Taim Mediterranean Kitchen

Great falafel, fun atmosphere, good job, would expect this place to be packed if they knew how good this is

Stopped here out of the blue earlier for a mid afternoon lunch. I originally had wanted to eat at Kramer's across the street, but it was packed in there and I wasn't planning on waiting for a table. Taim was more "tame" in comparison and more my speed for a place to eat peacefully and read a book. Their menu is pretty straightforward. You pick a base, a protein and then you can choose your toppings with a sauce. I got a super green plate with chicken shawarma, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, picked onions, and picked radish with a topping of harissa (server recommended it if you like spice) and tahini sauce. This also comes with a pita on the side. It didn't take long before my plate came out. It was almost $15 which is a bit pricier for a salad bowl, but the bowl was very filling and much larger than I expected. The food was fresh and all the ingredients blended well together. My only drawback is they didn't have a napkin dispensers on the floor, so I had to ask for napkins and a lot of the tables had crumbs on it. Granted, one of the workers cleaned the tables after I pointed out there being crumbs at the table I wanted to sit at. The store was pretty empty when I walked in, so not sure if maybe there was a rush beforehand, but beside that, good food and I'd recommend.

A once-great DC chain that has severely declined in quality. I went here recently with three friends for a weeknight dinner and had massive difficulty ordering with the cashier due to communication challenges. I got the chicken shawarma bowl and was very disappointed. For over $17 with tax, the portion size was small, there was barely any chicken, and the extra spicy sauce that I got had no kick. Additionally, the half pita that came with the bowl was in plastic and ice-cold; I remember when Taim first opened the pitas were hot, fresh, and topped with za'atar.Taim used to be the gold standard for Mediterranean fast-casual chains in DC. It's sad that it is now just an overpriced, lesser Cava or Mezze.

Took take out of their Falafel bowl and it was yummy. The sauce tasted good and it was worth the price.

We were visiting the ATT store and happened upon Taim. I'm a huge fan of Mediterranean food, so we decided to stop in. I highly recommend the Ginger Mint Lemonade it was sweet and refreshing. I love the options here. You can pick the ingredients for your bowl, pita, or salad. First, you pick a base, I chose hummus and Jasmine rice, then a main ingredient. Falafel was my choice. Then add veggies. I chose the red pepper baba ganoush for a side. It was a dollar extra, but worth it. I do wish they would provide pita bread with the meal. I had a lot of hummus and baba ganoush left and nothing to eat it with.

I ordered the special of honey harissa steak bowl! This was my first time coming to Taim, and I really enjoyed the service! The staff were incredibly friendly - much friendlier than I was expecting for ordering from kiosks. For that I'm giving them 4 stars :). As for the food, I ordered a takeaway after joining their membership rewards for 50% off, and I wasn't blown away, but it was decent mediterranean food. Definitely comparable to other mediterranean chains like cava. One thing that really disappointed me was the rice. I think they had given me the bottom of the rice cooker because it was crunchy and dehydrated ):. The honey steak though was really good. Will I go back? Maybe if I'm in the area, but not a place I'm dying to return to.Seriously though, their smiles brought a smile to my face!!

I'm sorry but Cava WHO- taim has absolutely defied all my expectations for a fast-casual spot- I am a die hard protein enthusiast but the eggplant and the cauliflower are a must. this eggplant will turn you into an eggplant fan, it's the absolute perfect consistency. it's juicy while staying intact and avoiding a terrifying mush- the cauliflower is SO flavorful. it's decadently crispy without even a twinge of burn. It has even more flavor than the shwarma chicken as just a veggie! - the chicken is always ALWAYS a FAT portion. everywhere loves to skimp on quality ingredients but taim loads on the protein. it's always moist and tender.- I'm usually a greens base girl in all my bowls, but this hummus is worth the full base. i believe it is mixed with tahini because it has this amazing nutty taste. it's soooo smooth (no chickpea ick from a clump) and i eat it with a spoon alone. not too heavy of a base either to make you feel ill- the other toppings all taste so fresh. especially obsessed with the pickles onions, cucumbers, and banana peppers as they bring a sharp salty flavor into the cool savory hummus flavoring

My recent discovery of Taim has actually has me looking forward to going into the office!You can eat here multiple times a week (which I have done) and not get bored. The menu is about as long as a CVS receipt. There are sandwiches, pitas, salad or rice bowls. Don't like rice? There's couscous! Carnivores will love the chicken shawarma, honey harissa steak, or meatballs. Vegging out? There is cauliflower shawarma, meatballs, falafel, roasted eggplant, vegan kabobs. Toppings and dips are endless. Get them all!But especially get the toum which is a whipped garlic sauce that is so potent you may potentially scare away a future lover ... but honestly being at home, watching a rerun of Schitt's Creek with a giant bowl of falafel balanced on your lap is way better than any relationship. Did I mention that fresh cut fries are a topping as well?The touchscreen menus are a bit confusing and the bowls can get pretty pricey at $16 a pop but I'll blame #inflation and not Taim for that.So glad you are in my life

I tried to use the app to order food. None of the rewards work if you try to order online. As soon as i tried to apply them to my order they disappeared. It waa super disappointing. Chicken shawarma bowl was delicious. Love the toppings. They add a nice spin to the normal shawarma.I ordered to eggplant with tahini too but it was very oil and not crispy.

Falafel was over cooked. Over fried in oil that had a texture to it. No flavor whatsoever and for $14 for a plate had nothing to it. Wasn't seasoned. Don't waste your money
