In Short
At this popular kosher Israeli spot, falafel fanatics choose from three varieties: green (traditional style), roasted red pepper and spicy harissa. A mixed platter offers tastes of all three. A spread and salad combo is available with fresh fixings like Moroccan carrots or beets, and fries come with saffron aioli for dipping. Though it's tempting to linger in the sunny space, there are only a handful of stools for seating.

My friends and I were obsessed with falafel in college, and we've been desperately searching for a place as good as our university spot. It's been three years and I still hadn't found anything nearly as good until Taim. It's amazing! Servings are a great size and while the space is super tiny, everyone is so happy to eat that it promotes a rare friendly comraderie for New Yorkers. The traditional falafel is wonderful and the hummus doesn't overpower in the sandwich. The french fries are hot, greasy, and salty just the way I like and the saffron aoli is addictive. I'm sure I'll be there all the time this summer!

i admit the falafel is tasty and the salads are fresh...but sometimes the staff gives attitude like "we know our falafel is good". and it's good, but not THAT good.

Taim has really great falafels and hummus and the portions are quite generous. Their salads are great (and varied) and they have french fries when you feel the need for some grease (b/c the falafels are greasy at all). The pitas are very good and so are the prices! The staff is really nice. There really isn't a lot of room to sit, or wait for a to go order, but when it's nice out, there are seats outside. I haven't had their smoothies, but my friend was pretty happy with hers.
