Tamam
A casual counter-service spot known for freshly made falafel and soft pita bread, serving generous portions of vegan Mediterranean dishes like eggplant and cauliflower sandwiches with various hummus bowls. The venue has limited indoor seating with a small outdoor area and is appreciated for quick service and reasonable prices given the Upper East Side location. While it was fully vegan for years, recent ownership changes have introduced meat options as of early 2026, altering its vegan status.
