    Very warm inviting place to eat. Homemade Juices are fresh and tasty. I recommend the smashburgers and the hot chicken sandwiches. Fries are good also. I might very well become a regular customer

    Phenomenal food -- fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! I tried the garlic shawarma and my boyfriend got the steak shawarma -- both were incredible. We also ordered the halloumi cheese sticks, which were amazing. We came in about 15 minutes before closing, and the person at the register was so kind and welcoming -- took our orders with a smile and made us feel genuinely appreciated. The food was still fresh and perfectly prepared, even at closing time. Finally, a good shawarma place on the block! I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend this spot -- a must-try! So excited to have them here, and wishing them lots of success!

    Garlic shawarma, halloumi cheese on the bottom plate and steak shawarma, zaatar fries on the top plate.

    This restaurant has been one of our favorite lunch spots ever since it first opened, and over the…read moreyears we've also enjoyed dinner here from time to time. Today I happened to be in the area and stopped in for their prix-fixe lunch in the early afternoon, dining by myself. It was, once again, a very pleasant experience. They begin the meal with complimentary warm pita bread served with two spreads, a simple but welcoming start. I ordered the grilled octopus and the branzino, and finished with Greek yogurt for dessert. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and nicely executed. What truly sets this restaurant apart, beyond the beautiful interior and relaxed ambiance, is the warmth of the staff. As soon as I walked in, Stephanie greeted me with a genuine smile and a warm welcome. She has a natural way of making guests feel comfortable right away. My server, Christian, was attentive, friendly, and professional, checking in regularly throughout the meal. In fact, the entire team is consistently courteous and attentive, which always makes dining here especially enjoyable. It was a lovely lunch, and I look forward to returning again whenever I'm in the area.

    I really wanted to enjoy our visit to Limani Grille, but our experience last night fell short. We…read morearrived at 7 PM to find the restaurant packed for Restaurant Week--something we hadn't expected. The first sign of trouble was the parking situation: we ended up nearly a five‑minute walk away in ten‑degree weather. This would have been the perfect night for valet service. On the positive side, our party of six was seated right away, and our server Josh was friendly and attentive. He let us know we could still order from the Restaurant Week prix fixe menu, which was a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the timing of the meal derailed the evening. Appetizers took about an hour to arrive, and our entrées didn't come out until another hour after that. By the time we finished eating it was 9:30 PM and we were one of the only diners left. Josh apologized and explained that they typically serve around 250 guests on a normal night, but this evening they had more than 350 diners, which clearly overwhelmed the kitchen. The food itself was good--fresh, flavorful, and well‑portioned--and the prix fixe menu offered solid value. Still, the extended delays made it hard to fully enjoy the meal. Overall, I'm torn. There were positives, but the pacing of the night left me unsure how I feel about returning to Limani Grille

    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.
