I tried Taim in Park Slope and was super impressed. Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavor -- you can really tell they use quality ingredients. I had a mix of different things and honestly, there wasn't a single bite I didn't love. Portion sizes were great too -- definitely enough to fill you up without feeling stuffed. The whole vibe of the place is chill and welcoming, and the food really speaks for itself. If you're into Mediterranean food (or even if you're not yet), definitely check this place out. I'll 100% be back! read more

Placed an order to pick up online through their app. The app was very easy and clear to use. Ordered a side of falafel with tahini sauce. Not only were the falafel burnt, there was no tahini sauce. I am glad I also got a chicken shawarma bowl with lots of hummus because those falafels were dry! The rest of the food was good. I really liked the couscos and the marinated beets. I was just upset I paid $5 for 8 small balls of burnt and dry falafel with no sauce. Make sure you check your order before you leave the store. read more

Dang what a bummer. I haven't been to taim since going to the Waverly location more than a decade ago but it still ranks as one of my favorite meals in NYC, so when we moved to Brooklyn I was excited to there was a location near me in Park Slope. Sadly it's a pale imitation of what it was. The falafels aren't freshly fried and now taste nearly indistinguishable from each other. The once spicy, herbaceous s'rug lacks its previous spark. It's not terrible, it's just fine--another bland Mediterranean fast food place. I'd probably give it 3 stars if I hadn't almost choked on a very sharp bone in my shawarma pita, but even if I hadn't injured myself eating here, there's simply no reason to go back, given the other options in the area. read more

Rainy day in Brooklyn and my son suggested a take out from Taim. Our orders were - 3 chicken shawarma plates and one side order of couscous. The plate was extremely satisfying both by size (next time it could be split for 2 persons easily) and by rice with chicken, feta and veggies. Next time we are visiting Brooklyn Taim will be on my special takeout list. read more

Been coming here every few months for a few years, sometimes more, but everytime it's different. When good the food can be great but after the relaunch it's a bit of roulette. For example today my "plate" was very light on greens and way to heavy on sauce but most disappointingly was served in the dreaded black plastic of low end nyc takeout. I didn't think I'd care much but really put a damper on trying to eat a healthy meal out of hot black plastic instead of the usual pressed paper plates. Not even sure how that happened, is it just this one Brooklyn spot that freelanced and bought random containers? Or is the whole chain changing to more plastic, either way it's the wrong direction. I will say the staff is always great and working hard and I always tip. It's hard work, just tough looking forward to a meal and never quite knowing if it's gonna be good or disappointing. read more

So I went to taim for the first time today. (Full Disclosure: It is one of Delta's Skymiles Dining partners and I went solely for the miles.) I was going to the Savage! Comedy show at Logan's Run and was presented with this as a good pre show spot. You can find it on Park Slope's busy 5th Ave corridor where everything has outdoor seating, even the post office - ya know? The place was busy with delivery people and a handful of customers waiting for orders. Touchscreens are available at the counter for guests which is super convenient for everyone because - customization. The space is cozy with bench seating opposite the order counter, cookout-style tables in the middle and high chair seating against the window and wall. Cafe-style seating is also available outdoors. I waited 20 minutes for a green-harissa falafel bowl with a base of couscous and super greens, crunchy shallots, and other additions. What I got was the falafel, other additions, and WHITE RICE. No couscous, super greens or shallots. I'm not bothered at all by the wait. I literally went at clang-clang dinner time in a busy area. But it was like - ugh!!! - ya know? I told them right away and also told them I was going to go ahead and continue eating cuz I was running late but just in case someone else got MY order. While waiting, I sipped on a free Ginger-Mint Lemonade, courtesy of my Yelp Check-in. Any Yelp user can do this BTW. You don't have to be an Elite. Back to my bowl, it was delicious! The falafels were tasty - more herbal than spicy; slightly larger than pinballs, not too dense, and had a good KA-runch! The hummus was smooth and creamy and the flavor was well-balanced. I also added spicy chickpeas, red pepper baba ganoush, cucumber, and harissa sauce. All the vegetables were crisp and fresh. The lemonade wasn't too sweet. It actually wasn't much of anything. I could barely taste any mint and if it weren't for ginger in the name I wouldn't have known it was there. This appears to be a local favorite, so maybe they were having an off night? They did appear to be overwhelmed. Taking points off because of the missing ingredients and the bland lemonade. I'm not entirely turned off, but it'll be a while before I consider this place again. read more

