Taim on 57th Street in Manhattan is next door to my office. I can order and pick up in minutes. After my first order, I realized I had an account because they keep offering me free items almost daily. They have a wrap that's chicken, or beef and lamb, in lavash (flat bread) with many toppings (you can choose some or all). That comes with a sugar-free soda. It's a great lunch deal for $10. Counter staff are friendly and efficient. I recommend the tabouli and the beet salad. read more

I'm not quite a regular but I eat lunch here almost once a month. I'm disappointed that this store is using plastic containers now. Well, I don't know where its garbage and recyclables wind up outside the store. Anyway, the food and staff are always nice. Nice to dine-in, in case something is missing in your order. I order chicken shawarma and made my own bowl. Also, ordered the Ginger Mint Lemonade which is tasty with light ice. read more

Taïm Falafel and Smoothie Bar - Chicken shawarma, make your own bowl - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

Ebony the hostess/cashier is exceptional wonderful personality great suggestions fun to be with This place is a West Village go to ! Israeli style many toppings and 4 sauces to try Pita is soft chewy perhaps home made to go packed very well excellent bag with handles Two big steps to climb up no rails but can hold onto the door handle no ADA chair friendly call ahead & order small inside but there's always WSP benches & fountain Come by say hi read more

This place used to be amazing but these days the food has changed and the quality isn't what it used to be. Order notes were not listened to and items are over fried and burnt. I was also given the wrong order several times. I think there is a huge disconnect between the kitchen and the customer and people who take your order. I wish this place would get it together because I think this is one of the best falafels in the city. read more

I had a great experience at the west village location. Staff is very kind & patient. This is great little snack read more

Taïm Falafel and Smoothie Bar - French Hand Cut Fries - Mediterranean Near Me - New York, New York

There should be a disclaimer stating that this is a vegetarian eatery. It's a to-go spot with very limited narrow counter seating. Aside from the fact that I needed to order two dishes in order to be satisfied, it wasn't bad at all. However, taim is definitely lost in a sea of iterative Mediterranean food. Everything came out to be average at best. I had the "OG" Pita and a bowl with "whatever." The falafel was above the Chicago lunch tier, the golden eggplant had a nice meatiness to it. The pita and hummus quality was meh (much worse than Omar's, for example). The accoutrements worked since I was hungry but were basic and disappointing. read more

Haven't visited yet, but they need to update their website to remove closed locations. I was able to find one on Broadway near Bryant Park but it is closed forever. They were supposed to open one in New Brunswick NJ last year but there are no updates. No response to website inquiries. read more

Very good Israeli food, good price Recommended!! Had Sabich pita sandwich , very tasty read more

The consistency here brings me comfort and satisfaction. Great taste. Fair costs and nice employees. The establishment offers intimate yet spotless spaces. Their service felt natural, not forced. I wish I could give it more stars! read more

One of the best places to get falafel in NYC that I've found thus far. Crunchy, small and crumbly and super green and fragrant. I've been told that the best falafel is green from all the herbs they use and just look how green it is. You can get a bowl - got mine with couscous and hummus and all the veggies. Nice, fresh, crunchy veggies and smooth hummus. If you want a flavorful and healthy option for lunch please do yourself a favor and stop by here. The harissa ketchup is on the sweeter side but still yummy! read more

Great spot for easy, healthy takeout in the neighborhood! They recently started offering meat options which is a good variety

Used to be one of my favorite places but...cashier was on the phone while taking my order..good job multitasking but not good business. Afterward, cashier tried to give me like $3+ dollars in coins. I offered to pay with a card instead since I didn't want to walk around with all of that change but cashier said it's ok and proceeded to give the coinage anyway. I didn't want to engage in any type of tit-for-tat so I decided to leave it as a tip. Cashier obviously felt some type of way since she sarcastically stated "they left you a tip Robert - good job". I feel bad for Robert. I love the food but the exchange left me with a bad taste so I won't be returning. This place used to be packed all the time but now I see at least one reason why business is not the same. My advice-"The customer is always right" is a good platform to start from and maybe a customer service class. Good luck read more

best falafel in the city! I got here and was worried it had closed but alas open and delicious!!

Reliably fast and yummy - this one's a go-to when I'm in a hurry. I'm especially a fan of the cauliflower shawarma!

Great food! Great for any night of the week and always quick and on time. 5 stars at any locations

Good Chicken ! Harissa Falafel is a great choice as well. Not too expensive especially considering the area. It's worth stopping by if you're in the area and hungry. read more

Love the falafel, and very reasonable price as well! I always go for the pita but the bowls look great too

So glad this placed opened in my work neighborhood!! So far every order placed was filled in a timely manner. All the ingredients are fresh and nice size portions. I like the green falafels better then the harissa ones. Great place to pick up lunch or dinner! read more

I Love Coming to this location the Energy & Service is always so amazing Great Team and Even better Food. 10/10 Experience Thanks guys .

I come here all the time and it's my favorite spot in the West Village. Highly recommend!! The bowls are great.

