"In a sea of special occasion restaurants dotting the West Village, Taco Mahal is an affordable faithful. Though the name suggests that Mexican and Indian food are served here, in practice, it’s Indian dishes served in a taco-like format for takeout. There’s a special of three roti tacos (fillings of your choice) together for around $15; otherwise, the under $12 chicken tikka masala served in folded naan is plenty for a filling meal. There are several tables, both inside and outside, flanking the storefront on the avenue." - Robert Sietsema
