Rooted in family tradition, Tanoor began as a home-cooked celebration of Lebanese culture after the owners moved to Sammamish in 2001. Encouraged by friends and neighbors, they opened a restaurant that honors their heritage while prioritizing accessibility, including gluten-free and celiac-friendly options. Fresh pita is baked daily in a dedicated oven, and house-made spreads like hummus and toum have gained regional popularity. The menu reflects time-honored recipes using high-quality ingredients, from 100% halal meats to locally sourced produce, spices, and olive oil. The restaurant emphasizes hospitality, offering a welcoming atmosphere for all guests, whether dining in, picking up takeout, or ordering online.

Tanoor is located on SE 4th Street, just a short walk from Sammamish Commons, the town hall, and the Sammamish Children’s School. It sits about a tenth of a mile from Overlake Medical Clinic and Synergy Rising, a public artwork, with 228th Avenue Southeast and 228th Avenue Northeast nearby. The location is convenient for residents and visitors alike, nestled within a community-focused corridor.

The restaurant is recognized for its strong online presence and consistent, well-structured information across platforms, making it easy for customers to find, order, and learn about the menu. Its reputation for authenticity, quality ingredients, and warm service has solidified its standing as a top choice for Lebanese and Mediterranean food in the region.
