Taco Mahal was a must-try on a recent trip to NY, and I wasn't disappointed. I tried the chicken tikka masala naan taco and first of all, the amount of food you get is pretty generous. It's definitely larger than the average taco. The tikka masala flavor was amazing - bold and zesty and so flavorful! The naan was also soft and fresh. My partner got the cheese naan with melted cheese inside, and I was so jealous! There's limited seating inside the restaurant but eating the taco fresh and hot is a must. I'll be adding this spot to my recommendations for NY visits. read more

The inside of the restaurant was small and offered a few tables. The staff was kind to explain the different sizes between a roti taco and a naan taco. The food....the food...the food. It blew my mind! The cheesy garlic naan paired with the paneer in the tikka masala sauce was just perfect! Cheese inside the naan, cheese (paneer) outside the naan. The tikka masala tied it all together so well! read more

This place is different so I get the number of 5 star ratings, but as an Indian, I found it well and truly underwhelming. Went there early on a weekday and we were the only ones there so grabbed a table. Just fyi, it is a place that is better suited for pick up. Very small and basic. We ordered one each of the three veggie options they had in a roti taco - palak paneer, paneer tikka and Chickpea (chole). The paneer tikka roti taco was totally lacking in flavor while the chickpea and the palak paneer were better. They have it at a mild spice level to cater to everyone, but I would have appreciated the ability to adjust the spice level. The guy at the counter told me I would need to buy a sauce on the side if I wanted it with a more kick. I didn't do that to see how it tastes out of the box. Also, the taco is just the gravy and paneer on top of the roti base with some arugula leaves and a tasteless slaw. If you're putting something on a bite sized food item, it better be flavorful, or atleast seasoned. The leaves and slaw were a big let down. I could think of a few ways to elevate this good concept they have. For now, it is just not for me. We left to have actual lunch elsewhere. read more

Love coming here! The service is fairly quick despite being busy with limited seating. They have decent decor but not a good date spot. The food is good! The naan is super fluffy and soft. The paneer tikka is really sweet and they decreased the amount of salsa and Hispanic food they add for the fusion. Mango lassi was delicious. Will still return every once in a while while it's still good read more

What a fun, unique twist on Indian food. Who would've thought that Indian and Mexican collaboration would have worked so well! I opted for the chicken tikka masala taco on stuffed cheese, naan bread. The chicken masala was delicious and very fragrant and flavorful. Adding guacamole on top was the icing on the cake; it added a special richness to the overall meal. Portions were huge and priced very well. I only wish they had a butter chicken option cause I find that to be a little bit more creamy and acidic then tikka masala, other then that, a must visit! read more

Really cool fusion concept! Small little restaurant went viral for their Indian-Latin American fusion known for their naan tacos. The naan taco was good, but it didn't blow my mind the way I thought it would. Their fries were really good. I would try other things on their menu, but don't feel in a rush to return. Pretty quick service, casual restaurant. 3.5 stars read more

A indian-taco fusion, never thought I'd see the day, but what a mix. I must say, their food is delicious. I got their butter chicken taco with naan, and it was really good. The only thing is that, it was hard to eat keeping it all together. Maybe lessen the portion of the butter chicken in the naan so it's sufficient to eat as a whole, rather than ripping off the ends of the naan and eating it with the butter chicken. Nonetheless, taste wise is 100% a 10/10 for me. I'll definitely be buying from this place again. read more

We were pretty hungry when we got here and we were looking for something different. Unfortunately, they didn't get our order right. They only gave us one taco and the serving was pretty small. Also, the masala fries were not that big. It's small inside and felt not very welcoming, but not sure what we return again. The flavors of the food were pretty traditional, which was nice. Try them for yourselves. read more

