Best Naan in Saskatoon: Fresh, Authentic Naan Made In-House Daily

Real naan isn't just flatbread. It's a careful process that starts with proper dough preparation—flour, yogurt, a touch of oil, and time to let it rise. The dough gets slapped against the walls of a screaming-hot tandoor oven where it cooks in minutes, developing those signature air bubbles and char marks that tell you it's the real thing.

Most restaurants either buy frozen naan or make big batches in the morning that sit around all day. Not here. At Dynamic Duo, naan is made to order throughout service hours. You can smell it the moment you walk in—that smoky, slightly yeasty aroma that means someone just pulled a fresh batch from the tandoor.

Why Our Naan Stands Out

Naan is right there in our name: Dynamic Duo House of Naan & Curry. It's not an afterthought or a side item—it's one of our signature offerings, and we take it seriously.

The difference comes down to three things: fresh dough made daily, cooking in a traditional clay tandoor oven, and proper technique. Our kitchen team has years of experience working with tandoor ovens, and they know exactly how long each naan needs based on thickness and type. Too short and it's doughy. Too long and it's crisp instead of tender.

The result is naan that's pillowy soft in the center with a slight chew, charred in just the right spots, and substantial enough to scoop up curry without falling apart. It arrives at your table warm, often with a light brush of ghee that adds richness without making it greasy.

Our Naan Varieties

We offer several types of naan, each with its own purpose and following:

Plain Naan: This is the baseline—simple, versatile, and the best way to judge a restaurant's naan quality. Our plain naan has a subtle tang from the yogurt in the dough and a tender texture that makes it perfect for soaking up butter chicken, dal makhani, or any curry on our menu. Some people order it just to eat on its own.

Butter Naan: Same base as the plain naan, but finished with a generous brush of melted butter (or ghee, depending on preference). The butter adds richness and a slight sheen, and it keeps the naan soft even as it cools. This is our most popular option, especially with families ordering for delivery.

Garlic Naan: This is the one people get passionate about. Fresh garlic and cilantro pressed into the dough before it goes into the tandoor, then brushed with butter when it comes out. The garlic softens and caramelizes slightly in the intense heat, giving you a punchy, aromatic naan that pairs beautifully with richer curries like palak paneer or chicken tikka masala. Fair warning: you'll smell like garlic for the rest of the day, and you won't care.

All three varieties come out of the same tandoor oven, but the garlic naan requires extra attention—you have to press the garlic mixture into the surface right before slapping it onto the oven wall, and you need to watch the timing closely so the garlic doesn't burn.

How We Make Our Naan

Tandoor ovens run hot—around 480-500°C (900°F). At that temperature, naan cooks fast, usually 90 seconds to two minutes. The high heat is what creates those characteristic bubbles and char marks. It's also what makes the bread puff up and develop that slightly crispy exterior while staying soft inside.

Our dough rests for several hours before service, giving the yeast time to do its work. Proper resting is crucial—it's what makes the naan tender rather than tough. Each piece of dough gets stretched by hand into an oval shape (not perfectly round, which is how you know it's handmade), then slapped against the inner wall of the tandoor using a special cushioned paddle.

The bread sticks to the clay wall and cooks from both the direct heat of the charcoal below and the radiant heat from the oven walls. You can see it puff and bubble as it cooks. After about 90 seconds, the cook uses long metal tongs to peel it off the wall, checks for doneness, and sends it out.

This process happens over and over throughout the day. During busy dinner service, we're making naan almost continuously to keep up with orders. It's physical work—standing next to a tandoor oven on a warm summer day is no joke—but it's the only way to serve naan the way it should be served: fresh, hot, and made to order.

Pairing Naan with Our Curries

Naan isn't just a side—it's how you eat the meal. In traditional Indian dining, you tear off a piece of naan and use it to scoop up curry, rice, and vegetables. It replaces the fork and adds its own flavour and texture to each bite.

At Dynamic Duo, our curries are made for naan. The sauces have the right consistency—thick enough to cling to the bread but not so thick they're gloppy. From butter chicken to vegetarian korma to chicken tikka masala, a side of naan turns the meal into something more interactive and satisfying.

Garlic naan works particularly well with creamy curries—the sharpness of the garlic cuts through the richness of the sauce. Plain or butter naan is better with spicier dishes where you don't want competing flavours. And if you're ordering biryani, naan on the side gives you a textural contrast to the rice.

We also offer naan as part of our delivery and takeout orders. It travels well if you eat it within 20-30 minutes. If it cools down, a quick warm-up in a dry pan or the oven (not the microwave, which makes it rubbery) brings it mostly back to life.

Fresh Ingredients, Traditional Methods

Everything at Dynamic Duo is made from scratch using traditional recipes and methods. That applies to our curries, our tandoori dishes, and especially our naan. We don't use pre-made dough or shortcuts. The ingredients are simple—flour, water, yogurt, yeast, salt, a bit of sugar, and oil—but the technique matters.

Our kitchen team brings decades of combined experience working with tandoor ovens and traditional Indian cooking methods. The result is food that tastes authentic because it's made the way it would be made in Punjab or Delhi—just here on Idylwyld Drive in Saskatoon.

Quality ingredients help, too. We use high-quality flour and fresh garlic (not garlic powder or pre-minced stuff from a jar). Small details like that add up to naan that actually tastes like something rather than just serving as an edible utensil.

Order Fresh Naan for Delivery or Takeout

You can order our naan as part of any meal for delivery or takeout through our online ordering system. We deliver to most Saskatoon neighbourhoods, including Mayfair, City Park, Caswell Hill, River Heights, and more.

For the best experience, plan to eat your naan while it's still warm. If you're ordering for a group, we recommend one naan per person as a baseline—more if people really love bread, which is common. Garlic naan tends to go fast, so order extra if you want leftovers.

If you're dining in at our Idylwyld location, you can watch the naan being made if you sit near the open kitchen area. There's something satisfying about seeing your food being prepared right in front of you, especially when it involves fire and high temperatures.
