    Bone found in shawarma pita
    Andrew E.

    Dang what a bummer. I haven't been to taim since going to the Waverly location more than a decade ago but it still ranks as one of my favorite meals in NYC, so when we moved to Brooklyn I was excited to there was a location near me in Park Slope. Sadly it's a pale imitation of what it was. The falafels aren't freshly fried and now taste nearly indistinguishable from each other. The once spicy, herbaceous s'rug lacks its previous spark. It's not terrible, it's just fine--another bland Mediterranean fast food place. I'd probably give it 3 stars if I hadn't almost choked on a very sharp bone in my shawarma pita, but even if I hadn't injured myself eating here, there's simply no reason to go back, given the other options in the area.

    Been coming here every few months for a few years, sometimes more, but everytime it's different. When good the food can be great but after the relaunch it's a bit of roulette. For example today my "plate" was very light on greens and way to heavy on sauce but most disappointingly was served in the dreaded black plastic of low end nyc takeout. I didn't think I'd care much but really put a damper on trying to eat a healthy meal out of hot black plastic instead of the usual pressed paper plates. Not even sure how that happened, is it just this one Brooklyn spot that freelanced and bought random containers? Or is the whole chain changing to more plastic, either way it's the wrong direction. I will say the staff is always great and working hard and I always tip. It's hard work, just tough looking forward to a meal and never quite knowing if it's gonna be good or disappointing.

    So I went to taim for the first time today. (Full Disclosure: It is one of Delta's Skymiles Dining partners and I went solely for the miles.) I was going to the Savage! Comedy show at Logan's Run and was presented with this as a good pre show spot. You can find it on Park Slope's busy 5th Ave corridor where everything has outdoor seating, even the post office - ya know? The place was busy with delivery people and a handful of customers waiting for orders. Touchscreens are available at the counter for guests which is super convenient for everyone because - customization. The space is cozy with bench seating opposite the order counter, cookout-style tables in the middle and high chair seating against the window and wall. Cafe-style seating is also available outdoors. I waited 20 minutes for a green-harissa falafel bowl with a base of couscous and super greens, crunchy shallots, and other additions. What I got was the falafel, other additions, and WHITE RICE. No couscous, super greens or shallots. I'm not bothered at all by the wait. I literally went at clang-clang dinner time in a busy area. But it was like - ugh!!! - ya know? I told them right away and also told them I was going to go ahead and continue eating cuz I was running late but just in case someone else got MY order. While waiting, I sipped on a free Ginger-Mint Lemonade, courtesy of my Yelp Check-in. Any Yelp user can do this BTW. You don't have to be an Elite. Back to my bowl, it was delicious! The falafels were tasty - more herbal than spicy; slightly larger than pinballs, not too dense, and had a good KA-runch! The hummus was smooth and creamy and the flavor was well-balanced. I also added spicy chickpeas, red pepper baba ganoush, cucumber, and harissa sauce. All the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The lemonade wasn't too sweet. It actually wasn't much of anything. I could barely taste any mint and if it weren't for ginger in the name I wouldn't have known it was there. This appears to be a local favorite, so maybe they were having an off night? They did appear to be overwhelmed. Taking points off because of the missing ingredients and the bland lemonade. I'm not entirely turned off, but it'll be a while before I consider this place again.

    This is a mini review for the take out. Was passing by and ordered a chicken shawarma platter. Good flavor and a nice size portion. They do have seats inside and outside.

    Chicken Shawarma bowl. So good!
    Tory L.

    Im gonna be honest,you put a bunch of stuff in a bowl and im down! Poke Bowls are life. So I see the bowls that Taim makes on Yelp and Im like I gotta get me mitts on one of those bad boys! And so on a bright,brisk autumn day in NY I did just that. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl and I was blown away! So good. I had it with the aforementioned Chicken,rice,Hummus,olives,Harissa,slivered almonds,I dont know there was other stuff in it too but I was shoveling it in so fast I lost track! Loved the contrazst of hot and cold foods,spicy and salty. Just a beautiful mix of tastes and textures. I am going to be ordering again soon especially since I forgfot to order a piece of Baklava for dessert.

    I was craving chicken shawarma. I've been craving it since I quit managing this shawarma place, that in my opinion had some delicious shawarma. First time I had them for delivery. But once I learned delivery is like $10 dollar more than pick up. I stop being lazy. It's a small place on 7th ave. If you're not paying attention you'll miss it. They have a few seats for dine in. But it's more of a take out feel. The customer service is excellent. I'm always greeted as soon as I walk in. You place your own order through the kiosk at the counter. They are pretty quick about getting your food out. The food is delicious. I always get the bowl, half hummus, half romaine, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, tahini, whipped garlic sauce and harissa. It comes with a pita. They give a ton of free toppings and premium ones for an additional fee. Great place for vegan/vegetarian. As they have falafel, eggplant, Brussels sprout shawarma and impossible kebab as main proteins. They even have a harissa falafel which my boyfriend loves. I have a few gripes. First one is the chicken isn't cooked on a spit like traditional shawarma. It's missing those crispy bits and added layer of flavor you get from cooking on a spit. Second the harissa isn't hot enough. The falafel are smaller than I'm used to. The whipped garlic sauce isn't garlicky enough. The tomatoes are too big. The cut cherry tomatoes in half. They would benefit better from dicing a tomato they way they do the cucumber. They don't properly drain the liquid that accumulates from the cucumber and tomato. Occasionally I'm left with a mini pool at the bottom. Also they don't give enough romaine. All in all it's a solid spot. That's consistent and they offer rewards through their app. So far I've had an entree for $50% off and buy one get one free entree and I've only had the app for about 2 weeks.

