Last night, I was in the nearby Powerhouse Arts District for a gallery show. Afterwards, I walked to The Indian Tapas for a bite before heading back home (closes at 10pm). I ordered a Paneer Tikka Roll meal. You order at a kiosk and then you'll hear your number called when it's ready for pick-up. There are some tables inside if you want to dine-in. Cool spot! read more

Visited my funemployed friend here for lunch at a time when I was craving fast casual Indian food, and wouldn't you know it--this hit the spot. We shared the Chicken Tikka Roll for two, which clocked in at $15 total for two hefty wraps of juicy chicken tikka masala cubes combined with parathas, pickle, yoghurt, and mayo. And though that was more than enough, I also tried the Vada Paav, one of my favorite Indian street snacks. How can you go wrong with a friend potato sandwich topped with green chutney? It's proof that God exists, and he speaks Hindi. The potato fritter here was perfectly crisp and starchy, and the accompanying green chutney was spot on. Not to mention, the bread was pillowy soft. Mmmm, Indian foodgasm. We indulged in dessert with the Ras Malai, which had the right flavor but was too hard from being in the fridge (think they're pre-made). The Mango Lassi was refreshingly sweet and tart, though. read more

New Indian street-food vibes have arrived in Exchange Place, and I'm here for it! This cozy spot seats around a dozen guests and bursts with personality -- from a vibrant doodle wall of Mumbai's iconic landmarks to two self-order kiosks that make ordering quick and easy. Our food arrived in no time, adding to the smooth experience. Here's what we had: Samosa Pav ($6): Decent, but nothing standout. Dabeli ($6): Packed with flavor and very satisfying. Veggie Pattie Meal ($11): Burger with fries and a soft drink (pre-chilled in the fridge). We requested masala fries instead of plain -- and they gladly obliged. Jal Jeera Lemonade: Refreshing idea, but the taste was just okay. Paneer Bao Bun ($7): The star of the night! Generous paneer filling, bold flavors, and a definite must-order. Prices lean a little high for a quick-serve spot considering the food portion/size, but the flavors and experience make it worth a visit, especially when those street-food cravings kick in. read more

Tiny place with a limited but tasty menu I stopped by Indian Tapas a few times for a quick lunch or after-work bite in Fall 2025. The place is tiny but cute, with nice décor and a cozy feel. The menu is very limited, and I've tried most of it: Chicken Tikka/Haryali/Achari/Kebab Rolls, Dabeli, and the Chicken Bao Bun. The rolls are tasty and flavorful with good combination of sauces. However, they all taste quite similar since they use the same marinated, somewhat dry chicken. Out of the four rolls, the Chicken Kebab Roll was the juiciest, and Haryali Roll had the most flavor. The Dabeli was excellent, and the Chicken Bao Bun was very good, though it also used the same chicken as the rolls. The roll size is modest, and at $8 each, they feel a bit overpriced. I personally needed three rolls for a satisfying lunch, which comes to $24 without drinks. I'd suggest making the rolls slightly larger, using juicier chicken, adding more sauce (the green sauce I was given on the side made a big difference), and expanding the menu with lamb options. Overall, it's still a good spot for flavorful Indian small bites. read more

Came here for a quick lunch and this place was amazing! It's perfect for to-go food. The kati rolls are incredibly amazing! I really like that they make them with parathas instead of naan. The menu is very friendly towards vegetarians and you won't miss the meat at all. The other thing I want to give them extra credit for is because they made Sevi. Most Indian restaurants make kheer (rice pudding). However, for me the vermicelli pudding by far is my favorite. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC read more

Wanted to grab a "late lunch" of sorts before our evening paint session in NYC, so stumbled across this place for a 4pm bite. The options were plentiful, but my mind was laser focused on the kati rolls. Kati rolls are one of my favorite Indian snacks.... more than anything honestly. Knowing that my friends at the infamous NYC location are my all-time favorite, I wanted to see how this fared in comparison. So first thing first, you order via a kiosk and the food can come through pretty quickly. For me, I was the only one, so... yeah lol. I ordered 2 Paneer Tikka Rolls. This is the closest thing to my favorite Achari Paneer rolls. Of course, you can't have every ingredient match, but this sufficed. So at $8/kati roll, it's similar priced (if not more?) than the Kati Roll Company. The rolls itself.... were not that bad. They got the paneer marinated properly. Maybe a little too much yogurt here and there, but I think it's damn close. The rolls itself aren't as crispy as Kati Roll Company. It can leak out a bit at the end, but the flavor is there. 2 rolls are more than plenty. I ordered the mango lassi. It was kinda mediocre in my opinion, but it was the best alternative for me at the moment, since I got my coffee fix in the morning. This would do. The interior looks pretty nice and definitely a good amount of seating. Figure most grab and go anyways. read more

Modern and clean fast casual restaurant for tasty Indian street bites. Place your order on one of the self-ordering kiosks and then wait for your number to be called to pick-up your food. The dishes looked small at first but were actually pretty filling! I tried the tikka paneer roll and the dabeli, both which were very flavorful and spiced perfectly. The chai was also great to enjoy with the meal. read more

