Smoky tannour-baked breads and pulled meats draw big crowds, but recent menu changes and delivery/service inconsistency mean best results when dining in and sticking to core items.
My Tannour delivers distinctive Syrian street food with strong food quality when the signature smoky breads and pulled meats are executed well, but inconsistent execution—especially between dine-in and delivery—and food safety concerns around undercooked chicken prevent a higher grade. Service reliability wavers during peak hours, and recent menu changes have reduced perceived portion value, making this a worthwhile neighborhood spot for dine-in visits but a riskier choice for delivery.
The room feels warm and bustling when the tannour oven is roaring, with lines at the counter and a simple terrace outside. Reviewers talk about smoky bread and pulled meats, but also warn of rush-hour chaos. One diner said the aroma alone pulled them in, while another flagged lost orders and long waits during peak times. The cooking leans Syrian street food with a polished fast-casual twist: fire-baked flatbreads, house-smoked lamb, chicken, and beef, plus mezze staples like hummus, baba ganoush, and falafel. When it hits, flavors are tender, smoky, and generous; when it misses, seasoning skews sour or salty and plates feel lighter since the recent composition change. If you dine in and stick to the core breads or smoked plates, you are most likely to enjoy the signature smokiness. Families will find it workable: chicken wraps, fries, and halloumi are kid-friendly options, though tangy sauces and sumac can be punchy. There is no dedicated kids menu, but simple choices exist. Portions can vary, so order conservatively for picky eaters and add a plain bread if needed.
