This restaurant is the Indian equivalent of Chipotle or Moe's. You choose a style (bowl, burrito, or taco), then customize your base, sauce, and toppings. If you're looking for an authentic Indian restaurant, then you may wish to eat elsewhere, but if you are open to a modern, customizable experience then you will likely be pleased. I'm a huge fan of lamb makhani and Naan-tastic's makhani sauce did not disappoint. The sauce was sweet, creamy, and delicious. The sauce is fairly mild, so if you prefer your Indian spicy I recommend topping it with some of their garlic chili sauce. The turmeric rice has a nice flavor. Next time, I would probably be interested in trying fries as a base. The makhani samosas were packed full of flavor. They are fairly big portions and do have a tiny bit of heat to them (as a warning for those who prefer milder spices). The samosas come with sides of the sweet tamarind sauce and the cilantro mint sauce. Both pair nicely and were full of flavor. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. They are very helpful at suggesting combinations if you find yourself overwhelmed by choices. I will definitely be returning. read more

I work on a college campus where you are held prisoner during the semester, because if you leave you can kiss your parking spot goodbye. But during March break week, my colleague and I had a sweet taste of parking-freedom and decided to use it to give Naan-Tastic a try. Sure glad we did! I ordered a build-your-own salad with the meatless chicken. I asked a couple times if the chicken was really vegetarian, just to be sure because it looked so meat-like. But the counter staff confirmed its meatless'ness. Man, was it some good meat'less meat! I'm not vegetarian, more a flexitarian, I usually eat meatless several days a week. And you could have fooled me here! The "chicken" was delicious, and all of my salad fixins were crispy and fresh. It was a good-sized salad. The sweet-heat sauce drizzled on top was the prefect way to round out all the tasty flavors. One thing I didn't try--the naan. :-( I LOVE naan, but my colleague and I are both tightening the belt heading into summer, so we kept each other accountable. No carbs this time, but during eating season, which starts again circa Halloween for me, I'll be back for you, you delicious looking naan! I had a fountain drink, and my bill came to just over $13. I fully enjoyed my lunch, so that seemed well worth it. When we get another parking-freedom-blitz, I'll be back. And I'll surely bring my husband and daughter to try this fantastic place eventually too. Maybe this isn't exactly traditional Indian food, but this was delicious food period. Bring on the naan! read more

Naan-Tastic - When you work at a college, you almost never leave for lunch because you can kiss your parking spot bye bye ... BUT NOT DURING BREAK! :-D - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

I've been to the Naan-Tastic in Rochester a few times and was eagerly awaiting the grand opening of their Buffalo location. Needless to say, it was amazing and even better than I remember. I got a chana masala rice bowl with kadai karma sauce and bunch of veggies. Sooo good. For less than $10, the portion was pretty hefty so I only ate half. Now I have another amazing, filling vegatarian lunch for tomorrow at $5 a meal. Naan-Tastic will be seeing a lot more of me. read more

Naan-Tastic - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

A vegan friend has been talking about the coming of Naan-Tastic for months. I was so excited when he informed me it was finally open, I headed out for dinner with my two daughters. The 7pm opening-day line stretched to the front door and folded back. We were about to change our minds and come back another time when an exiting patron told us the line moved quickly. We decided to give it a shot. It took us about half an hour to move up to the counter, but we used the time to familiarize ourselves with both the online menu and the in-store signs. We knew what we wanted when we got to the front. We went a little overboard, since there are so many vegan options and we wanted to try them all. Instead of making up our own assemblage, we decided to try two of the helpful suggested dishes - the Cobra (on a vegan naan taco) and two karma bowls, each with the chana masala (chick peas) as the protein. We also ordered vegetable samosas and the Punjabi mac. The food was fresh and tasty, though I had hoped the Cobra, described as being in a spicy vindaloo, was relatively mild. The fresh onions provide most of the flavor, and the ingredients were piled on high. My daughters both enjoyed the Karma bowls, and each saved half for lunch tomorrow. The samosas were very good, but they did not come with any sauces or garnishes. Had the ordering process been a bit more tranquil, perhaps I would have thought to ask for some. The mac, likewise, did not come with any sauce or garnish, and was quite bland. There were plenty of staff helping behind the counter, and though they were getting slammed, each went out of their way to greet us and make sure we were receiving everything we had ordered. It's great to have a casual fast-food style Indian restaurant just minutes away. Im looking forward to going back many times. read more