First of all, this is NOT a "fusion" restaurant... This is literally Indian food made in the form of a taco, making it much easier to eat curry versus the traditional way. We popped in around 8:15pm on a Saturday night and it was apparently prime time for them at that hour! This place is VERY small, so it was very crowded. They only have about 5 tables (most only seat 2 people each) and 5-6 additional seats at the window "bar" tabletop. Also, they didn't set up the inside very well so the line to order ends up blocking the door if too many people are there. And due to the crowd, it was VERY LOUD inside. The sound seemed to bounce around in the room, which was incredibly overstimulating. I ended up staying outside to eat after I ordered due to this. Okay, now that we've discussed the ambiance, let's talk about the food! I ordered the Paneer Tikka on a Cheesy Garlic Naan ($1.50 up charge for the garlic + cheese on the naan, $0.50 up charge for just garlic and $1 up charge for just cheese). It was absolutely delicious! Adding the garlic and cheese to the naan added an extra burst of flavor to the paneer tikka curry that was the filling. This was such an easy and less messy way to eat one of my all time favorite curries!! I was with a group of people and we ordered some Masala Fries to share - these were also very tasty. The fries themselves were SUPER crispy, which I loved. However, I was a bit surprised that they weren't covered in a masala seasoning... Instead, they had some cheese crumbles and chopped onions on top. It was still delicious, just not at all what I had expected since the name of the dish had the word "masala" in it. Also, I want to make note that I ate ONE naan "taco" and a handful of fries and was completely full. Unless you're looking to take home leftovers, I'd say just order one naan taco to start - they are very filling! However, if you choose to order a Roti Taco instead, you might need a second one. Roti is a less-fluffy Indian bread (typically eaten with curry like naan), so it's usually less filling than naan. If you like Indian food, you should DEFINITELY give this place a try!! And if you sometimes get overstimulated (like me), you might want to consider ordering take out if it's busy when you arrive. read more

Indian-Mexican fusion is brilliant! The staff was so friendly, food was good albeit pretty expensive for the portion size, and there was plenty of seating to get out of the cold. I would recommend this place if you're looking for a quick bite in NYC, but I have to say, the best Indian-Mexican food is in So Cal hands down. I enjoyed this vegan option in the city though. read more

Novelty naan-roll spot with decent food and large portions. High demand, so lots of seating but usually competitive to get. Large portions but proportionally priced. Got the garlic cheese naan with saag paneer and could not finish it. The saag was delicious, the naan cheesy naan was delicious -- but something about the paneer's flavor really threw the whole thing off. I'll come back another time to try the saag paneer again. read more

For the first time I was disappointed with taco mahal!!!! And this was my first time out of the first 5 being at their other location . Having craved this place for a while now I was closer to here than other spot. And I no longer would ever come here again. I got these 2 items for near to 40$ and I consider it a waste today!! Biriyani is always so flavorful but not today had hints of flavor but not hot it should be and always is. And the chicken masala was even worse . It seemed as though they pull some water in with the rice at the bottom so that watered eveything down . But the masala was also bland and just a bad meal. I even had to add the white sauce to give it flavor. And while placing order by phone he asked if I wanted not spicy or spicy I said medium is fine . I had zero spicy ness read more

Wow! I got the lamb curry and chicken tikka masala cheesy naan tacos and wow it was incredibly delicious. The naan tacos are big, so one would have been enough but they are so tasty, especially the chicken tikka masala. The mango chutney had a really nice kick to it and added so much flavor to the already delicious tacos. The service was quick and the small but cute restaurant was clean. There are no public bathrooms inside but I highly recommend checking this place out read more

Loved it!! I've visited India multiple times and have eaten at literally dozens of Indian restaurants and this place is now in my top 10. It's a very small and unassuming location. Only has seating for about 20, at most; but the food was creative and delicious. The roti tacos are okay, but the naan taco was a solid 10/10. I visited twice in two days and tried the chicken, lamb, saag/palak (spinach), and chana (garbanzo beans). Solid choices for any of the above. read more

Visited Taco Mahal for the first time after a workout class with a friend, and it was enjoyable. It's a quick, casual spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor space is on the smaller side, but there were plenty of people dining in--which is always a good sign. The concept of Indian-inspired tacos was super intriguing. We both ordered the Chicken Masala--one as a Naan Taco and one as a bowl. The chicken masala was full of flavor. The bowl came with basmati rice, greens, a scoop of guac (a great pairing with the chicken), and a lentil dal that was healthy, though a bit lacking in flavor. The Naan Taco was tasty too, though the naan-to-filling ratio felt a little off--maybe a bit too much bread for the amount of chicken. Still, it was satisfying overall. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu. read more

We were in the area and looking for a quick bite when we saw Taco Mahal and it looked interesting. This is a nice hole in the wall for Indian take on tacos and a few other Indian dishes. The space is quite small and can accommodate around 10-12 diners, but most of the traffic is carry-out. Placing the order was easy and the food was ready quickly as well. We ordered the following: Chicken Tikka Masala Naan Taco Lamb Curry Naan Taco Chicken Biryani The take on a taco was unique and interesting. The naan was fresh and well baked. The curries were also good and flavorful. Both the curries were quite authentic, though the Lamb curry had a nice kick to it The Chicken Biryani was good as well - and packed quite a bit of heat - not for the faint of heart. The serving sizes were generous as well - the tacos are best eaten as soon as possible! A good spot when in the area. read more

