Falafel in pita is excellent, crispy falafel, crunchy veggies, smooth tahini, and pillowy pita

Fresh delicious falafel sandwich -- falafel was warm and tender and all the fixin's were on point.

Tamam offers delicious healthy food. I ordered the Falafel Platter which comes with Quinoa, Israeli Salad, Hummus, Chickpeas, Pickles, Pita and three sauces. The platter was flavorful and the falafels were well made. The portion sizes are large and priced well. Takeout service was timely. Tamam is a great place for lunch. Looking forward to trying more dishes! read more

Great lunch spot, a must if you are vegan. It's a small place with a small menu, very clean and you get your order pretty quickly. The best part is that the food is delicious. read more

Wow- it was a little overwhelming when we stepped in but the man behind the counter was super awesome explaining how it worked and making sure we got what we wanted. Everything was so fresh, hot, delicious. 11/10 recommend. Guy even came outside while we were eating and offered us some hot cauliflower to try. So insane. Would be a regular if I lived here. read more

Pretty solid falafel! I've found that the most delicious and fragrant falafel is very green inside from all the herbs integrated into the batter. Very crispy, not super warm though (warm falafel is such a difference-maker) . Some falafel can be fritters - small and very textural, this wasn't that but more standard falafel texture. Got the falafel bowl which rang up as 16 bucks but that'll be most places these days. all the components were delicious and well done, including the hummus, pickled onions and love the tiny crunchy pieces of couscous for that texture! Don't forget to ask for spicy sauce on the side. read more

Delicious, fresh, and great customer service! Popped in here for a quick lunch yesterday and we were greeted by friendly servers who briefly explained the menu. I got a falafel pita with everything on it! The sandwich was PACKED with falafel and it was delicious--crispy and savory nuggets of flavor. Probably some of the best I've had in the city. I love spicy, so I asked for extra green sauce on the side and this elevated the sandwich. Automatically added this place to my go-to bites when I'm in the are! read more

Went here since this is also from the owners of Mesiba. Cute small falafel spot on the UES. Short line when I came since it was right before Yom Kippur and they were closing early. I got the standard falafel with everything in it and it hit the spot. The falafel had a nice crunch and I liked the other pita filling accompaniments. Only thing that would have been nice would be a different seasoning or mixture to enhance flavor and make the falafel more unique. read more

Tamam Falafel is awesome! During my near week in SF I had three meals here. Five stars on yelp for good reason. Fresh ingredients. It is all vegan. The meals here are healthy, tasty, affordable, and reasonably priced. For bowls you choose falafel, eggplant or cauliflower. It comes with warm chickpeas, quinoa, romaine lettuce, chopped cucumber, tomato, red cabbage, Israeli salad, pickles, and tahini. You can also get a side of pita or whole pita on the side. Expect a long line onto the street during pick lunch times. I wish they had a place like this in SF. Middle Eastern food is one of my favorite vegan cuisines up there with Indian, Ethiopian and Japanese. Pro tip: If you like it spicy request a few hot peppers to accompany it. read more

I have to concur with the 95% of reviewers on here, this place makes a MEAN falafel pita sandwich! I'd like to preface by saying I'm the opposite of a vegan, love falafel sandwiches, and wasn't missing anything without having dairy-based ingredients included. To start off, the pita bread itself was very fresh, a lot of places overlook this ingredient and you get a dry sandwich that's falling apart everywhere. All of the ingredients looked and tasted great, and they layered the falafel and ingredients so you aren't chasing bites around looking for the falafel or have none for the second half. Plenty of seating outside of the restaurant especially for a takeout spot. The girl forgot to make it spicy would be my only complaint, however it was still fire so really can't complain! read more

I got the falafel platter as well, and while it's not a bad falafel, it's just alright in my opinion. Also, they only give you 6 falafel, so I would stick with the eggplant which is 2 huge slices and taste better too. read more

Just highlighting a casual but underrated gem that one of my foodie friends introduced to me. I've been getting really into Mediterranean food and this offers affordable, generous portions that are heart and belly-filling. They're quick on preparing your food and they really deliver in taste. Efficiency, taste, cost= a triple win.... I love that they have so many different options to customize your order, and the ingredients are always fresh. The eggplant sabich platter is so delicious. They have the crispy texture down right. I will be back soon! read more

Absolutely delicious fast casual falafel joint! A true highlight of my recent visit to NY. Quick, efficient, absolutely scrumptious.

Great food. Huge portions. We got the falafel platter and sandwich. Walking distance from the Met.

