Naughty Naan Tandoori Kitchen & Bar is a lively Indian dining option in Hamilton's central Victoria Street precinct. The restaurant brings together regional recipes and contemporary presentation, while keeping the tandoor central to its identity. Guests can book a table for a full meal, collect a takeaway or arrange delivery, so the same broad menu works for a spontaneous curry night and a longer group dinner. The name is playful, but the range behind it is serious, stretching from street-food snacks to breads, biryanis and slow-cooked gravies.
Small plates are a good way to see how widely the kitchen travels. Pani puri combines crisp shells with potato, chickpeas, tamarind and spiced mint water, while samosa chaat layers mint, yoghurt, tamarind and fresh vegetables over the familiar pastry. The tandoor adds another dimension through pickled paneer tikka, stuffed mushrooms, classic chicken tikka, Afghani-style chicken, lamb cutlets and prawns. Those preparations use yoghurt, ginger, garlic, nuts, herbs and spices in different combinations rather than relying on one all-purpose marinade.
The curry selection balances recognisable favourites with dishes that have more distinct regional profiles. Butter chicken and chicken tikka masala share space with Delhi-style bone-in chicken, Punjabi goat curry, lamb rogan josh and a Goan fish curry built around coconut cream, curry leaves and mustard seed. Vegetarians can move from overnight-cooked black lentils to garlic-and-spinach paneer, okra with onion and tomato, or malai kofta in cashew gravy. That range makes it straightforward to assemble a table with contrasting heat, texture and richness.
Bread and rice deserve their own planning here rather than serving as automatic extras. Rumali roti, tandoori roti and a long list of stuffed or flavoured naans sit alongside vegetable, chicken, lamb and goat biryanis. The dessert list keeps the Indian thread going with pistachio, mango and malai kulfi, gulab jamun, and a chocolate naan paired with vanilla ice cream. For a rounded meal, diners can start with chaat, choose one tandoor dish and a curry, then use the breads and cooling desserts to shape the pace of the evening.
