Top Lebanese in Seattle

Tanoor takes its name from the traditional clay oven used across the Levant to bake bread and roast meat at high heat - the technique behind the char on its mixed grill platters of lamb and kofta. Near Seattle Center, the female-owned kitchen has built a following on spicy hummus and pita baked to order, with portions generous enough that the patio fills fast before and after shows at McCaw Hall. Arambeet and the cheese fatayir are what regulars order without opening the menu.
