tam mediterranean kitchen in other cities:
Great falafel, had the Harissa falafel and was expecting a bit more spice but overall it was really good and filling, recommended.
I realize this is one of many taïm restaurants in NY, but WOW the Falafel sandwich was incredible! I also got a side of hummus and honestly it was one of the best I have ever had.
Delicious falafel. Really good vegan options and fair pricing.
The falafel was delicious, the pita was dry and old.And on top of it, they had a advertising shoot while the business was open for businesses, and the models did not wear a mask. This shoot should have been done after working hours or just close the place on that day.
I visited this store sometime last week before returning to Germany, I have never been before & the young lady with dreads behind counter helped me along. I really appreciate it because my English is not the best when speaking & she explained everything for me and packaged my stuff so I could eat later on plane. Would come back
Takes forever. I ordered online and still had to stand in line for 10 minutes to pick up my food. When I asked the cashier why she didnt put the bags in the designated pickup area she just shrugged and said I cant reach the shelf. You might want to hire more people or work on your operations.
“If there is a God, then why do bad things happen to good people?”I struggle to make sense of days without Taim. Am I a bad person? Or is this world just a cold place?But then a ray of sunshine breaks through the dreary clouds and delivers warmth as it lands upon my soul. I get to eat Taim.And then it all makes sense: those days without Taim, though seeming mean and unfair, a cruel circumstance dished out by an unloving God or a soulless universe, served a much greater purpose, indeed. For without a falafel-less day, how does one appreciate the profound blessing in a day marked by Taims Mediterranean excellence? Only in the absence of one’s lover does one discover the joy of longing - and the joy of reuniting.Thank you, Taim, for helping me in my quest for spiritual insight and supreme falafel bliss.
Really good falafel but the customer service is horrible lolThey are always getting stuff wrong and dont answer the phone (nor acknowledge you when you walk in)I love this place but the current staff is losing meUpdate: it gets worse every single time I go. The number of side falafel has been incorrect, the tahini isnt in the bag, the customer service is absolutely nonexistent. I think they need to refresh the staff or something. Im gonna have to find a new place.
This is my go-to spot for lunch and is the reason that I dont mind going to the office! Once you have the hummus here, you wont want to order it anywhere else 🤣 same goes for the couscous and falafel 🤣
Great food, tasty bowls and lovely staff! Will come back & recommend - thank you!
The food is horrible!BlandPita is always wet!💦💦💦💦Falafel is bland even the one with a special sauce or blend!🚫😶⚠️
I love Taim and their fries, but and they fumbled a bit on my last order.Update: Taim saw this review and reached out to me. We corresponded for a bit, and it turns out they are very nice people who really care about their food. It was refreshing to see how they went above and beyond to correct that small mistake.
Food was fine for lunch, but took a lot longer than expected. Only three people were there when I arrived but it still took 15-20 minutes for the food to come out. Probably better to order for pick up rather than in store.
Food is ok, but rice was not fully cooked. Some of the rice was still hard and crunchy.
Tasty falafel and hummus. Big fan of the cauliflower shawarma. Also like that the israeli salad does not have onions.
They only give you two felafels in your pita. Not worth the money. Expect to wait 15 minutes for your food. It looks like they have a lot of people working in the kitchen but they pretty much are standing around and talking to each other.
It was my first time coming here this place was absolutely amazing i loved it i was so pleased amazing customer service everything was perfect. Definately will be coming back here again.
Helped me with card issue and gave me my order even though it didnt go through.
Ordered a pick in my phone via Google (Ritual). When I came to the place, store was closed and no one is picking up the phone either.Store should make sure that their timings reflected correctly on google!!Update: I had to download Ritual app and create an account, but was thankfully able to get the refund at least.
The food is yummy. I have been in NYC for 3 weeks and am already a regular here. I just wish there wasnt such a long waiting time to get the food... Otherwise, almost perfect!
The falafel was tasty! I enjoyed the shawarma as well. They have a lot of good options to eat on their menu.
Best hummus I’ve ever had
Great food outstanding, hospitality good music
I love the idea of this place but the execution is poor. Hopefully theyll get it together, but on to the details. 1. Its overpriced for what it is, which is chick peas and vegetables. My plate with one add on and a lemonade was over $20. Not even Mamouns, which blows it away, is more expensive.2 . Except for the falafel, the food was bland. The tabbouleh, tomatos and cucumbers werent that fresh or tasty. Everything was under-seasoned and there was a bitter taste to it. I think the parsley was a too strong variety, or just past its prime.3. Weak service. It inexplicably took a long time to order despite there being 2 employees standing right in front of me and no line. The food too a long time to come despite it being all pre-made vegetarian items. They left 2 things off my order - hot sauce which I paid extra for, and bread.On the bright side one of the employees was a nice guy who have me both versions of their falafel to try on the house, and the falafel is excellent. Still, theyre going to have to do better on every other front to get my dime again. And it will have to be more reasonably priced once I get out of downtown Manhattan...
Worth the trip!! Lots of vegan/vegetarian options that were all delicious! I got the sabich pita which was lovely and reasonably priced. I ordered pickup and my food was ready and warm when I showed up.
