Tanoor Bellevue

Food is great!! Perfect if you are craving some takeout or if you want to dine in! I love the fresh bread with hummus. Food is perfectly cooked and seasoned.

We were a party of 3 and went around 1:00-1:15 PM on a Saturday. Parking in the garage needs a registration and the qr code info is on the restaurant entrance/door. (3 hours free parking). We did get a table soon and didn't have to wait long. The location is nice and so is the ambience. We ordered the following - Beef and Lamb Shawarma Beef and Lamb Shawarma sandwich Chicken Shawarma (with yellow and lentil rice half) Each platter comes with a side and we ordered the hummus and the muhammara. The pita bread served along with the sides was fresh and good. The main plates were decent and I wouldn't say it was good or great. The service was good except for the fact that she forgot to get us the pita we asked for and remembered when she passed by us. For a party of less than 6, they have an optional service charge of 5% which was made mandatory on my check/bill. I had to reduce the tip amount considering that I have paid 5% along with the bill. There was a mention on the bill/check, asking if we would like to get that optional charge removed, we need to talk to their staff (i noticed that only after coming out of the restaurant).

I love gyros. When I visit cities, my first places to look for food are usually either something towards the Mediterranean or sushi. The service I marked as a three because they could use a little bit more perception to acknowledge the guests who just arrived and are kind of lost. There's two rooms to this place and they have to go through a hallway so there's a lot of stuff going on if it's busy. I ordered to go after waiting for about 5 minutes to flag someone down. But once they took my order they were cool and they recommended which pita sandwich I was interested in. I judge new restaurants if they have yours by their gyro sandwiches or shawarma. As I was waiting for my food I was salivating looking at all the big dishes they were bringing out to all the tables and I was a little jealous that I didn't order one of those. But the portions looked extremely large so maybe that's a good thing LOL. I can't speak to the actual dining experience itself that some people Express their grievances on their reviews here and Google. But I will tell you for a to go order, I am a satisfied customer This gyro hit it out of the park. It's a Lebanese style gyro. With the cuts and taste a little different from a Greek style gyro. This thing was balanced perfectly with the meat, sauce, tomatoes and onions. Usually you get places where they compensate for cheap quality, low quantity meat and then overload it with too much onions and sauce or something. This is great. Every bite I enjoyed in my hotel room. If you are in town for work, just want a good meal to take back to your room, this will hit the spot. Can't wait to come back to try to chicken shawarma. It was a hefty filling gyro and well worth the money. Just just over $17 I got the gyro with one of their house pita breads. The stomach is satisfied. I will be back. Edit. Have returned twice since. Food still great. Service needs work tho... Need to be more attentive to customers who need to leave or need basic follow up like refills or checking how the food is etc. Table next time last visit could tell they were visibly frustrated trying to get someone to come by. Finally when they did, they just dropped off the bill quickly then ran off when the credit card was clearly in their hand ready to pay from the portable CC reader. As for me. No 2 minute follow up on how my food was. Vanished long enough asking if I needed a refill on my water... After I had already finished my meal. Could have used it 10 min before. I had to look over the wall a few times and saw the servers conversing a lot. One made eye contact then turned away pretending they didn't see me. Had to flag the greeter to get my server to close out. Longest lunch ever for a gyro and only 2 other tables in the section I sat at. Food still good tho.

Tanoor Mediterranean delivers a truly authentic experience—so much so, I felt like I was in the Middle East, not Bellevue, WA. Highly recommend for anyone craving true Mediterranean soul food. Every dish had beautiful balance: the spice, acid, and richness were perfectly tuned. The Muhammara was bold and vibrant, with red pepper, walnuts, and pomegranate molasses that layered beautifully. The Labneh was smooth and tangy, topped with olive oil and za’atar—simple but full of flavor. We also tried the stuffed grape leaves, hummus, and the Shawarma Combo (beef, lamb, and chicken), which came topped with tahini and fresh herbs, served with toum and our choice of rice and cold veggie mezza. Every bite showed care, tradition, and serious knowledge of ingredients. #TanoorBellevue #MediterraneanEats #AuthenticMiddleEasternFood #BellevueEats #ShawarmaLove #MiddleEasternFlavors