Im gonna be honest,you put a bunch of stuff in a bowl and im down! Poke Bowls are life. So I see the bowls that Taim makes on Yelp and Im like I gotta get me mitts on one of those bad boys! And so on a bright,brisk autumn day in NY I did just that. Ordered the Chicken Shawarma bowl and I was blown away! So good. I had it with the aforementioned Chicken,rice,Hummus,olives,Harissa,slivered almonds,I dont know there was other stuff in it too but I was shoveling it in so fast I lost track! Loved the contrazst of hot and cold foods,spicy and salty. Just a beautiful mix of tastes and textures. I am going to be ordering again soon especially since I forgfot to order a piece of Baklava for dessert. read more

I was craving chicken shawarma. I've been craving it since I quit managing this shawarma place, that in my opinion had some delicious shawarma. First time I had them for delivery. But once I learned delivery is like $10 dollar more than pick up. I stop being lazy. It's a small place on 7th ave. If you're not paying attention you'll miss it. They have a few seats for dine in. But it's more of a take out feel. The customer service is excellent. I'm always greeted as soon as I walk in. You place your own order through the kiosk at the counter. They are pretty quick about getting your food out. The food is delicious. I always get the bowl, half hummus, half romaine, chicken, cucumbers, tomatoes, pickled onions, tahini, whipped garlic sauce and harissa. It comes with a pita. They give a ton of free toppings and premium ones for an additional fee. Great place for vegan/vegetarian. As they have falafel, eggplant, Brussels sprout shawarma and impossible kebab as main proteins. They even have a harissa falafel which my boyfriend loves. I have a few gripes. First one is the chicken isn't cooked on a spit like traditional shawarma. It's missing those crispy bits and added layer of flavor you get from cooking on a spit. Second the harissa isn't hot enough. The falafel are smaller than I'm used to. The whipped garlic sauce isn't garlicky enough. The tomatoes are too big. The cut cherry tomatoes in half. They would benefit better from dicing a tomato they way they do the cucumber. They don't properly drain the liquid that accumulates from the cucumber and tomato. Occasionally I'm left with a mini pool at the bottom. Also they don't give enough romaine. All in all it's a solid spot. That's consistent and they offer rewards through their app. So far I've had an entree for $50% off and buy one get one free entree and I've only had the app for about 2 weeks. read more

I am only giving two stars because of the service; the person who took our order was nice. However if you want Mediterranean fast food or any time of Mediterranean food, do not come here. I got the shawarma bowl and it was 3 out of 10-- it doesn't taste like the chef is from the Mediterranean or knows what the food is. The food is okay you can eat it but there is nothing Mediterranean about it.. I can make it at home read more

Constantly a problem. Bad service. Worse food. I don't know how this place is still open. read more

Taim is a great addition to Park Slope, a local chain that provides high quality fast casual dining AND a Mediterranean menu that this neighborhood has been deprived of for too long. Their prices are average but their portions are pretty generous and I can easily get two meals out of one bowl if I'm not starving. I'm a fan of their chicken and hummus, not to mention that garlic sauce that makes me think of California's Zankou Chicken. I've only ever taken out from here but whenever I go to pick up the staff is always super nice and friendly. A great rotation option for all the newly work from home folks! read more

Taim is a great and welcome addition to the Park Slope area. I had been anxiously awaiting its opening, and have definitely worked it into my regular routine--if I go more than a few weeks without, I'll definitely crave it. I love the customizability of the sandwiches or bowls--my go-tos are either the falafel or Cauliflower shawarma bowls. The mix of green and harissa falafel is perfect for me--.just the right amount of heat without being overwhelming (as I've experienced with all harissa falafel at other locations). What really makes the bowls work so well for me is the inspired topping selection--bowl base of creamy hummus, turmeric pearl couscous, toasted cumin rice or romaine lettuce. Addition topping options include Pickles, olives, zaatar croutons, seasoned chickpeas, toasted almonds...it provides for a tart, spicy, complex and filling meal--it's a good-sized bowl, often good for more than one meal, depending upon how hungry I am... and how many of their quality sides I wind up buying. Speaking of.... Despite the praise I had heard, I was skeptical of their fries, but they are surprisingly good as well, with either saffron aioli or harissa ketchup.  The labne was a tasty side as well. About my only disappointment here was the lentil harissa soup, kind of small and also surprisingly bland. But there are plenty of excellent options. Can get crowded, but service is fast as possible, friendly and efficient--great value for a to-go Slope meal! read more

The food itself is good, but every order I get from here is incorrect. You customize what you want on the app, it's all really straight forward on there, and then you show up and pick up your order and what's in there is just whatever they felt like putting into the bowl for you. It's like your choices are just suggestions to them, and then they do whatever they want--omitting certain items, adding others you didn't want, and giving you how much or how little falafel they feel like giving you (4 falafel one day, 8 falafel another day, etc.). That's the only thing that keeps me hesitant from ordering from here too often. It's a very frustrating thing to experience. This could be such a good place if not for this aspect. read more

