Food Style? Stuffed Naans

I’ve finished Tuesday night badminton and I’m super hungry. Naan and Chai have three locations in the GTA and the closest one to me is on Queen West, near Trinity Bellwoods. They’re known for their very photogenic yet delicious stuffed naans, both savoury and sweet. They’re one of the few places open past 9pm on a Tuesday night, so may as well pay them a visit.

Chicken Malai Boti Naan: Naan stuffed with roasted chicken marinated with cream and mild spices
When it comes out, I’m a bit surprised at the actual bread. It’s not really fluffy or soft like traditional naan, it’s more like a crispy pastry similar to a pie crust. The filling is delicious though, and the mango salsa (which is more like a chutney) balances the saltiness of the marinade with a bit of sweetness. However, the chicken is a tad dry and that texture is slightly unpleasant. Overall, a decent meal if you’re in a rush or want something unpretentious and straightforward.
