really really REALLY rude manager – At our visit, a nice couple seated next to us who ordered 15 minutes after we did received their meal and their check and LEFT before we ever got our meal. The waitress, from a distance, shouted "You don't have food yet?" "No." When we got our food, I assumed they would take some Nan off our bill to accommodate the 90 minute wait. They didnt, so I complained. The manager, looking annoyed, said the couple next to us could have ordered on the deck while waiting to be seated. When we explaine... read more

Eat and Go Away!!! – This used to have good food, but the quality has declined rapidly. This is THE WORST place to go for a relaxing meal near UW. The servers and owner hover over your table, grabbing plates as soon as they're empty and bringing the bill as soon as the last plate is gone -- then hovering some more until it's paid and you leave. It could be helpful if you have small children, but it's annoying if you want to enjoy the meal on a date. It used to be that the food was good enough quality to put up with the rushe... read more

good but not spectacular indian food – Good Indian food. Inconsistent service and long waits for lunch at weekends. One of the better Indian restaurants in the University district but not world class by any means.

Best Indian Food, Hands Down. – Service is "unique" but the food is worth it. If you don't like this style of service, get take out. . .

Order To Go – I am so baffled by some of the reviews on this site...mostly complaints about the service. If you enjoy the food...which I do, I suggest ordering to go and enjoying it in the comfort of your home where you don't have to "put up" with non-Western approaches to service and hospitality.

great indian food – A few years ago I asked the owner of the Souk at Pike Place Market where he takes his family to eat Indian food. He said "Cedars on Brooklyn". I have traveled over the world and cook many varieties of world cuisine at home. Cedars rates near or at the top as far as indian cuisine goes. Yes it is a busy atmosphere. Yes they have a lot of wait staff but hey I like that. The owner is VERY friendly and appreciative of your patronage. I love Cedars and have been going there for years. In India there are lot's ... read more

A bit disappointing – Cedar's is always packed, and it gets a lot of good reviews. I've eaten there twice, and have been a bit disappointed. Compared to most other Indian food in the area, it isn't nearly as flavorful. Indian cuisine is my favorite kind of food, and I would not recommend Cedar's. The service and ambiance are also pretty bad. The service was quite slow, and the restaurant is too loud to have pleasant conversations.

Good Food, poor service – I went with a group of co-workers and the food was good enough, but about 4 of us ordered the same thing with varying degrees of spicy-ness, and they messed up on the number or milds/mediums and wouldn't fix their mistake. Later, a waitress bumped into me from behind and spilled a green sauce down my back but didn't say anything and no one noticed until we were leaving. RUDE RUDE RUDE. The food was decent, but not worth it.

Now I see why everyone loves it – This great Indian restaurant is abound with options for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. It features an interesting menu that expands beyond the usual Indian faire. While I wish they offered a lunch buffet, our recent weekday meal included a sumptuous Paneer Naan that was to die for and an awesome Mango Curry. The Chai is also quite excellent, not too sweet like they make it in most places. If the whether is nice, it's definitely worth the visit.
