I ordered from this place on the recommendation of a friend. This was an UBEREats order that arrived very timely. The menu seemed very good and traditional when I ordered. I ordered the beef and lamb lavash, and a side order of falafel with tahini. The falafel and tahini was burnt beyond recognition and dry, and the tahini was tasteless. The lava sandwich was packed well and looked appetizing and tasted OK but the meat itself was not moist and delicious. I would not order from this place again due to the disappointment in the quality of the food. I prefer not to have my falafel as hard as golf balls. read more

My favorite place to get healthy protein right after a good workout. Parking is plentiful Service is spectacular. They have plentiful of tables for dine in.* See pictures) My go-to is the chicken shawrama plate with 6 toppings of your choice for veggies. And to top it off with a side of whipped garlic sauce. Also I love their honey harissa steak. I order it at a side order to up my proteins. GAINS! Nothing but love for this place . If you havent tried it . Stop by and get your grub on. They also serve falafel. I haven't tried . However I'm more of a meat person. Def recommend. Ambiance ? It's a nice, chill environment. read more

Best falafel in the neighborhood. Friendly service. Glad that it's here and doing well.

This location has a special place in my heart. 1988, I just came back from being stationed overseas and my girl friend (now my wife) says lets have Falafel for lunch. What's Falafel? Back then, the restaurant was called The Promised Land and it was the first time I took a bite of Falafel. Now, I was hooked! Strange that I never had nor heard of Falafel growing up in Brooklyn. Working in NYC was when I saw the different Falafel styles and was introduced to Einat Admonys version at Taim. I was a total fan of her Falafel. And to me, she gets points because she served in the IDF as well as being in Season 3 of Guy Fieri's Tournament of Champions? Shabbat Shalom sister with a fist bump. Which takes me to 2024, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen in Plainview. Walking in just floods me with so many memories. The counterperson says if I join the Taim rewards I can save on my first order so download the app. 1988 doesn't have anything on 2024! Once I downloaded the app, I ordered something simple, The O.G. Falafel Pita made with Harissa (for a little kick) I sit down to a nice, clean location. Brightly colored tables and a jug with some delicious looking lemonade. (Too sugary for me in 2024) My meal is ready. I like the fact that there is both Hummus and Tahini sauce inside the pita. It was a nice sandwich, the pita texture to me was a little off. It was too thick compared to what I'm used to at other falafel joints. Just for a moment, I had lunch back in time. Them I checked my app for the meal credit, I jumped in my Electric Car and headed home. Chicken Shawarma is calling me, I'll be back. (80s reference) read more

One of my favorite grab and go restaurants! Everything I've tried has always been delicious. Last visit I tried the Honey Harissa Steak bowl and it was so good! I love the variety of toppings you can add. The hummus and pita are always so fresh and flavorful. The mint lemonade is also great! I'll definitely be visiting a lot! read more

The service: 5 stars. The service was unbeatable though it was very slow at the cashier but Adam was very patient with each customer. Food The pickles: 5 stars. I wonder if Marie Antoinette ever had a pickle cabinet. If she did. Taim's pickles must had been in there. Lol! The cauliflower shawarma: 4 stars. I would give it 5 stars if not deep fried. Very flavorful in their mysterious 7 spices. I only wish it was not deep fried. The jasmine cumin rice: 5 stars. I would not mind to be a sumo wrestler. Lol! The turmeric couscous: 2 stars. I would really like it if it was clear particles. In stead, it was like 95% dried yellow porridge, mushy. I would call it mashed couscous. The green spicy chill sauce and harissa were too oily to my taste. Both were not spicy enough to me:)). I am a killer queen of spicy food. Lol. I have been Taim three times so far. Each time I have discovered something enlightening. Today there was a woman came in with total 9 Pita Surprise complimentary cards that were distributed on the grand opening day. It was supposed to one per customer. Anyhow, the store honored her all free food such as desert, fries, drinks and other sides without any food purchase. The cashier Adam was spontaneously said:"I am not sure if I can redeem all 9...." The woman was somewhat sheepish. She tried to conceal her embarrassment all at once. She tossed 3 coupons herself for a mental justification. Meanwhile Adam called a manager like man over. This man was like Mahatma Gandhi, he compassionately honored the woman all 6 coupons without a trace of "discrimination" on abusing Free coupons offered by the business in a good deed. Remember, no food purchased by her. Lol! Taim has once again won my taste buds and soul. lol! read more

Decided to give it another shot and glad we did. Food was so much better this time. They didn't leave anything out of our takeout order, the shawarma chicken was moist and flavorful and the portions were much better as well. I should have taken a picture but I gobbled it down before I thought about it. Much better experience this time!! read more

