TAGMO, New York NY

Decor and service is very good at Tagmo!

Recipes are interesting and offer a lot between vegetarian and those who eat meat/fish.

We loved the goat special that they had! We had a butter chicken akin dish but it was a little bland in flavor. So was an appetizer we had with tapioca.

I found the food quantity on the lower end making sharing difficult. I would not go again but it is a decent restaurant in the area with a lot of potential

Delicious food. The portion sizes are similar to tapas so it lets your try a few different dishes. Cocktails were very good too.

This is my fifth time here, the best food in NYC specialy for vegans! I can not recommend it more.

Tango serves Indian tapas-style dishes, which are small portions that are ideal for sharing. Our server was incredibly attentive and provided us with valuable guidance in selecting the right dishes for us since we are vegans. Overall, we had a delightful dining experience.

The best lentil soup I've ever had is at Tagmo! Though I make my own lentil soup, this one is phenomenal. The flavor, texture and right bite of spices. Another Tagmo comfort foods is their kitchri with a subtle flavor and seeds. I also love the marsala nuts that are crunchy, fresh and tasty. Don't get me started on Surbhi Sahni's handmade candies after watching her tv demonstration one night.

Every dish we ordered was disappointing and sub par. Service was average. Food was terrible. We had to send back an order to get it redone. Was a poor experience overall.

The food was great, but the menu is very small and need to have more options. Some of the prices, especially for the vegetarian dishes are STEEP. Chicken Chaap is a must try.

Truly excellent: although the menu has a modern flair, the flavors have their roots firmly planted in wonderfully traditional Indian fare. The mithai were expertly prepared and presented, with recipes that were obviously highly refined. The staff were all a pleasure to interact with, and never left me lacking anything. The Saag Paneer (potatoes) was probably the best I’ve had to date. I will certainly recommend my friends and family to visit often, with me hopefully in tow.

Best Indian food I’ve had! Love that this restaurant is owned by an amazing queer Indian femme chef. The vibe inside is welcoming. Love all the colors.

The food is good, but the portions are small considering the prices. The service is kinda slow and we felt like the team kept on forgetting about us. We had to wait 15 mins to pay the check.

Portion sizes are minuscule for the prices! Lamb meatball dish was ok, but chicken thigh dish was beyond awful. Staff friendly and helpful, but that does not compensate for the inferior food. In full agreement with the other poor reviews.

Great service and great food! Waitress was extremely friendly and helpful! We got the samosas, murgh khatta pyaz, and firni rice pudding and everything was wonderful

4.5/5

We tried the sabudana vada, masala melt sandwich, eral chukka, mango lassi and the firni. The food was really good! The lassi was amazing - not too sweet and didn’t taste artificial. The firni had a heavy hit of kesar but it tasted nice. It’s great that they have sabudana vada since it’s not a common menu item in Indian restaurants in NYC.

The ambience was great. We went for brunch late on a Sunday afternoon and it wasn’t crowded. They had Bollywood music playing and it created a good vibe.

The only downside is that this restaurant is expensive. I would still recommend this place for good food and a good time!

The Michelin star was definitely earned; even with my low spice tolerance, everything was so tasty I wanted to keep eating and didn't feel deterred by the heat

Tagmo, which translates to Tigress, is making a slow roar in the buzzing NYC restaurant scene. Located in the Seaport district near BK bridge, Tagmo is trying to create its mark with a compelling compact menu of familiar & regionally unique dishes served in a semi-upscale setting.

The moment you walk in, you immediately start getting a warm homey cafe vibe with a pleasantly painted wall decked with antique filled wooden lit shelves and a couple tables to chill. As you loft up a few steps, they have a beautiful main seating area lit nicely with soft white & soothing plants. On your table, the way of placing cutlery wrapped in colored napkin held by a decorated bangle is thoughtful.

The servers are also very pleasant & describe the menu well. Being an Indian myself, I didn’t quite need a description as menu items like Khandvi, Chaat, Sabudana vada just gushed in a sense of nostalgia from my home. We ended up ordering Khandvi, Aloo Chaat, Veg Biryani, Saag Paneer, Roohafza Spritz & some wine.

While each dish looks mouthwatering & is presented elegantly, the flavors don’t quite hit the spot. Definitely felt a bit underwhelmed with the spice levels. Every dish delivers a delicate flavor that may work well for many, but i was looking for a one-bite throwback, perhaps a richer slightly punchier flavor which none of these dishes have.
Moreover every item in my opinion is overpriced compared to the quantity served & the taste satisfaction it should provide. Especially its a bit ironic when they’re offering home-style food at a premium.

Tagmo may be a good introduction to new Indian dishes for many. The small menu is still commendable with a decent effort to elevate the dishes. I would recommend this place for someone with a penchant for Indian food with just mild spice preferences.
I’m debating a second visit, perhaps for a non-veg encounter, but the Tigress better get her spice right next time!

Authentic and interesting menu served in an charming and stylish venue. My husband and I brought my 11 and 15 year old and we had a culinary adventure trying 5-6 dishes. My son isn’t very adventurous with food but loved the biryani. Overall faves were the aloo chaat, mushroom and corn, chicken murgh and the Malabar paratha is to die for. A massive bonus to them for being highly allergen-aware, which is exceptionally hard to find at Indian restaurants. The service was over-the-top excellent. Will be back! I hadn’t been downtown for a while but it’s in a very cute neighborhood and worth making the trip!

In all seriousness the best meal I’ve ever had! All the flavors were on point, and the chef was super friendly! I’d come back even just for the cocktails!
