Paneer tikka masala on a cheesy garlic naan, and a chicken tikka masala on a garlic naan
Douglas V.

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!

Chicken Tikka Masala on naan

I have been wanting to try this place. Basically putting food like chicken tikka masala on top of naan or roti. How can you not love that? It had decent spice and a was flavorable. They also have Indian beers. Great for a quick bite.

Mango Lassi
Dimpie S.

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

Chicken Tikka Masala
Austin P.

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!

PANEER TIKKA MASALA ( VEGETARIAN)
Bailey R.

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.

Chicken tikka Roti Tacos

A unique take on tacos. I ordered the chicken Tikka masala taco on roti. Really fresh and flavorful and the roti was the perfect size, just like a tortilla!

Jalal B.

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.

Roti tacos
Lars L.

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.

Chicken tikka masala naan

Lives up to the hype. Incredible chicken tika masala. Picture does not do it justice. Get the naan version. 10/10. Only thing is I coulda used a knife Shoutout the awesome music playlist

Not enough flavor better at other location
Dmitry D.

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

Inside
Maureen B.

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.

Veggies Of The Day (Vegan)
Shivali S.

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.

Sasha M.

This is hands down the best food I've ever had in NYC. The best Indian food with the best spices. 1000000/10

We were sending off a friend and wanted to have them try something classic to NY so brought them…read morehere. Like was long per usual but it moved pretty well and we were at the front in time. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and fast/efficient. We ordered several carne asada tacos and quesadillas in addition to chips/guac. As always, everything was delicious - there's a reason they're so popular and considered one of if not the best tacos here. Similar type of location and layout as their other spots on the city. It's quick, loud, small, but efficient- quite fitting of NY. Always a good time and good food.

You know a taco spot is going to be good when there's a line out the door! While we were waiting,…read moreyou could hear both locals and visitors talking about how amazing this place is, which only made me more excited to try it for myself. The hype was absolutely worth it. The adobada tacos were hands down the best tacos I've ever had. The homemade corn tortillas were fresh and flavorful, and the adobada was perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor. I also tried the carne asada tacos, which were good but definitely overshadowed by the adobada. Each taco came topped with onions, cilantro, guacamole, and salsa. Just a heads-up--the salsa packs some serious heat! Overall, this place completely lived up to the hype. If you're in the area and don't mind waiting in line, it's absolutely worth it.
