3 decades of loyal dining at the Old Mediterranean proves how amazing the food is here…read more OK, when I need a blast of garlic throughout my body the Mediterranean Kitchen is my pit stop... A friendly greeting as I walk into the establishment which is always welcome. A bowl of hot soup comes quickly after taking a seat... Pondering through the menu which I know by heart I order either the Shish Tawook, which is charbroiled tenderized chicken served over rice with a garlic sauce, YUM. However if that's not grabbing me I get the Kafta Kabob served over Yellow Rice, Hummus, Salad and Pita Bread to scoop up all those flavors. Occasionally I have the best of all world plate which is The Combination Plate featuring the Kabob Kafta kabob, Shish Tawook and lamb kabob charbroiled with tomatoes and onions. Now if that does not excite you nothing will... The place can get a rocking loud cause it's not huge but it has all the comforts of a big loud family meal. Parking is limited so be patient but the food is worth it 1000%.... And bring some mints cause it's a garlic night out...

It took the waiter a while to get our order due to it getting busy but the waiters were both really nice and the food was definitely worth the wait! The chicken was our favorite and was super fragrant and tender. We also loved the hummus! The lamb was also good and tasted really good mixed with all the other ingredients. Will be back!

Our go-to order every time is the meat platter for two, and it never disappoints. It comes with three veggie sides, which balance everything perfectly. The meat is incredibly juicy, flavorful, and cooked just right, tender with that perfect char. You can really taste the quality and seasoning in every bite. The portions are generous, the presentation is great, and the overall vibe makes you want to stay and enjoy your time. Whether it's a date night or just a nice dinner out, Tanoor always delivers. Service was excellent as well, our server was fast and polite. Already looking forward to our next visit!

The fresh bread and zaatar are a nice, unique touch, and the hummus is authentic and well done. The main dishes didn't quite deliver. The chicken was dry and lacked flavor, which was disappointing given how strong the starters were. Overall, 4 stars for ambiance, service and bread, closer to 3 stars for the mains. Worth including in your rotation, but not a spot I'd go out of my way for.

The main knock against them came at the end of the meal when I asked for an order of falafel to take home. I checked in on the order about 10-15 minutes later and the guy said he would check on it. Another 10-15 minutes later I asked again (people are getting antsy to leave now), I was told that the order never got put in. Under normal circumstances I would have just cut bait at that point but I didn't think I would survive the wrath of my wife who only had been left at home with a grumpy breastfeeding newborn on the one condition that I bring her falafel. So now finally about 30-40 minutes after people had taken their last bite of food, my falafel arrived, for which I was charged full price plus 20% mandatory gratuity because I arrived with a group, regardless of the fact this was a takeout order.

I've been here several times, and while the food keeps me coming back, the wait times can be…read morefrustrating. Even when the restaurant isn't busy, I've had to wait around 40 minutes for my order on multiple occasions. Because of that, I'll probably stick to pickup orders going forward. That being said, the food is very good. I haven't tried everything on the menu yet, but the sandwiches are absolutely delicious and have been my favorite items so far. The staff is friendly and gets the job done efficiently. They may not always be the most cheerful, but they've always been professional and helpful whenever I've visited. One thing to keep in mind is that the dining area is quite small. It's fine for a quick meal, but it may not be the best option if you're planning to come with a large group since most of the seating is limited to small tables. A big plus is that they're open late, which is great when you're looking for a good meal after most other places have already closed. Overall, great food and convenient hours. If the wait times improve, this could easily become one of my regular spots.

The service of this place is amazing - the staff is very attentive to take care of their customers…read more The serving size of this place is great as well. I would say that the food was decent as the lamb was tender but not much flavor coming from the overall dish.

This place definitely feels authentic and the gentlemen behind the counter (perhaps the owner?) was friendly and welcoming. The coffees and chicken schwarma crepe were fantastic and exceeded my expectations. The Nutella crepe was fine - pretty standard nutella with banana and strawberries. The only thing to keep in mind here is that the service is a bit slow so drop by when you have some time to wait for your food or maybe call ahead if they take phone orders. Personally, I don't really consider this a deal breaker or reason for a lower rating, but it is mentionable in such a fast paced area.

I had the beef souvlaki plate and the beef was perfectly cooked. The tzatziki sauce was amazing. The side of fries we also ordered were crispy and loaded with garlic. Turkish coffee was so strong. The food took a little while to come out. Maybe 30-45 minutes, but we had a big group of 15+ and the restaurant appears to be family owned with a small amount of staff. If it was just a small group, the food probably would have came out faster. The woman there was so nice and friendly and was very accommodating with our requests! Highly recommend stopping by if you are a fan of Mediterranean food.
