Budget curry-night shoppers
If naan is an accompaniment rather than the focus of the meal, compare the number and size of breads with what you expect to serve.
Who is this choice for?
Shoppers choosing a flavoured naan
If garlic and coriander are part of what you want from the meal, check the exact recipe and pack size rather than relying on a premium-style name.
Shoppers checking dietary suitability
Vegan-labelled, milk-containing and free-from naans are not interchangeable. Check the ingredients and allergen information on the exact pack.
What should you check?
Start with the flavour you want, then check whether the pack size and instructions fit the meal.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Amount | Compare pack weight and bread count. The named garlic-and-coriander packs include different weights, so a two-pack does not always mean the same amount. | I want enough naan for this meal without leaving bread I am unlikely to use. |
| Flavour | Check whether the pack is plain or contains garlic and coriander. A premium-style description is not a comparative taste result. | Plain naan works for me as an accompaniment, or I specifically want garlic-and-coriander flavour. |
| Ingredients | Read the exact pack’s ingredients, allergen information and any vegan or free-from statements. Asda’s listed plain naan contains wheat; its separate Free From pack carries gluten-free and milk-free claims. Tesco Finest garlic-and-coriander naan lists milk ingredients. | I need to check suitability for the person eating it, not assume that plain, vegan and free-from mean the same thing. |
| Storage | Follow the selected pack’s after-opening and freezing instructions. Asda lists 24 hours after opening for its plain naans; M&S lists two days for its garlic-and-coriander pack. | If I will not serve the whole pack at once, I want to know when the remainder needs using. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Treating a premium description as a taste-test result
The listed packs have different recipes, but their retailer descriptions do not establish which one tastes better.
Choose plain or flavoured naan according to the meal and the ingredients you actually want.
-
Comparing two-packs without checking their weight
Two breads can make up different amounts of naan, which matters when deciding how much to serve.
Check both the pack weight and bread count, then consider how much of the pack you will use.
-
Assuming plain, vegan and free-from mean the same thing
The examined recipes differ: Asda’s plain naan contains wheat, its separate Free From pack carries gluten-free and milk-free claims, and Tesco Finest garlic-and-coriander naan lists milk ingredients.
For a dietary restriction, read the ingredients and allergen information on the physical pack before buying.

Questions about choosing naan
Does a premium label mean the naan will taste better?
No comparative taste result is established for these packs. Decide whether the stated flavour, ingredients and size appeal to you rather than treating the tier name as a taste verdict.
Should I compare the number of naans or the pack weight?
Check both. Bread count helps you plan servings, while pack weight shows how much naan the pack contains; two-packs can differ in weight.
Is a vegan-labelled naan also gluten-free?
Do not assume so. Asda’s listed everyday plain naan is labelled suitable for vegans but contains wheat; its separate Free From plain pack carries gluten-free and milk-free claims. Read the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen information.
How soon should I use naan after opening the pack?
Follow the instructions on the pack you buy. Asda’s listed plain naans specify 24 hours after opening, while M&S’s listed garlic-and-coriander naan specifies two days and storage in an airtight container.
Can every packaged naan be heated in a microwave?
No general heating method applies to every pack. Follow the chosen product’s instructions: Tesco’s listed 2 Garlic and Coriander Naans specifically say they are not suitable for microwave heating.
