At this tiny counter-service spot off Bleecker, rich Indian curries and tandoori proteins get wrapped in roti or naan “tacos,” making saucy favorites easy to eat on the go. The space is colorful but compact, so most guests treat it as a fast, satisfying stop for boldly spiced chicken, lamb, or paneer tucked into warm bread with chutneys.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka masala roti taco, Paneer tikka naan taco, Lamb curry roti taco
What makes it special: Indian curries folded into roti and naan “tacos” in a busy West Village nook.
8.1
Bombay Bistro turns a narrow Cornelia Street townhouse into a softly lit dining room for butter chicken, biryani, and tandoori platters that lean polished rather than rustic. With cocktails, a late kitchen, and slightly elevated pricing, it works best as a West Village date night or small-group dinner when you want familiar North Indian flavors in a more designed space.
Must-Try Dishes:
Butter chicken, Lamb biryani, Dahi puri
What makes it special: A cozy Cornelia Street bistro serving cocktail-friendly North Indian standards in a stylish room.

Operating on Bleecker since the late 1990s, Ghandi Cafe is a narrow, slightly worn curry house beloved for big portions and a sprawling Anglo-Indian menu.

Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken tikka masala, Saag paneer, Lamb vindaloo
What makes it special: Long-running Bleecker Street curry house known for hefty, wallet-friendly plates.
