Menu
Zagat's reported that Taïm had 'sublime' falafel (deep-fried chickpea balls), rated "'best in NYC' – and maybe 'the USA'". The falafel comes in several flavors, such as green (parsley and cilantro), red (roasted red peppers), and spicy. Home-made harissa spices it up.{{cite magazine|last=Collins |first=Lauren |url=http://www.newyorker.com/arts/reviews/tables/2007/11/19/071119gota_GOAT_tables_collins |title=Taïm |magazine=The New Yorker |access-date=February 5, 2013}}{{cite news|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/eats/best-new-york-falafel-article-1.1099371 |title=The Best of New York: Falafel |author=Osterhout, Jacob E. |newspaper=NY Daily News |date=June 24, 2012 |access-date=February 5, 2013}}
The menu also includes homemade French fries to be dipped in saffron aioli, salad with lemon-mint dressing, and hot toasted pita brushed with olive oil and a mixture of sesame, salt, and the Palestinian herb za'atar (grown on a mountain near Jerusalem).{{cite web|url=http://guides.uptownmagazine.com/details/taim-new-york |title=Taïm - New York - Downtown Manhattan |publisher=uptownmagazine.com |access-date=February 5, 2013}}
