The outside of the falafel is crispy from start to finish, and it is served nice and hot. The cold, sweet hibiscus tea reminds me of sorrel, the Caribbean drink that is part of Christmas tradition, only that the hibiscus tea had less sugar and spice. Hibiscus tea is a Palestinian staple, said the young lady behind the counter who took my order. She also said that the restaurant makes Palestinian street food, and she encouraged me to come back and try other menu selections. This is a family-owned business that just opened up another location in Deer Park. If you like eating high quality Mediterranean comfort food, I highly recommend you try Taheni.

We ordered a mixed appetizer plate and the items were just jumbled together. Everything tasted the same and no one knew what they were eating. The Greek salad was tiny with a too oily dressing. Despite being listed on the menu, there was no moussaka available. My veal souvlaki platter came with a single skewer containing only five or six small, dried out pieces of meat. The sides didn't help much - just some average tasting rice and a few slices of tomato and onion. Our server was perfect pleasant but overall the food quality felt below a diner standard while the prices were noticeably higher. For me there's no return visit.

What she needs to understand is that I'm the consumer and I help make their paychecks. The resting shit faces need to stop. We are the consumers you technically work for us. Am I right here?

I'm torn on Taïm. My feelings fall somewhere in the 3.5 realm and (from what you can see of this…read morereview) I chose to round up, though my reasoning might be a little skewed. Let me explain. I met my buddy here for dinner back in late February before heading to the nearby movie theater. I hadn't known Taïm was so close by (or to be honest, what it even was!) until my Yelp search led me to this location. A little Mediterranean-esque meal sounded good and so we strolled in around 7:45 to a semi-spacious spot with no one else in it. Perhaps it was a bit chilly inside, a tad later for some, or maybe the menu isn't/wasn't as enticing to everyone (I watched a family of 4 walk in and out after reading it over), but whatever the reason, it worked for us. Reading things over on that menu, taim feels a lot like Wild Fig or Hummus Mediterranean, two spots with a similar setup that I find to be superb. In the same bowl (or plate as they call it) manner, you can pick your rice/salad base, protein/veggie, toppings, and then sauce. There was plenty to choose from though I opted for the rice over chicken shawarma with toppings of pickled onion, feta, Kalamata olives, peppers, and a cucumber/tomato mix. I got harissa sauce on the side and it came with pita bread too. My buddy got a similar mixture of things. The price for my plate came to a little over $15 which seemed reasonable enough. Once settled at a seat, I dug into the plate with the zing of the chicken shawarma taking hold along with plenty of spicy/tangy/creamy/fresh flavors coming through as well. The pita was subpar if we're being honest here, but I used it with some of that harissa which helped. Though mostly tasty, the plate did seem a little small and by the time I finished, I probably could have had something else to feel a little more full. So why the borderline review? Honestly, the experience was fine, but as you can kind of tell, nothing about taim really jumped out to me. Interior was basic (with honestly too many stools and not enough seats), price was decent, food was pretty good, and service was ok (the staff seemed a little out of it) so me returning here feels like, at first, a real tossup...unless you throw in that proximity piece. Though it shouldn't really count, the closeness to the movie theater (which I will occasionally visit when meeting up with friends) will potentially get me to come back to a place like this again if I'm looking for a lighter type of meal. So with that in mind, taim may hold a purpose for some when in this area and wanting this type of cuisine. Overall, I think Taïm is nothing necessarily special, but it can serve a purpose with its unique type of food in a location that does not seem to offer up too much else like it. Any competition might eliminate the desire to go here and therein lies the dilemma, but for now, I'll push things north and give taim those four stars if for no other reason than where it is and what's around it. Perhaps more visits (because of cinema closeness) will help to solidify those four celestials, but only time will tell.

It is conveniently positioned in a new set back strip mall complex along the popular north-south thoroughfare. AMBIANCE: The interior is large, with high ceiling and many windows. The design is simple and cheerful, with blond wood surfaces and sunny yellow graphics. Not by any means a cozy space, but inviting nonetheless. FOOD and BEVERAGE: The expanding chain offers custom Mediterranean plates and pitas filled with flavorful and vibrant components. I've enjoyed a plate with vibrant green falafel and another one with cauliflower shawarma -- both surrounded by my choice of sides and sauces (see attached photos for component details). A beverage of chilled house-made ginger mint lemonade was the perfect accompaniment. Be sure to add the Baklava! SERVICE: Service is efficient. TIP: A small patio courtyard next to the restaurant allows outside dining during pleasant weather. There are quite a few locations around NYC (12) and one in DC, so good to keep in mind when traveling and looking for a reasonably priced, flavorful, and nutritious quick meal.