Good food but HORRIBLE service at this location. I would give more stars for the food which is quite good but the service is just SO BAD. Your staff should go train for a day at your west village location to learn what “working” is.The staff couldn’t care less about serving their customers. I ordered two platters, two drinks, fries with sauces - came to $40+. They come deliver my order with one platter and fries. I remind them of the second platter and 10 mins later I still don’t have second platter or drinks. There is one other person waiting for a meal. Get it together!!! That is the second time I’ve been here recently where they take FOREVER even when there are only a couple patrons.Also, $4 to get some ketchup is absurd. You should be embarrassed to charge people that much for the equivalent of two packets of ketchup.
I mean, its ok. The other times Ive been here the falafel was good along with the sides. I ventured out and got the Schwarma cauliflower this time and could not eat it because it was WAY TOO salty. I dont usually complain, but if it was not salty, it wouldve been perfect. Everything else was good though. Maybe less seasoning next time? Unfortunately the schwarma cauliflower wasnt edible. :( I do love everything else though.
Great food. Bigger space & more seating than their other locations. Tons of vegetarian & vegan items. Both gluten-free & regular options. Low prices. Super friendly/helpful staff. Easy walk from #4/5 at Fulton.
For weeks, I have been craving Taim and try out a new Falafel place! As someone who is middle eastern, it’s interesting to taste and experience it in the west and compare it’s quality to the east.Tonight, I ordered for a film party of 4, to an office a few doors down. The delivery showed up over an hour late, barely enough food for 2 people, and was super cold! Without any calls or prior notice for being late, and having poor food/customer service.وداعا!
Gave them a try today. Quality and tasty food (aside from the taboule which was sad) but for the cost of the green falafel platter there is a less expensive and faster option nearby that also allows you to select different sauces and add-ins at no extra cost.
This was simply delicious! A great find for corporate luncheon.
Has the falafel pita and a side of couscous. It was a great lunch. Felt great the rest of the day.
Absolutely love Tiam, my go to spot for lunch lately, discovered it through meal pal. Flavor profile is amazing.
Good fastfood place but a little too flashy and franchised. Most items are beyond the price I would pay but the appetizer are a good portion for half the price as the main. Otherwise friendly service and good seating. Understandably this place is doing goood in NY and located in trendier neighborhoods.
Really great falafel bowl. Very rich taste and quality. Keep it up!!!
They are close but not close enough to getting it right with the falafel and hummus. The falafels are small/more oil than flavor and you only get a small portion of hummus and tahini. Overpriced for the portion sizes. Not enough parsley in the Israeli salad.
Delicious falafel and fresh sides
Probably the best falafel and hummus platter Ive ever had. Ever.Also the sauces are AWESOME, especially the green one. 1 star off because its too expensive.
Great food.I wish I had ordered more...
Excellent service,Courteous staff. So far my favorite is the califlower shawarma. It is delicious and well seasoned. I also enjoyed the peppermint ginger lemonade. Refreshing👌🏾👌🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I came here after passing by in the morning noticing there was a restaurant that I didnt know about. After arriving I waited for my food for around 30 minutes. It seemed unusual that they were as busy as they were as they had two different employees come over to me to apologize about the timing. They even gave me multiple free coupons for a meal without me complaining.
Delicious, delicious food that just happens to be healthy! The portion size is also great, which makes it worth the price. Id definitely return again and again.
I was in the city for a week, and my friend recommended Taim on Maiden Lane. I have had falafel many times in my life but nothing compared to this! The Harrissa Falafel Pita is definitely the way to go! Next time I’m in the city I will be returning.
Got food poisoning here earlier this year. Then today two coworkers also got food poisoning, which means this has been a problem all year. I can only imagine how many people have gotten sick in that time. They are clearly not storing and handling their food properly. Do not go here! Hit up Nish Nush or Pita Press instead.
Best falafel place downtown.
Customer service is great - held the door twice while I navigated with a stroller. Food has always been excellent.
I didnt have a great experience during my first two delivery orders but the manager was very apologetic, called me and send me vouchers for my next visit. I decided to give the store another try and went to their Maiden Lane location. Good food and very tidy place.
Friendly staff and good food!
I came in to Taim Restaurant for lunch today and when I got back to my office, I realized that one of my orders was incorrect. I called the restaurant and spoke with the nicest Supervisor ever Mr. Aaron Arce and I really cant speak high enough of this gentleman. He apologized and offered to walk the correct order to my job, since my lunch hour had ended. He made up for the inconvenience in so many thoughtful ways with the courtesy and respect that is needed in the world and service industry. Customer service was 120%. My coworkers and I were so impressed we already love the food and for Aaron Arce service we will definitely come back again and again. Thank you so much Aaron Arce. Youre the best and you are much appreciated. He is a true leader.
Cute little spot on Maiden Lane. For being so empty there was a decent wait for the food to be packed up. Food is definitely made fresh though 👍The only downside is that they didnt have any babaganoush at the time, and I was really looking forward to that.
This is the worst Taim I’ve ever been too. Customer service is APPALLING. The employees were just socializing the entire time and spent way too much time making the food (at least in comparison to other Taim locations). I felt very awkward. Once I finally received the food, it tasted good. Would recommend this location if you’re desperate and don’t care about poor customer service.
Ordered a Falafal pita, it was absolutely delicious. All the ingredients were well blended, falafal and hummus tasted excellent
Food is good and good costumer service
Amazing staff & amazing food.
I had a simple order of fries and they charged for both sauces and gave only one 😑 like seriously? The fries themselves are good the workers are just absent minded
Fresh pita, fresh falafel, fresh everything. Great place for falafel. Kol hakavod!!
Ive eaten so much falafel and this is the best. Crispy, not too dense, but not falling apart.
Excellent Tasting Food.

