    Complimentary Pita Bread
    Lisa L.

    TLDR: very slow service, unlimited pita, meh food, free 3 hr parking, 5% service fee automatically added to bill Slow Service: Came here on a Thursday around 7pm as a party of 4. The restaurant looked fairly empty, and we were seated right away. The waiter brought us some pita and dipping sauce within 10 minutes and took our orders. Unfortunately, he seemed to forget about us after that. People who arrived later received their food much earlier. When the waiter finally brought the food to our table 45 minutes after we had ordered, he apologized and explained that the kitchen had messed up our orders and gave us a complimentary dessert. We weren't in a rush but would have appreciated being informed of that earlier, especially since the restaurant did not look busy at all. There was an "optional" 5% service charge that was automatically added onto the bill. Food: We got the shawarma combo ($27) and chicken shawarma ($25) plates that each came with a cold side of our choice. We picked the hummus and muhamarra, which is a roasted red pepper and walnut dip. The dishes were small relative to their prices. We filled up on the unlimited pita. The hummus was ok, not super flavorful. The muhamarra tasted good. The building has free 3 hour parking. You will need to use the ParkMobile app to enter your vehicle information.

    I've been to and love the Tanoor in Westlake, so was expecting a similar experience here. Free parking is the biggest plus here, but the space in the Westlake location is much nicer and more aesthetic (IMO). On a weekend evening, there was no wait which was nice and we were given fresh pita for the table along with their herb and oil dip. For food, we got the arambeet, and 2 entrees. Arambeet is 100% a must, and the entrees were not bad either. I would've liked more sauce though as the meat on its own can get dry. Overall, a nice convenient location, but I still prefer the one in Seattle. For some reason, the food just didn't hit the same lol

    My friend and I went there to check out their banquet hall, which is beautiful for small weddings and parties. We tried the food and fell in love with it. The staff were awesome and friendly. We stayed there a little later after the closing time, and the staff were cool with it and didn't even rush us to leave. We loved the lights, food, and staff. Definitely recommend.

    Amazing food and great service! Clean and spacious restaurant. Free 3 hour parking in the garage through the pay to park app. We had a party of 13 people. They had plenty of space for us and were accommodating. Plenty of items in the menu, kind of pricey but honestly the food is really really good. We ordered the Batata harra which were fries with garlic sauce or something in top of the fries. It was absolutely delicious! Even better was the harra sauce that came with it. I wonder if they'd sell that to take home, so good! For the main entree, I got the Spicy grilled lamb and veggies. I was truly amazed by how tender the lamb was, the spice and the seasoning on the veggies and the lamb were absolutely delicious. The only thing I didn't like was that there were waaay too many tomatoes on the plate and not enough lamb meat. I got mixed rice to go with it and I'd highly recommend doing that. Great pairing! With a large patty, they can only split the check 3 ways. Overall, great service and amazing food.

    We came here on a Tuesday for dinner around 8pm. We had no issues with getting a table, in fact they were pretty empty on that day/time. We tried a couple different dishes as a group. Two of us shared a normal platter of lamb which is $32 and comes with an appetizer. The serving size is pretty good and you could probably take leftovers home. Another part of our group split the big platter between 5 people and they had a ton of food leftover to take home. Overall The serving size is really good but you pay for it in price. However this is definitely one of the better Lebanese places that exists in the Seattle area. There a garage right under the restaurant that is free for 3 hours

    Paying 30$ for rice

    My story with Tanoor came to an end unfortunately... I did a to go order what's that ? Paying 30$ to have few chicken piece and rice ? Sad because that restaurant had a lot of potential...

    Loved the food!! The chicken in the Dajaj Mishweh was so tender and delicious and the pickled onions complemented it well. The tabouleh was also very fresh. I personally didn't like the spinach Fatayir as much because the pickled flavor was a bit strong for me.

    Chicken Shawarma
    Jean T.