I had the pleasure of dining in here this afternoon and the food was spectacular. It's appropriately lit, colorful and cozy. The menu is extensive, almost too extensive. But I see why they offer so many options and it probably takes several visits to find out what you like. Like many fast casual restaurants this one is set up like a Chipotle. So I decided to stay traditional and go with a chicken masala combination. If I remember correctly, I got a naan-taco with French fries, chicken, masala sauce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheese and a white sauce. All of this was fantastic, but I'd recommend using a fork to start out. I would recommend this to friends, and I will be back. read more

Ok- people know I'm critical when it comes to food... First time here- and it was good! The gal behind the counter (who I didn't find out till later is the manager) should get a gold star and a raise! I was one of the 100s of dumb first times standing there with my mouth open...what do I do? Whatd I do? In 2 seconds flat young Miss had me ordering food like a champ! Now as for the food- I'm a big eater- but you can get 2 meals outta one of these bowls! My first bit and I said...omg this is salty! It took a couple bites to figure out if i mixed the contents around- the rice would balance things out and it did! I ate as much as I could then had to get a lid! I'd go back again! I don't mean this to be racist...the other tip off that it must be good- there were a lot of Indian people there too! read more

Naan-Tastic - Chicken something or other very good - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

I've never had Indian food before, and I can't tell if this was a good or bad place to start. The inside was cute and I loved the informative pictures on the wall describing different spices and the way in which they serve the human body. There's a good amount of seating too! The food was exhilarating - I mean this in the best way possible. Lots of flavor, never a boring bite. I got a bowl with turmeric rice and chicken tikka (with lots of sauce and vegetables on top, of course). There were some flavors I adored and others I could've done without - but overall I left full. I had a side of the garlic naan and it was delicious, it balanced the meal perfectly. My primary reason in giving this place 3 stars is the experience I had when ordering. I appreciate the build-your-own style of service they offered, however the staff seemed extremely stressed out and at the register, my friend and I felt really rushed. I appreciate being able to build my meal exactly how I'd like it, but when it's as hectic as it was tonight, it takes away from the joy of eating out. read more

Naan-Tastic - Paneer and chana masala in vindaloo sauce with copious coriander! - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

See all

Love this as a concept! Been here many times when I'm in the area and it's a stand out among the nearby restaurants. It's decently priced for what you're getting and you have the ability to create wildly different variations each time you go (or the exact same amazing dish every time, if you're like me). I recommend the vindaloo with chicken, light on basmati rice. The makhani samosas have a wonderful blend of sauces on them, but I also enjoy the paneer tiki, so it's hard to pick just one side. The naan is reasonable for the price but not the best I've ever had. However, if you get a side and a main plus a piece of naan that's easily two delicious meals, and everything I've had so far reheats well the next day. I could also see this being a great compromise when people are having a hard time agreeing on dishes to share. read more

A modern Indian restaurant with tasty foods in a newly constructed store with cool decoration. Their food had a good flavor, hot hot sauce is like suicide! Don't go for it! You can pick your ingredients and add to your bowl/naan/... although the price is reasonable for vegan, it's not a bad idea to try. read more

My food was really good, and I'll definitely come back to try out some different stuff.

Naan-Tastic - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

We ordered take out from here last night for the first time and it was super yummy! We ordered the college bowl and the samosa chaat bowl. The college bowl was lined with french fries and had all sorts of yumminess. I was impressed that in the samosa chaat bowl, the samosa was still crunchy! I think one of the reasons everything was so good was because it had lots of sauce on it. We also ordered the naan which was good. They are currently only doing takeout due to Covid. I ordered online which actually wasn't a great idea, I would have had my food quicker if I just ordered in line at the store. Also, the college bowl and the other specific bowls weren't an option online, I had to put it in special instructions. I would definitely order in store next time. There were only a few staff, they were working really hard, but they just didn't have a good system. I felt bad for the staff, because people were waiting around, but it really wasn't their fault. I think a manager needs to step up and figure out their system. We'll definitely be back for the food! read more

Loved it. The service was great and speedy. We ordered two adult bowls and a kid bowl. Everyone was happy with the food and the atmosphere.

Came here for lunch in the middle of the week. They weren't busy so it was fast service. This is kind of like chipotle but Indian style. You come in, pick a base, pick a protein then toppings. They also have naans on the side which was really good. We also got the samosas bowl but I wouldn't really recommend that. Overall 4.5 stars read more

This place was REALLY awesome. I always enjoy trying new things so when we had a lunch break in the middle of Tonawanda, this was the choice! It's got a really cool interior and lots of seating. The staff was super kind and the food was delicious. You basically start off with choosing a roll, bowl or with fries, pick your protein, choose delicious sauces and toppings. I chose a red tomato sauce with my chicken wrap and it was DELICIOUS. The only reason I bumped it down a star was because I thought it was a bit pricey for the size of the wrap (as you can see). We paid $20 for both and we didn't order any extras or drinks. If you're in the mood to try some different flavors rather than your typical five guys or chipotle, give these guys a try! read more

I returned to try the rice bowl with fish . The food was delicious huge piece of fish was offered .

