    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Razaa A.

    This is an option for those with halal or Zabihah restrictions. I would call the restaurant in advance and ask the owner which items are halal. He said there isn't a big demand for halal items here so there isn't even a local supplier. He slaughters himself and has limited items on the menu that are halal. Out of about 30-40 menu items, 5-7 were halal when I went. The owner was very nice and has been in Mexico City for 34 years. He now has 3 total locations. The service was very quick and the servers were really nice. I'm really picky about my desi food and prefer Punjabi cooking. This didn't taste exactly like what I'm accustomed to having, but it's the only Pakistani option in Mexico City. I ordered the Karahi Chicken, Keema, Chicken Tikka Masala, Beef Biryani with Cheese Naan, Regular Naan; and Paratha. The must have out of these options was probably the Chicken Tikka Masala. I wouldn't recommend the Cheese Naan as you can't tell there's cheese in it. Overall, was great to see a Pakistani restaurant in Mexico City and is a great option if you're craving desi, but this isn't close enough to what I'm used to having so I give this a 3/5.

    Keema Samosa
    Asma K.

    I found this place to be surprisingly delicious. After a week of Mexican food I wanted some good ole biryani and I found this spot on yelp. I got the keema samosas, chicken biryani and naan. Everything was delicious and flavorful and fresh. They gave a dipping sauce with the samosa and traits with the biryani. They have indoor seating as well but I sat outside and people watched while eating my yummy food. Will def be back when I'm in Mexico City again.

    El servicio excelente pero las porciones demasiadas pequeñas y 15 pesos por una rebanada de pan carisimo. El pollo tandoori estaba seco.

    The service here was outstanding. Our waiter was very helpful in giving recommendations and very…read morefriendly. All our food was also quite tasty. We started with samosas and then had a shrimp dish, mussels, and a chicken dish. The shrimp was my favorite. A unique flavor. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the accompying sauce was rich and flavorful. Ambiance was nice but the music was a bit too loud at times. Overall an excellent restaurant. Glad we were able to come here during our visit of CDMX.

    I had high expectations for Masala y Maíz, especially because I love both Indian and Mexican…read morecuisines! We'd made a reservation in advance and were seated right away when we arrived on a Friday afternoon. The space itself was surprisingly plain and industrial - grey walls, almost no decor. For a place with a menu with so much personality, I was surprised that the interior had almost none. For drinks, I ordered a glass of natural white wine, which was very good. The 3 of us ordered a bunch of items to share family-style, starting with the Samosas, Paratha Quesadilla, Ceviche, and Camarones Pa'pelar. These were by far the most impressive items of the night! The texture of the Samosas was absolutely perfect, and it was hard to decide if the beef or potato ones were more delicious. The Paratha Quesadilla was such satisfying comfort food and the Ceviche was incredibly fresh and tasty. The Camarones Pa'pelar were super flavorful and the dipping sauce truly blew my mind. However after this, things went a little downhill for me. The Kuku Poussin was tasty but not as innovative as the appetizer dishes. And unfortunately I just wasn't a fan of the Whole Red Snapper. We also tried two desserts - the Tamal de Chocolate and Chai Tres Leches - but neither one blew me away. The concept of a Chai Tres Leches sounded so good but although the texture was nice, I felt like it was missing some sweetness. Overall though, we still enjoyed our meal and highly recommend trying the small plates!

    NOT QUITE LIKE INDIA BUT STILL GOOD - So it's hard to find good authentic Indian in Mexico City for…read moresome reason and often that means you need to sacrifice. But Tandoor near Polanco is a nicely decorated, open, spacious, and well serviced option. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the dishes while slightly expensive are still a reasonable value for the quality. Purists will not appreciate the beef dishes or the Pakistani dishes sprinkled into the menu, and the dishes are notably lighter in ghee so less rich than true India cooking, but the flavors are solid and the variety is good. They also serve free mint and classic raitas and some mango pickle with your meal, which each are excellent. Overall while you can find reasons to nitpick on authenticity, if you can get over that you can have a genuinely nice meal in a lovely place. All that said the naan was just meh, so maybe explore the other breads. Overall worth a visit so happy eating from John Seeto!

    Tandor: The Perfect Curry Fix in Mexico City…read more After days of indulging in all the tacos I could find--because how could you not?--a late-night craving for curry struck. As one does, I set out with Google Maps in hand (and maybe a quick peek at Yelp for good measure) and walked until I found Tandor, a cozy spot that promised to satisfy my longing for something rich, spicy, and comforting. The restaurant exuded a warm, inviting vibe, the kind of place that makes you want to linger over a pint of Kingfisher while your meal is being prepared. Which is exactly what I did. Sitting with my beer, I watched the staff expertly craft the dishes I'd soon be taking back to my hotel room. Once home, I unwrapped my takeaway, and Tandor delivered exactly what I was hoping for: a good, solid curry. The flavors were bold yet balanced, the portions generous, and every bite hit that familiar, comforting note that makes curry such a universal favorite. If you find yourself in Mexico City with a craving for Indian food, look no further. Tandor will take care of you, no fuss, no frills--just great curry and a satisfying experience.