Call it Indian fast food. The small place is very interesting. You come in and order via a kiosk. The fare is mainly kathi rolls and there's a good variety to choose from. I had the paneer haryali roll and the masala aloo roll. Both were very tasty. I think the paneer roll was slightly better, but both were tasty. I'm definitely coming back to try some more. read more

their customer service needs work. It was my first time coming in and it was a bad impression. I placed my order in the kiosk for only two drinks to just a taste a bit of Indian beverage since I have little exposure to their culture. There was no one at the front so I thought they were preparing my order in the back. 20 minutes passed and I'm still sitting at the table wondering if they ever got my order. Two of the staff members passed by me to go to the bathroom, but they never checked in with me or even greeted me even though they saw I was there. I finally walked to the counter and called out to a staff member I saw in the back. I asked them if my order was ready and the worker there looked confused. He asked me what my order was and I gave him my receipt. He pointed towards a fridge where two of the items I ordered sat within. I said, " I don't work here. I don't know what the drinks look like. This is something you guys should be doing especially since i've been waiting for 20 minutes now." He still pointed and tried to instruct me on where the drinks were. Frustrated, I gave in and just took the drinks by myself and left. Will not be going back there. It seemed like my presence was a nuisance and they couldn't care less about paying customers. read more

Food was delicious. Loved the smaller portion sizes, which meant we could try a lot of dishes. Great place!

Really nice. Good food, quick service and fun decor. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the butter chicken bao buns and samosa paav. They tasted very good. read more

Newly opened, but the same old homely feeling. I tried this place, as it's owned by the same person I have ordered Indian tiffin's (home cooked food) from. I came in with high expectations, and the place did not disappoint at all. The vibe is a small cozy cafe set-up, with some nice Indian music playing in the background. So far I've tried - Samosa Pav, Hariyali Paneer Roll, Paneer Tikka Roll, Masala Fries and Rooafzah. The Paneer Tikka Roll and Rooafzah were my favorites. (I can't wait to try the Vada Pav's too - as in the tiffin they're always amazing!) The service is pretty quick too most times I've been here, with friendly staff! read more

The food was delicious. We got some of the staples - chicken bao bun, paneer roll, samosas and one more, sorry forgot the name haha. I ordered it to go an it was quick - within 10 min. The food was a little too spicy for me but my fiancée loved it! It tasted authentic and spices were in top. I'm giving it 4 stars because i thought that it was too expensive and not enough food. As a quick take out spot this will be easily $30-$40 a person which seems like a lot for take out food. read more

Simple, cool no frills place. I ordered the paneer kathi roll combo for 12$ (nice price point for the area) and it delicious. I'd recommend this place. read more

Great spot for a quick and authentic bite. The drinks were surprisingly good and hit the flavor mark! We had the chicken kebab, paneer hariyali kebab and the kachi kairi (raw mango) drink - and enjoyed all of them! Will be back! read more

Amazing staff and food! Been here twice. Great location and excellent rolls / appetizers!

Wow! Thank you Yelpers for highlighting this little place. Checked into the Hyatt late after a long drive. Wanted something light and tasty. Wasn't expecting much looking at the self-serice touch menu and picked the spicy panner pita because spicy always wins. Superb choice! Tasted like Kung Pao paneer with no peanuts. Great flavor and texture. Only wish that the charming unused pizza oven was used to bake fresh bread for the sandwiches. Vermicelli "rice" pudding was an excellent dessert companion. Not sure why the place is called "tapas"-- it's an Indian fusion sandwich shop. But it's great. Go. read more

Interesting place, that is very niche in terms of the food that is served. They certainly don't hold back on the flavors. read more

I ordered a veg burger as I was unsure about this new Indian place. It turned out to be delicious. Cant wait to try other items.

Great food. Ordered the paneer tikka roll, aloo masala roll, veggie patty burger and all were delicious. The spice levels were spot on, not too spicy and not bland. The only thing that was below expectation was the kala khatta. Overall loved the food and we will definitely order again read more

This place has amazing food. I have been here 3 times and have ordered various chicken rolls. They are perfectly spiced and excellent quality as well. The Roti/wrap is not oily or greasy. Feels like home made rolls and you don't feel heavy after eating. The owner is very friendly and kind too. I'm sure all the other items are great too but I haven't got a chance to try them. Our friends have ordered them via door dash and the quality remains via delivery too. Hopefully they will expand to Uber eats as well. read more

Bao buns were delicious! The paneer and chicken - my parents were big fans of the vada pav. I ordered for take out but we decided to eat there and the guy behind counter was kind enough to offer reheating our food which I thought was really kind! It's decorated tastefully. Love the Mumbai wall ! read more

Fantastic food! The Paneer and Aloo rolls were delicious.The menu seems very snappy and tasty.Can't wait to try more!

A sweet little cafe serving kathi rolls and other sandwiches. Suitable for vegetarians and meat eaters as both can find something to eat easily. Its very clean and nice people working there. Went for lunch today and enjoyed my chicken roll with mango lassi. Hoping they add homemade real chai to the menu very soon! read more
