What Makes Our Cheese Naan Special?

We believe that great bread should be soft, flavorful, and packed with the perfect amount of filling. We use plenty of cheese, making sure every single bite is rich, stretchy, and deeply satisfying.

We use a high-quality, mild cheese that melts beautifully inside the hot dough. It provides a creamy, savory pull that perfectly complements the slight char of the freshly baked bread without overpowering the flavors of your main dish.

The secret to holding all that delicious cheese is our classic dough recipe. We prepare the dough fresh every morning so it rises perfectly, creating a soft, pillowy texture that wraps completely and securely around the rich cheese center.

How We Prepare Your Cheese Naan

Baking cheese naan requires serious skill and perfect timing. Our expert bakers use traditional methods to ensure your bread gets that signature bubbly finish while the cheese melts flawlessly on the inside.

We slap the stuffed dough directly onto the extremely hot clay walls of our oven. This intense, high-heat baking process cooks the bread in just a few minutes, creating a beautiful, slightly crispy exterior while locking the moisture inside.

The second the hot, bubbling naan is pulled from the oven, we brush it generously with melted butter. This simple final touch adds a wonderful shine, keeps the crust incredibly soft, and brings a final layer of savory flavor to the bread.
