WAFTING aroma of freshly baked naan coming from a traditional earthen oven whets the appetite.

Cooked upon order, the naan that simply means bread in Persian and Urdu, is crisp on the outside with a bubble-like texture caused by the yeast mixed in the dough that makes it soft with a distinctive taste.
