taim mediterranean kitchen - College Park - College Park, Maryland

A great add to College Park! Taim offers great Mediterranean food with a nice variety of options. I got a bowl with honey harissa steak and it was really good. The meat was a little chewy so I would have preferred smaller pieces. I got a couscous and salad base with pickles, feta, marinated tomatoes, garlic sauce, and some green sauce. It was really good and even better in warm pita. The ginger lemonade is pretty good but nothing special. The service is mostly non-interactive but they gave me a free refill. The atmosphere is very yellow and there’s a row of mirror wall that wraps around the seating area. This isn’t as good as UIUCs Shawarma Joint, but I still want to come back and try more!

This is my second time eating at Taim but my first time at the College Park, MD location.

And let me tell you, the food was as delicious as I remembered.

This go around, I had the opportunity to try their Honey Harissa Steak bowl. The steak was thoroughly marinated and paired well with their made from scratch hummus that the restaurant is known for.

Definitely order extra pita bread, because one piece is not enough

Hidden spot for anybody that loves Mediteranean food. Very tasty plenty of options. Fries are like the fries back home. They give you free pita with every bowl. Chicken is flavored and the sauces are great but be careful about how much sauce because by the end of it, the sauce overpowered my bowl. Plenty of healthy options and great flavor on everything. Check them out!

Great food, clean location and friendly staff. The ginger lemonade is delicious. Honey steak bowl was so good with all of the veggies. Parking is free for an hour in the garage across the street. Don’t forget to use the app for rewards and offers

Fast mediterranean concept - a new competitor to Cava in College Park. Portion size is excellent. Great amount of chicken which was delicious and well seasoned. Veggies were super fresh. Couscous base was a disappointment, as it wasn’t fully cooked and instead had a weird clumpy crunch. Go with the rice base. As for the restaurant itself, very basic layout with some seating. Employees could be more welcoming and enthusiastic especially in the first week of opening. Most were on their phones. With Taim being pricier than Cava, it’s all a matter of preference. Worth checking this place out to decide for yourself.

If I’m rating the quality and taste of the food, it’s an easy 5/5. I’m loyal to Cava, but the College Park location never fails to disappoint me so I satisfied my Mediterranean needs elsewhere. The leafy greens and couscous were excellent. Taste, texture, and everything else was perfect. The shawarma cauliflower was something I’ve never had before yet enjoyed a lot. Plenty of vegan/vegetarian options available, including the diverse array of sauces. I liked the tangy mango.

However, I didn’t like the restaurant format. It’s not like Cava or Chipotle where you order as you go and the employee adds food for you and you see the options. It’s all on a machine so you can’t actually see the food until they make it and give to you— a drawback in my opinion. Also, portions seemed smaller than Cava for a higher price. I might come back, or not. I could’ve eaten two of these bowls I got because they were so tasty. Yet, it wasn’t enough food for the price and the ordering process was not ideal.

Enjoyed this place a lot! I thought the portions were generous and the pita was tasty. Came here twice while in the area. The lemonade was delicious as well!

First off, the staff here went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed including cups of water and our missing garlic spread, which they brought out before we even knew it was missing. The food itself was fantastic. Cava has some serious competition. The selection of toppings and sauces made for a great meal, and the fries on their own were the star of the show! The baklava was just decent, but the rest of the meal certainly made up for it. Definitely would recommend this to anyone in the area!
