    pretty delicious fast casual spot for mediterranean food. the service was very fast and friendly, and it was clean inside for dining in. I got their beef/lamb platter and was super stuffed after, so can recommend their portion sizes. the beef/lamb did feel a bit heavy so I would try the chicken plate next time!

    Create your own platter! Falafel add chicken with hummus, pickles, cucumbers, and olives.

    Whenever I am in town, I hit them up. Totally unassuming and I think a chain. Always fresh ingredients and plenty of toppings and options to choose from. This visit i ordered ahead and when I arrived, someone else already grabbed my meal. The staff was quick to rectify the situation amazingly so and I was happy again as I have been before. So delicious and fresh! I keep saying it for a reason. And you want to make sure you get extra bread. It's the simple things for me. Ha! Delish!!

    Food was good here! But the ordering was a bit complicated. I ended up just going through the app to select the items I want because theres a limit for the number of toppings you can get. Flavors were all good and bowl was quite filling! This location has seating and which was clean and nice.

    The food and customer service is amazing at the 11 Hoyt St location in Bk! Theyre fast at preparing the food too. Trust me, I've been going here for 2 years now and their bowls and Pita sandwiches are the Bomb. My favorite is the OG Falafel Pita sandwich. I also love their fries! They know my face because I order fries almost all the time Definitely come visit this location!​

    Food : 8/10 I usually get a bowl which consists of green and harissa falafel which is always tasty, turmeric jasmine rice and super greens with toppings(cucumber , tomatoes, almonds, shallots and hummus Service : cashier & supervisor were very thorough. Staff for the most part is friendly and efficient. Def give this spot a try if you enjoy Mediterranean food like I do. Ambiance : always clean, has a bathroom which is only for customers which I enjoy. You can dine in and or take your food to go which I like. You can't sit and just have that alone time with yourself after a long day. They do play music which is a factor if you want peace and quiet you'd best take it to go. Harissa Falafel

    My love for Taim has spanned a decade,* so when I found out they were opening up steps from my building, I rejoiced. Then I forgot about it for two months, until I received a coupon in the mail. And what a coupon it was! It got me to walk in the doors of this beautiful new eatery tucked into the new 11 Hoyt development (entrance on Livingston). It's bright, with high ceilings, plenty of seating, and all the high-tech ordering touchscreens you could ask for. (They also take online orders, and I believe have an app as well.) They also have a lovely staff who will also just take your order the old-fashioned way, if you like talking to people. All the other things aside, this new Taim location serves up the same high quality eats I've always loved. I rocked a chicken shawarma bowl, with as many toppings as they'd give me. As expected, their food is all packed with bright, fresh, flavorful ingredients, and it's a lunch I'm going to revisit entirely too often. Happy to have you in the hood, Taim. _____________ *Unfortunately, it is thus far unrequited. They never take me up on my offers of midnight assignations, or exotic holidays together.

    I stopped by on a weekend afternoon for a quick bite. I got a chicken Schwarma bowl with the main positives being fresh ingredients, lots of choices and colorful. On the negative side, the chicken was dry. Space was clean. Ordering can be on on app, kiosk or old school with the cashier. This is not a typical dump and go meal place (like chipotle) as all the food is prepared behind the cashier, out of of sight. Seating was aplenty and space was clean. Pricing seemed fair and portions were larger than expected. Bowl allows for 2 bases, 1 protein, 8 toppings and a sauce. Located on Livingston st as part of the 11 Hoyt living residences

    I am a longtime CAVA fan, but when it comes to falafel, I have to admit Taim takes the cake. Their red and green falafels are both fantastic options, and so hot and crispy out the fryer. I stopped by on a Thursday evening before my solidcore class (conveniently located next door) for some dinner. Like their other locations, there are two self-order kiosks where you can choose a pita or bowl. There are several tables and the space is quite big and clean so you can choose to sit down and eat or take it home. My food arrived fairly quickly and was brought to me by a staff member. Overall, a solid spot for some Mediterranean in the area!

    This place is my actual favorite food in all of New York. Absolutely delicious, and the most helpful and friendly staff in the world. Vinny is the GOAT and will take the best care of you if he's there (if you see him tell him Atlanta girl sent you). An absolute MUST VISIT if you're ever in New York. Literally cannot say enough good things. Very chill vibe and extremely clean.

I highly recommend getting an assortment of dips and small plates - 2-3 dishes per person was just right for us. I can't pick a favorite item of the evening: The Israeli Salad Hummus was some of the best/most flavorful hummus I've had, the Whipped Ricotta was perfect and so fluffy, and the Matbucha & Labne are also great additions to the table. They make a really good Falafel here, and the Crispy Cauliflower were perfectly crispy and well-sauced. The Chocolate Babka dessert is a great way to end your meal, and they do make a solid espresso martini for those wondering. The only thing I was not a fan of is their drink menu - all of the cocktails are spicy or smoky. Although you can sub out different alcohols, it would be nice to have a few other options.

It was good but a little pricier for what it was.