We had high hopes returning to this restaurant after a fantastic first experience—great food, friendly service, and everything done right. Unfortunately, our second visit last Sunday was a complete letdown. From the start, the service was incredibly slow. It took forever just to get menus, and even longer to place our order. When we finally got our water, we were shocked to find a bug floating in one of the glasses—not exactly what you want when you're trying to enjoy a meal. We ordered the cheese fatayer, which we remembered loving the first time. But this time, it came out raw—literally. The dough was uncooked and doughy in the center. We sent it back, hoping it was just a one-time mistake. They brought out a second batch, but it was still the same—completely undercooked. We had to send it back again and ended up giving up on the dish altogether. It’s disappointing to see such a drop in quality and attention to detail. We really wanted to make this a regular spot, but after this experience, we're not sure if we’ll be back. Here's hoping they take this as a wake-up call and get back to the standard they once set.

I thought we would be overpaying for mid-tier Lebanese food, but holy smokes with the portion sizes and flavors, Tanoor is WORTH the price of admission! Deliciously juicy and flavorful meats with rice that can hold its own. The leftovers the day after were also superb!

It’s time to catch up on our double date before 2025. The food at Tanoor Lebanese is absolutely amazing, so delicious and flavorful. Everything is incredibly appetizing and savory, from the hummus to the meat and the bread, omg! Plus, the staff are so friendly, making it the perfect spot for a great dinner and a good catch-up. You should definitely try it!

I was delighted by the taste of everything we ordered. The portion size is good and the price is reasonable as well. I liked to dine here rather than having takeout. We ordered arambeet plate, cheese fatayir and Lebanese falafel plate for which we had the option of choosing an appetizer so we went with batata harra fries. The fries were fresh and crispy which was served with the batata sauce and it tasted amazing.

Halal dining in Seattle transformed when Tanoor arrived (was it 2019?), elevating the halal scene from mostly fast-casual nature to a true dining experience. I always share this anecdote - Tanoor created a simple yet my most favorite restaurant moment by starting serving their complimentary pita and dip upon being seated. Watching their freshly baked pita emerge from the oven, warm and fragrant, with steam escaping as I tear it open, never gets old. The slightly dry crust and velvety, moist interior are pure perfection, when paired with olive oil and za'atar. It's a comforting pleasure that always lifts my mood, something I could enjoy it forever. While i go to their other locations, This was my first visit to their Bellevue location, I was struck by how modern, spacious, and stunning the space is. Ample parking, a separate banquet hall, beautifully decorated interiors with a blend of eastern and western touches, serene prayer room to the glimpse of the bustling kitchen filled with fresh preparations, everything about this place stands out. The service was equally warm and welcoming. While I tried their mezzes, entrees, and dessert, this review is all about their mezzes. Mezze dishes, whether appetizers or mains, are the heart of Middle Eastern & Lebanese cuisine, and Tanoor so excels in them that I felt their mezzes deserve their own spotlight--so here it is! Halloumi Fries Strips of halloumi cheese, lightly coated and fried to a golden perfection, created a crisp exterior while remaining soft and chewy inside. The cheese's natural saltiness paired beautifully with the herby tang of za'atar yogurt and the sweet richness of pomegranate molasses--a perfect harmony of flavors. This dish was always my absolute favorite and there was no exception this time! Cheese Fatayir Mild, slightly salty, and creamy middle eastern cheese melted beautifully within soft, fresh dough, creating Lebanese pies baked to perfection in a clay oven - I love the blend of savory, herby, and buttery goodness. Another favorite. Beef & Lamb Sfiha Middle Eastern pastry resembling a mini flatbread or open-faced pie. A flavorful filling of spiced ground beef and lamb, mixed with onions, parsley, and sumac, delivered a signature savory and slightly tangy taste. Baked to perfection, the dough had crisp edges while the meat stayed juicy and tender--a delightful balance of texture and flavor. LOved it. Arambeet Flash-fried cauliflower topped with tahini, parsley, and spices. The cauliflower had a slight crunch on the outside and a melt-in-your-mouth texture inside. Bursting with rich, vibrant flavors, every bite was absolutely amazing, the most flavorful mezze on the table! Batata Harra Hand-cut fries topped with creamy toum and a sprinkle of Aleppo pepper are a flavorful treat. Toum, a traditional Lebanese garlic sauce added a slight tangy velvety kick and the batata harra sauce added spiciness and smokiness--this is my all time favorite. On this particular occasion the fries were not much crispy but it always was in my previous visits. Falafel Patties Fried patties were perfectly crispy, use herbs & spices to the spot and it was moist creamy inside. served with pickled turnip, pepperoncini & tahini I enjoyed it. Muhammara Muhammara is probably the most complex mezze where you taste everything , smokiness from of roasted red peppers, nuttiness from walnuts, creaminess from breadcrumbs, angy sweetness of pomegranate molasses, freshness from parsley and olive oil add freshness and a silky finish, I love you Muhammara and Tanoor does justice to your name. Spicy Hummus Creamy chickpea dip might be very common, but the Tanoor has slight spicier version version is particularly delicious, with hints of sesame paste, garlic, lemon & spices, topped with olive, parsley & olive oil, the best Hummus in the town? Mezzes are a celebration of Lebanese and Middle Eastern flavors and Tanoor makes it real. It's that one place where i am always ready to make a long trip just for their Mezzes. What's your favorite mezze at Tanoor?