Inside there is a decent space for sitting, and a bright welcoming yellow! Staff is just as bright and work so hard! This is a new business, they are learning...be patient! They do an excellent job keeping everything perfect as expected (taste and picture) and I am addicted! I was invited for their soft opening, and attended the grand opening. They had to make a TON of food before they officially opened the doors, and they are definitely soldiers! That jasmine rice is perfection, a must try if you can...and the falafel was cooked perfectly! Everything was cooked with care, and has so much flavor. Definitely a customer for life! read more

Food was amazing! The chicken shawarma was my favorite! My daughter loved their hummus. This is the best hummus in the area. Restaurant was very clean and the staff were very attentive. Recommend this restaurant for your stop when you're shopping here! read more

Taim is always good. It doesn't matter which location you visit, you are guaranteed to have a good meal. This is a smaller location but still offers the same menu you know and love. I had the chicken shawarma bowl and as per usual it was delicious and freshly made! The staff was friendly and they also offer rewards, including 50% off your first entrée. This shopping center has added a lot of goodies recently and Taim is the icing on the cake. read more

I'm really happy there's a taim in Plainview. Their ingredients are fresh and flavorful and always lead to a satisfying meal. When taking out from taim, I prefer to make my own bowl. I alternate between the chicken and the cauliflower shawarma, which are both delicious. I get it on a base of half couscous and half supergreens. I load the bowl up with all the veggies (tomatoes, chickpeas, cucumbers), plus hummus and tzatziki. Perfection! I normally don't opt for a dressing, but I'm weird and usually don't put dressing on anything. Their pita and fries are also really good, especially if you dip them in the whipped garlic. One other tip: they have an app that allows you to order ahead, and they have a rewards program. read more

Hands down one of my new favorite places in my neighborhood. Their food is so fresh and absolutely delicious. Their harissa steak bowl was everything I could ask for and more. Their service is great as well, everyone there is very friendly. I got mine with rice, harissa steak, harissa sauce, tzatziki sauce, cucumbers and fresh as can be cucumbers. This is easily one of my new go to spots. Absolutely incredible. read more

Pretty solid but very similar to Cava and kind of pricey. They didn't fill my bowl up super well and they often do at Cava so I would just prefer that place. read more

I ordered a carry out order of two falafel platters. The order was ready in 15 minutes when I arrived at the restaurant. The staff were courteous and friendly. My wife enjoyed our dinner. The falafels were delicious and nice and spicy the way I like them. read more

Taim finally opened up in Plainview! I've tried them a few times in the city but haven't been back in awhile. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma Pita with their most popular toppings and tahini sauce. I added romaine lettuce and the staff was happy to oblige. The inside had plenty of seating and was a big open space. It was much nicer than your typical grab and go places. The only downside was the orange/yellow grease that drenched the bottom of my pita. I'm thinking it came from the chicken shawarma and the employee didn't drain the grease before scooping it into my pita. I would try their falafel next time as the grease made the bottom half of my pita soggy and messy to eat. read more

It's pretty good. Reminds me of a chipotle quality which is always hit or miss food. The chicken is flavorful but was cold when served. The hummus is very good as were the pitas served hot. Value is good $14 for shawarma plate with chicken rice and Greek salad on a platter. read more

Best falafel I have ever had besides the stuff fresh from Israel. Amazing service. Cute little place.

A little disappointed on our latest takeout order. Sauces were not in the bag or on the side. Seasoning was lacking and the veggies were scarce. Pita's were not as fresh as they were the last time we ordered. In my opinion they went from five stars to three. We will try again next month! read more

Placed a corporate order for $400 worth of catering and they sent us an entire tray of lettuce that was going bad. Brown around the edges and slightly smelly. Called up to complain about it and got a half hearted apology from the "manager". Won't be using them again. read more

My wife picked up a bowl, and I ordered a lunch special type of meal. It was $10 and came with a pita sandwich and fries. The sandwich was really good, as was the bowl my wife ordered. She got the cauliflower and I thought that was great. My sandwich was with the chicken shawarma and that was very good. I love that you're able to customize each meal and add the toppings you enjoy most. Cucumbers and chickpeas are definitely my go-to on the pita. The garlic sauce is also awesome. The fries were a little soggy, but I drove home before eating so that was on me. We threw them in the toaster oven and they crisped right up. read more

I'm so excited for this place! Finally quick and easy Mediterranean spot. It's like the chipotle of Mediterranean spots. I'm only giving it four stars because I believe it's extremely expensive compared to a chipotle. However, I find Mediterranean food to be healthier and I am willing to pay a little extra for that read more

Take out/order in sort of place. Was not expecting this to be so good!!!! Falafel balls seem almost deep fried (crispy on the outside and soft on the inside), tahini is tangy, hummus is creamy, eggplant is out of this world, and you can make your own bowl. Kind customer service too. We'll be back!! read more

