Came here a few times and now I know I will be coming in regularly. Hookah is quick to come out. Smooth and full of flavor. They change the coals frequently. We have ordered so many drinks here and all have been perfect. Sahleb was thick and well made. Mint tea is so fresh they even put REAL MINT leaves in the pot! So great. The coffee and the lattes are so smooth and the presentation is professional. Bathrooms are always clean. Place is always busy but service is still fast. Prices are amazing and fair. No bad things to say.

The best hookah, the best atmosphere, and the best service! Cedars Café truly has the most authentic Middle Eastern vibes — I feel like I’m back home in the Middle East, especially in Lebanon. The food is amazing, fresh, and full of flavor. Special thanks to Ahmad and Wissam — they are the best! Their hospitality and kindness make every visit feel personal and welcoming. The music, and the people all create such a cozy and lively experience. I highly recommend Cedars restaurant to anyone looking for great food, amazing hookah, and a true taste of Middle Eastern culture!

This place is the best hookah bar in the DMV. The food, hookah, and customer service is excellent. My favorite sandwich is the cedars special. Their chicken shish tawouk is also very good. The hookah is tasty and comes out very quick. The people working bring out the coals very quickly and promptly. The employees are all very nice and attentive. Special shoutout to Melina, Ahmad, Wessam, and Mili. They are all extremely nice and can answer all your questions and recommend good options. They treat you like family and are some of the nicest people around I highly recommend this place and you will have a good time and experience