Visited Tanoor Bellevue for the first time! Been a regular at SLU location and love the ambiance there. Bellevue branch is smaller and service is slow. Had to ask for the complimentary bread ourselves and had to wait quite a long time to order food. The fries and spicy hummus were the highlight. Falafel plate was also good. Got flash fried cauliflower appetizer - not too flavorful. Definitely prefer appetizers and dips over entrees.

Wow. Tanoor... is just incredible. I've been here three times - twice for takeout and once dining in with a bunch of people and I've never had a bad experience. Here's what you can expect. I'm often nearby this location, so haven't had to deal with parking, but I do know there are plenty of parking structures nearby, so you can expect that parking will at least be easy. I don't know if it's free, though. Dining in with a group of people was a really enjoyable experience. We had a few people who knew a lot about the menu and cuisine, so they took charge and ordered a ton of different stuff. I honestly... am ignorant of what I was eating, but I'm not picky and not allergic to anything... so, it was heaven trying a bunch of new stuff. Everything was seriously so great and the portions are gigantic. My food highlights are... some of the things I can pronounce and easily remember (remember? ignorant.): the hummus (omg... if you've only ever had store-bought hummus... this is just like... transcendent - so rich and flavorful), the Halloumi fries (special cheese with seasonings and stuff - wow, everyone loved these)... and then the chicken shawarma (well seasoned, shredded chicken with warming spices, sauce(s) on top, served with yellow rice and vegetables on the side). The price is pretty high. My takeout orders were $27-ish for spicy chicken shawarma with rice. However, it's a pretty big portion and comes with a side (I got hummus and pita)... I ended up taking a good amount to take home on both occasions. So... that combined with it being in Bellevue... its high, but okay.

Love this place and their food. It looks a bit dated compared to the Seattle location but bet you won't have any issues with it because the food makes up for it. Went with a bunch of friends and they served us well. Got their family platter and got to try so many things.

Super awesome dining experience at Tanoor! Our waiter Julian was very attentive and took great care of us. Food was fantastic. Everyone enjoyed their food and we had to take some food to go since portions are big. Plenty of seating between the 2 spaces they have. Restroom is outside in the hall.

Again- super happy for more food diversity in Bellevue. The restaurant is huge and love that they have a kids menu, although the chicken tenders came out a bit more peppery than expected. The prices at first glance seem high but the main dishes come with appetizer and rice so it's actually quite a lot of food. The free pita bread they give in the beginning is DELICIOUS. Honestly probably my favorite part. I loved all the apps. My beef schwarma was a bit dry. Service was friendly but towards the end of our meal it was clearly very busy and we had to wait quite long for our water to be filled. Overall great addition to Bellevue and would definitely come back!

