Tasty bowls, very filling. Both falafel types are good but the green one is my favorite. Hummus is good, fries are delicious. The chicken shawarma, eggplant and crispy cauliflower were all delicious. read more

The food is honestly pretty decent for the price point, but at least this location screws up the order at least half the time. Often it's just forgetting to add some of the toppings, other times it's adding the wrong ones. Mistakes happen, but when they don't include items that cost extra, "like $4 of falafel", or give you lettuce instead of rice, it's a bit much. If you order online for pickup, they also only offer "help" of a phone number that rings for a minute before hanging up. There's no recourse to correct your order or to get at least a partial refund for the items you don't receive. Guess they'll just have to deal with the credit card company as they're too busy screwing up orders to answer the phone. read more

This place only had three workers, who have to focus on getting the orders done however there's nobody taking orders (because they're all busy making food) and only one system to take people's orders, which I can't imagine is impel because the couple in front of us took a whole 10 minutes. Completely inefficient model that isn't conducive to allowing more customers to dine in a faster efficient fashion. An apparent model that's says we don't care about customers. Will never come back to this place again. read more

I always attend this strip for lunch and this was my 1st visit, Absolutely delicious & The Fries were the greasiest I've ever had. The staff was friendly and even helped with my order. I greatly appreciate the help of navigating through a new menu. Thumbs up to tonight staff read more

Taim Mediterranean Kitchen - Largest portion of fries with House made Ketchup Sauce. And of course the flaffel - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

The menu appealed to me, but when we went inside, the staff was grumpy. When I checked in on Yelp, I was offered a free drink that I chose to redeem right then, after purchasing three meals, totaling $70. When my daughter took my phone up to show the yelp reward and redeem our drink, she was told that we would have to pay for it. The employee took my phone and deleted the reward. Later in the meal she came over and once again offered to give me a drink as long as I would pay five dollars for it. I told her I wasn't interested in making another purchase, and was merely trying to redeem the Yelp reward. She did not ever redeem the reward. Expensive food and poor attitude made me not want to go back. read more

This is kind of like fast food Mediterranean/Israeli. Not much in terms of atmosphere but that's not what people should be coming here for, anyway. Food is good, the staff was patient and kind (I wasn't used to ordering on the screen where I had to pick all of the different options and I got confused several times and they were very nice about showing me what to do). The food is very fresh and it's a good value for your buck. I got a felafel bowl with a couscous base. It was filling and delicious. It was also enough to split with two people without a problem. If I found myself in Dupont Circle around lunchtime again, I would definitely do this. read more

By far the best Mediterranean fast casual, in DC and probably in the US. On Sundays, great deal: pita wrap and fries for $10. Food is excellent. Fresh, large serving, many options. But what really sets taim apart is the extremely friendly, hard-working staff - and the spotlessly clean and well-designed restaurant. Much better than Cava and similar options. Recommend checking taim out. read more

Edgar Moreno is an absolute lifesaver!! We placed a gold belly order, which ships from this location, and after experiencing some technical issue with goldbelly, Edgar was able to easily sort everything out and make sure that our orders were due to arrive to the proper recipients. Not only was he incredibly kind but he was incredibly professional and I can happily say that I would gladly order from this location anytime! Three cheers for Edgar!!!! read more

I didn't like the food here. I'm from a Mediterranean country and would not call this good Mediterranean food, not by a long shot. The theme seemed to be bland, bland, bland. I tried plenty of their menu items and with the exception of two, most were disappointing. The two dishes I enjoyed were the strawberry tomato gazpacho and the impossible kebab pita. The gazpacho was refreshing and flavorful. The impossible kebab pita was well-seasoned and savory. However, these two dishes did not save the rest of our order. The fries were undercooked and had a crunch (not the crispy kind) and at the same time were floppy. The two accompanying sauces were fine, nothing special. Overall, the $5 price-point for this side-dish is outrageous considering the poor quality of the potatoes themselves, let alone the serving size. Also tried two hummus bowls (beets & carrots and eggplant sabich) and the main issue there was the dry and bland hummus. It's the kind of hummus that sticks your mouth shut. The vegetables were fresh but they didn't add much to the bowl and didn't blend well with the hummus (or rescue it). Little Sesame's hummus bowls are far superior. The falafel pita was bland. It was loaded and overflowing with hummus and vegetables and also had a generous serving of falafels. But it just wasn't tasty. Finally, the wheat pita (both the seasoned and not seasoned versions) was bland. It was very thick and bread-like and fell below the mark that even a grocery-store pita bread hits. I will not be visiting again. read more

I had a bowl and it was good. The restaurant is clean and the staff are very kind. My only gripe would be the music the play is a little loud. read more

BLESS this spot. Excellent food and fast service. Ordering process done through a screen so it goes by pretty quick. Very efficient staff.

