Ok my husband and I arrived there close to 9 on a Tuesday night. We had to wait 15 minutes to be seated. THATS how crowded this place is. But we didn't care. We love Indian food and were excited to try something new. Plus they gave us ice water while we waited which was a nice gesture. There were tons of people there (as I said) but the atmosphere was nice enough. And the food was excellent. My only complaint was the samosas were a little greasy but not horribly so and they didn't have tomato chutney (but they did have the mint and tamarind- yum!). The nan bread was really good- tasted really fresh. We got the entrées level 4 spicy (out of 5) and they were the perfect level of punch. Really not unreasonably priced for ethnic food. All in all we will be returning. I'd just recommend hitting an off time though to avoid the crowds.

but considering the hype surrounding this restaurant, I really thought my whole eating experience would be better. It could be me though, I had really high expectations going in the front door and I was somewhat disappointed with the food. My husband and I liked the garlic naan and the butter chicken. The daal we recieved was somewhat lack luster and the tandoori prawns were mealy. I rate the whole experience to be good because of the butter chicken and the naan. I will have to try some different things next time though and see if I have a better experience.

I know - most people love 'em. I've never been impressed with the food. The service is mediocre at best, and they're stingy with the paneer. The last time I ate there - the server spilled vindaloo all over my wool coat - then denied it. Have you ever tried to get vindaloo out of fabric? Lost cause.

Cedars and Thai-65 are the only places that I would spend more than $15 to eat at, the food at both places is always excellent. The most underrated thing about Cedars is the fact that their portions are very large. I eat a lot, and still almost always have leftovers. This shows Zum Zum what real Indian food should taste like.

First of all, I love Indian food, vinderloo in particular. The vinderloo in Cedar is absolutely delicious and I go there almost once a week. There is always a long line at dinner time which is somewhat annoying. But to me, it shows the popularity of Cedar. They won't have so many costumer if their food is not good.

.... but it's true. I don't like Cedars. I love Indian food and the idea of a good butter chicken curry makes my head spin, but each time I have dined at this restaurant, I always end up leaving disappointed. The wait is long if you come during the 7pm Seattle-dining hour and the seating is cramped. With all the commotion, it is easy to see why the servers always seem flustered and forgetful. The food itself is okay, moreso than other Indian restaurants, you can tell the curries have been pre-prepared. Also, the chicken is low-quality and can leave your stomach churning if you bite into a bad piece. :-( I know I am probably the only one who doesn't like this restaurant, so don't go with just what I said. Maybe I got unlucky the few times I went.... Sorry.

Cedars on Brooklyn is an Indian restaurant located on the corner of Brooklyn Ave. and NE 50th. It is a restaurant that has been converted from a house, so the restaurant itself has a lot of character. The quality of the food is very good and the food is delicious. The restaurant is always quite busy and popular but there is not much of a wait for a table. Reserve in advance for larger groups. Any dish here is good but my favorite is the biryani rice dish.

The proprietor of Cedar's knows the names of his long-time customers by name. Their wait staff buzzes about in a harmonious dance, like a bee hive; each table will interact with a few of them and they all take responsibility to cater to the needs of the customer. Their cuisine is an excellent value in its price range, and I highly recommend the desserts that they bake on site as well. My only complaint is about the size of their parking lot.

Cedars Restaurant is my favorite U-District restaurant, hands-down. Their chicken tikka masala with garlic nan absolutely cannot be topped. Add in friendly service and a cool atmosphere, and it almost entirely makes up for the usually-long waits for tables. A great place to meet friends and have a delicious meal.
