Their pita is warm, chewy yumminess! And the babaghanouge is one of the best I've found rivaling Mediterranean Kitchen in Bellevue. Note: the portions are huge. My daughter ordered the lentils and rice and it's family-size! Best of all, Filipe has been working here for years and was friendly and efficient and all around fantastic. Will definitely come again. read more

Clean and pretty and delicious. Be grateful for this restaurant; nothing is in your area; they took a chance to open there. Open you wallet and be nice. read more

Good food and ambiance. Service is good too. We have never had a bad meal. Highly recommend

The food is Amazing I tried the gluten-free chicken strips those were to die for! And my husband tried the Dajaj it came out looking really good and tasted just as good. The service was amazing everything came out fast the bread with the Zatar was amazing as well! read more

My wife and I came here for dinner and right off the bat we were really impressed by the beautiful decor and the very friendly service. They sat us down and served some fresh hot pitas which were wonderful. We started off with the Babaghannouge. It was very fresh and delicious. perfectly done with the right amount of seasoning and went nicely with the fresh hot pitas. We ordered the Shish Tawook that we wanted to split since we weren't very hungry. The dish itself was spectacularly good; very juice and flavorful chicken, fluffy and delicious rice and perfectly seasoned and spiced plate. My only complaint here is that they just assumed the extra chicken since we were sharing and served it with an extra skewer and also charged for it when we didn't really want the extra meat. In the end we had to stuff ourselves to finish it which took away from the experience. Overall I really liked the food and the experience; a little pricey but it does seem like a more upscale restaurant so it commands the prices I believe. I wish they hadn't slipped up on the extra chicken which is what made me dock a star since they didn't even seem to acknowledge that it was a mistake. Might go here again at some point to try more things on the menu. read more

Writing an updated review about our terrible experience this past weekend. We got here around 3pm and there were only a few people but we still waited about 20mins before anyone acknowledged us to to take our order. They had plenty of staff about 5 people working in the kitchen, 1 hostess, and 2 waiters but they all just hide out in the back instead of actually asking customers what they would like to order. Anyways we finally ordered and got our complimentary bread and oil 10mins later. For our main entrees I got the Shisk Tawook which is always mediocore but comes with nice side options with my favorite being the Battaa Harra (fries with spices) and a refreshing dipping sauce. For $19 its not bad necessarily and has rice and lentils too but the chicken does lack flavor. My friend got the Chicken Shawarma plate which lets just say never order this because the chicken smelled like it had gone bad and it was covered up with some yogurt sauce all over. Our waiter didn't come to ask us how our food was till 15mins later to which I informed her of the chicken situation and she accepted that the chicken had that foul gamey smell due to the fact it was cooked in broth and the mixing of the rice makes the flavors come out that way. Like seriously if you knew the chicken had gone bad why would you even serve it to your customers!? We asked for a refund since we were already through our food and they obliged. We then decided to take our chances on the Kanafeh for dessert which was a big no no because it was not authentic at all and was drenched with rose water and no orange color or crunchy vermicelli's on top. Also be aware they now charge a service fee to cover the kitchen staff plus ask for an additional tip for the servers. read more

My 6 year thought this place was "awesome". The beef and lamb kabobs were perfect done and had great flavor. The sides we ordered ( Batata vara, spicy hummus) were very delicious, authentic and went well with the warm bread. Last but not least, the bread makes this place! Will be back for sure! read more

Amazing food ! Great ambience!! Service is decent as well unless they are very busy !

The best Mediterranean food I have ever had with perfect ambiance. I ordered the grilled vegetable plate with yellow rice and Halloumi fries... all cooked to perfection. The order took less than 10 min to arrive. read more

On the way back from a hike, we stopped by Tanoor to pick up dinner. I ordered the Shawarma Combo and my fiance ordered the Falafel plate. We also ordered the Baklava trio which comes with traditional baklava, cashew finger baklava, & shredded wheat baklava. They offer huge portions here - lots of rice and generous amount of meat. There was enough food to eat another meal. I didn't love the texture of the beef & lamb shawama (a little bit dry and crumbly) but I thought the flavor was good. Next time, I would order the kabobs instead. However, I loved the babaghanouge that I ordered as a side with my platter. My fiance enjoyed his falafels but we both agreed our favorite part of the meal was the Baklava trio. All three types were delicious and was the perfect way to end the meal. read more

This has become my favorite restaurant on the plateau. Delicious vegetarian mezze appetizers. I love the cheese fatayir, arambeet, spicy hummus, halloumi fries and the batata harra fries. The mixed grill and their house made bread is amazing. read more

Food is authentic, service is slightly slow but servers are very nice to talk to. It's recommended to ask folks what to eat if you don't understand the menu items read more

Food came out severely undercooked had to send it back and wait 20 minutes for a new one

A place that delights and inspires with it's simple but effective design and a food that is memorable and affordable. The place is easy to reach with a lot of parking opportunities. The warm bread out of the Owen amplify the taste of the delicate dishes Service is authentic yet efficient. Last but not least the breathless 180' view. Fantastic experience... read more

Tanoor - Nice - Lebanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

This is the best Mediterranean food I have ever eaten. Fabulous flavors. However, I have to take two star away for the horrible service. For 1/2 there was no interaction with our waiter. He disappeared! Our neighboring tables also just sat staring at others. Food arrived before drinks. And it appears this type of service is assumed to be ok by waiters!! I would love to come back very frequently if the service improves. Great food! 5 stars!!! read more

I loved this place. It's very atmospheric place, only thing I would recommend to add some curtains to make the style full. The food was tasty. The wait time was a bit long, but reasonable to cook what we ordered. Will be coming back soon. Prices are pretty high, but reasonable for the area. read more

