I came here twice during my stay in New York as it was right across the street from my hotel and was convenient, well priced, healthy but flavorful. I got a bowl each time and tried the chicken shwarama, the cauliflower and the roasted eggplant. All three were seasoned well but the cauliflower was my favorite hands down. It was nice and crispy crunchy but tender and had the perfect spice on it. Everything tasted very fresh and all of the toppings on offer and great and quite the variety and the tahini and zoug sauces I tried were exceptional. Like the concept of this place, in a sort of market where you can order at different counters and share tables with others. Very good!

This is the only place that makes eating healthy taste so good. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and it did not disappointed. The chicken was juicy and flavorful and all the toppings were fresh. Harissa sauce added a nice spice. Also the crispy shallots are a must.

I thought this was really great Mediterranean fast food. Taim reminded me of Cava on the West Coast. The location at the airport has ipad smart screens where you can order everything you want in your Pita wrap or your bowl. They have a lot of really great sauces to mix in and I found the food to be delicious!

This place is located in Jacx&Co. I chose the falafel as it states it is the best seller. It was really good. I loved how it was flavorful and fresh. I would order this again.

Post-gym bites Chicken Shawarma pita from Taim. I loved how we can add anything and customize it to however we want. They were very generous with hummus. Next time I'll ask them for extra protein. Very well seasoned & they provide generous portion of ingredients. Definitely recommend.

Overall a good healthy option for lunch. It's like a cava (which is like a chipotle) except you say your order, pay, and then get the bowl after a while, rather than them "building your bowl" in front of you. It might not be the quickest if you come during lunch rush (there are a lot of pick up orders!), and my salad bowl ended up costing $20 because I got half chicken ($13.75) half steak (+$4) :sob: if you get a regular bowl with rice I'm sure it'd be SUPER filling. I wouldn't actually recommend the chicken shawarma, it tasted more like curry chicken? I also didn't love the steak harissa, BUT im a sucker for all the hummus and sauces. You can also choose up to 8 toppings so you know I chose exactly 8 toppings. Service was pretty quick and friendly though. Located inside the food court right in the back. Restroom has a code that's on the receipt. Nice space to chill as well.

This was my first time at this chain. We have something similar here int he Bay Area called SAJJ. For lack of a better word, it is basically Chipotle with a Mediterranean theme. I chose to build my own bowl. The base was romaine and hummus. The lettuce was fresh and the hummus had a nice garlic taste to it. The falafel was excellent. The green falafel was perfectly fried and had a great herby taste to it and the harissa falafel was nicely spicy and was an interesting counter to the green. I went a bit nuts and added a bunch of toppers. It was an excellent bowl. The service was fast and on point.

This was my first time trying taim, and it was delicious! Very flavorful, lots of healthy options, generous portions and customizable. I got the chicken shawarma bowl with rice and customized it with many of the included topping options. I also tried their saffron aioli which was so flavorful and delicious. Only gripe is I wish the chicken was chopped up a bit smaller as their were some huge pieces that were hard to eat. Also, first time at Jacx & co in LIC, and what a cool space. So many different seating options/arrangements and it wasn't crowded when we went. It also gives you the opportunity to try multiple places in the food hall.

This eatery is inside a food hall located in LIC. It's towards the back. I couldn't decide between this one and a different spot in the same food hall. I'm glad that I chose this one as it was healthy and filling at the same time. I even shared with someone because the meal looked like it would be too much for one sitting. I ended up making my own bowl. It was huge at the end when it was done. I got the chicken Shawarma it is roasted with their house blend sauce. I don't recall how many toppings or sauces that I got, but it was maxed out for both. I didn't know if everything would mesh well together, but it did. I was impressed! I would most definitely order this again.
