Being a fairly new resident of the area, my partner and I decided to venture out and try a couple new spots. After the second batch of buttery, flaky, garlic naan ended up on our plates, we decided that we had to try out a couple more spots and see which would win our heart (and wallets for the next year.) Scroll to find out! Keep in mind that we rated the restaurant's naan, not the restaurant as a whole. For the record.
We felt it was only right to honor the many awesome qualities of naan. So, we rated each naan based on butteriness, flakiness, softness, and flavor. Do the math and we calculated the average for an overall rating out of five. Get it? Got it? Good! Let's go.
