About Garlic Naan
Garlic naan is our soft white-flour naan worked through with garlic. The dough is maida — refined flour — leavened with yogurt and baking powder so it bakes light and puffed. Before it goes into the oven, finely chopped fresh garlic and fresh coriander are pressed into the wet surface so they bake right into the bread. It is then slapped by hand onto the inside wall of our real charcoal tandoor at around 480°C and cooks in roughly ninety seconds, picking up the usual brown contact spots on top and a light char where the dough gripped the clay.
As it comes off the wall it is brushed with garlic butter at the pass, which lifts the aroma further. The baking mellows the raw bite of the garlic into a rounder, savoury fragrance rather than a sharp one, and the coriander adds a fresh green note. Ghee can stand in for butter on request, and the bread is halal-friendly with no pork. It is one of our most popular breads and goes with almost any gravy on the menu.
Two minutes walk from Grand Mercure Bangkok Atrium; free parking at the Bangchak gas station right next door.
Bread is made to be eaten with something, so the full menu is the place to pick the gravy it belongs to — and this note on our tandoor explains where the blistering and the char come from. It sits in our Breads menu, and regulars often order it alongside Paneer Butter Masala.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is fresh garlic used for this naan?
Yes, we use finely minced fresh garlic to top the dough before it goes into the tandoor.
Does it come with butter?
We brush it with a light coat of butter or ghee, which lifts the garlic aroma — so it contains dairy.
Can I request extra garlic?
Yes — tell your server"extra garlic" when ordering and the tandoor cook will load on a heavier mince before the naan goes onto the clay wall.
Is the garlic flavour overpowering?
The baking process mellows the garlic slightly, creating a balanced, savoury aroma rather than a sharp bite.
What is the green garnish on top?
It is freshly chopped coriander leaves, sprinkled on alongside the garlic.