Under new management, food quality plummeted. Single serve, bland, room temp pita bread comes in a plastic bag and can't be warmed up, for example. Sad. read more

Taim is a great lunch spot! I usually order the bowl with half hummus / half cous cous or salad with chicken, all the toppings, and a drizzle of harissa. The falafel is also delicious as well but try to eat those asap since they'll lose their crisp sitting in the hummus. Sometimes if I'm extra hungry, I'll get a side of the pita and hummus. I love the zaatar seasoning on the pita which pairs well with the hummus. Don't forget to sign up for the app! read more

We came upon this spot via Yelp, while looking for a vegetarian restaurant in the Village. "Taim" in Hebrew means tasty, and the fare is Mediterranean with an Israeli twist. Their falafels come highly recommended, and of course I ordered a falafel bowl, because I love falafels. Turns out, I'll recommend them too, because they are tasty--just the right texture and spice blend, crunchy without being dry. You select your choice of bowl or pita, then from a range of toppings. Some are included in the base price, some are extra, all listed on the menu boards over the counter. The employees were helpful and efficient. This is a tiny storefront without a dining area, so it's essentially grab and go, and there was a constant stream of people waiting to order and/or pickup, mostly students from NYU, which is nearby. We walked a few blocks over to eat our feast at Washington Square Park. It's at the heart of the Village, and it's fast, easy, reasonably priced and delicious. What more could you want besides a table? read more

Been coming for years and the establishment is one of the better Mediterranean meals, especially their falafels, can't go wrong. Their entrees all freshly made. The establishment is extremely tight and clean; however they have limited outdoor seating. The staff are courteous, friendly and welcoming read more

Another "walk around til you find an interesting vegetarian place" review. We found another gem. Very reasonably priced, we both ordered Eggplant Sabich Bowls, sitting outside (there is very limited indoor counter seating and a few outdoor tables). Both bowls went with half hummus/half romaine lettuce base. I stuffed mine with the Shifka Peppers, pickled onions, chickpeas, almonds, and shallots topped with Harissa sauce. Partner was more restrained, only adding chickpeas. Mine was better, although there was disagreement on that fact. If in the area and looking for a quick delicious meal, definitely consider TAIM. read more

Way better than the Taim in Flatiron, both in terms of quality and quantity. I ordered a salad the other day with the cauliflower shawarma and added on the Mediterranean carrots and kalamata olives. The salad was fantastic, it was a great portion size, and it was dressed well (normally I like my dressing on the side so I can control the amount but luckily I had no complaints there). For somewhere in the realm of $14 it is a little pricey but no more so than sweetgreen so I think it's a comparable alternative. Plus the cauliflower was really amazing. Haven't tried the falafel from this location yet (one of my biggest complaints about the flatiron location is that the falafel can be very dry) so that'll be the real test, but I was pretty impressed by the salad I got. Will order again. read more

I must have confused this place with another Israeli place I ate in the past (probably hummus place), was in the neighborhood, and was craving some good Israeli food, this was not it... Taim (tasty in Hebrew) felt like an attempt at Israeli fast food. There was nothing really bad here, but nothing exceptional either, I can best describe it as "ok" and hence the 3 star review. My wife would call me generous, so combined review would be 2.5 stars read more

The food is great, i got the impossible kebab bowl with all the ingredients i want. The service is great too. read more

I was skeptical of the menu when I first arrived, but ended up finding something I loved - the falafel pita! The pita is generously filled with falafel down to the last bite. You can fill your order with unlimited toppings, and the staff member taking my order was so patient and friendly as I went thru the menu and customized my meal. Highly recommend coming by here for a healthy, satisfying meal! read more

I tried Taim to add to my weekly lunch rotations at work - it didn't live up at all. There just isn't any flavor , super bland food. The falafel was dry, it wasn't very tasty. read more

I enjoyed a low-key dinner with one of my girlfriends at Taim this week. We ordered bowls and snagged one of their outdoor tables (note: there is no indoor seating and only 3 outdoor tables on the sidewalk). In my bowl, I had hummus and couscous as the base and then added eggplant, pickled cabbage, red pepper baba, crispy chickpeas, tzatziki. I also had a pita with za'atar on the side. Everything was good and tasty; however, my friend's shawarma cauliflower was definitely the right pick (rather than the eggplant). read more

love the food love the employees love the location! so affordable and delicious :) basim is awesome!!

Ebony was very clearly SLAMMED with orders and still was beyond sweet and helpful, got me my stuff so fast. Love this place.

Flavor, flavor flavor!!!!! I was worried just by getting romaine as my base and beets & carrots as my main it would be a little bland but nope!! This place is PACKED with flavor. Build-your- bowl with amazing options, it's good for any type of eater!! Not to mention you can pick 6 TOPPINGS and the sauces are too good to beat. Very filling, HEALTHY and a reasonable price! Only wish there was more outdoor seating :( no where to eat around!! read more

This place came HIGHLY recommended by a friend of mines and although I've seen it in passing i was never really into falafels to give it a chance. Plus it's pretty small and ALWAYS busy and crowded (which is a good sign right?) Have to say... I was VERY impressed with my food. I came by for lunch and ordered the green falafel with the works in a pita bread along with some fries with both sauces. In a nutshell I will be back!! Falafels were DELICIOUS!!! So good!! The both sauces that came with the fries are amazing. Was definitely glad that I got them both! Liked the saffron aioli best!! My stomach was full and I was a happy person full of energy afterwards. I will definitely be returning! read more

Try one of the platters, probably doesn't matter which one, I got the sabich. There's an abundance of vegetable items - pickles, peppers, tabouleh, excellent hummus. The clock is ticking, as the strawberry gazpacho is a summer special. The strawberry was subtle, not the tricked-out fusion I was expecting. read more

yes this Taim is still exist :) making me happy every time I'm coming here with my friends. tasty, and friendly services. hidden spot to eat is at Next door, if you see then please Go! A beautiful English Garden! Taim customers are always welcoming to eat there for many years. read more

Fresh and yummy Greek salad. Perfect for pickup lunch. That's all I have to say but Yelp is pushy.

Fast service, healthy and delicious food. Great place for lunch But their website is a nightmare - be prepared to spend 30 minutes to set up the payment for first time order. read more