Taco Mahal is one of those unexpected gems you stumble into and end up talking about days later. We stopped in for a quick lunch and left thoroughly impressed. We each ordered Basmati Bowls--I had the chicken curry, my partner went with the chicken kebob--and both were rich, flavorful, and more complex than you'd expect from a fast casual spot. The presentation was sharp, and the naan was solid, warm, and pillowy, if not show-stopping. Yes, it seems pricey for the portion size, but the flavor, atmosphere, and overall quality earn it some grace. The vibe was perfectly New York spring--a mix of locals, wanderers, and a food tour that stopped in for a taste (which tells you something). Somewhere between rushed and relaxed, probably because it's right on Seventh Ave. Service was friendly, efficient, and super helpful, especially for first-timers. They walked us through the menu and helped us build bowls that really hit. Final take: -Great intro spot if you're new to Indian flavors -Perfect for a flavorful, casual bite in the Village -Would definitely return--especially on a sunny day with time to sit and watch the avenue move -Definitely think twice for a business lunch, might be a bit too messy. -Great casual date lunch Taco Mahal blends fast casual convenience with real culinary care--and that's a combo worth seeking out. read more

A very small spot more of a quick grab-and-go type of place. The aroma is incredibly pungent from a block away, in the best way possible. It truly captures authentic Indian flavors while embracing a Mexican-style taco fusion concept. The service was great; even with a packed house, our table was served quickly. The interior, however, is quite small with limited standing room, so we waited outside. As for the food, it was good but not great. We enjoyed it, but the butter chicken lacked the right level of spice. The naan was warm and fluffy, but it was overloaded with the salad/cabbage slaw topping. Overall, it's worth trying once for the novelty, but not a strong standout. read more

I'm married to a quick-service skeptic--especially the "fusion" kind. So when I floated the idea of Tacos Mahal on our Sunday stroll south from Hell's Kitchen, I braced for a polite veto. But the combo of solid reviews, healthy-ish options, and the promise of something fast won him over. The space is tiny but charming, with a few seats inside and a bit more room out front. We grabbed bowls, a mango lassi, and the lamb roti--which was hands-down the star. Everything came out fast, flavorful, and satisfying. If we lived nearby, this would be a go-to lunch spot. Fusion skeptics, consider yourselves gently converted. read more

When I first moved to NYC I had a bowl from the Hell's Kitchen location and didn't love my experience at Taco Mahal. I went for the tacos and that changed my entire perspective on this place. I will say the vibes are much better in the West Village to begin and the food just tasted fresher (maybe it's because I went earlier in the day for lunch). I got the lunch combo of three roti tacos. My favorite was the vegetable of the day, the paneer, and the chicken curry. The naan is incredibly pillowy here, it made for an excellent taco as well. read more

Fantastic little spot that packs a lot of flavor into a pita taco. I loved the chicken tikka masala taco and would highly recommend. It came out of the kitchen fast and very hot. Perfect lunch serving sizes -- one taco is enough to keep you going throughout the day without feeling like you're stuffed. Seating is limited inside, but there are a few tables with a cozy little vibe if you're eating alone or with a friend or co-worker. Would definitely recommend and come back again! read more

I still love Taco Mahal and recommend people come here, but because it's so close to my apartment I hold it to a different standard. They recently increased prices by 10% across the board, so recently that the menus in the restaurant haven't been updated. This means that the big biryani for like $19 is now like $22. Definitely not a fun barrier to break. This afternoon, though the restaurant was slammed, the biryani was constructed more sloppily with (perhaps) some new ingredients and less coloration throughout, closer to Masala Times', which is mediocre. The flavor was still there and the large shrimp were plentiful, but worth mentioning. For those looking for a good mix of carbs and protein, Kebab Express is now the only serviceable budget option in the neighborhood that I'm aware of. read more

Definitely worth seeking this place out. Hole in the wall type place with amazing Indian Mexican fusion . Super small inside but has a little seating and a covered outdoor area. Your order at the counter and pick up. They have bowls, biriyani, curries, roti tacos, naan tacos. Chai and other a la carte items. We chose the roti tacos with Chana masala, malai chicken and chicken tikka . With a side of masala fries. Served piping hot the rotis are nice and soft and so fresh. Stuffed with your choice of fillings topped with a little cilantro , onion and cabbage garnish. Comfort food kinda food . The chicken is so well marinated and a good amount of sauce. Can be messy eating it ! The fries had seasoning and the chutneys for dipping. Nice and hot too and perfect with the tacos. I'd like to try the naan tacos next time.

Very tasty and I loved the toppings that came with the taco as well. $6 plus tax quick bite did not disappoint. I would recommend getting their 3 taco deal, if you're looking for a fuller meal.