    Came here for lunch on a Wednesday and it was great! You enter the restaurant from the main mall-like building YOU CANNOT enter from the outside! It took us a while to find it because after parking underground we accidentally walked across the street to the other mall only to realize it was right above us in the parking lot.  We should have taken the time to read the menu a bit more clearly because I wasn't aware that the plates that we were ordering comes with an appetizer (I was expecting to see that written at the top of the menu page or something like that, instead it was written on each of the items on the page as if it were an ingredient) so we both froze and ended up ordering the same thing, the Batata Harra fries.  The gyro plane was definitely worth it though my chicken was nothing to really rave about because it was a little dry. ~~Parking: There's 3 hours free parking but you have to register through the Parking app.  ~~Service: Good. There was only 1 other couple dining when we arrived. We were seated fairly quickly and they gave us the time we needed to decide what it is we wanted.  ~~Best Part: The batata harra sauce! For some reason I didn't think that Mediterranean food could be spicy (but it could be because all of the other places I've gone to didn't really have the level of spice I was expecting). I'd come back just to have the sauce and I tried looking up how to make it but it's different than the potato recipe you see online.  ~~Worst Part: Navigating how to get there. For some reason when we parked under we thought it was the glass building across the street then realized it was right on top of us but then we tried entering from the outside of the building only to find out you could only enter from the inside of the strange building.  ~~Tips: Just enter from the first door you see. Menu might look pricey at first for the plates, but know that they each come with an appetizer. ~~Return: Yes.

    Wasn't a fan...considering the price, the taste and quality of the food was not up to expectations. We went as a large group and the server had an attitude as well...keep in mind no one was in the restaurant. My friends like it, but I probably won't go back.

    Attentive timely service. A wide menu with many options. They allow you to split your rice order to get a mix of rice/lentils. Bread, check, dipping oil with zaatar, check, cold dips, hot, you name it, they have it. Everything was cooked excellently and I have enough to nibble on left overs the next a.m. I hope to be back. Dress warm on a cold night, it was comfortable but not cozy.

    Extra Pita Bread
    Cal C.

    This is a great Lebanese spot in Bellevue, though it can be a little tricky to track down especially if you end up parking in the garage. Parking's free for three hours once you register, which is nice. We ordered the dinner plate that's meant for two to four people, and it easily fed our group of four along with a couple of appetizers. Service was warm and attentive, and the food delivered. The meat was tender and juicy, and the fresh pita came out so hot and steamy that I had to be careful picking it up.

    Shawarma Combo
    Joseph G.

    This is the best middle-Eastern food I've had in my entire life. I have tried at least a dozen different places before (all in North Carolina) and none of them come close. The falafel is so perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, the hummus is nice and creamy, and the shawarma combo plate is absolutely packed with flavorful protein. Do yourself a favor and pay Tanoor a visit if you're in the area.

    Complimentary bread, Olive Oil & Zaatar, garlic paste
    Emily Y.

    I've heard a lot of great things about Tanoor and was in the area, so decided to give them a try. We came in on a rainy Monday afternoon and were the only ones in the restaurant. We were promptly seated, given menus as well as water and complimentary bread with olive oil and zaatar to dip it in. We ended up ordering the mixed grill for 2-3 which includes beef kabob, lamb kabob, shish tawook (marinated chicken breast) and kefta (ground beef with spices formed into a kabob). It also came with your selection of 3 vegetarian appetizers. So we picked: -batata harra (Arabic word which translates to potatoes hot, they're in house made potatoes, with garlic paste on top and served with a side of shattah- which is a hot sauce/paste) -arnabeet (Arabic word for cauliflower- served with tahini paste that is mixed with lemon juice) and -stuffed grape leaves served with Tzatziki dip. Overall, all the food was great, fresh and flavorful. The meats were tender and perfectly cooked. The sides all tasted great. The garlic dip was perfectly garlicky. The portions were definitely more than enough for 3, maybe even 4 people. The restaurant did charge a service fee that I don't understand and the cost of the food was on the higher end $95 (after tax and the service fee), so on the pricier side - but again it was all freshly made and it's hard to find authentic Lebanese food in the state. Next time we're craving Lebanese food, we know where to go!

