Wow!! Super delicious!! Went with a group of 6 friends and everyone loved the the food!! Lots of fantastic vegetarian options. I ordered the Mjadra and we shared the Fattoush salad, tabouleh, and pickles. My friends also got the veggie combo and falafel wrap.I had a different salad which came with my mjadra and both that salad and the Fattoush salad had crazy yummy dressing. I loved them so much I asked if they sold the dressing separately to go and she said they didn't but she gave me a generous portion of each to take home with me...no charge!!

The lamb shank was excellent. The taboulleh was great and in the style that favors parsley. The dolma was fresh and moist with a hint of red pepper. Overall, really good Middle Eastern food - coming from someone that grew up with these foods.

Quiet weeknight dinner spot along 25th. I met up with my sister in the area and we decided on Tannourine for dinner. The place had just two other parties dining inside, so service was prompt and well-paced. Before we placed our order, we received a basket of warm pita bread and a yogurt dip which was a nice start to the meal. We got a few small plates to share -- bourak (fried halloumi), babaganoush, and hummus with chicken shawarma. All the mezze/appetizers tasted great! Everything was fresh and flavorful and enough for leftovers between two diners. Ask for a side of hot sauce to complement your dishes or add a little kick. My favorite item was the hummus which was topped with a good portion of chicken shawarma and white sauce. Overall, I would definitely go back to try an entree or wrap based on the quality of all the food!

4.5 stars overall. Service was good even though the whole street is dead and closed on Sundays. We were the only people at the restaurant at 2:30 PM. A few people stop by to pick up some food. I think they are bigger on catering. I'll be on probably dancing, because I have the ceiling lights for that but again Sunday afternoon the whole street is dead. Mezze was five out of five, except for the Kibby 3/5 Lamb shank 5/5 Parking is two hours free in the street you can walk 50 m or 20 m to make it. Bread was hot, but it was the thick bread and I don't like it because it's too much gluten. But the side was crunchy and thin. I will come back and and order either Mazzy or lamb shank because it's too much for two people, unless you are me , 25 years ago haha.

I would definitely come back to Tannourine. Im surprised the place wasnt that busy for such amazing food! Service was great and the waitress was very attentive. The food was brought out pretty quick. Cool vibe.

This is an iraqi-lebanese restaurant, very authentic, we tried over 10+ dishes, with a group of Arabs and everything was perfect, 100% authentic like being in the middle east. This is the best Arabic food in the bay area hands down, it's a must try place. The only place that has stews that you will never find anywhere else. The service is great, the owners are very nice, the atmosphere is calm and elegant ,and the energy is beautiful. I would go every day if I could. The prices are very reasonable for the high quality food.

I recommend them closing the restaurant 3 hours before the event hours begin since if you’re not an event guest, the whole place would be pretty much desertedKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes
