Garlic Naan in Denver | SPICE ROOM

Fresh-Baked Tandoor Naan in Denver

Spice Level:
Vegetarian

Last updated:

SPICE ROOM's Garlic Naan is baked fresh to order in an 800°F clay tandoor, creating smoky charred bubbles and a soft interior. Brushed with garlic butter and served hot. Denver's most popular Indian bread at three locations.

About This Dish

Garlic Naan is the essential companion to every Indian meal, and at SPICE ROOM we bake ours fresh to order in our 800°F clay tandoor oven. The result is a bread that's impossibly soft inside with perfectly charred bubbles on the surface, infused with aromatic roasted garlic and finished with a generous brush of melted butter and fresh cilantro.

Our naan dough is prepared daily using a traditional recipe – yogurt-enriched for tenderness, naturally leavened, and hand-stretched before being slapped onto the scorching walls of our tandoor. The intense heat creates that signature smoky flavor and chewy-yet-light texture that makes tandoor-baked naan incomparable to oven-baked versions.

Whether you're scooping up Butter Chicken, mopping up Dal Makhani, or eating it on its own, our Garlic Naan elevates every bite.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is your naan different from store-bought?

Our naan is baked fresh to order in a traditional clay tandoor at 800°F. This creates a smoky flavor, charred bubbles, and soft interior that oven-baked naan simply can't replicate.

What types of naan do you offer?

We offer Plain Naan, Garlic Naan, Butter Naan, Cheese Naan, Keema Naan (meat-stuffed), and Peshawari Naan (stuffed with nuts and raisins). Garlic Naan is our most popular.

Is naan vegan?

Our traditional naan contains yogurt and is brushed with butter, so it's vegetarian but not vegan. Ask about our roti (chapati) for a vegan flatbread alternative.

What's the best curry to pair with Garlic Naan?

Butter Chicken and Dal Makhani are the classic pairings – their rich, creamy sauces are perfect for scooping with naan. Palak Paneer and Lamb Vindaloo are also excellent choices.
