Her critical art practice examines a social, cultural, and political identity through the lens of diaspora, displacement, and intellectual exile.

This Thanksgiving at Cedars 💖

Thank you for including us on this delicious list 🍉

This Thanksgiving, we’re offering a special catering of our signature dish, Musakhan — often called “Palestinian chicken.” Traditionally made with sumac-seasoned chicken roasted over caramelized onions and served atop fresh taboon bread, Musakhan is a dish of gathering, home, and heritage.

At a time when Americans are rethinking what gratitude, justice, and belonging mean, we see Musakhan as a bridge between Palestinian tradition and the spirit of Thanksgiving. With moments like Zohran Mamdani’s historic win in New York signaling a broader shift in public consciousness, we’re reminded how quickly the national conversation around Palestine — and shared humanity — is evolving.

Our Musakhan is available by catering only, and pre-orders are required by November 25. We’re honored to share a dish that embodies resilience, generosity, and homecoming this holiday season.

Yes, really… 🥹

🚨 This is real life, not a drill. 🚨

Link is in our bio!

Bassem Youssef — yes, that Bassem Youssef, the legendary Egyptian comedian once dubbed the “Jon Stewart of the Arab World” — is coming to Cedars for an ultra-secret, one-night-only show.

After selling out the early Sunday show we added Tuesday + Wednesday shows. Those sold out too!

So we’ve added a MONDAY SHOW AT 7:30 PM!

📅 Monday, October 20

⏰ Doors at 6:45 pm | Showtime at 7:30 pm

(No Entry After 7:30 pm)

He’s developing new material for his next big tour, and he’d love the Cedars community to be part of the process.

Tickets are extremely limited, and this cannot be shared on social media. We think it’s the kind of night people will talk about for years — and you’ll be able to say, “Yeah, I was there.”

✨ Bonus: 20% of all sales from the night will be donated to Sudki’s Kitchen in Gaza.

Seats will disappear fast. If you know, you know!
