"This West Village counter-serve makes crave-worthy falafel that should definitely be part of your weekly lunch repertoire if you work nearby."

Lonely Planet

"This tiny joint whips up some of the best falafel in the city."

Brian Hoffman

"These are definitely not your average falafel balls. They have a refined quality, which probably explains the smaller, more refined portions and slightly higher prices. But truth be told, these falafel are worth every single penny. And now that I’ve been eating as many chickpea fritters as possible, I can wholeheartedly agree with the rest of the city."

Chris Cockren

"Meaning ”highly pleasant to the taste, delicious” in Hebrew, Taïm is home to some of the best falafel in all of NYC."

Rob Patronite

"What does one look for in a falafel? To be cheap and filling, obviously. To be fried-to-order, naturally, crisp and greaseless, nutty and earthy and nicely spiced. Taïm, a bright and cheerful West Village falafel shack, takes the chickpea-croquette conceit even further, purveying three different flavors, best sampled in a mixed platter with tahini-dappled hummus, tabbouleh, and Israeli salad. Taïm means tasty in Hebrew, and these specimens are."

Roadfood

"Though we’re not the first to proclaim that Taïm serves the best falafel in New York City, we can effortlessly declare that this woefully small café in the West Village makes some of the best falafel we’ve eaten in the United States."

AMA Traveller

"The search for the yummiest Falafel Sandwich in New York! Mission accomplished! I can say I had the most DELICIOUS Falafel Sandwich ever in my life!"

Layla Khoury-Hanold

"If you haven’t had the pleasure of tasting Taïm falafel, you are in for a real treat. But prepare to be hooked."