Prefer Naya to this. Wait was a bit long. Food was good though. Try the cabbage shwarma

Very nice food, a bit on the pricey side of it.
Love their food. Good social distancing maintained.

Great Food
Slow
Bland, bland, and overpriced.
Delicious.
They give you a ton of food with your purchase, so you definitely get your moneys worth. One of the few places Ive seen with impossible kebab, so good for people seeking a meat substitute.
4.7🥝Falafel is so delicious!With the addition of red balls and green balls, many of the vegetables are very fresh. The crispy taste of red cabbage is especially liked. The hummus is well blended in. The taste is not too strong and the leader is overwhelmed.Hot sauce is very spicy to very fresh green pepper ~
Weak we got dry falafel and so did the pita. The salad was excellent and we changed to a more fresh dish. I didnt expect an Israeli dish, but thats not it.
Nice tasteGood foodThoda mehnga haiGood staff
Expensive. Reasonable Food Service Not the Fastest
Whoohooo

2022-04-01I don’t often take the time to write reviews but this place truly deserves it. Every time I go the staff is warm, efficient and just in a great mood. I noticed the manager is amazing too. Wish there were more places like it in NYC, that inspired and trust their people to do good as wells as let them have fun while doing It. Needless to say the food is GREAT too :)

2022-08-11I had this amazing bowl at tami on maiden land I highly recommend this bowl it’s call the eggplant blow
Review №5
2022-04-10This place was really good and pretty cheap for Lower Manhattan. The pita was pretty good and they were generous with the falafels. The only thing I did not like was the saffron aoli, which my girlfriend said tasted like paint. Just go with the ketchup.
Review №6
2021-03-28Everything is so delicious while healthy tasting. (Well maybe not the fries which were yum too). Weve tried the eggplant bowl, impossible kebabs bowl and platter, falafel platter, cauliflower side, carrot side and fries. The food is so good that weve had it three times since moving to this neighborhood a few weeks ago. Highly recommend.

2022-04-04I had ordered delivery and was surprised to receive it in 35 minutes in mid Manhattan. Chicken shawarma with extra meat came hot and a bit spicy as expected. Liked the falafels but were overcooked and harder.
Review №8
2021-01-26Really great flavors on everything. Wonderfully fluffy pita and delicious spiced fries with various dipping sauce. So far I have have the cauliflower shawarma pita and the eggplant bowl and they were delicious. This place will definitely be one of my go to lunch spot.

2018-10-22The place is pretty good and clean. It is Mediterranean or middle eastern style food and it was good. I enjoyed my meal. Now, the place does not take cash only debit cards or credit cards. It is pretty small but good for a vegan meal during lunchtime. I did not have to wait long for my meal. The price was ok. The meal in the picture below was $12.50 (tax not included). I will go back again if I forgot to bring my lunch to work again.
