering 2 events for me. Staff are very friendly and helpful and always have time for a wee chat.