this was a real surprise treat. the restaurant is very modern and chic for fast casual, the staff is SO nice and friendly. and obvi what you really wanna know about: the food. The hummus is super creamy and yummy-- maybe it could take some more garlic or lemon, but its def fresh and tasty i had the cauliflower hummus bowl and it was DELICIOUS! like exceeded my expectations delicious. the amba sauce is very turmeric forward and its good but i recommend getting it on the side. i also got it with shug on the side (omg yummy!) I was kind of surprised it didnt come with bread b/c i am not used to eating hummus without bread, so i recommend adding bread b/c it looks really good and fresh. I am a hard core carnivore and i walked away full and happy :) read more

This place is great for a fast causal meal in DuPont - perfect for your lunch break. They have bowls with rice, hummus, or lettuce. I highly recommend the falafel option. Very easy to customize your order read more

Taim Mediterranean Kitchen - Outside of store - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

See all

Taïm Dupont Circle is my absolute favorite go-to bowl place in DC. The prices are fair, the location is accessible, the people are so great, and the food is fresh and leaves you feeling healthily satisfied. The menu at this location is also very vegetarian-forward. I've tried almost every item on the menu and always love what I order. Some highlights: their artisan pita!! Pair that with the babaganoush and it's an enjoyable snack. Eggplant sabich bowl's flavor/texture combo is incredible (eggplant is also always done right). I prefer the green falafels as they are herb-y and complement whatever other items you have in the bowl. If you're on the fence about the tahini banana toasted almond smoothie -- try it. Some things to note: the impossible kebabs tend to be on the saltier side (as is the case with most plant-based products). Shifka peppers can also be on the more sour side (but should be expected, i guess). The one time I had fries, they were a little too dry for my liking. On a nice day, enjoy the food outdoors on the many benches at the beautiful Dupont Circle! read more

I really like this place. Falafel is really good. They don't let you choose the toppings and stuff but you can choose like what to get from the menu. And I think the whole place is vegan which is pretty good. The pita bread is the best part because it's so soft and really good. I usually get the harissa falafel pita and they are very clean about how they make the food inside. You can even see the whole kitchen. read more

Taim Mediterranean Kitchen - Harissa Falafel pita - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Service was impeccable, the person behind the counter could not have been nicer. Food was very good, though we expected the bowl to be a little bit bigger. The falafel itself is delicious. read more

Got the impossible kebab bowl with hummus and romaine. Very small portion and the bowl had a ton of liquid on the bottom. Im guessing whoever made it didn't care to drain the romaine or the cabbage before throwing it on there. If you want to pay more and get less fresh food than at Cava, this is your place. read more

Even since I visited Israel earlier this year, I've been looking for the flavored, succulent chicken shawarma that I had there, and finally found it at Taïm! read more

Great bowls! The hummus is very good, but don't make the same mistake I did and get hummus as both the base and a topping. Do this if you want essentially hummus soup!! Service was excellent as well! read more

WOW! This was delicious. Perfect lunch spot. The shawarma and meatballs were both fantastic. Don't miss the fries with harissa ketchup.

This place is phenomenally good and healthy in many ways. The cauliflower schwarma (I know that's spelled wrong) is fabulous. The toppings are great. I was in DC on a biz trip and literally got it two days in a row because it was so good. Nothing to complain about other than the drink selection. Will definitely be ordering again if I'm in a city that has a location. SO happy to see you can order through Goldbelly!!! The first time I had the cauliflower I thought it was not fried; but I'm not sure now if it is or isn't. Not being from around any of the current locations, I will probably try making some version of it for myself at some point. I really wanted to try the Moroccan carrots but didn't want to pay for a side when it was plenty of food for me as just the bowl itself. read more

Best falafel I've had in U.S. Only thing better would have been to get french fries in the falafel sandwich, like on the street in Israel.

If you are looking for a Cava-esque lunch, but want a switch up, come here! I like it better than Cava due to a variety of bright flavors in toppings and sauces. This place is Extremely veg focused, but still offers meat options as well. (Also the fries are delicious!) All the veg options are delicious. I worry about this place because there seems to be low activity and the one in Georgetown closed- Keep this Taim open!!!!!! read more

We just had tried their amazing delicious food from their new location at Falls Church. This will be my new favorite place to go to when they open. Thank you for coming to our area and will highly recommend this to all my friends and family! Can't wait for you guys open tasting a real homemade food at the restaurant! read more

Food was good, but it took about 40 minutes to get our food. Cook just announced they have a 100 tickets and there are just three of us (cooking) with a bowl taking 15 minutes to make. read more

I've eaten a LOT of falafel in my life, including all over the streets of Israel, and Taim's is really delicious. There's a lot of falafel in the DMV that's super dry and over-cooked and it's so good here. Also their pita is fluffy and amazing. The salad topics were also delicious. Super yum all around! read more

