Delicious fast food - Edit
We went for a late-ish lunch and it was quite quiet, which is lucky as there are only a few seats inside and maybe four tables outside. Service was fast, and the food was delicious. We tried some falafel, some cauliflower (both excellently seasoned and beautifully cooked), and a sabich in pita, which was flavoursome if a bit messy to eat. Portions were quite hearty and everything was great. It's close to the Met and Central Park, so it's a good option for tourists in the area.

Tasty falafel at a reasonable price - Edit
Considering it’s New York, this was one of the most affordable and delicious lunches I could find. Flavourful falafel and fresh veggies.

Almost a 5-star place with unique food - Edit
$19.06 for sabich platter with pita and a serving of pita chips. This place had potential to have 5 stars because, even though it was a little too oily, the food was balanced: grains, vegetables, proteins, different colors, etc. Also, the food was relatively unique: no comfort food, no burgers, no fries; just falafel, hummus, pita, etc. The amount of plastic and paper given ruined it for me, though. No reusable dishes, terrible plastic forks, no “take out or dine in?” question. All of this is the case, even though the amazing Le Botaniste is just a few blocks away. Maybe the few saved dollars are worth for someone, though, or maybe the Israeli cuisine makes it worth it.

The cauliflower pita was amazing! - Edit
Not a lot of space inside though, we had to wait a while until one of the tables freed up

Deliciously Diverse Options - Edit
A delicious, diverse set of all-vegan options offers more than just falafel and hummus in a sandwich or on a platter. We tried the falafel, eggplant, and cauliflower "shawarma" sandwiches and found them delicious. The side of hummus and crunchy pita chips was icing on a rich, filling cake. Three of us with these extras and a tip ate for less than $60 and came away well satisfied.

Super tasty falafel by central park - Edit
I could tell this place would be good by how popular it was, I got a falafel pita sandwich to go, but the vibes inside were super cool so I would be happy to eat inside too. Amazing selection of fresh veggies, creamy hummus and crisp, flavoursome falafel. You can’t beat it. A must try if you are near central park.
Read moreOption of having spicy sauce if wanted - it’s good!
Pros: Perfect falafel, Fresh, tasty ingredients, Portions

Best. Pita. Falafel. - Edit
As many others have said Tamam has theeeee best falafel sandwiches I’ve ever had. The pita is firm enough to hold the mounds of veggies and sauces but also soft enough to delight your taste buds. I get the sandwich with everything on it and light on the spicy sauce. For about $12 a sandwich it’s a pretty good size and keeps me satisfied.
Read morePros: All vegan, Super friendly staff, Pretty affordable
Cons: Too delicious

Amazing food - Edit
Friendly staff, amazing food, reasonably priced - what more can you ask for? Cauliflower and falafel were both amazing! If you are in Central Park, it's worth going here. Great coffee places around the area too.

The BEST falafel! - Edit
I’ve been to dozens of pita joints in Israel and several in NYC, and Tamam is by far the best I’ve ever had. The quality, freshness, and flavor of the ingredients are unmatched. You can tell Chef Eli and all the staff really care. Their 3 sauces are also unparalleled; their schug (herbaceous chili sauce) is so flavorful and nuanced, and their amba (tangy fermented mango sauce) is magical, turning anything it touches into pure gold.
Read morePros: Highest quality falafel and pita around, Affordable, Fully vegan

Great hummus and falafel - Edit
Inexpensive, high quality hummus and falafel. If you've been to Maoz, Taboonette, Hummus Place, or Hummus Kitchen and liked them, you will love Tamam. You can get your hummus as a bowl, as a pita sandwich, or as a platter. They have cauliflower and other veggies. Lots of gluten-free options, but no GF pita bread. They have another location in the Union Square area, which is also excellent.
Read moreThis is just steps from the 77th St. #6 train stop. It's on the Upper East Side near the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Museum Mile (the area with *many* other museums). Most museums are starting to have some vegan options in their cafes, but quality varies widely. Tamam could be a nice lunch spot in between a whole day in museums. It's also within walking distance of Central Park.
Pros: Excellent hummus and falafel, Gluten-free options, Extremely affordable
Cons: No gluten-free pita bread, Not sure which if any items are organic

Excellent falafel and authentic Israeli sparkling juices. Cauliflower shawarma is not as good as falafel. Fresh pita is delicious.
