The Art of Indian Bread: Naan, Roti, and More in Altea

No Indian meal is truly complete without bread. At Indian Elephant Restaurant in Altea, our freshly baked breads are made to order in our traditional tandoor oven, and they are the perfect companion to every curry, tikka, and dal on our menu. Whether you tear off a piece to scoop up a rich sauce or enjoy it on its own with a smear of butter, our breads are a highlight of any visit.

Our classic Garlic Naan is one of the most popular choices at every table. Soft, pillowy dough is stretched by hand and pressed against the scorching walls of the tandoor, where it puffs up and develops a beautiful char in just minutes. We finish it with a generous spread of garlic butter and fresh coriander. The aroma alone is enough to make your mouth water.

For those who prefer something lighter, our Tandoori Roti is a wonderful option. Made with whole wheat flour and cooked without any oil or butter, it has a wholesome, earthy flavour that pairs beautifully with our lentil dishes and vegetable curries. It is simple, honest, and deeply satisfying.

If you are looking for something a little more indulgent, try our Peshwari Naan. This bread is stuffed with a sweet filling of coconut, almonds, and sultanas, then baked until golden. It is a favourite with families and adds a lovely contrast when served alongside spicier dishes like our Chicken Vindaloo or Lamb Madras.

Our Keema Naan takes things in a savoury direction, filled with seasoned minced lamb and fragrant spices. Each bite delivers warmth and depth, making it almost a meal in itself. Pair it with a cooling raita and a side of pickles for the perfect combination.

At Indian Elephant Restaurant, we believe that bread is not just an accompaniment but an essential part of the dining experience. Every piece is made fresh, with care and tradition, right here in the heart of Altea. Visit us at Carrer Consol 11, Altea. Open daily 13:00 to 23:00. Book your table today.