I'm from Niagara County and this place is worth the drive . read more

This place has gone downhill! Portion size is reduced and less toppings on your entree. The last time I went there they forgot the chicken! The samosa chaat was my favorite but now it's one samosa with a ton of chickpeas. So disappointed! read more

I was very skeptical when I saw this restaurant because the concept didn't appeal to me. But oh boy! I was so WRONG! I went in there one fine afternoon just to try out and I took a bowl. I took the turmeric rice with fries, chicken tikka, lathered it with makhani sauce(this is to die for) and had corn, cranberries, cilantro, onions, sev and a lot of tamarind sauce. The flavours work perfectly. It makes up for a perfect bite. I loved it. The amount is great! This combination for me worked and I stuck to it for all the other times I ordered and I have never been disappointed everrrr. The tang, the sweetness of the makhani sauce is divine. I keep craving for this bowl with all its deliciousness all the time. I stand converted. And I highly recommend this combination for anyone starting out. The restaurant provides a variety of sauces but I still stick to my old faithful. I would like to try out the different proteins, maybe the paneer or the lamb keema. Overall, the options are endless here. The makhani fries also look great and taste the part. read more

Naan-Tastic - BOWL - Indian Near Me - Amherst, New York

Order from Uber eats, a bowl, mango smoothie, and garlic naan. $18.38 for a bowl, 5.39 for the mango lassi, 3.44 for the garlic naan. The Uber was kinda slow not sure if it took a while to make the food or if the driver was slow. Bowl was good fries were kinda soggy, I think getting getting just rice as the base is the way to go. Garlic naan wasn't very garlicky but still was god. Mango lassi is sweet and refreshing, serving size is a little small. read more

This place is pretty cool. Tonight was my first time here. They make indian bowls here in front of you, or you can get it as a wrap, or a naan taco. You can pick what base you would like, then your protein, then toppings, then the sauce. Or you can choose a bowl off of their menu. I chose the college bowl. It was fantastic!!! The base was made of french fries. I chose the channa masala protein. It also had sweet makhani, shredded paneer, raisins, dried cranberries, corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, sweet tamarind, with Punjabi mac on top. I also ordered a side of garlic naan, as well as aloo paneer tikki. Aloo paneer tikki are potato and cheese patties served with two different dipping sauces. The brown sauce was sweet tamarind. The other sauce was mango tango, I think. I also ordered one cardamom cookie and one cinnamon cookie. I'll be saving those for breakfast tomorrow. I was overly full from my fantastic naan bowl. I probably have another meal or two from it. It was an awesome looking bowl and it was quite delicious. I liked the tables and seating here. My seat wasn't uncomfortable, which is very important to me while eating out. The tiger mural over the entrance was cool as was the steampunk looking light fixtures. After an exhausting workout, this was a great way to end my day. I'm going to return, when I'm in the area, to try more of their menu. read more

I was very excited when I first heard Naan-Tastic was coming to Buffalo, and it had not let me down! I've been here several times, and each time has been great. My go to is the "naan taco" bowl. I love having everything placed on top, and then I can use the naan to scoop up all the deliciousness. I personally really like the chicken tikka, with both the makani and masala sauces (they will gladly do two- and I actually discovered this favorite combo at the recommendation of an employee). The toppings are all really fresh. I also enjoy their Veggie Samosas with the dipping sauces. They are fluffy filled pillows of veggie goodness. I appreciate that there is also something on the menu for everyone- from vegetarian, vegan, to GF. The staff is always very friendly. Since coming to Buffalo this has quickly become a favorite for Indian comfort food. read more

Tried for the first time , love the concept. Indian food is a favorite of mine. The service was friendly and expeditious. So many different options/combinations , which is great because you have to come back and try different choices! The chicken bowl was great , they made sure to add enough chicken to the bowl which means a lot that you dont have to awkwardly ask for a little more. So many healthy and vegetarian options as well. The samosas were delicious, not as big as am used to but has big flavor. I was not crazy about the taste of the lamb, a little gamey/ salty for me. I want to try the paneer next time! They also serve wine and have beer on tap. It would be neat if they featured a different monthly feature ( meat , sauce, naan) . All in all I can see why I have been hearing such great things . read more