A miss for me. We ordered with our in-laws to accommodate vegan and vegetarian diets, which is easy to do at Taim. Unfortunately, the flavor combination just didn't work for me - for Mediterranean fast casual in DC, I'd opt for Cava or Souvlaki. We all seemed to have a variety of random things in our bowls - tomatoes and cucumbers, which none us of ordered - as well as missing things (neither my SIL or I had the hummus we had requested). That being said, my FIL LOVED his food. We did order online - wondering if the quality may have been better if we ordered in person. read more

So me and a few friends of mine ventured to this building Sunday night simply hungry from a long night on the town I had to leave this review because as we weren't ourselves last-night we were looking to simply put something on our tummies never been to this place before but let me tell u I had a hard time reading the menu there was this woman with dreadlocks she was singing as we asked for assistance she was so helpful and as we stood there my friend zasani was a little (you know out of it) so it took him a while to read the menu she didn't rush us in fact she actually walked (EACH OF US) through the menu gave us options and really explained to us what things were once we received the food we ordered the dreadlocked woman kept a watchful eye but not only brought our food to us at our table but proceeded to bring us waters and checking in us to make sure we were ok I can tell this place cares about their customers because this young lady treated us as if she's known us for years it made us feel so comfortable now I didn't get her name but I must say she EARNED A LOYAL CUSTOMER BASED OFF HER SERVICE ALONE I will be coming back most definitely oh and the food WAS TO DIE FOR !!!!!!! Not to mention the place was super clean read more

I recently visited the DuPont Circle location for this restaurant as I noticed it was new in the neighborhood and I wanted to check it out! The staff here was incredibly friendly and welcomed me as soon as I entered the restaurant. They also helped me navigate the menu as it was quite lengthy and a little confusing at first glance as it runs across an entire sidewall of the restaurant. I decided to make my own bowl with rice, chicken, hummus, lettuce, olives, and a few toppings. I also ordered a side of pita which was one of the best pitas I have had. Overall, I found the food to be good but not great. I believe the best restaurant to compare this to would be CAVA however, I thought the menu, food, and prices were not as good as CAVA when I visited here. However, this restaurant does have a lot of potential and I will be sure to try their falafel (which I heard they're known for) next time I visit here! read more

This is a cute spot for takeout! We've gotten takeout here twice now, and both times have been consistently good. For a salad I prefer Cava, but this may become my go to spot for a rice bowl. I've gotten the chicken both times, and it was good. We also got a side of falafel and it was amazing! Definitely recommend the falafel. We tried both the regular and the spicy, and I'm honestly not sure which was my favorite. Both were really good. I'll definitely be back, and will continue to try new things on their menu. This is a great little addition to Dupont Circle! read more

I've been here 4 times now in the last two weeks. It is excellent. I usually get a bowl with falafel and chicken or a mix of the two. The ingredients are very fresh and very tasty and it's a good amount of food. Tried the fries today and they were really good. The harissa ketchup is great. The staff is very friendly. read more

Taim Mediterranean Kitchen - Bowl with falafel/chicken and lots of delicious toppings. - Mediterranean Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

It was so fresh and I felt good after eating it. Very healthy and yummy. Would recommend to anyone looking for a healthy lunch option.

I was one of the lucky ones to have visited this place on their Grand Opening day. One would think that there would be some hiccups along the way for a new restaurant in Dupont, but they executed very well. From the back of the house to the front of they house, everybody seemed happy to work for Taïm. I ordered the falafel bowl with fries on the side and a pomegranate drink. The dish looked so colorful, vibrant and maintained its beautiful presence once I got home. Some places back a togo order as if toddlers done it. Taïm made sure the food was packed to perfection. When it came down to eat it, forget about it. Hands down the best falafel I've had in a very long time. You can tell they use fresh ingredients! I would definitely encourage you to go if you haven't already. A clean and safe environment, while everyone adhering to CDC guileless. Washingtonians are lucky to have gotten this new spot! read more

BEST pita pockets in DC. Fluffy pita. Fluffy hummus. Very easy to order online for pickup that is COVID safe. My favorite is sabiche with the crispy chewy eggplant and the boiled egg. read more

My first time eating at Taïm, and it was the most delicious lunch I've had in a long, long time.

Delicious roasted beets, falafel, hummus, and zatar pita! Not too,pricey either and a lot of food, too!

Food is good, and is prepared quickly--lots of options and everything tastes fresh. All plant-based but you definitely don't have to be veg to enjoy it. I think it's the service that really stands out here; the staff is friendly, helpful, and seemingly diligent about safety protocols. Note that their rewards program isn't built into the app (unlike similar fast-casual restaurants in the area), so you do have to go out of your way to use it. read more