To start, food, service, ambiance was welcoming and fabulous. We had the halloumi fries - fabulous fried cheese and arambeet plate with fried spiced cauliflower, rice and lentils, a side of labneh all accompanied by freshly baked warm pita with olive oil and spices as accompaniment. I look forward to continuing through the menu and bringing more folks here...

Today was my first time at this restaurant. I was there for a late lunch around 2:30. The restaurant design is a little strange starting with the restaurant main entrance. After waiting for few minutes to be seated finally the young gentleman who was baking the bread called someone to get me seated. My server was a nice lady and she recommended the beef kabobs sandwich as it was her favorite. So I went for it and the sandwich was delicious with good quality beef. There was there enough beef where every single bite I took has beef in it. So the sandwich was very good. I ordered a side of Humus which was an average. I had much better. They also provide freshly baked pita bread which was good when it was hot only. . The Zaatar dip that goes with the bread was a nice touch too. Now the most amazing part was the Mint Lemonade, that was one of the best mint lemonade I had in my life. So so so delicious.

It's time to catch up on our double date before 2025. The food at Tanoor Lebanese is absolutely amazing, so delicious and flavorful. Everything is incredibly appetizing and savory, from the hummus to the meat and the bread, omg! Plus, the staff are so friendly, making it the perfect spot for a great dinner and a good catch-up. You should definitely try it!

We've tried their other locations and glad they've got one closer to our home with the same great Persian food! Most of their choices come ima combo set and our go to items include the steak and chicken sishkabob or the shawarma dishes. Their fresh cut fries are awesome wswlcially when topped with their garlic sauce! The setting is very modern and unlike their classic look at the Lake Union location we enjoyed the vibe! Our server was good and attentive to our needs and regularly checked up on us. Can't wait to go back again!

Took a bit of effort to find the right entrance to the restaurant but once we found it we were quickly seated and given water, bread, and dip. It was our first time at the restaurant so we weren't sure what to get, so our waiter recommended the family mashawi so that we could try a number of things, and whether it's your first time or your hundredth time I would also recommend this to get more value for your money and to try more food! For our sides we got the arambeet and cheese fatayir which were my two favorite things of the meal. I thought the meat could've been a bit more flavorful though. This place was definitely a bit on the pricier side but consider this is downtown Bellevue the price is also expected. Overall I had a good experience!

Maybe we got a bad night for a to-go order but the pita was on the stale side and the gyro plate was on the bland and one dimensional side. The toum was light and creamy but also a little light on flavor.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. There is free parking in the garage with the Park Mobile App. We were seated but water was not served until after we had ordered and after the homemade pita with dip came out and after I had to ask for water. I asked what the dip was made of as it was more like a paste. Apparently sesame seeds, olive oil, sumac and some other spices. It wasn't exactly a dip but also wasn't easily spreadable either with a knife. The waitstaff appeared to be very young, inexperienced and not intuitive (how can you not serve water when customers are seated?) though they were pleasant enough so I rounded up their rating for that. We ordered the fried cauliflower plate with mixed rice (yellow rice and lentils), The cauliflower was OK but everything else was bland including the tahini sauce. The "salad" which was just lettuce, a mound of chopped tomatoes and a purple pickled vegetable (radish perhaps?) had zero dressing on it: In other words: no flavor. Perhaps the tahini sauce was supposed to be put on the "salad" but as I mentioned previously the tahini sauce was also bland. It needs more salt and garlic and maybe some acidic component to it. We also ordered the chicken Schwarma plate with mixed rice but it only came with yellow rice. The chicken was sliced very thin (thinner than deli meat) and then broken up into very small pieces of meat. The dish itself hardly had any meat. It was mostly rice. The baba ganoush was good with a nice smoky flavor. The complimentary pita was good while it was hot but as soon as it cooled, it was hard. It's a large restaurant space but I think it's a strange set-up with waitstaff milling around behind a half wall of part of the long narrow dining area. I also saw a group of patrons come to the outside entrance and then had to go through the restaurant to the other entrance where the host stand was only to be led back through the restaurant to their table. To me this shows strange set-up and/or lack of experience from the staff. I'm puzzled by the high reviews and am not interested in visiting this restaurant again. Maybe we didn't order the right dishes but it was a mediocre unmemorable experience with below average service and food that was flavorless.

