Garlic Steak Shawarma was hella good. Falafel texture was great and its flavor was amplified by the three sauces they gave (Tzatziki, TMG BBQ [modified BBQ], and AMBA [modified honey mustard], if I remember correctly). The sauces were definitely another highlight of the meal, they have 8 total! I asked for another Garlic sauce and to sample the Cilantro Avocado one. They gave them for free. All the ones we tried were awesome. Before we left we figured we would try their Pistachio Baklava too. Definitely the best I've had so far, with prominent pistachio and rose water flavors but oh so sweet haha. If we lived near, we would for sure be regulars!

I'm torn on Taïm. My feelings fall somewhere in the 3.5 realm and (from what you can see of this…read morereview) I chose to round up, though my reasoning might be a little skewed. Let me explain. I met my buddy here for dinner back in late February before heading to the nearby movie theater. I hadn't known Taïm was so close by (or to be honest, what it even was!) until my Yelp search led me to this location. A little Mediterranean-esque meal sounded good and so we strolled in around 7:45 to a semi-spacious spot with no one else in it. Perhaps it was a bit chilly inside, a tad later for some, or maybe the menu isn't/wasn't as enticing to everyone (I watched a family of 4 walk in and out after reading it over), but whatever the reason, it worked for us. Reading things over on that menu, taim feels a lot like Wild Fig or Hummus Mediterranean, two spots with a similar setup that I find to be superb. In the same bowl (or plate as they call it) manner, you can pick your rice/salad base, protein/veggie, toppings, and then sauce. There was plenty to choose from though I opted for the rice over chicken shawarma with toppings of pickled onion, feta, Kalamata olives, peppers, and a cucumber/tomato mix. I got harissa sauce on the side and it came with pita bread too. My buddy got a similar mixture of things. The price for my plate came to a little over $15 which seemed reasonable enough. Once settled at a seat, I dug into the plate with the zing of the chicken shawarma taking hold along with plenty of spicy/tangy/creamy/fresh flavors coming through as well. The pita was subpar if we're being honest here, but I used it with some of that harissa which helped. Though mostly tasty, the plate did seem a little small and by the time I finished, I probably could have had something else to feel a little more full. So why the borderline review? Honestly, the experience was fine, but as you can kind of tell, nothing about taim really jumped out to me. Interior was basic (with honestly too many stools and not enough seats), price was decent, food was pretty good, and service was ok (the staff seemed a little out of it) so me returning here feels like, at first, a real tossup...unless you throw in that proximity piece. Though it shouldn't really count, the closeness to the movie theater (which I will occasionally visit when meeting up with friends) will potentially get me to come back to a place like this again if I'm looking for a lighter type of meal. So with that in mind, taim may hold a purpose for some when in this area and wanting this type of cuisine. Overall, I think Taïm is nothing necessarily special, but it can serve a purpose with its unique type of food in a location that does not seem to offer up too much else like it. Any competition might eliminate the desire to go here and therein lies the dilemma, but for now, I'll push things north and give taim those four stars if for no other reason than where it is and what's around it. Perhaps more visits (because of cinema closeness) will help to solidify those four celestials, but only time will tell.

ORIGIN: TAÏM (pronounced tie-eem) is the Hebrew word for…read moretasty. The first location opened in New York's West Village in 2005. LOCATION: The Farmingdale location opened in 2023. It is conveniently positioned in a new set back strip mall complex along the popular north-south thoroughfare. AMBIANCE: The interior is large, with high ceiling and many windows. The design is simple and cheerful, with blond wood surfaces and sunny yellow graphics. Not by any means a cozy space, but inviting nonetheless. FOOD and BEVERAGE: The expanding chain offers custom Mediterranean plates and pitas filled with flavorful and vibrant components. I've enjoyed a plate with vibrant green falafel and another one with cauliflower shawarma -- both surrounded by my choice of sides and sauces (see attached photos for component details). A beverage of chilled house-made ginger mint lemonade was the perfect accompaniment. Be sure to add the Baklava! SERVICE: Service is efficient. TIP: A small patio courtyard next to the restaurant allows outside dining during pleasant weather. There are quite a few locations around NYC (12) and one in DC, so good to keep in mind when traveling and looking for a reasonably priced, flavorful, and nutritious quick meal.

We already knew what we wanted for our entrées but decided to start with a few appetizers. Based on her recommendation, we tried the Mantoo (steamed chicken dumplings) and Kashk Badenjan (eggplant dish). Both were flavorful and enjoyed by everyone at the table. For our main course, we ordered the Mixed Grill Combination, which included lamb tikka, lamb kebab, jujeh, and chicken tikka. The portion was generous--perfect for sharing and even better for leftovers. It happened to be my aunts birthday and we were offered a traditional Afghan dessert, Firnee. It was a pudding topped with pistachios. It was creamy and sweet. Such a thoughtful gesture. By the way they also offer BYOB, which is a nice bonus. Overall, great food, friendly service, and an enjoyable dining experience.

Walk in, the open kitchen to your left (seems like a brilliant use of the space layout they had to work with). Meet the smiling host, then straight into the dining room. The dining room is elevated for North Bellmore, white tablecloths, lighting, fixtures, plates, silverware - they spent a few bucks making it nice. We ordered too much, which happens when eating late after skipping lunch.... Apps: 1. The grilled halloumi was great - sometimes it can get rubbery - not here. They were served over thick sliced roasted tomatoes which held up just enough to get some grill marks as well. I could have done without the glaze, but it was still ok. 2. Tuna tartare - deep red tuna, diced, over avocado - well plated, good dish. 3. Couldn't decide on a grilled fish app, so went with the grilled seafood sampler - amazing flavor on it all - calamari, shrimp and octopus all tender and kissed just enough on that open flame. Knife work on the garnishes and plating was done by someone who cares. Diced peppers under the calamari must've been quickly pickled - they had great flavor and kept just enough crunch to make a great dish even better. For entrees - went with the grilled salmon and ribeye steak... couldn't believe it was as good as it was for the price. Salmon was delicious, juicy, and even the skin on (plated skin down) was perfect - which I can never do, especially on a grill. The ribeye was delicious - lots of rib-cap, perfectly medium-rare, even on a hot plate, and I could swear the chef might have predicted cook time to put the more rare side plate down to make it become a medium steak by the time it hit the table. And the fries..... ohhhhhh the fries..... I'm a sucker for french fries when done right, and I ordered these fries and apps alone, it would have been a perfect meal.... perfectly hot, crispy, and plentiful. Stuffed, packed up some of the entrees for leftovers, and skipped desert and coffee - it was late. But will deffff be back and can't wait to try some of the offerings on that menu. Oh and here's a tip... if you park facing the restaurant at night, turn off your headlights as you're pulling into the spot. Was it a particularly flawless night, or is this the norm? Will report back after going back - will deff be back.
