Ta-Eem Grill, Inc

Omgggggg there are no words for this place. I still cant Believe that the food that we just ate was Kosher. I have been Kosher for the past 20 years of my life and ever since i yet to find a place that actually can serve delicious food and actually call it kosher until NOW!!! Beyond delicious food, super flavorful every bite was so well made i still can’t believe it. My Entire family left, extremely happy and fulfilled with the portions. We had so much leftovers for the next day. Their dishes are large portions, and once again extremely delicious. I can’t believe I waited a whole month before I had the opportunity to go here but there’s nowhere else I will be going after this place. Everyone in my family was able to get something they loved from hamburgers to kabobs to Chinese food and way more. I promise you haven’t had real good kosher food till you try it HAVE FUN ENJOY!!

Absolutely an atrocity to call this place Ta-Eem. Honestly, HORRIBLE. The old Ta-Eem on Melrose was a god sent and one of my favorite places in LA, this place is trash. Half the portions, food is clearly made without love or fresh ingredients—the quality is what you would expect from a McDonalds (if that). We paid for an extra pita (you used to get two and now only one) and they forgot it. The chicken tastes like wet old feet. The hummus is glue. The Israeli salad is what you expect from a cruise buffet, the other two sides were almost nonexistent. The hot sauce is mayonnaise?! Not the beautiful hot sauce from before. I actually can’t believe how trash this place is, a raccoon wouldn’t even be happy. NEVER going here again and if you loved the old Ta-Eem continue grieving and let me know if you ever find a similar place. This is my hand for portion sizes…pathetic. $30 down the drain

All around terrible experience, from entering and ordering to the quality of food. The vibes were severely off as soon as I entered, no real menu for multiple customers to read off of. The beef kabob was barely cooked with pink still in the middle and prices were out of control for what you got - $20 after tax for meat between pita with NO vegetables inside? Absurd. My friend ordered a chicken shawarma and when the person at the register asked if he wanted any dipping sauces he said no which she thought translated to nothing in the sandwich?? How do you make a shawarma with only chicken and bread. Madness. Listeria shawarma. Two stars for the food because the chicken did have some flavor but it wasn’t a chicken shawarma that’s for sure. See the alleged shawarma in the picture and let me know if that’s an actual chicken shawarma….. .. a 20 DOLLAR chicken shawarma .. absolute madness. To note this business is no longer run by original Ta-Em business.

No longer Taeem. Taeem is now a menu at Kosher Madness (one of several). The shawarma is decent, the Yakisoba chicken bowl is good, though the $4 upcharge for yakisoba noodles over white rice is too high. The chicken dumplings were fried chicken pieces in a wanton wrapper - exactly as I described it. I'm not sure it's seasoned at all and the accompanying dipping sauce seemed very strange and added nothing of value. I would not get the dumplings again. I do look forward to trying other items on the menus, though.

Not sure where all the good reviews are coming from. I went here because of THE INFATUATION saying this is one of the best falafels in LA. No way. This place's name I believe translates to "tasty," but it's not. I ordered falafel with a side of fries. The falafel is dry, over fried and the bread is cold and chewy. The pita they are using tastes low quality. Man the fries. So sad. They were barely cooked, so I asked for them to be more well done. Came back the exact same. It's 2023, how hard is it to make a good french fry? Literally go to any other restaurant and figure out what fries are supposed to taste like. They were soggy and flavorless. I also asked for spicy sauce which had no flavor and was not spicy in the least. The inside of the place is really sad. There were boxes piled up, bulk ketchup bottles everywhere and the bathroom was dirty, like gas station dirty. The area above the kitchen was covered in dust. You know that is falling into the food. To tell you how little they care, their own sign outside is missing letters! Come on. I feel badly writing this, because it seems to be a family business, but this is LA, there are lots of choices of where to eat and I hope they can take this criticism constructively and improve. Speaking of Ta-em, you should do yourself a favor and go to "TAIM" in NYC or DC the next time you're there. This place is amazing. Israeli owned and how falafel should taste. Flavor!