I'd seen this restaurant from Met Market, but only went recently based on a recommendation from a friend. It was mediterranean type food. I took my kids who got a gyros plate, and a falafel plate. I had a gyros sandwich. The price was reasonable for the kids meal and they got a good amount of food. Both enjoyed their meals. The waitress was friendly and allowed us to sub in rice for fries for the kids. My sandwich was very tasty, a bit heavy (greasy), but good. Second time we went waitstaff was less attentive, and we got a smaller portion for the kids meal. Still tasty. I'm not a fan of the 5% surcharge they put on the in-person dining, so plan to do take out next time. Seating area is nice. read more

I ordered beef and chicken shawarma from Tanoor Sammamish. Quite disappointed with the taste. Definitely had far better tasting shawarma. Not going back read more

Honestly the best Lebanese food I've had anywhere in the US. I highly recommend visiting the restaurant if possible too; the large windows make for an awesome atmosphere in summer months. Don't forget to have some naan bread! read more

Tanoor is the real deal! Food so tasty, fresh, and special. Their portions are generous! We absolutely love the shish tawook, the mezes, the lamb...also the batatas...spicy fries are the bommmb. Of note, they make pitas fresh to order in their oven...including gluten free. Amazing. Also of note--no alcohol served here read more

Love Tanoor! The fresh pita bread is amazing! We chose a meal for two that had a variety of meats and side dishes...yummy! Especially nice when they open the huge garage doors in the summer. read more

Amazing ambience, and friendly service. We went as a group and ordered the family mashawi for 3-4 along with 4 sides. Not sure about the original menu names but we got something with baked cauliflower, spicy hummus, falafel and garlic fries. The meat platter was good. We got the beef replaced with goat and well done , so the goat kebabs were actually very hard probably that was our fault , but I have tasted well done kebabs that are juicy too elsewhere. The goat and beef kafta was really juicy and tender. Not many dessert options. The pita bread is too too good, it was fresh warm and soft and we end up eating more . The restaurant is good for special occasions or hanging out with friends with ample of parking. read more

Amazing. This place blows me away every time I come. Everything is good, nothing is bad, literally. The meats are cooked to perfection, the cheese fatayar is delicious, and the rice tastes perfect. The service is also wonderful. This restaurant does not disappoint! Highly recommend this excellent spot. read more

Really uninspiring. I thought the food was really kind of bland. I have had more memorable middle eastern meals. It was okay. I have higher expectations. read more

We went there when it was fairly new. We just saw it from the outside and went in as we were looking for a nice place to eat. Place was busy which wasn't surprising. Beautiful ambience with good service. We loved the food (all veg) and the Turkish coffee read more

This is a gem of a place in the plateau that I have been frequently bringing people since they opened years ago. Its been a pleasure watching as more people have discovered the food and the service and it's made me so happy to see a full dining room compared to the 4 or 5 tables a night when it first opened. I remember sitting there when it first opened and watching a gentleman design some apps for the restaurant and seeing signs for staff training. I'm amazed at how consistently delicious the food has been. If you order a shawarma plate, do yourself a favor and order the extra toum (garlic sauce). read more

What a great place ! Great food, excellent customer service, and a beautiful view. Very authentic! Best things I had there so far: - Fresh bread - Lahme Bhajin - Shawarma Lebanese food at its best ! read more

Tanoor - The view - Lebanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

While I waited so long for the food, but I gave it 5 stars still because every dish was perfect! My favorite was the deep fried cauliflower. The lamp chops were very tender as well. I think they might be short staffed today. Special credit to our sweet and pretty server Riya, who made the wait not that bad. read more

Tanoor - Cauliflower - Lebanese Near Me - Sammamish, Washington

Tanoor opened today. I'm pleased to let the world know the wait has been worth it. My favorite takeaways from lunch: 1. Fresh, home made, Pita bread! 2. Babagabooj that is perfectly balanced and delicious. 3. Stunning interior decor. 4. Chicken Schwarma that is NOT over cooked. Instead it's well spiced, full of flavor, and just melted in my mouth. Stuffed inside a homemade pita only made it that much more delicious. Add in some garlic sauce, and... yum! 5. The Gyro meat, which they said is made here, is also delicious, although i had only a small sample. Parking is ample (for now), bathrooms are clean. This place is a very welcome addition to Sammamish!! read more

Their food just does not impress me for the price. The chicken shwarma platter is overwhelmed by onions and cilantro.

This spot is an absolutely must this summer months! There are so many hot dishes to choose from. With great sides. Several hot drink options too! Open year round. Great hours too. The space is great. Yet accommodating. They are open everyday. My favorite meals is the chicken shawarma! I came here with my friends, and we had a wonderful time here. The food is delicious, and the menu is really hard to choose from, since it's so good. You really can't go wrong with any of it from the food to the decor to the service! read more

I had hoped for more given the history of ratings and prices, but was very disappointed. We did the mixed grill for 2. There was so much rice compared to the rest of the food. Everything had the same flavor. Not worth the prices on the menu! read more

Visited Tanoor some time back. Food LOOKED yummy and it was a beautiful restaurant (hence the second star). That's where it stopped. I felt the person showing us to our table was pretty rude. I was made to feel like some low-grade person. I wore cargo pants and a humble hoodie, not fancy/branded stuff. Was that why? I was crawling through the reviews from other people, and I did find others commenting on the restaurant's rudeness as well. There was even a review where the owner of the business was trash-talking the reviewer that made a similar observation. Guess I'll just wait for the owner to humiliate me in Yelp as well. read more
