Garlic Naan

Warm, buttery and full of aroma, Garlic Naan is one of the most-ordered breads in Indian restaurants, and a must-have at Curry Gate. It takes our soft, fluffy naan and tops it with fresh garlic, so every bite is savory and irresistible.

Naan is a traditional leavened flatbread from North India, baked in a blazing-hot clay tandoor oven. The dough is rested until light and airy, stretched by hand, and topped with minced garlic, often with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro. It's then pressed against the tandoor's inner walls, where it puffs up and bakes to golden perfection in minutes. The heat toasts the garlic, releasing its rich aroma and mellowing its sharpness into a warm, savory flavor. It's finished with a brush of melted butter straight from the oven.

The result is a naan that is soft and fluffy inside, lightly crisp and charred outside, and packed with garlic flavor. Unlike Chilli Garlic Naan, it has no chilli heat, so it's a great pick for anyone who wants bold flavor without extra spice. Garlic Naan goes well with nearly every curry. Pair it with Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Lamb Curry or Paneer Butter Masala. It's also good for scooping up dal, Chana Masala and Palak Paneer.

Garlic Naan is vegetarian and a favorite with families, groups and first-time guests alike.

Whether you're grabbing lunch in Uptown, enjoying dinner in South End, or picking up takeout near NoDa, Curry Gate brings authentic Indian and Nepali flavors to Charlotte, NC. Add Garlic Naan to your next dine-in, pickup or delivery order.
