The Wall of Fire

You simply cannot make authentic naan in a home oven. Our kitchen uses a traditional cylindrical clay tandoor heated by charcoal to temperatures exceeding 900°F. When you order, our chefs stretch the dough over a cloth pad and literally slap it onto the superheated inner wall of the oven. The dough sticks, bubbles, and bakes in less than 90 seconds. We then pull it out with long iron hooks, ensuring a smoky, charred, and perfectly blistered flatbread. 

The Secret to the Stretch 

The perfect authentic garlic naan in Oakland requires patience. We use fine white flour (maida) mixed with a touch of yogurt and baking powder. The dough must rest and ferment for hours to develop its signature stretchy, chewy texture. Right before baking, we press generous amounts of finely minced raw garlic and fresh cilantro directly into the dough. As it bakes, the garlic roasts instantly against the clay wall, releasing an incredible aroma. 

The Ultimate Scoop

Garlic Naan is designed to be torn with your hands and used to wipe your plate completely clean. It pairs exceptionally well with: 

  • Butter Chicken: The ultimate pairing. The buttery garlic bread perfectly complements the rich tomato and cream sauce. 
  • Dal Makhani: Scoop up our 12-hour slow-cooked black lentils. 
  • Tandoori Chicken: Wrap pieces of smoky, dry-roasted chicken right in the warm bread.
