    Lamb is a bomb spicy, but not hot
    Youssef A.

    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.

    Came by for dinner the other night and it was a decent experience. Made a reservation from the website and the reservation has been stuck on "pending" for the last 2 weeks. Yelp reservations are available only the day of, or the following day... Parking was available on the street. Meat started off with complimentary pita bread with some dipping sauce. Started off with the cheese bourak which were phenomenal. Super light cheese in a phyllo dough pastry. The kafta entree was also decent. 3 pieces of flavorful and tender meatballs along with a huge bed of white rice along with a side of vegetables. The dining room is more of an older luxury model, including the bathroom. ~$33/head after tax and gratuity for dinner.

    10 years and a Groupon ago, I visited and indulged in some delicious Lebanese food at Tannourine...apparently, I failed to write a review then so writing a well-deserved 5 star one now. :) Recently visited on a Friday around 7:15 pm with plenty of seating...only 1 other table of 6. Immediately welcomed and seated by the window upon request, given menus and water...menu has a variety of traditional Lebanese items with lamb, chicken along with vegetarian dishes to choose from :: Complimentary yogurt with olive oil, Zatar and sesame seeds with freshly made pita - 5/5 :: Meze Combo platter: tabbouleh, nicely smoked eggplant, hummus. | with 3 hot items - one of each: we add another set for additional $4 * Kebbeh - similar texture to falafel but mixed with ground beef/lamb * Cheese burak - Haloumi cheese, fresh mint wrapped in layers of filo dough - flaky with lightly salted, warm cheese * Sambousek - Dough stuffed w/ ground beef, onions, pine nuts and spices - flaky crust, nice filling - 4/5 - pastry was melt in your mouth, but didn't taste any pine nuts The mezze platter was mostly vegetarian with the addition of hot items with 2 having meat. :: Stewed lamb shanks in a tomato sauce, bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Served with rice - tender, flavorful and delicious - 4/5 (some parts seemed salty) :: Stewed cubes of tender lamb with vegetables (carrots, potatoes, zucchini) in a tomato sauce. Served with couscous. 4/5 With the complimentary pita and yogurt and ordering the mezze combo was very filling....sampled the entrees but took most of it to go as we were pretty full. All wonderful flavors and textures with variety of menu options to try in the future. Only dessert option is baklava but finished off with a hot tea. Will definitely return and not wait so long...great food and hospitality at this family-run business. Price/person including tax/tip: $41 (2 non-alcoholic drinks) Plenty of free street parking. By 8:45 pm, there were 4 other tables and 1 large party of 10

    Amazing food. Great service. I recommend this place. Try going on days when there is Bellydance

    Kibbeh B'laban - 9.1/10 Cant go wrong with Authentic lebanese home cooked meal that reminds me of home

    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.

    Kabob plate of chicken and beef!

    This is my first time trying Lebanese food. I've had Mediterranean food, but not specifically Lebanese before. I arrived today which is a Wednesday at 5:15pm. At the time, the restaurant was empty and we were seated immediately. I asked for any recommendations which was the kebab plate. We also ordered a chicken shawarma. The entrees came about 20 minutes after we ordered. The complimentary bread with yogurt was really good. It reminds me of cream cheese. The yogurt was just slightly sour, but it wasn't overpowering. Quite mouthwatering, for sure! I had to stop myself from accidentally eating too much, incase I didn't have enough room for the entrees! Both entrees were tasty but my favorite would be the beef in the kebab plate. You can view ur in the second photo. It's the meat in the middle. Also, the rice on the plates isn't plain rice. It reminds me of coconut rice, but it wasn't sweet. The rice is flavorful and savory. I wish I could describe it better, but it's a new flavor to me. After the meal, we were asked if we would like coffee and dessert. Unfortunately, I didn't save enough room but I would definitely like some next time. I really like baklava and I saw they have it in their photos as well. Good spot to try out if you haven't yet!

The hummus was rich, smooth, and elevated with just the right seasoning and fresh greens--it honestly tasted better than most places I've been to. The pita bread was warm and fresh, which makes a huge difference. And the basmati rice? Perfectly seasoned and flavorful--not bland like you sometimes get elsewhere. The meat itself tasted like it was fresh off the grill--tender, juicy, and full of flavor. Even the presentation was impressive--you can tell they take pride in what they serve. Only downside? It's a bit far from me... otherwise I'd be here all the time. If you're anywhere near Burlingame, this place is a must-try. Definitely a hidden gem!

We got it to go for us already multiple times and I absolutely love their chicken breast (it's flavorful) and so is their rice (super delicious); their hummus is the best hummus ever - it's tangy, bright, fresh and delicious (my only comment is to please add less oil on top of the hummus and it would make it even more phenomenal!) I have tried their beef kebab, and their beef shawarma, but chicken is where it's at. Deducting 1.5 stars as I notice for the à la cart kebabs the portion sizes varies SIGNIFICANTLY from one order one day to another order another time. For context, when we order à la cart chicken kebabs, they are $10 and you get 3 pieces, which is pretty small, but sometimes you get more per order. I think 3 pieces is pretty small for $10 as they are smaller pieces so I wish they were consistent Can't comment on service of ambience as I haven't been physically to the restaurant as we have only taken it go multiple times. I will review them again on consistency once I try this spot again

With a group that large, accuracy and organization really matter, which is why it was concerning when our server insisted on taking all of our orders without writing anything down.

We were understanding and gave the restaurant a chance to fix the mistakes, but even after the food was remade, a few of the orders were still incorrect. That made the situation even more frustrating. On top of that, we had to wait an additional 45 minutes, which is a long time when people in your group are sitting there hungry while others have already been served. What made the experience worse was that nothing was done to make up for the inconvenience. There was no meaningful apology, no effort to compensate for the repeated mistakes, and no sense of urgency in resolving the issue. The food itself was mediocre at best, so unfortunately it did not make up for the poor service. Overall, the service was disorganized, the food was underwhelming, and the entire experience was frustrating. I would not return based on this visit.
