Taim Mediterranean Kitchen has debuted its first-ever location in Chicago and the Midwest region, located at Craveworthy Kitchen in Hayden Hall on the second floor of 333 South Wabash Avenue.
Founded in 2005 by a two-time Food Network champion in New York City's West Village, taim is celebrated for its market-fresh produce, authentic herbs and spices and time-honored cooking techniques. With 13 locations across New York and Washington D.C., taim is known for delivering bold, made-from-scratch Mediterranean cuisine that has won multiple awards, including "Best Falafel" by The New Yorker.
"Introducing taim to the Windy City is a significant step in the Craveworthy journey to bring unique, global flavors to communities around the U.S. through innovative dining experiences," said Gregg Majewski, CEO and Founder of Craveworthy Brands.
Guests can now order from the Concept's menu featuring freshly made hummus, falafel, shawarma, mezze and an array of plates and pitas. Taim's offerings cater to a wide range of dietary preferences and needs, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options, ensuring there is something for everyone. It also offers catering with customizable packages for groups of all sizes.
"A key part of taim's mission is to slow down, nourish the body with healthy options and gather around the table to organically connect with one another. We're excited to finally be able to share this opportunity in our very own backyard," Majewski added.
Craveworthy Kitchen at Hayden Hall is a 25,000-square foot space with modern furnishings, comfortable seating areas and food court-style bays featuring a selection of Craveworthy's culinary concepts, including Krafted Smashburgers, Lucky Cat Poke Co., Pastizza Pizza + Pasta, Scramblin' Eds and The Budlong Southern Chicken. The innovative dining hall is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Nestled right in the heart of the vibrant South Loop neighborhood in the iconic "Big Red" skyscraper, this location offers convenience for students, professionals and tourists alike. Easily accessible by Chicago Transit Authority trains, it is surrounded by top-tier universities like DePaul and Roosevelt, bustling corporate offices and the City's renowned cultural landmarks, including the Art Institute, Grant Park and the Symphony Orchestra. Whether guests are grabbing a quick lunch between classes, taking a break from the office or exploring Chicago's entertainment district, each guest will find a variety of dining options to suit every taste.
