- So what I wanted to do was bring a little
bit of me to New York City.
I come from a very diverse background.
I'm half Punjabi and half Latina,
so I wanted to bring that
inspiration of both of my cultures,
what I grew up eating, into a restaurant.
One day I was eating a taco and I was like
wouldn't it be so awesome if I could put
Indian food inside of a taco?
Some lamb curry, or some chicken tikka masala,
people would love that, because I love that,
that's what I grew up eating.
- Guys, I'm so excited, I absolutely love tacos,
and I'm a huge fan of Indian food.
And I can't think of a better way to get into this,
than this chicken tikka masala taco.
What's great is this naan.
The naan is very pillowy and fluffy
and it's just got this great,
soft bite to it, I wanna say like the perfect
vessel to soak up all the sauce and drippings
that you're getting from the chicken tikka.
That char with the sort of sweet, subtle
spiciness of the chicken tikka is great.
Look at that color on the the chicken.
That is beautiful.
And you know what's really, really
great on this, is the house-made chutney that
they're using, that has mint and cilantro and
it's very earthy and herbaceous.
This is absolutely delicious and I don't wanna
fill up just on this one taco.
I'm really looking forward to trying out their roti tacos.
Wow look at this little guy, this is awesome.
The roti looks so much like a normal street taco
that you would get.
And I got it with curried lamb,
which I'm really excited about
because I am a huge fan of lamb, one of
my favorite meats.
Let's see what this is like.
So much flavor, that lamb is absolutely delicious.
Tender, from just stewing in that curry for a while.
Absorbed all those flavors and sort of broken
down a little bit.
So rich, delicious.
I feel like you can just order a bunch of
these roti tacos, because they're like street tacos.
And you can like mix and match and try out
a whole bunch of different flavors.
I'm a big believer that no order of tacos
is complete without chips and salsa.
And here, they're doing that a little
differently, with their papadum chips,
with two different types of chutney.
Unlike a tortilla chip, papadum is a
chickpea-based four, so these come out very
brittle and more like a rice cracker-like chip,
but they are so good with this chutney,
and they're hooking it up with their mint chutney
and then this sweeter one too.
So good.
