Founded in NYC’s West Village in 2005 by two-time Food Network Champion Chef Einat Admoni, Taim Mediterranean Kitchen was built on authentic Israeli street food recipes. What started as a tiny storefront has grown into a beloved brand redefining Mediterranean cuisine in America.

Taim honors traditional Mediterranean cooking techniques with recipes passed down through generations, and every dish is prepared daily using market-fresh ingredients. The brand is known for its customizable offerings which cater to a wide range of dietary preferences and needs, ensuring there is something for everyone.

TAIM means "tasty" in Hebrew.
