Curry-night hosts
If naan is part of a shared meal, check the flavour, number of breads and pack weight against the people you are serving. Make sure the delivery slot fits the meal.
Who is this for?
Plain-naan planners
A plain pack can accompany different dishes. Check its size and the delivered pack’s storage instructions if you plan to use it across several meals.
Ingredient-conscious shoppers
Check the ingredients and allergen information for the exact naan delivered, including any substitute. A vegan or vegetarian description is not an allergen guarantee.
What should you check?
Start with the naan’s role in the meal, then check the pack and delivery details that could change your choice.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour | Read the exact product description: plain tandoori, garlic and coriander, and peshwari are different accompaniments. Waitrose describes its peshwari naan as containing sultanas and desiccated coconut. | I want the curry to remain the main flavour, so I’ll look at a plain naan. For a sweet side, I’d choose peshwari deliberately rather than accept it as a plain-naan substitute. |
| Pack and storage | Compare the number of naans and total weight: the Ocado-listed M&S garlic-and-coriander pair is 380 g, while Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference pair is 280 g. Follow the delivered pack’s date and storage instructions. | How many people am I serving, and will I use the whole pack? If I’m buying ahead, I need the pack’s freezing and preparation directions. |
| Ingredients | Check the exact ingredient and allergen information, including precautionary statements. Tesco’s Clay Oven Bakery plain naan is labelled suitable for vegans but lists wheat and a may-contain-soya statement. | A dietary label alone does not answer my allergen question. I’ll check the naan that arrives, especially if it differs from the one ordered. |
| Delivery | Check the listing for your delivery area and slot. Review substitution settings when a particular flavour or recipe matters, and inspect any replacement before accepting it. | I need the right naan for this meal, not just a broadly similar bread delivered at the right time. |
Common buying mistakes
-
Assuming a premium name guarantees better taste
Premium-range names and hand-stretched descriptions identify how a product is presented; they do not tell you whether its flavour will suit your meal.
Choose the flavour and pack size you want, then read the exact product’s ingredients and preparation directions.
-
Treating differently sized pairs as interchangeable
Two-bread packs can contain different amounts: the listed M&S garlic-and-coriander pair is 380 g, while Sainsbury’s Taste the Difference pair is 280 g.
Check both the bread count and total weight when planning portions.
-
Treating a vegan label or substitute as an allergen guarantee
Tesco’s vegan-labelled Clay Oven Bakery plain naan lists wheat and a may-contain-soya statement. A substituted naan may have different ingredients.
Check the delivered product’s allergen information before use. If a substitute is unsuitable, follow the retailer’s process for declining it.

Sainsbury’s
Sainsbury’s lists a Taste the Difference garlic-and-coriander naan pair weighing 280 g.
- Its listing specifies garlic and fresh coriander at 2.5% each.
- The hand-stretched and flame-baked description is not an independent assessment of taste.

Questions about ordering naan
Does a premium-range name mean a naan will taste better?
No taste advantage follows from the range name alone. Choose the flavour and serving size you want, and use the exact product’s ingredients and preparation details to compare packs.
How should I store and prepare delivered naan?
Follow the directions and date on the pack you receive. The Ocado-listed M&S Bake & Serve pair calls for a little water and a preheated oven, but online freezing durations differ, so use the pack’s freezing instructions. GOV.UK distinguishes best-before dates, which concern quality, from use-by dates, which concern safety.
What if a different naan arrives?
Check the substitute’s ingredients and allergen information before accepting or using it. Tesco says that, when substitutions have been allowed, an unwanted substitute can be given back to the driver or collection colleague for a refund; check the relevant process with another retailer.
Is a vegan-labelled naan suitable for someone avoiding an allergen?
A vegan label does not establish allergen suitability: Tesco’s Clay Oven Bakery plain naan lists wheat and a may-contain-soya statement. Check the exact product’s allergen information, including any substitute. Food Standards Agency guidance for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and separate Food Standards Scotland guidance describe allergen-information requirements that depend on how food is packaged and presented.
