Savoury brunch hosts
If naan will accompany savoury toppings or dips, choose a flavour that fits the menu, then check how many pieces you can warm for your guests.
Who is this for?
Sweet-and-savoury brunch hosts
If you want peshwari alongside savoury food, check the fruit-and-coconut ingredients and the storage directions for the particular pack.
Shoppers checking dietary requirements
Read the exact pack’s ingredients and allergen declaration. The Food Standards Agency advises that a vegan label is not a substitute for allergen information.
What matters when choosing?
Start with the flavour you want on the table, then check whether the pack size and preparation instructions fit your brunch plans.
| Priority | What to check | Your needs |
|---|---|---|
| Flavour | Check whether the pack is garlic and coriander, fruit-and-coconut peshwari, or plain. Read the ingredients of the exact product. | I’m serving savoury toppings, or I’d like a sweeter naan alongside them. |
| Premium description | Look for specific recipe or preparation details rather than treating a range name as a taste result. Sainsbury’s describes its Taste the Difference naan as hand-stretched and flame-baked; that description is not a comparative taste test. | I want to know what distinguishes this pack before choosing a premium-labelled option. |
| Portions and planning | Compare both piece count and pack weight. Check whether the naan needs refrigeration, how it should be warmed and how the opened pack should be stored. | There needs to be enough naan to serve warm, and I may be shopping before Sunday. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the current pack’s ingredient and allergen declarations. As the Food Standards Agency advises, do not use a vegan description in place of an allergen check. | I need to establish whether the particular naan is suitable for the people eating it. |
What should you avoid assuming?
-
That “premium” proves better taste
A premium-labelled listing can describe a recipe or preparation method, but it does not establish how that naan tastes compared with another.
Choose the flavour, ingredients and format you want rather than treating the range name as a taste-test result.
-
That similarly named naans have the same recipe
M&S lists separate 380 g and 200 g garlic-and-coriander products with different ingredient lists.
Check the weight and current label of the pack you intend to serve before relying on its ingredients or storage directions.
-
That every pack can be stored the same way
The named products include refrigerated and ambient-stored options, with different directions for opened packs and freezing.
Choose a pack you can store and use according to its own label before and after Sunday brunch.
For example, Asda’s listing for Riya’s peshwari naan says to use it within 24 hours of opening, which matters if you plan to keep leftovers.
Brand and product-line references
These examples show why the particular naan matters more than a retailer or range name when comparing recipes and storage needs.
Sainsbury’s
Its Taste the Difference garlic-and-coriander two-pack is a refrigerated option for a savoury menu.
- Sainsbury’s describes the 280 g pack as hand-stretched, flame-baked and prepared to a vegan recipe.
- It requires refrigeration; check its heating directions and allergen declaration rather than relying on the vegan description alone.
M&S
M&S lists distinct 380 g and 200 g garlic-and-coriander naan products.
- M&S describes the 380 g product as hand-stretched and flame-baked and lists ghee among its ingredients.
- The 200 g product has a different ingredient list, so check which pack’s recipe and directions apply.
Waitrose
Its listed garlic-and-coriander and peshwari naans offer savoury and fruit-and-coconut choices.
- Waitrose lists each as a two-naan, 220 g pack; its peshwari description specifies sultanas and desiccated coconut.
- Check each product’s own ingredients, heating and storage instructions rather than applying one variety’s directions to the other.
Asda
Asda lists Riya’s premium-labelled peshwari two-pack, made with raisins and coconut.
- The Riya’s listing specifies storage in a cool, dry place below 25°C.
- It says to use the naan within 24 hours of opening. Riya’s is the product brand, not an Asda own-label naan.
Tesco
Tesco’s naan category lists plain, mini and Tesco Finest wild-garlic formats.
- The listed formats give you a choice between plain naan, smaller pieces and a flavoured option.
- Check the individual product and pack for its full ingredients and preparation directions.

Common questions
How should I warm naan for brunch?
Follow the directions on the pack you buy. Sainsbury’s gives oven and grill directions for its refrigerated garlic-and-coriander naan, while Asda lists grill, microwave and oven methods for Riya’s peshwari naan; one product’s instructions should not be applied to another.
Can I buy naan ahead and freeze it?
Check the date and freezing directions for the exact product. M&S says to freeze its 380 g garlic-and-coriander naan by the date shown and use it within three months; Waitrose’s peshwari listing gives a one-month period.
Does a vegan description answer an allergy question?
No. Sainsbury’s describes its garlic-and-coriander naan as prepared to a vegan recipe, but that does not replace an allergen check. The Food Standards Agency advises people with food hypersensitivities to check allergen information and cross-contamination risks.
Are best-before and use-by dates interchangeable?
No. The Food Standards Agency explains that food past its best-before date may have deteriorated in quality, while use-by dates are applied to highly perishable foods. Read the date and storage directions on the naan pack you have rather than treating the two labels alike.