There are a few indoor and outdoor dining tables. I ordered the falafel platter which comes out to a little over $16 but the portion size of it is definitely enough for 1.5-2x. They loaded it up with all fresh ingredients in a very artsy style. The falafel had a wonderful crunch although could use more flavor and could be more moist. The pita was warm and incredibly soft! The hummus was creamy to perfection. Overall, I am glad I came to try it and impressed with the serving size but wasn't blown away from the flavor profile. read more

Super cute fast casual vegan Mediterranean spot on Lexington. Stopped in here for and affordable (for the Upper East Side) lunch after the Met, and it was just what I needed! We tried a number of things and they were all tasty: falafel hummus bowl, falafel platter, and Sabich (eggplant) salad. Next time I'll ask for hot sauce, and am excited to try the cauliflower shawarma. Everything is made to order, so while it takes a tad longer - everything was fresh and the pita was warm. They have two outside tables along Lexington that are socially distanced, but keep in mind that it's a busy street. read more

The falafel pita sandwich was huge. Inside the pita was Israeli salad, falafel, tahini, red cabbage and more. No skimping anywhere on the portions which was excellent, and I'm glad it was inside a paper because the pita was overflowing. The flavors were good, if not a little mild, but was really impressive was the freshness and taste of the chopped veggies inside, which were cool and redesigning compared to the hot falafel. The staff at the register and assembling the food were kind, paid attention to the things I left out, and quickly got me my food. read more

I've eaten falafels at nearly every falafel spot in the city and across the world. -The options to get a cauliflower or eggplant sandwich as an option instead of just being restricted to falafel balls. I actually got a free sample of a ball which was scrumptious. It wasn't as greasy as falafel balls can be which I appreciated. You have the option of a plate, sandwich or bowl. I got a pita sandwich with cauliflower (the fixings are the same for each sandwich). -The Amba sauce: not too sweet with the right amount of acidity -the cauliflower was good, and the seasoning wasn't overpowering - The variety of fixings inside were well-distributed in the sandwich and plenty (cabbage, Israeli salad, etc). The interiors are quite nice for a fast food type place. read more

So good! We get the falafel pita and the sabich pita. Both are so amazing! They are filled with yummy and flavorful ingredients. Our go-to lunch in the park. read more

Good food! Falafels very crunchy and tasty. Pita was also very warm, soft, and delicious. Can't speak to authenticity, but hummus also creamy and delicious. I got a plate with grilled cauliflower. It was drizzled with some olive oil. It was very well prepared and a nice charred flavor. Seating is very limited. You have to sit right next to other people. There are only 2-3 small tables at the window and they're right up against each other. Takeout would be the best bet. They play music VERY loudly also. I would've preferred to do take out. I recommend the food for the taste. Not exactly somewhere I'd want to spend more than 10 mins in though. read more

Why is everyone obsessed with this place?!! To be fair, middle eastern food is not my favorite cuisine so I might be biased here but my falafels were dry. I don't like vegetarian food as I am a meat eater and the price points are too steep. ( I will say the portions are quite large.) They have no inside seating and need enhanced our door dining options read more

Tamam has a simple menu with tasty vegan/vegetarian items in huge portions. Staff was very friendly and quick to help me when I walked in (I had ordered ahead). Food was very nicely packaged and fresh. We ordered the cauliflower pita and the eggplant platter. The platter is definitely large enough for more than 1 person to eat as a meal, and it comes with hummus and a piece of pita). The pita entree is closer to a regular portion meal and held together nicely while being eaten. Both entrees were very tasty and didn't feel like a vegetarian meal. The eggplant was very nicely roasted and seasoned without being too squishy inside. The side of Israeli salad in the platter dish was my personal highlight. read more

Coming to New York, we had been searching for a great falafel place and we just happened to pass by this place while walking and wow what a treat! They have a lot of mixing options with platters, bowls, pita with falafel, etc. We ordered the falafel platter and side cauliflower. They were so good! Great flavors and the falafel was perfectly cooked- not overcooked or mushy. I honestly was stuffed after eating the falafel bowl, they actually give yu enough falafel and a god amount of hummus, and condiments on top. If you want a filling dish, this is the way to go. The side cauliflower just topped off a really nicely balanced dish full of flavor, protein, and veggies. The ambience is really nice, it has an open space and an outdoor seating area if you are hanging out with people. The service is really great too. The prices are a bit higher ($14 for the platter) but atleast the food was delicious. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a quick, casual fulfilling meal! read more

I'm not Vegan and I thought the food was amazing. I had a hard time understanding what the woman behind the counter was asking me but we figured it out. The falafel pita sandwich was amazing. The pita was handcrafted, fluffy, soft, and perfectly cooked. The falafel was seasoned well, with a subtle kick, moist, and had a yummy penetrable crunchy exterior. The spicy sauce was great and definitely had a kick. All of the add ons that come with the sandwich were perfect. I would absolutely come here again. They even accommodated our large party, though there weren't seats left for any other guests. Fast service and dining, perfect for a time crunch when you need to catch the subway and don't have time to sit and dine. I believe there are about 9 or 10 seats total inside. There is also a cute market next store that patrons can visit to help stay warm during the winter season. If you like falafel you should definitely try this place. read more