    Tanoor is one of the more pleasant surprises in my time in Seattle. I've always thought about the…read moreWestlake / SLU area as a food dessert. Filled with corporate slop bowls to fuel up tech bros, you won't find a decent meal anywhere on this side of the lake. But Tanoor is kind of like that special someone who has been there your whole life but you've always looked past for greener pastures. This restaurant was staring me right in the eyes for years, and I didn't realize how magnificent it was until today. When you walk in you are greeted by warm, fresh and fluffy pita. Guess what, IT COMES WITH THE MEAL! Everyone knows I'm a sucker for some free bread. But don't let these Lebanese pillows fill you up, the dip marathon has just begun. The menu here is unlike anything I've ever seen. You can get lost trying to figure out what to order for lunch, so I would advise consulting the waitstaff for guidance through this delightful maze. I just looked on their menu to figure out what the fries that I ate were called, and I can't find them for the life of me. But they had their own incredible dip completely covering them. At one point we had 4 different dips on the table, and I'm not sure how they got there. 1) The dip on the fries 2) Spicy hummus (not that spicy, incredibly tasty) 3) Za'tar that comes with the pita 4) Yogurt sauce that came with the Kabob combo Everything comes with something else here. And since I was having an electric conversation with my good friend, I sort of lost track of everything that we ordered. But if you love dipping things in other things as much as I do, you will love Tanoor!

I highly recommend the combo for two to three people as you get a variety of different appetizers and all of the main kabobs. However, a couple of things that really made this experience mediocre. First, the meat was overcooked even though I asked for medium rare. Most of the meat came out medium well. The rice was undercooked and hard when you bit into it. The server could have been more attentive.. didn't come back to check on us, even though the restaurant wasn't super busy. The biggest disappointment is that this establishment passes on a 5% fee to help pay for their staff's benefits. They stay it's optional and they can take it off but it's very distasteful. The owner should reconsider this and build this expense into the pricing of their menu. Otherwise their wait staff is going to feel slighted when customers leave less tip because of this additional fee. Overall, this is a solid place, but the experience was just average considering all aspects, and therefore the three star rating.

The signature saj bread is cooked fresh on a hot stone and is almost like a Middle Eastern flour tortilla with the way it's super thin and satisfyingly chewy bite. The only seating options are a few large benches on the sidewalk, but there's a poster saying you're welcome to sit at the neighboring bar which opens in the late afternoon provided you purchase a drink as well. Ended up sampling 3 of their wrap options and the Zaatar Wrap was deliciously nutty and fragrant, but texturally there was so many herbs that the center ate a little dry. The Lahme Khuruf (Lamb) was my favorite by far with super juicy ground meat with some tang from the labneh, sweetness, freshness from the tomato, and texture from the pine nuts. Absolute home run on this one! The Awarma and Cheese was a close second, but personally, the flavor profile was just a little less interesting than the lamb.

The saj bread itself tasted good, but got soaked through by the juice of the chicken and became very soggy. We walked to a park 10 minutes away to eat the wraps and the wraps were bending. The ingredients are fresh but nothing particularly stood out. I didn't quite taste the mushroom on the wrap, and on top of that, I got charged $2 for the hot sauce, but never tasted it in the wrap or found it on the side.

He told us that they're a couple and that they come by every year to lay eggs and they visit him every night for dinner during this time. He also told us that Cedars of Lebanon has been open for over 40 years and that it used to be so rowdy and exciting. So many people would gather around and spend time in his restaurant but now it's a lot quieter (I'm assuming this is because new, more novel places have been popping up on the Ave). I left this conversation so touched and full of love for this man, I genuinely wish him the best. His unprompted kindness towards a complete stranger and willingness to spend time chatting with us alone makes this place 5 stars for me, so many places lack this kind of passion and love that we could really use more of. this happened almost a year ago but I wanted to share my experience to highlight how wonderful of a man the owner is, hopefully we can continue to have nice things and no one abuses his kindness anyway I wanna go back and try their falafel apparently it's super good
