Shoppers planning a curry meal
Plain and garlic-and-coriander naans offer different flavour choices. Compare standard, mini and larger packs with the number of diners and the rest of the meal in mind.
Who is choosing naan for delivery?
Shoppers avoiding gluten or wheat
Check for an explicit gluten-free or wheat-free label and read the allergen statement. Ocado lists BFree naan as gluten-free and wheat-free, while the cited Asda vegan naan contains wheat.
Smaller households and people sharing a meal
Piece count alone may not show how much bread a pack contains. Tesco lists four mini plain naans, while Ocado lists an M&S pack of two large 130 g naans; compare the stated servings and instructions for leftovers.
What should you check before ordering?
Start with dietary requirements, then choose a flavour and pack format that fit the meal. Check storage and heating directions if delivery is well before you plan to eat.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the exact product’s dietary claims, ingredients and may-contain statements. Do the same for a substitution: “vegan” and “plain” do not mean wheat-free. | If I must avoid gluten or wheat, I need an explicitly labelled product. Other relevant allergens still need checking on its pack. |
| Pack format | Compare piece count, total weight and stated servings. Mini pieces and large individual naans are not interchangeable measures of portion size. | For a smaller meal, I may prefer several mini pieces; for a shared meal, I want enough bread without opening more than we can use. |
| Flavour | Choose between plain and named flavours such as garlic and coriander or peshwari. Check the exact ingredients if a filling or seasoning matters. | A plain naan lets the curry or dip take the lead; at another meal, I might want flavour in the bread itself. |
| Storage and heating | Check whether the exact pack permits freezing, how long to keep it once opened and which heating methods it specifies. | When delivery comes before curry night, I need storage instructions that fit the time between delivery and the meal. |
Common ordering mistakes
-
Assuming plain or vegan means wheat-free
The cited Asda garlic-and-coriander naan is labelled vegan but contains wheat; Waitrose plain naan also declares a cereal containing gluten.
For a gluten- or wheat-free requirement, choose an explicitly labelled product and read its current allergen and may-contain statements.
-
Choosing by piece count alone
Four mini naans and two large naans describe different formats, not equivalent amounts of bread.
Compare weight, servings and post-opening instructions with your number of diners.
An opened larger pack may leave bread that cannot be kept for your next planned meal.
-
Assuming a listing guarantees an item in your order
Waitrose has displayed an item as sold out online within its naan category, so a category listing is not the same as a confirmed basket item.
Check your basket and any proposed substitution, then read the label on the naan delivered.
-
Using one heating or freezing rule for every naan
Storage and preparation directions differ between products. Ocado’s listing for M&S large garlic-and-coriander naans says to eat them within 24 hours of opening.
Follow the received pack’s heating, freezing and defrosting directions rather than transferring instructions from another naan.

Naan delivery questions
Is vegan naan also gluten-free or wheat-free?
Not necessarily. Asda’s cited vegan garlic-and-coriander naan contains wheat. For gluten or wheat avoidance, look for an explicit label on the exact product and check other allergen statements too: Ocado’s BFree naan is labelled gluten-free and wheat-free but may contain mustard and sesame.
Can naan from a grocery delivery be frozen?
Freeze it only in line with the exact pack’s instructions. Waitrose plain naan and the cited Asda and M&S products are listed as suitable for freezing, but their storage and defrosting directions differ.
How long can I keep naan after opening it?
Use the period printed for your product. Ocado’s cited M&S garlic-and-coriander naan listing says to eat it within one day of opening; that direction should not be applied to every naan.
What if my ordered naan is substituted?
Check the substitute’s ingredients, allergen and dietary labels, pack size and storage instructions before use. A different plain, vegan or flavoured naan may not match the product you selected.
Should I choose naan by a “white-and-brown blend” description?
Use the exact product’s stated ingredients and nutrition information if the type of flour or fibre content matters to your choice. For the meal itself, flavour, pack size, dietary labelling and storage instructions provide more specific checks than a “white-and-brown” description alone.