    I'm in corner feeling very satisfied about my meal.

    I'm here right now. My falafel, fries and ginger lemonade was absolutely DELICIOUS. Angel could not of been NICER .. This place is awesome!! Love casual little eateries w delicious food.

    Cauliflower Shawarma Bowl
    Rob W.

    Taim is a great and welcome addition to the Park Slope area. I had been anxiously awaiting its opening, and have definitely worked it into my regular routine--if I go more than a few weeks without, I'll definitely crave it. I love the customizability of the sandwiches or bowls--my go-tos are either the falafel or Cauliflower shawarma bowls. The mix of green and harissa falafel is perfect for me--.just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming (as I've experienced with all harissa falafel at other locations). What really makes the bowls work so well for me is the inspired topping selection--bowl base of creamy hummus, turmeric pearl couscous, toasted cumin rice or romaine lettuce. Addition topping options include Pickles, olives, zaatar croutons, seasoned chickpeas, toasted almonds...it provides for a tart, spicy, complex and filling meal--it's a good-sized bowl, often good for more than one meal, depending upon how hungry I am... and how many of their quality sides I wind up buying. Speaking of.... Despite the praise I had heard, I was skeptical of their fries, but they are surprisingly good as well, with either saffron aioli or harissa ketchup.  The labne was a tasty side as well. About my only disappointment here was the lentil harissa soup, kind of small and also surprisingly bland. But there are plenty of excellent options. Can get crowded, but service is fast as possible, friendly and efficient--great value for a to-go Slope meal!

    Essentially empty. Mixed it hoping to find chicken, to no avail.

    Constantly a problem. Bad service. Worse food. I don't know how this place is still open.

    Keyla N.

    Ordered a bowl with the cumin rice, Moroccan carrots, picked onions, and roasted chicken, and WOW. The bowl itself is beautiful, colorful, and looks absolutely fresh. And it tastes just the same. Next time, I will definitely try the hummus, and will probably get this exact same order because it was just soooo good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice? SO FLUFFY. Great meal when you're on the go, but also perfect for a well balanced meal too.

    TAIM'S FAMOUS FRIES but entirely undercooked with hard potato interiors.
    Adam W.

    Based on other reviews, I must have had a one off bad order. The salad with roast chicken was fine, but the sides I got were a disaster. Their "famous" fries came completely undercooked. Pale exterior like they were dipped in the frier, with hard, raw potato on the inside. Maybe that's how they are supposed to be? Can't imagine anyone enjoying these. The harissa ketchup was so thick you're unable to dip any cooked or uncooked fry into. The cauliflower was over cooked, mushy, and absolutely smothered in their shawarma sauce blend. So much sauce that you cannot taste anything else afterwards.

I went back for a weekday lunch recently and the food and atmosphere both hold up fabulously, so it makes sense why they've remained a brunch mainstay at both their East Village and Williamsburg locations. I enjoy that they serve their hot moroccan tea in a glass as is traditional, so you can see all the fresh mint leaves in your cup. I had tea like this multiple times a day during my trip to Morocco a few years back so sipping on this here took me back in time. I ordered a short stack of their blueberry pancakes which were very fluffy and delicious. They're not the kind of pancake with crispy edges, which are my preferred kind of pancake but I still found them satisfying. The moroccan eggs, which are two poached eggs in spicy stewed tomatoes and served with zahar pita is a delight. The pita is very fluffy and the zahatar adds such a nice fragrant spice to the bread. They used to serve this with potatoes but now those come at an additional charge but are well worth getting. The Williamsburg location also has pretty good wifi and they let me work on my laptop through my brief stay there. Kitchen was speedy too.

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.

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 failed to make note on our reservation that we would be enjoying dinner here for my birthday, so…read morewhen we arrived, we were shown a less than stellar table without that amazing view. 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. We left way too much behind since we were heading out after and not home. Lesson learned: laser wolf is a great celebration/date night venue for all the right reasons. But go with a larger party, not just two.

Founding chef is a James Beard awardee. Wonderful literary references aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The assortment of unlimited salatim, Hebrew for salad, was enjoyable and easily filed me without the guilt of overeating. And the view of the Manhattan skyline from the restaurant is just splendid. And one caveat, this Israeli meal is my small reminder that we should never judge or be judged by the actions of governments or political leaders. Humanity is always bigger than politics. Hatred becomes dangerous when we stop seeing people as individuals and start judging entire groups. History has shown us where that can lead. This is a reminder to myself and to anyone seeking peace and love (Channeling George Harrison and John Lennon, still have a bit of beatlemania from my Liverpool trip ). Let's explore each other's culture to have a better understanding of the wonderful people behind each dish, poem, dance, painting, song, customs, etc... #curious_eater #peaceandlove

For appetizers I had fried halloumi cheese, and they were the most amazing thing ever we also tried their mixed grill. Meet was flavorful and tender, kebab with creamy garlic and tahini sauce was so delicious. Also their portions are big!! Restaurant itself has a great vibe with plants, tree, zaatar and olive oil on the table and the server was very polite. Will surely visit again!

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.
