The naan bread shop.
  • tosscat

    I'm fascinated by the naan bread shop that's opened on Blackstock Road. Has anyone been? They appear to sell nothing but naan bread.

  • warbplag

    Yes.. Have been there.. Very tasty naan. Garlic and plain- its great.

    I bet they said that about Starbucks when it first opened. "It only sells coffee - it'll never last"

    It's excellent warm bread, goes very well with stews and tagines!

  • boxrunner

    @andy imagine that, a naan bread shop on every corner in London.  The mind boggles.... :-)

    I went in and asked if they did a Peshwari Naan - the one with almonds - guy looked at me as if I was insane.

    Couldn't be bothered to ask if they had a keema naan and left somewhat baffled by why my request was so unreasonable.

    It's awesome.

    Been there for ages hasn't it?

  • tosscat

    Has it? I must cycle around in a daze.

  • Mirandola

    Only opened a few months ago I thought

  • IlovegreyhoundsIlovegreyhounds

    I think it has been open at least a year....

  • berrynice

    It has been open since at least last July.  I live around the corner.

  • Peter Crumb

    Yeah the naans there are tasty. I wonder if they specalise in wholesale?

    They are lovely, I think I posted on here about it last summer so there must be another thread somewhere. A quick easy meal is some of the breads from that shop, a freshly roasted chicken and some avocados, olives, salad and couscous from the Algerian butchers/deli on Blackstock rd. I work some Saturdays in Stokey and often pick this up on the way home and they are still nice and warm by the time I've cycled back. I went in once and got 4 but only had a £20 note and the man let me off with the £1. I tried to give it to him next time I went but he wouldn't let me pay, and now when I go in he always seems to give me 5 instead of 4!

    I've only been there once - they had loads of nans sitting there on the counter but made two fresh ones for me. Very friendly chaps. I do wonder whether they make any money though. Perhaps it's a front for something.

    What, like the Tiller Girls, you mean?

    And I always thought it was spelled Tilla ... but, apparently not, being named after John Tiller.
