Would not say the food is fusion but I really liked the food. The naan taco was huge and I really liked the paneer tikka naan stuffed with cheese. The naan could use more cheese stuffing. However was Spicy and flavorful. The chickpea saag was also spicy and flavorful. And the potato filled naan is also yummy. Food is huge portions and overall I really liked it.

Came into Taco Mahal for a quick bite and left a huge fan. The eatery is not large, but they have adequate seating, serve large portions with a genius Indian/Mexican fusion, and will make you a return customer. During this visit, the following was ordered: Lamb Curry on Garlic Cheese Naan and Chicken Masala Bowl. Both of these items were exploding with spices, lots of flavor, and filling. The service is always friendly, quick serving, and accommodating to anything you may need during your meal. I highly recommend Taco Mahal and am certain, that you'll be a happy return customer.

Wow! This was so, so cool. The ambiance is kind of a hole in the wall place, but the food was FANTASTIC. I felt like such a fatty afterwards. Never heard of this chain, but man I would come back again and again. The fries are really good, so are the samosas.

My friend recommended this place and woah woah! I'm going back every week. Probably one of the best meals I've had in New York City!

Mango Lassi
Adam B.

Great for late night munchies with a lot of flavor. It's Mexican-Indian fusion, with more emphasis on the Indian side. The Naan Tacos are a must! Cheesy Garlic Naan Taco w/ Paneer Tikka Masala: This was divine! It was like all my favorites in taco form. Love the fluffy cooked to order naan. It can totally stand up the generous amount of tikka masala, without breaking. The garlic add-on put a lot of flavor in it. The cheese add-on made it so there was gooey cheese on the bottom of the taco. And while I'm not a vegetarian, I totally could be if paneer was in every dish I ate. Love the stuff! Was a major cheese fiend with those squeaky chunks against the gooey cheese. Mango Lassi: They didn't offer tap water for free, which is so trifling. So I got the lassi. Was thick and yogurty, though a tad light on the mango flavor.

Chicken tikka masala naan

Totally get the hype of this place, it feels fast casual place. You can pick between a roti, naan, bowl or entree. I chose the chicken tikka masala with naan and you can choose to stuff your naan. Their popular one is cheese and garlic. For about $15, you get a pretty solid portion and the meal was very very comforting and delicious. Flavors were great and chicken was tender. Would come back again!

Samosa

Taca Mahal is a great place for a quick snack, or even a full meal. Here, they combines tacos and classic Indian flavors, and the results are delicious! I had the three roti set. I ordered a chicken curry, lamb kabob, and a tikka masala. All three had great seasonings and spices. All three were very tasty. My single side of samosa was also great, especially with the accompanying sauce. So very good! I've been sampling different things on each visit, and I'll continue returning because every single thing I've had thus far has been great. If you like Indian seasonings and spices, then you're going to love this place. I look forward to my next visit.

It was just okay to be honest. A little overhyped. Def better spots in NYC for Indian food.

Samosa CHAAT
Dimpie S.

The food here surprised me pleasantly. The space itself is small with limited seating. I wish it was bigger because there's so many orders and so much business. The service was relatively quick despite the many orders. The samosa chaat was excellent! It wasn't too spicy but had authentic Indian taste The naan for the tacos is soft and fluffy! I loved the texture to hold the curries. The curries are a little sweet but taste good. One naan taco is also so fulfilling! I've been back and you HAVE to try the masala fries which are also excellent! Will definitely be going back

Inside - fantastic ambience in a teeny tiny space!

I wish you could SMELL the amazing Indian food being cooked here. Wow!!!!! My friend and I meant to come for dinner last night but I got sidetracked. So yes.... Ordered it to go for the plane ride home. Cannot wait! Inside dining at tall tables and take out n

Great quick meal before watching a broadway show. Love the Mexican/indian fusion idea! There were 3 of us and We ordered the $18 meals and it was too much food for us as the portion sizes are very large. The chicken tikka masala and paneer tikka masala were excellent. The chicken malai kabob gravy was very good and unique. The onion pakora were large and tasted great! Masala fries were ok. The items probably taste the best if you eat it right away in the restaurant as it can get soggy with all of the gravy. Might try the roti tacos next time!

LAMB CURRY*
Lauren Y.

Clean small place in midtown west. We went here before we had to catch a bus from Port Authority. It wasn't too quick though so give yourself some time if you go. The food was very nice. The lamb curry was little spicy but the Kashmiri shrimp tacos were sweet and refreshing. We got the roti tacos because they are half the price of the naan tacos. I wish I could've tried the naan tacos but $13 per naan taco is crazy.

I stopped in here while visiting NYC for a couple days with my 11yo. It was a great spot for happy…read morehour (frozen margs)!! The birria tacos were really good (or so my son said) but sadly the taquitos were terrible. They literally just had unseasoned shredded chicken (but serves me right for ordering something so basic). The salsa also tasted more like tomato paste than actual salsa. But again, the goal for this stop was a frozen marg(s) and that mission was accomplished and then were good . The atmosphere was also fun and lively and our server was attentive and never tried to push us out the door despite sitting there for a while!

Unfortunately, this place had little to offer. The staff seemed uninterested--either they didn't…read morewant to serve customers, didn't want to be there, or both. The energy was flat, and that lack of enthusiasm carried right into the food. The menu needs a complete overhaul. I'm not sure if it's trying to be "different," but the taco options were unappealing just from reading the descriptions. I managed to choose the two best-sounding items I could find, and honestly, they were so bland I don't even remember what they were. The setup and decor were basic. This spot could be a fun hangout, but it would take a better menu and staff who actually seem to care. It feels like just another restaurant that's lost sight of creating an actual experience for guests. The lack of vibe is obvious--if you don't want customers, just say so. I'm giving 2 stars out of respect for the fact that people have to work for a living.

I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
