A Seattle institution

Five decades at the table.

Cedars has served Seattle’s University District since 1974. Over the decades, the table grew around the Indian and Pakistani dishes Seattle came to know us for—from our signature Butter Chicken to naan from the tandoor.

Today, that same spirit of generous food and hospitality reaches offices, campuses, weddings, and celebrations across the region.

More than a meal

Food brings people together.

We believe the best meals do more than feed a room. They give people a reason to gather, talk, laugh, and feel connected—from an office lunch shared between meetings to a wedding table surrounded by family.

Hospitality first Service at the heart of every plate.

Clear menu guidance, generous portions, reliable pickup or delivery, and real people when your event needs personal attention.