The humus, beets, chicken shawarma, and falafel are consistently great, fresh. I must admit that I wish they would put the original babaganoush (without red pepper) back on the menu because I prefer it to the red pepper babaganoush. But that's just my personal preference. read more

The bowl tastes as good as it looks. The best part is... It's healthy! The hummus is creamy and absolutely delicious. All the ingredients tasted quite freshly chopped. The falafel is good too. I will come back to try the chicken another time. I enjoyed the toasted almonds and fried shallot toppings a lot. It goes very well together with everything. I got to try all five sauces. My favorite sauces were the spicy ones, which are the red one and green one. The other three sauces didn't really impress me though. read more

Walked in at 7:45 and was told we couldn't order cause they were closed despite their Website, yelp, and Google stating they are open till 10. Felt extremely unwelcoming. Would love to try the food..but not sure when they close read more

Ordered a bowl with the cumin rice, Moroccan carrots, picked onions, and roasted chicken, and WOW. The bowl itself is beautiful, colorful, and looks absolutely fresh. And it tastes just the same. Next time, I will definitely try the hummus, and will probably get this exact same order because it was just soooo good. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the rice? SO FLUFFY. Great meal when you're on the go, but also perfect for a well balanced meal too. read more

Taim is actually my favorite place for fast casual middle eastern inspired food. For $15 bucks its a pretty good deal and they serve up some of the best tasting beyond meat vegan options Ive had. I came to find out they are a fairly prolific chain so you can find Taims all over NYC. I usually get half couscous half salad bowl with beyond meat kebabs and all the free fixins. It really hits the spot. Ive had a hit or miss experience with their delivery. Sometimes its great and other times its like "who the fuck made this bowl" because the portions are so off or they forget something. read more

Based on other reviews, I must have had a one off bad order. The salad with roast chicken was fine, but the sides I got were a disaster. Their "famous" fries came completely undercooked. Pale exterior like they were dipped in the frier, with hard, raw potato on the inside. Maybe that's how they are supposed to be? Can't imagine anyone enjoying these. The harissa ketchup was so thick you're unable to dip any cooked or uncooked fry into. The cauliflower was over cooked, mushy, and absolutely smothered in their shawarma sauce blend. So much sauce that you cannot taste anything else afterwards. read more

Taim is the gold standard of falafel in NYC. I can't even recall when I first had their food at their West Village location (I mean, I can since I wrote a Yelp review). Was super excited to hear they opened up a location in Park Slope, and judging by the lines and all the online orders, it seems like the entire neighborhood was excited too! They were definitely backlogged (I don't fault them as they're a new restaurant working out all the kinks). You order on one of the touch screens at the front, and there's ample waiting room inside (or you can just step outside if you want to social distance). They have a few bar seats, a big communal table, and then some smaller private tables against the wall. I got a chicken bowl, a green falafel bowl, the babaganoush with za'atar pita, roasted carrots, and fries. Be careful about the shifka peppers - they're similar to banana peppers are are HOT. They should warn you about that. I ordered the fries with both sauces, but only received one. Didn't get a receipt, so can't check if they charged me for both. The roasted carrots were cold, which I didn't expect. They had a nice tartness to them though. The bowls were great. Both the chicken and falafel were great. Good portion sizes as well. They ran out of couscous halfway into fulfilling my order (and told me it'd take half an hour for the next batch), so one of my bowls was all rice. Still good though. Will be back, hopefully when things die down! read more

Had high hopes for this place as I love Chummus and Falafel. It was okay, the falafel texture wasn't my fave as it was chewy instead of crispy on the outside. The Chummus texture was nice bit flavor was just okay- not as bad as Sabra but no match against Nish Nush's Chummus. They are also on seated which is nice to get some cash back. My girlfriend loved the Ginger Mint Lemonade drink and I LOVED the soft and fluffy pita. All in all wouldn't return but satisfied that I got to try it out as it was quite filling! read more

Taim in my neighborhood? Officially never leaving. We have forever been fans of this terrific chain and our first orders haven't disappointed. I do wish they still had the platters of yore, the very best option in the old days. Barring that, I recommend the falafel bowls with all the fixings and a mixed array of the mezze with lots of the extra fluffy pita. Heaven. I need to make one comment to the management: staff usage of masks was questionable to non-existent. Please: I know it sucks to wear a mask all day but right now, even if we are boosted, we are not immune. Please enforce proper mask usage. Glad it's a hit in Park Slope and will continue to be regular customers for years to come. read more

The food is great here! I get really excited about bowls with meat and sauce. I tried the falafels - delicious! They were darker brown than I'm used to which makes me think that they fry it for longer but it tasted really good to me chicken shawarma bowl - with pickled onions, lettuce, rice and the mango sauce - wow really impressed with this one! I would say though that they add as much pickled onions as their is rice and lettuce combined so it gives it a really acidic taste but overall the flavors are really interesting together and delicious Additionally the place is clean, easy to order, but really hot and the chairs aren't comfortable. They make do with what they have since they have small seating areas. But it was overall a cool experience. Glad I was here! read more

