In my last post, I wrote about Al Pasha, a restaurant in the Panari Sky Centre that serves Lebanese food.

While we are on the subject of Lebanese food, why don’t I tell you about my favorite Lebanese restaurant in Nairobi?

Before I do, let me tell you a bit about my background with Lebanese food.

I grew up in Côte d’Ivoire, where Shawarmas, meat-filled pitta bread sandwiches, are the equivalent of Kenchic in Nairobi.

As a university student in Montreal, Canada, dinner often consisted of garlic potatoes, which are roast potatoes served with a liberal serving of garlic sauce, and tabbouleh, a salad made from parsley and cracked wheat, bought at a Lebanese restaurant not far from my apartment.

What can I say? I am a serious fan of Lebanese food.

Given this background, I am sure you can imagine the joy I felt when I first found out that Cedars, a restaurant that I saw every day on my way to work, in Nairobi, specialized in Lebanese food.

Lebanese Food at Cedars Restaurant Nairobi

I first found myself dining at Cedars after dragging my Mom out one day to try it.

As she too had lived in Côte d’Ivoire, it was a cuisine that she was familiar with.

That first time we went, along with relatives that had come to visit us from Uganda, we ordered a full mezze.

A mezze is an assortment of hors d’oeuvres.

We thought that by ordering the mezze we would best be able to sample the full array of Lebanese cuisine.

The Mezze at Cedars Nairobi

To our surprise, the mezze contained many pastries (of which I am not a great fan) and was more than our conservative guests could handle.

In hindsight, the mezze is a good way to go, if like us, you are interested in sampling a full array of Lebanese food and are with a group that is both adventurous and hungry.

I believe the mezze can satisfy four hungry people, easily!

Tips for Dining at Cedar Restaurant Nairobi

I have since been back to Cedars several times for dinner, and have found that a more enjoyable way to dine at Cedars is to simply take the risk and order the dishes that you most want to eat. (If necessary, ask the advice of the waiter.)

Some of My Favorite Dishes at Cedars Restaurant Lenana Road

For instance, the last time that I went to Cedars, a friend and I ordered: Hommus, a puree made from chickpeas; Grape Vine Leaves, stuffed with rice; Tabbouleh, the salad I mentioned earlier; and Chicken Wings, the second best chicken wings I have eaten in this city (the first being the Tandoori Chicken Wings served at Haandi)!

I found that I enjoyed my meal much more this way: having few very good dishes, rather than having many dishes that I was lukewarm about.
