Taco Mahal delivers a flawless collision of cultures in the heart of Manhattan. The Masala Chicken Naan Taco is a revelation: plump, smoky naan cradling intensely spiced chicken under a cooling mint chutney—less a taco and more a handheld Indian masterpiece. The Masala Fries, dusted in potent chaat spice, offered a savory, tangy crunch that demanded attention. To finish, the Hot Spicy Chai was mandatory. Steeped with intense cardamom and ginger, it’s a fiercely warm, complex brew that cuts beautifully through the richness of the meal. This fusion is utterly essential.

Taco Mahal has been on my list for so long and I’m so glad I visited! It’s a smaller restaurant but they have tables outside with a great view. It’s less of a taco place and more of an Indian quick food spot. The “taco” options range from roti to naan and there’s a lot of protein options! I got the garlic naan (they have many naan options) with the chicken curry protein option. It was so delicious, and flavorful! A great spot for a quick bite with quality preparation.

Accidental visit, but what a happy accident. The garlic naan exceptional. Flavorful but not too spicy. Get the lamb. Truly great. Samosas were ok, nothing special about them, but the tacos are great. Definitely going back.

If we're in the area we always go! Super delicious, good service, good vibes, amazing food, did I mention it is awesome?! Love the naan bread and samosas and chicken tikka.

I really can’t lie. I’ve been waiting to go to this place the moment I seen it on Instagram so I found myself in New York with my son and we wanted to try something new I know immediately had to come here. The taco was large enough, but just because it was a real opportunity I got several tacos and my son and I enjoyed it. He gave it a rating of top three best foods and that says a lot to an eight year old picky eater. I will definitely recommend. I will definitely return next time. I’m in the city.

Very cool fusion spot! Got the paneer tikka masala on a garlic naan and the flavors were perfect. For the price, very filling. Would recommend if you’re feeling quick in the West Village

Roti Taco with Paneer Tikka masala ($7) - I loved this unique dish! The curry was sweet and flavorful and the roti was softer than I expected. The garnish went well and it was a great dish overall.

Was craving tikka masala, so I thought id give this place a try. It tastes like curry , tomato sauce and BBQ sauce mixed together. Kinda to very sweet. Its alright ...... but next time I rather just have a normal tikka masala. I know this place is fusion... im glad I gave it a try cause I've been meaning to. Also the cheesy bread and the cream cheese everything bagel bread is really creative and fun... Maybe this is a good place to start if you wanna introduce your picky kids to *Indian food* lol

When we lived in Brooklyn, we loved coming here. Now that we live in Los Angeles, we always stop here when visiting NYC. The Mexican/Indian concept is :chef’s kiss:! Our biggest problem is ordering too much 🤣🤣🤣 The salmon pakora is outstanding. It was my first time getting it here and that will be a staple now. My ONLY qualm (and why I gave it 4 stars) is they don’t have a bathroom for customers, it’s employees only. I’ve never been to a restaurant that doesn’t have a toilet for customers to use. If that’s not a concern for you - then it’s definitely 5 stars

One of the best Naan i have ever had! The concept of serving curry(sabji)and naan as taco is just a different way eating caryy with naan. As an Indian I won't say it gives actual Indian taste as I found the curry sweet while local found it spicy. Overall it was a good experience.

What a solid naan taco!! Got the chicken tikka masala on a garlic cheese naan — so decadent, so indulgent, so many flavors. You really only need one and you’ll be more than satisfied. The chicken went incredibly well with the naan, as expected, and the sauces and veggies on top were a nice addition. The naan was a star — stretchy cheese and strong notes of garlic, it was everything I wanted and so worth the up-charge. The interiors were so cute, lots of tables indoor and outdoor for a variety of numbered groups to sit in. The decor was bright and colorful, like an artsy street food shop.

This was a nice place, kind of unassuming from the outside but the food was delicious. There isn't too much seating but it's easy enough to carry out and eat. I got one of the naan tacos and I thought it was an interesting concept, and it tasted pretty good. The price was a tad bit high for what you're getting.

Taco Mahal offers a fun fusion concept, and we tried the Chana Masala Taco and Jalapeño Popper Naan. The flavors were interesting and the food was decent, though the vegetarian options felt a bit limited. The Chana Masala had a good spice kick, and the naan was cheesy and satisfying. The real highlight was the outdoor seating — great vibe and perfect for a casual bite. Worth a visit if you’re nearby and in the mood for something different.

Got the Naan taco with chicken curry. It was pretty good and overall unique. However, their prices are high for the portion you’re getting. One more thing is that they have a grade pending which is not great. The place is pretty small and there was a big line inside.

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.

I came from Canada and wanted to try Taco Mahal based on my brother’s recommendation. I had one lamb taco and one chicken taco. Unfortunately, the chicken was not cooked properly, so I had to leave it halfway and couldn’t finish it. Overall, it felt overhyped. We ordered two lamb tacos, two chicken tacos, and two Jarritos, and the total came to $57 — way too expensive for the quality and not worth it at all. My brother was very excited and really wanted me to try it, but after that, he got angry. I wish I had tried something else instead of tacos.
