The musakhan at Tanoreen is a slice of heaven! It’s shredded chicken, caramelized onions, sumac, spices, roasted nuts and olive oil piled on top of a warm, soft flatbread. The chicken is tender and extremely well seasoned, the caramelized onions add a touch of sweetness, and the almonds play an important role in creating a crunchy texture that contrasts the fluffy flatbread. I added a little labaneh (Middle Eastern yogurt spread topped with mint and olive oil) to the mix for a bit of refreshment, and it made the dish complete! The menu at Tanoreen is vast, and all of it is delicious, but this musakhan is just unforgettable and totally worth the trek out to Bay Ridge.
