From Bay Ridge to Dumbo: Tanoreen brings Middle Eastern flavors to Time Out Market

Beloved Bay Ridge eatery Tanoreen is coming to Time Out Market this month.

After nearly three decades of serving South Brooklyn, Rawia and Jumana Bishara, the mother-daughter duo behind the restaurant, will bring their distinct Palestinian flavors and Middle Eastern influences to the Dumbo food hall.

Shortly after opening in the late 90s, Tanoreen became a Brooklyn staple thanks to Chef Rawia’s unique twist on traditional Middle Eastern dishes.

“We are excited to join the market to present our ‘Middle Eastern Food with Love,’ inspired by my mom and then influenced by my time traveling abroad and living in New York,” said Rawia, who grew up in Nazareth, Israel, and opened Tanoreen in 1998 to share her family’s cooking with the world. “It’s an exciting step for us to expand beyond Bay Ridge for the first time.”

Tanoreen has earned recognition from numerous influential food critics and media outlets, including The New York Times, New York Magazine, and The Village Voice.

Since opening in 2019, Time Out Market New York has become a hub for food lovers, showcasing the city’s top culinary talents and offering a unique cultural experience.

Tanoreen will officially open at Time Out Market New York, 55 Water St., on Thursday, Nov. 21.