Definitely worth trying, they are pretty unique! However, I would recommend dining in, instead of take-out as the food becomes quite soggy if you take out and eat it later. The ingredients like - crip sev, chips, and fries, when mixed with the sauces, become pretty soggy. So either dine-in or wisely select your toppings to avoid sogginess, later! Also, their sauces are slightly tangy, so if not a great fan, go easy on the sauces. read more

I'd been to Naan-Tastic several times now! The food is great. My favorite dish is the rice bowl and samosa! Oh, and I've always gotten mango lassi to go with my dish as well. The only reason I'm taking off one star is just the lighting in the restaurant is quite dark. That might be intentional to improve dining experience? But my Togo experience has been amazing. read more

This place serves Indian fusion food, like Chipotle style. Love the variety of fillings and toppings with the sauces the choose from.

Flavorful, plant forward cuisine, a fun environment, and some of the nicest owners and staff around - what's not naan-tastic about that? The mix and match nature of this place makes it one of the lowest fuss places to come with a group of mixed picky eaters. I (vegan) had a seamless dining experience with my brother (keto.....we often spend 30+ minutes trying to find a place we can both eat) and we both loved our meals. I built a bowl with mixed greens, chana masala, and a good 80% of the veggies and it was awesome in that simple, hearty way that a bunch of stuff thrown in a bowl always is. They also have dairy free naan on offer which somehow has the chewiness of the yogurt version! I liked the naan enough that if I'm to come back here I already know I'm going to get the naan tacos. This is a great spot for a casual lunch! I wish it'd been here when I was lamenting the lack of filling, healthy options on and around UB North. read more

This place should be called Faan-Tastic. I've always enjoyed Indian food, but never quite found a local restaurant that I felt comfortable recommending until now. The "build your own" approach is a bit overwhelming especially when crowded and you feel rushed, but the folks move things along pretty well. I'd recommend: BOWL: Lamb (or chicken) with turmeric rice (or quinoa) with masala sauce finished with cilantro mint. Choose toppings to taste. NAAN-TACO Garlic Naan with Channa Masala over turmeric rice with either of the tomato sauces (Dad's Sweet Makhani or Screamin' Vindaloo) finished with Cucumber Raita Sauce. Choose toppings to taste. CHAT BOWL - Aloo Tikki Chat This is already made for you. The main ingredients that I could make out are potato, masala and mint. This is amazing. I prefer it over the Samosa Chaat which seemed too fried. Will return again and again. read more

First time here - sort of a Chipotle of Indian food. Very very good ! Great atmosphere as well!!! Will certainly come again!

Fake Indian food. Save your money and go to an authentic Indian restaurant where you can get bigger portions that taste WAY better.

What a fantastic addition to buffalo/amherst. I'll admit, as a brown man who loves his brown food, I was skeptical and nervous. But let me tell you friends- this is the real deal. Imagine the concept of chipotle, merge it with some quality Punjabi food, and you've got Naan-Tastic. When you walk in, take time to appreciate all the work that went into the design of this place. An actual motorcycle parked at the entrance that is chiefly made in India and a favorite of the owners, educational posters on the spices you're about to have, modern Punjabi music bumpin through the speakers to put you in the mood, and so much more. The food. This spot was inspired from two Punjabi brothers who loved their parents' Indian restaurant, but wanted to do something different. So they literally used the recipes and dishes they had growing up and designed the menu. You've got veg and non veg options, veggies seasoned to perfection, a buffet of sauce options (creatively named btw), and almost free reign to design either a naan burrito, naan taco, or bowl. Don't skimp on the naan. If you're too intimidated by options, they've got some pre-made bowls to choose from. You can choose to accompany your food with makhni fries (think loaded fries), samosa, or Punjabi Mac and cheese. Have a sweet finish with a mango lassi. You won't be disappointed. My only critique, I appreciate that the food and culture isn't compromised, but they have to train their staff to know really understand menu and pronounce items correctly (know what halal means and how to say makhni). read more

This place is an interesting addition to the buffalo community.. I enjoy Indian food and I find that the array of Indian spices and flavors never disappoints.. until I came here. I never though i would say this but there were to many flavors fighting for recognition with every bit I took. I was widely confused but what flavors I was actually tasting, and ended up excepting defeat and finishing my dish only because I felt obliged since it was $12.00. You're much better off going somewhere authentic where they don't charge you an arm and a leg for an Indian version of Chipotle. read more
