I had such a wonderful experience at Al Tanoor Iraqi Restaurant. The food quality was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and truly authentic Iraqi cuisine that reminded me of a home-cooked meal. The restaurant was spotless, with great attention to cleanliness and presentation. The portion sizes were generous for the price, offering excellent value without compromising on taste or quality. The décor created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, with touches that reflect Iraqi culture and tradition beautifully. It’s rare to find a place that delivers authentic flavor, excellent service, and a cozy ambiance all in one – but Al Tanoor absolutely does. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a real taste of Iraq!

I visited Al Tanoor Iraqi Restaurant in Roxburgh, and the place was truly clean and well-organized. The staff were friendly and very helpful. We ordered Iraqi kebab, which was excellent, and the chicken tikka was tender and delicious. The Iraqi ouzi was also great. The hummus was average and could use some improvement, but overall it was a wonderful dining experience with tasty food and great service.

One of the best Iraqi cuisines . Delicious and fantastic food . I was overfill but I couldn't stop eating. Nice place and friendly staff

The food is full of flavour and they bake their own bread. So fresh and fluffy.

Staff was great especially young girls at cash counter were very energetic. I am not qualified to write on Iraqi food but will make an attempt. Overall, meat quality was good but salad it came with was bit raw with no flavour as such and with no dipping, sauce, hummus etc made it overall a dry experience. May be that's how it's served, perhaps, if they can advise customer to buy sauce since it doesn't come with one, or increase price and add one.. Its a custom to have some dips along in most foods/cuisines served in Australia.. Hoping they did not forgot to add in my order.. Will come back for more food perhaps

Nice little Iraqi eatery found near the back of the shopping centre on the outside next to Aldi. The service was prompt and although the food didn't come out quickly, it seemed freshly made and was tasty. The place was nicely decorated and there was plenty of seating.
