Amazing Falafel from a Truck!

Taim Mobile makes the best falafel I’ve had in the United States, hands down, and it could hold its own against the falafel I’ve had in Israel (a taste test is deserved, but would be a challenge). I had heard of Taim Mobile because it’s been written about in food blogs and won awards, and happened to stumble upon the truck in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They actually fry the falafel to order, so it’s just perfect. Not overdone, not cold - the perfect level of crispy chickpea goodness. It comes with hummus, Israeli salad, pickled cabbage and tahini sauce, but I recommend getting it “with everything” - then they will add pickles, s’rug (traditional Yemeni cilantro-garlic-chili spicy sauce) and amba (pickled mango-fenugreek chutney). It’s a wonderful sandwich at $5.75. Their ginger-mint-lemonade is refreshing and the rest of their drinks and smoothies sound great too (Brown Sugar Lemonade, Pomegranate Honey Iced Tea, smoothie flavors like Date-Lime-Banana and Strawberry-Raspberry-Thai Basil). You can see their location on twitter @taimmobile or check their schedule on their website, www.taimmobile.com

Currently, they seem to frequent midtown locations for lunch and Williamsburg and the High Line for dinner time.
