Indian-inspired tacos on naan or roti with flavorful curries
"This Greenwich Village restaurant is known for its Indian dishes served in the style of tacos. Instead of a corn tortilla, find roti or naan folded in half and filled with chicken curry or one of several vegetarian-friendly options like saag paneer or chana masala. There’s an additional location in Hell’s Kitchen. Both are open for delivery and takeout." - Eater Staff
"An order-at-the-counter concept that folds Indian fillings into naan or roti like tacos; the best value is a three-roti deal for $14 with options such as chicken malai, saag paneer, and channa masala; casual indoor and outdoor seating makes it easy to grab a quick bite even at primetime—don’t be put off by the fluorescent lighting." - Melissa McCart
"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
"I enjoy the fast, counter-service approach here — oversized, fluffy naan folded around fillings like chana masala, saag paneer, and lamb curry — and the chicken tikka masala is tender with a sauce that isn’t too sweet; mango White Claw or a tart mango lassi pair nicely before a movie." - Eater Staff
"Despite the name, this fast-casual joint serves familiar Indian entrees atop naan or roti rather than true 'tacos'; the chicken tikka masala ($7) is rich with spice and the naan is soft and buttery — a satisfying, inexpensive lunch." - Eater Staff