- Great food, service could be better - Food: 4 Price: 3 Service: 3 Ambiance: 4 Overall: 3.5 My friends and I came here on a Saturday, and they sat us down outdoors in the back. We had the same conversations about seat arrangement with 2 different servers, perhaps their communication wasn't that good..? Our first outdoor seats stank so badly that we had to get seats near the entrance. We have 6 people, so we just ordered the most expensive item on the menu: mixed grill for four-six. We got the combination rice (yellow rice, lentiles & rice), medium rare meat (weirdly that option isn't on the menu), hummus, babaghanouge, cheese fatayir, batata harra, and halloumi fries. They also provide unlimited bread here, and they are really good with the olive oil. All the vegetarian mezze (small appetizers) that we ordered with the combo were delicious, but my fav were the halloumi fries (basically cheese sticks), cheese fatayir, and the hummus. I'm usually not a hummus person, but their hummus is delicious. They split the main dish into two plates for easy sharing. Everything was good but a bit too well done IMO, maybe that's because I was expecting medium rare, but that's not an option lol. I ordered a hot tea halfway, but they forgot about it until we were almost done with our meal. I got the Wassim Tea, which is a mix of black tea, Saddaf Earl Grey, Moroccan mint green tea, and hibiscus tea. Wassim is the owner's name, and he mixed the tea leaves for brewing. It's like a minty English breakfast tea with a hint of hibiscus. It's interesting but not my cup of tea :p. Overall, I enjoyed my meal here and it's probably one of the best Mediterranean foods that I've eaten. The price was about $36 per person, which is typical for Bellevue.

Fairly disappointing. The fries were quite good, but nothing else was enjoyable. The lamb and beef shawarma was very bland and dry, the onions on top seemed a few days old. The salad also had old lettuce and un-mixed oily dressing. Dolmas were sour and soggy.

I had an amazing experience at Tanoor in Bellevue! I ordered the Batata Harra and the Mixed Kabob Plate, which included chicken, beef, and lamb served with flavorful yellow rice. The meats were cooked to perfection--medium rare, just the way we like it. We also tried the Spinach Fatayer, and it was absolutely delicious. The restaurant's ambiance is stunning, with beautiful decor that enhances the overall dining experience. On top of that, the customer service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. From the exceptional food to the inviting atmosphere, everything exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Tanoor to anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine in a gorgeous setting!

Such a great place to eat Halal Authentic Lebanese food. Must try it at least once in a life. Don't miss it! Freshly brewed tea, Foul and veggie mezzas so delicious. Definitely will come back. Also they have a prayer room so that you enjoy your time and meal and don't miss your prayers.

This place is amazing! I've been to both the Issaquah and South Lake Union locations, but both are a bit out of the way for me. When I saw one next to my office in Bellevue I knew I had to come try! I've been twice now to Bellevue and it's delicious every time! I recommend getting the gyro plate with either the spicy hummus or the batata harra as the side dishes. The freshly baked pita is so good as well. Everyone is so nice and friendly! It's a quiet spot tucked away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Bellevue. I took all my friends from my office and it was splendid!

I was SO excited to hear Tanoor was opening in Bellevue, after trying and loving their Sammamish location. Glad to say that the food lived up to my memory of it and I can still say this is some of the best Lebanese food I have ever had! The food is so delicious, fresh, and flavorful, and service was fantastic. Loved everything we had, but the spicy hummus and batata harra are not to be missed. I'll be telling everyone I know to try it!