Stopped in for lunch on Sunday. There were a good amount of people picking up orders so they were decently busy. Convenient ordering method with either online ordering or the self-checkout/order monitor in store. I ordered the cauliflower shawarma bowl with cumin rice, hummus, shallots, and croutons. Also ordered a falafel pita and fries. The bowl was so filling and the ingredients were all great and worked well together with different combinations in each bite. The pita was great also. The fresh herbs in the s'rug sauce really brightens both dishes. The fries were made fresh. Not a fan of the saffron aioli at all. Would definitely be coming back here for a quick bite on the go. read more

Great food for the entire family. The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond getting my kids regular ketchup from a neighboring store and treating us to free baklava. The restaurant was clean and very kid friendly. We'll definitely be back. read more

YUM! I'm so glad I was invited by my partner to try this place because the bowls were delicious. All the ingredients tasted fresh, the lemonade was refreshing, and I am still craving that Falafel. We ordered take out from here for Valentine's day and I'm positive this meal would have rivaled any we had if we ate out. I'm excited to have this place on my delivery list and I likely will order from here again soon. read more

I used to eat here once a week, and now I don't think I'll come back. Since their closing and reopening, it's like a consultant, or franchise management, came in looking to maximize profits and just made everything worse. Over my last few visits the computer ordering kiosks are gone, the portion sizes are down (especially the +$1 add ons -- thumb size portions), the rice is skimpy, unfulfilling, and bland, the chicken was chewy and inedible. They're charging extra for pita, too where it used to be free. Given the skimpy portions and low quality of the ingredients I'll just spend my $20 elsewhere or haul my ass to the grocery store and cook for myself. Big miss in the changes here, Taim. You need to up the portions, and the quality of the ingredients. And bring back the ordering kiosks. read more

This was a really nice (and newish?) find in the Park Slope area! There's so much packed in each bowl - my coworker got the cauliflower which I think will get next time. You can choose 1-2 mains and many additives - rice, chickpeas, couscous etc. And it tastes so good! The pita is also super fresh and warm - definitely going to order from here again! read more

After placing my order and paid, they forgot to Prepare my order. We were waiting over 25 minutes for our order with a year and a half old boy who was running around. I checked with the cashier the status of my order and she said sorry we forgot to print the ticket. Finally we got the food. I was waiting to see if they will give us anything for the aggravation as most business's would and they didnt, I have asked if they think we should get anything and their answer was "excuse me, say it again????" Very disappointing read more

Love this place, some of the best Falafel you can get. I love their harissa, and will often get a side of it to go. This is my first time visiting the park slope location. I was near by and tried to place an orser online for pick up. In addition to the website ans ordering process being completely whack, they were missing ingredients. So i had to cancel my order and start over as they were out of tzasiiki according to the website. If they are out of an item, they will not process your order, you have to go back and edit. However when i went in, they had it. So after messing around with the online ordering, not being able to add side sauces and time issues and whatever else, i just said let me go there. To my horror, waiting for me in the store was the same damn ordering platform, just on a bigger screen. It took two employees to help me and i still ended up with the wrong side sauces. In addition, it is clear the ordering system is confusing and sucky. Very strange being face to face with a counter person and then having to struggle over a shitty interface to place an order. If i hadnt been there before, i would have just left out of frustration. I dont, it shouldnt be that hard to order a sandwich and a falafel bowl read more

I love Taim because I can at least pretend I'm being healthy, even when I order something fried. The food is fresh and tasty, and there are loads of options for free toppings. My only complaint is that I find the ordering kiosk difficult to use, but there's normally a person to help out. read more

I'm in the store now and the lead guy at the 'register' needs a lesson on wearing his mask over his nose. Oopsie! That said, a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Good flavors, good variety. Menu could be clearer as to exactly what comes default on what. It tries, but there are still some surprises for first time orders. (Such as: huh, I didn't expect tomatoes on this, it definitely wasnt listed.) The people behind the counter seem to be entirely allergic to customer communication, backs turned the entire time. And a system is needed for the backlog of un-picked-up bags - it's the wild west to find your food. Is yours next? Did someone else grab it? Are they working on it? Who knows. Looking forward to these bugs getting worked out and I expect it to be a regular in the pickup rotation read more

Taim makes my favorite falafel ever, and I'm happy to say this location is no exception. It's a new store so I imagine they'll need a bit of time to work out the kinks, and I'm honestly ok with that. For whatever it's worth my order was executed flawlessly. People whining about hiccups in a public forum during a shop's first week are the dregs, but I guess that's expected on Yelp. Ask for extra sauce and don't skip the fries. read more
