The food here is great. Very well prepared, spices and flavors are very good and all blend well together. But that's where the 5 star part stops, and the 2 star part begins.When we first walked in the first thing that is impossible to not notice is the fact that your feet stick to the floor with every step. I thought maybe something had spilled. Maybe they dumped a tray of food or somebody spilled a soda. But it became pretty apparent that not only was the floor sticky but every table and countertop as well. I felt like I was in a toddler classroom.But even that could be overlooked. Had we not been met with one of the most passive aggressive cashiers i've ever met my life. I can only assume she was a manager or supervisor because she kept referring to the other employees as "My workers".Seeing as how we told her , it was our first time, she didn't seem to willing to give us a second to read the menu. Any question we had was met with "well it's right there" while pointing at the menu on the wall or if we asked about an ingredient it was "sooo, you DONT want that?" With attitude. We made it through our ordering and I thought maybe it was just us because we were new. But as we sat waiting for our food , I observed how she addressed multiple other customers and it was less than warm and fuzzy. I don't expect chick fil a quality customer service at every restaurant I go to, But this employee's lack of respect and overall tact caught me off guard a little bit.The rest of the employees all seemed very nice. very quiet and kept their head down while they were working. I can only imagine the atmosphere that the person that we encountered at the register, creates for the rest of the employeesAll in all the food was good but I won't be going back anytime soon. I'll give it a while and see if maybe they get someone new at register, which is the face of the company when you have new customers walking in.
Use to go to this place for an expensive cauliflower shawarma back in the day. It's a good chain with gold shawarama options. Not the best shawaram I have had by any means, but this place is very good for lunch you can get balanced bowl with correct macros. It's one of my go to

What I love about taim's food is the customizable nature of it. They have a wide variety of interesting mains and sides and I've tried them all. Everything tastes fresh and well-seasoned. It's a very healthy quick food option. I always order online and take it home - and I've never had a problem with my order not being ready when I arrived though once there was a small error in what was included which the manager apologized for when I mentioned it on my next visit.
The salads have crunch, all ingredients are super fresh, the sauces have zing, breads are soft n flavorful.By far, the best Mediterranean in the area. You will want to go back!Staff is friendly and flexible with changes.In-house seating space is limited.
We each got our own custom bowls. Love that you can pile a lot on versus only choose 2 for the add-ins. We got very different things and both bowls were excellent. Very fresh and tasty. The food came out super-fast. Good portions. Price was right. We ate in but it's probably more of a take-out place or sit outside in summer. There are not many tables inside and the ambiance is a little lacking (but that's okay for what it is). We'll definitely be back because we want to try everything!

Love going to Taïm. Food is delicious and they have Vegan options which is amazing. Keep up the awesome work and invest in a better ordering kiosk that actually recognizes the discount from our apps so the cashier doesn't have to take our order manually so we can apply discounts or rewards ?Dietary restrictions: They have Vegan, Vegetarian and regulat options.
Best Mediterranean fast food. We used to go to Taim in NYC (22nd St and West Village) whenever we had a craving for a good sabich but now it is much closer to home. Love it. Good vegetarian options. Regardless of the stores the staff are always helpful and friendly.
taïm is a Mediterranean restaurant located in the middle of the Princeton Shopping Center. The food is good, but the customer service is not great. The cashier that day was not helpful. The rice was also a bit mushy and my bowl was supposed to come with pita bread but the cashier stated it did not come with it when I later found out, it did. Overall, it is a good restaurant, but there are a few things that could be improved.

I am a foody and love to find great tasting meals. The OG Falafel Pita sandwich is amazing. There are 2-types of falafel that can be ordered, mild and spicy, and I chose to have a mix of both. The falafel is the best that I have ever had and the toppings (hummus, tahini sauce, assorted vegetables) are perfect. The nice thing is that it can be customized with a large selection choices, but I love it as is. I have been back for this sandwich 5-times since first tasting it. It is an addictive delight and I will be back for more.

The food here was amazing. Take it from an Israeli, the ingredients are so fresh and accurate, I loved it. The staff was friendly, but didn’t say much when we had questions. The atmosphere is very full and dreary, feels very lifeless.
Great food and selection of items. We will be back.