First time trying Lebanese food and it won't be my last! It was pretty empty when we went in but that just meant we were seated earlier. The service was amazing, when our knefehs came out late they gave it to us on the house! Our faves were the cheese fatayir which was buttery and super cheesy, and the mixed plate for 2-3, the lamb and chicken were AMAZING. The knefeh was not our fav, I think we were better off without it but at least it was free! Definitely recommend coming by here for a nice dinner

food was AMAZING, just like the other locations! the appetizers were great, highly recommend batata harra (and their hummus which is amazing). Gyro plate was to die for and highly recommend the yellow rice with this!! The lentil rice goes great with the arambeet plate (cauliflower) - but the veggies on the side of the plate were not as good. Their servings are very large as you get to pick an appetizer with most platters (ordered 3 mains with appetizers for 4 people). They also give complimentary bread and olive oil which was super soft and pillowy!! Highly recommend for multiple people or if you want leftovers the next day There's free parking for up to 3 hours in the Elements Plaza just below but you need to register via QR code.

Had the chicken shawarma sandwich. It was filled with great flavors and fresh ingredients. Will definitely be back!

This restaurant has recently opened, so the decorations and permanent seating are not in place yet. However, according to the owner, by August, the restaurant will be fully prepared with everything. It is smaller in size, but they do have an additional room that can accommodate more people. It has replaced the lunchbox laboratory, so if you have been to that location before, you will have an idea of how the setup will be. The food here tastes just as good as their other two locations, which is a positive aspect for them to maintain consistency. I wish them the best of luck in this new location and I am eagerly looking forward to seeing it after the grand opening in August!

Came in on a random weeknight, was seated right away, service is great and attentive. We ordered a few appetizers and grilled meats. Was all delicious! The pita is freshly baked in house and the zaatar dip was perfect. Try the mint lemonade!

A little on the pricer side of Mediterranean restaurants. But great food that you can tell was made fresh to order. Had the chicken shawarma sandwich and the bread was freshly made and the flavors were great. Service was amazing. Free parking made it easy to park and go up the elevator to the restaurant. Prayer room on site .

So good!! A hidden gem. Parking is free for 3 hours in the building. Food was delicious and flavorful. I thought the "plates" were a little expensive but once the food came the price was justified. Generous portions and well seasoned. Service was good too.

So surprised to see this place pop up in Bellevue one of the best Lebanese places that I've had

Really solid and a great replacement to the burger place that had gone downhill. Took my kids here who had never (knowingly) had Lebanese food and the mixed grill was a hit. "I could eat this hummus every day" -12 year old direct quote. Friendly waiter and well done decor. Just wish they had mutabal!

I never leave reviews, but the food here was so fire I now want to go to Lebanon and see what they're all about for myself. 10/10

Great food in a beautiful space. Lucy gave us great service. I especially loved the shawarma.

We've previously dined at the location in Seattle. At this Bellevue location, we found the food to be on par (i.e., really good), the service to be slightly better, and the ambiance to be slightly less appealing. The complimentary garage parking is definitely a relative bonus.

Food was good, service was great. Lucy was our server and she went above and beyond. Ambiance was nice too, but very quiet on a Wednesday.

Bataya Hara was superb. Everything else we ordered was also so tasty and fresh. Rice was soft and cooked fresh.

I am delighted to see Tanoor in Bellevue; before that I was driving to Sammamish to dine there or buy takeout. The food is always fresh and delicious. Seasonings on point! Enjoyed the falafel and vegetable mezze plate. Very generous portions. Service is great! See you again Tanoor Bellevue!

Great food, good service, reasonably priced. Lots of food. Had to take some home. New location still waiting on better inside furniture but no problem for me!!

Great Host , great food and great service from our waiter .The host constantly checked on us ,creating a bond with us allowing us to feel welcomed .Over all the staff was amazing .Wish i could meet the manager

good food, recommend the lahme bajeen and mint lemonade. all the appetizers are good too. Although ask for less sugar on the lemonades though, they're pretty sweet but fresh!

Lucy was great! Very good service and the food was fantastic. Just wish the owner wasn't homophobic.

i start working bellevue and I got this Halal restaurant, its really clean and owner is so nice and staffs are also kind, helpful . I'm taking my break and enjoying my Shawarma cambo

The food was absolutely phenomenal! The meat was incredibly soft and full of flavor, definitely the best in town. We had the meat platter and some side dishes. Every dish had so much flavor, that paired so well with everything and honestly, we can't wait to go back. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner of the restaurant, who was so helpful and kind. Definitely recommend this restaurant!!
