While in the area, we chose to revisit this establishment—one I had dined at several years prior. Given the passage of time, I arrived with a neutral palate and no particular expectations. We entered around 3:30 PM, during a lull in service when the restaurant was entirely empty, offering a quiet and undistracted setting to assess the experience.

We opted for the “Feast for Two,” supplemented with the Quzi lamb over rice. The feast is accompanied by a generous portion of hummus and freshly baked Iraqi bread, which was delivered to the table piping hot and delightfully crisp around the edges. This bread was, without exaggeration, exceptional—aromatic, texturally perfect, and the ideal vehicle for the hummus.

Speaking of the hummus, it was a standout element of the meal. It boasted a velvety, smooth consistency with a refined balance of tahini, lemon, and garlic—a testament to both technique and ingredient quality.

Among the grilled items, the beef kabob was particularly well-executed: tender, juicy, and deeply seasoned, with a satisfying char from the grill. Unfortunately, the poultry offerings were less impressive. Both the chicken tikka and chicken kabob lacked the succulence and depth of flavor one would hope for. They exhibited a texture and taste that suggested they may have been previously frozen, detracting from the overall composition of the platter.

In contrast, the Quzi lamb was a return to form—fall-apart tender, richly seasoned, and served over a bed of fragrant rice that absorbed the meat’s juices beautifully. This dish, traditionally a cornerstone of Iraqi cuisine, was done justice here. The accompanying fasolia (white beans in tomato broth) was superb—comforting, well-seasoned, and executed with finesse.

One minor misstep: we received an additional bowl of bamya (okra stew), which we had not ordered, and were subsequently charged for it. While the error was small, it speaks to an oversight in service that could be easily remedied.

That said, the staff—particularly the women attending the front of house—were warm, gracious, and attentive, contributing to an overall welcoming atmosphere.

In summary, while a few inconsistencies were present, the highlights—namely the bread, hummus, beef kabob, and Quzi—demonstrated authentic craftsmanship and depth of flavor. With some refinement, particularly in the poultry offerings and billing attentiveness, this establishment has the potential to fully realize its culinary promise.

Al Tannour in Anaheim, CA is an authentic Iraqi spot tucked away in a quiet strip mall, but don’t let the unassuming location fool you — this place delivers big flavors. I came here for lunch and ordered the Feast for Two, which turned out to be a generous and flavorful spread. The freshly baked bread is a highlight on its own — soft, warm, and perfect for scooping up the tender, well-seasoned kebabs and skewers that were grilled to perfection. The meat was juicy and full of smoky flavor, clearly made with care. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, adding to the welcoming and relaxed vibe. The restaurant was clean, with well-maintained restrooms, and parking was easy and free, which is always a plus in Southern California. Overall, Al Tannour impressed on every level — food, service, and atmosphere. It’s the kind of place you discover once and instantly know you’ll be back.

"I'm extremely disappointed and frustrated with my and family recent experience at AlTanoor restaurant . The prices were exorbitant, the food was subpar, and the smell of chicken and fish.
To make matters worse, I visited during Ramadan, and it seemed like everyone who ate there got sadness including myself. The stomach issues were relentless, and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
Given the restaurant's poor food quality, bad smell, and questionable hygiene practices, I strongly advise against dining here, especially during Ramadan. Save your money, and more importantly, protect your health.

Clean cozy sit down restaurant with some nice decorations. Very friendly staff. I ordered a dish that I didn't know what it was but she explained it to me. I received a small Arabic salad first and then my meal, everything was really good even though it was new to me. I also ordered a large hummus which came with a fresh giant round bread called Iraqi bread which was kind of like pita bread, everything was really good. They have a good amount of options for different dishes to get. Can't wait to go back!