The menu at this Taim Mediterranean Restaurant on the corner store location of the Plainview Centre off of South Oyster bay Road has Falafels, egg plant, and other dishes and drinks. Drinks are somewhat different with added spices and herbs as pear, raspberry, Thai basil and mint. Cant wait to try them all. (see pix) read more

We ordered for 4 however, only 1 person could eat dinner as the order was messed up ( we ordered the PITA 's on the side rather than sandwiched because most of the family has gluten allergies) The food smelled and looked delicious and my son (no gluten issue) said it was outstanding. That being said, every single order was wrong so our Sunday family dinner was ruined. From what I could see, when ordering online, you are able to add in specific special instructions, yet when the preparer reads the computer printout on their side , it doesn't actually print the details of the special instructions ( eg, PITA on the side and not as sandwich, sauce on the side, eg)- it just notes "Special Instructions" on the printout that was stapled to the outside of the delivery bag. I would like to try them again ( and hopefully get to actually eat the food this time), but it becomes an expensive experiment again , so I hope they can work out the delivery system. read more

I was really surprised about Taim. I'm very picky with Mediterranean food. They have a small menu with good food. I had the chicken shwarma...yummy!!! read more

Taim is a much needed diverse food experience in this area. I was waiting for them to open and rushed to their soft opening. We got a falafel bowl, golden eggplant bowl and a chicken shawarma bowl. The base was a bed of flavored jeera rice topped with the star ingredients and sides of pickled cabbage, cucumber in tahini and hummus with a side of soft and fluffy pita. The flavor combination was great and the portions were good enough to fill me up. The falafels were spot on, eggplant was so flavorful and the shawarma was delicious. Great tasting Mediterranean bowls. read more

So lucky to have this place close by! Being a famous staple in NYC, it's amazing we have one now in Long Island! Food is fresh and flavorful! You can make a bowl or a pita sandwich and it's so healthy. With all the toppings and sides to choose from, it's never a dull lunch or dinner. The rice with the honey harissa steak is my fav and the green falafels as well! The pickled onion are slightly sweet, which I love and the hummus is delicious. I'm so glad I found this place. read more

Had Taim today and not sure what happened. I got the bowl with the 2 bases being romaine and basmati rice. The rice was hard almost as if it was stale rice.. and the portion was very small. I placed my order at the cashier at 1:12 and received my food at 1:30. I'm sorry but 18 minutes is way to long for a person to be wasting during their lunch break to get food. Something with the food left my stomach upset for the rest of the day. Not sure if it was too much salt in the chicken shawarma or something with the tzatziki. Very disappointing experience today. read more

I came here last year and wrote a bad review because I got the WRONG THING. This place is sooooo gooood definitely better than Cava.

I'm thrilled that Taïm is planting some roots in Nassau County! This is one of my favorite fast-casual chains in NYC. Delicious food and more generous portions than places like Panera. They also serve meat at this location (unlike some other Taïm outposts). read more

Let me start off by saying the food here is actually pretty good. I particularly like the meatballs. The sauces are all delicious. My biggest problem with this place is it very disorganized. The first time I ate here, I picked up two bowls and when I got home, realized they made the entire order incorrectly (gave me falafel instead of chicken) for BOTH bowls. The second time I ate here I picked up one bowl. This time I checked right when I got in the car and it was wrong AGAIN. They gave me someone else's bowl. Not really worth it for the amount of disorganization. You could get many other more reliable lunch options. read more

Ordered thru the app pickup, food was ready when i got there. I felt wierd b/c it looked like the rack was behind the counter but i still grabbed it. Was nice to be able to sit outside and eat.The bathroom was fine also. read more

I was very happy with my chicken pita. I keep it simple, pita, hummus, cucumber and tomato salad. Everything was fresh. My kid got the chicken kids meal and ate it which is big. My wife and daughter got the falafel (one got a bowl and the other a pita). Both were happy. I will be going back again for sure. Staff is nice and accommodating and the service although slow was accurate. We sat and ate there and it was clean and bright. Bathroom was clean too. Only thing I would pass on is the fries. They were soggy and not hot. read more

Not impressed by the food. Went on their opening day and got turned away as they were running out of food. Finally got a chance to go and was very excited but turned out to be very mediocre: the chicken was okay, the rice was extremely dry and crunchy. Now sure why rice would have that texture. Even the pita that came with my meal was super dry. However, the customer service at the register was definitely great; the guy who took my order was really friendly. Probably the best part of my experience with Taim. read more

Love this new place! People need to cut them slack, they just opened. And despite just opening, delicious food and generous portions. The times I ordered- I ordered online for in store pickup. The order was ready at the selected time and nothing was missing. Green falafel are better than the harissa imo- they are more traditional. With they had a lamb/beef shwerma! read more

Great food and service. Ordering very easy and food came quickly and accurately Can't wait to go back!!!! read more
