The man working there is incredible! I had a problem with my order and he went above and beyond. The customer service was very personal. I am coming back just because of that. I wish I asked for his name! The food was 10/10! I got the signature chicken shawarma plate. The meat was juicy and flavourful! The toppings were delicious and they weee generous with the sauce! Thank you!!

Best falafel outside Israel ! Visiting Manhattan from Texas (Israeli family) and have had this place on my list for a while. Finally stopped in today for a falafel pita sandwich. Downloaded the app and got amazing FREE Hummus & Zatar Pita. Get the Mint Ginger Lemonade, you’ll thank them after !

It's mostly a take out location. There's barely any seating. The food is still just as good as the other locations.

Their menu is different from what you see on here. The shawarma & bowl are almost of the similar price. The food is good but a bit higher in price for what you get. The restaurant staff won't smile at you and aren't very polite.

Consistently one of the better falafel places downtown... The food is always good, and lines are to be expected during busy hours. This location is the original one, and seating is limited to 4-5 people inside this small "room.". Service, however, has taken a tumble when we visited on 11/15/19, as the original founders are no longer there, so have to rely on workers who are obviously not too thrilled with serving the crowds. So come here for the food but that's it.

I have worked in the West Village for years and have consistently seen the quality of this location’s food decline while the prices rise. The latest order I placed today will be my last! Ordered a falafel bowl with half rice and half hummus. There is barely any hummus and the rice is dry and stale, not how they used to make it. I dunno why their quality just gets worse since they are a popular lunch spot. Oh and now they charge for a pita on the side of a bowl. Fortunately the falafels are still good, but this isn’t worth the $17 bowl for me any more.

If you are vegetarian or eat Kosher, this place is fantastic! If not, it’s an average healthy option for takeout. Their falafel was good, kinda dry. The couscous base was great. The pearls were large which I like. Hot peppers added more flavor, not too spicy. Fries are more limp but the aioli with them is a perfect dipping sauce. My mind wasn’t blown, but it’s a reliably good, healthy meal.

I used to love Taïm but my experiences the last few times I’ve gone in the past couple of years have been consistently disappointing. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be going back. The portions are smaller, prices have gone up, and the food is noticeably worse. I went yesterday and got a falafel bowl with rice. Our order came without the sauce we ordered (probably because the one employee at the place was fulfilling a lot of orders on his own), the rice was tough and dry, and the toppings flavorless. They were out of a lot of menu items we requested. I feel for the employees, who appear overworked. They used to keep a full kitchen staff whereas now, I only see one or two poor employees running the entire place.

The girl behind the register was very polite. Unfortunately after ordering i realized that the recipes were stolen from what are traditionally Arabic recipes and named Israeli. Why does Israeli culture always have to steal everything from the Arabic culture including language, music, and my favorite thing food. Its pretty simple a made up state like Israel cannot have recipes like hummus and falafel because they lack longevity. With that being said the food tasted extremely unauthentic almost like someone was told this is the recipe we are going to copy or as if it were premade. I do not support anything. New York city has so many authentic middle eastern restaurants to visit and this is definitely not one of them. I will not be going back. I gave 3 stars on the service because the girl was polite until I stated my opinion!

Please make this make sense. Employee puts on gloves to touch every surface of the kitchen to then touch your food. Mind you this is what some of their surfaces look like. I saw them touching and moving this Monitor to view orders.