The best food here is definitely going to be the local specialty and I was correct! We came as a group of 6- made this reservation a month in advance. They were super patient with us and took our orders pretty quick. The wine selection is magnificent I had such a great orange wine and tried their refreshing rose secco and they paired really well with the seafood. We ordered the tilefish ceviche, the famous sourdough, maitake and yellow oyster mushrooms and grilled corn to start. They each came on their own pace so it was 1 by 1. We got to focus on each dish and share it. It felt like tapas style! Amongst these starters I definitely really loved the ceviche athough my friends felt like it was lackluster. The oyster mushrooms and corn was interesting but not as amazing as the sourdough. We ordered two dishes for this and I felt like it wasn't enough. The ricotta is just so creamy and definitely left me wanting more. For secondary we ordered mackerel toast and the shrimp! These were definitely one of the most memorable and the mackerel was raw which was so fun and interesting play on texture with the cream cheese toast. Definitely something I would like to eat often for breakfast as it's similar to lox but not smokey and just super fresh and neutral. The shrimp was absolute star of the show. I don't have much notes on that other than it was spectacular. The way they grilled it or cooked it was just love! For the mains we shared the half chicken and the tilefish local specialty dish! I think the chicken you can skip but I definitely think the fish was one of the best fish I've eaten recently! I love the tomatoes and way they flavored it. For dessert I know my friend said the chocolate cake was the best but I digress I actually think there's better out there. Instead we also ordered their recommended lemon possett and this one was actually super worth it. I'd recommend this for sure! It's so tart but not too tart and light and airy it's definitely more my vibe. Our total was pretty crazy for a six person group I ended up paying around $80 pp for these dishes. I had a fun time having dinner with friends but we were also rushed out after we finished and it was time to give other people their spots. It definitely feels like you're only going there to eat and not to stay for a long dinner and chat.

Also coated in an anchovy sauce. The turnips/peas? Believe it or not, also in an anchovy sauce. Does Theodora owe money to Big Anchovy, or is there some secret anchovy agenda? Ironically, basically the only thing on the menu without a hidden seafood agenda were the oyster mushrooms. The service was quite attentive at least, well above average even for the price point. However, the drinks were hilariously small (I thought a cocktail at $20 was a decent deal, and then realized it was maybe 4oz of liquid in a lowball glass filled mostly with ice.

Service was incredibly warm, and our waiter gave helpful recs when navigating the wine menu, which featured mostly wines from Lebanon. For 2, we got: - baba ghannouj - muhammara - dips come with fresh, fluffy, warm pita - batata hara (crispy, spicy fried potatoes with garlic) - heirloom tomato (with garlic toum and sunflower seeds) - octopus - lamb chops Everything was delicious and extremely flavorful! The heirloom tomatoes were a standout dish: fresh, packed tons of flavor, and I loved how everything went together. The waiter mentioned they're seasonal and will be swapped out for something for the fall season soon. Dips and potatoes were excellent. Octopus was the one weaker spot. The skewer was a bit small and the preparation left the meat a little lackluster and chewy (I'm picky with my octopus!) The lamb chops were very tender with tons of flavor - char, mint, meat. A bit heavy but might just be because I don't eat a ton of red meat. I was VERY full by the end of the meal! I think we could have done 1-2 fewer dishes and still been very satisfied, but I'm glad I got to try so many things. The mains took a while to come out, though I enjoyed the longer, non-rushed, 'let's chat over delicious bites for hours' feeling of the meal overall. Great dining experience. The bill came to about ~$100 per person for the above + a drink (one wine, one mocktail) each. Between the fantastic ambiance, service, and high quality flavors, I found it to be worth the price and great for a treat yourself outing, date, or special occasion.

I asked if there was any way to fix this, and right away, the hostess brought us to another table with a much better view of that magnificent manhattan skyline and river. Then the food. Omg the food. We each ordered our main, after which they bring out an enormous tray of all these lovely nibble salads, pickles, dips, and pita. I don't eat wheat, and haven't my entire life, so I usually don't say anything about it if it seems to me the place doesn't cater to that sort of restriction. The server noticed however, and offered sliced cucumbers for the dips. Such a lovely detail, brava. Did I mention how deeeeeeeelicious everything was? Hubby had the steak shishlika which was perfectly tender and charred at once. I had the chicken shishlika which was good, but not the wow of the steak. Each and every salad, dip, pickle etc was perfectly spiced, cooked, presented. The nuances were just right. Nothing too precious or sideways. Just honest, well built yummy food. And the fries. You MUST get the fries. We ordered the tahini ranch along with the tahini catsup. In my opinion, that wasn't necessary. But if you're a ranch lover, go for it. Then the dessert! Soft serve with a cherry reduction and some kind of flourless chocolate brownie... I don't need to say more. The service was excellent. The food delicious. The view was perfect, though no one celebrated the sun going down like I was told they do. We will go back, with four or more so we can finish all the food.

Hatred becomes dangerous when we stop seeing people as individuals and start judging entire groups. History has shown us where that can lead.

Lesson learned: if you're going with a group, make sure you have your final number when making the reservation because adding someone later may not be possible. We started with the Mezzi Filistini, a mixed platter of babaganoush, muhammara, tabbouleh, salata, tahini and labneh. This was very good, and we tackled it with zest, devouring it with the accompanying pita bread. We also ordered the falafel, chicken shawarma platter and beef kebab platter. The chicken shawarma was decent, but I would have loved more chicken and bigger pieces. There was considerably more rice than chicken, which made the platter feel a little unbalanced. The beef kebab was better, with a good portion of meat and rice, and the accompanying vegetables weren't too bad either. One disappointment for me was the lack of a proper hot sauce. Something with a little heat and flavor would have paired really well with both the shawarma and kebab and, for me, would have elevated the meal. Overall, the food was good and the ambiance was pleasant. Service was also good for the most part, although I was disappointed that we weren't asked if we were interested in dessert before wrapping up the meal. Al Badawi is probably a place I would try again, but not one I'm in a rush to return to anytime soon.
