If you haven't been to Naan and Beer, drop everything and go. My husband and I had a meal there that was nothing short of incredible! We kicked things off with the Chicken Samosa with Chaat and--OMG--mind-blowing. It was easily the best I've ever had; if I were forced to pick a favorite from the night, this would be it. We followed that up by splitting the Butter Chicken Fries (pure heaven), the Meat Combo Plate (absolutely packed with flavor), and some perfect Garlic Naan. Honestly, every single bite was a 10/10. To wash it all down, they have a fantastic beer selection with five IPAs on tap. We shared a Reuben's Brews IPA, which was the perfect crisp pairing for the spices. What really made the night, though, was the vibe. Everyone there was so incredibly nice. Our waitress/bartender was so kind and helpful, and even the chef came out to chat with us! It's rare to find that level of hospitality paired with such incredible food. What a wonderful experience! read more

I had a wonderful meal there--and was promptly served by my delightful, helpful server. The chicken samosas were very nice--the sauce, almost perfume-like (in a nice way!) I don't know which was my favorite: the absolutely silken, delicious Butter Chicken or the prawns. I am kicking myself because I don't know which prawn preparation, but it was recommended by our server and it was fantastic. The prawns were fat and juicy and perfectly cooked and, frankly, I would love them in any of their sauces. The one recommended to us was divine. For my beverage, I tried the lassi--a totally new experience for me. I was forewarned it was a salty flavor. I am not sure I would order one again due to my taste preferences, but I would say the preparation in this restaurant was probably as perfect a one as can be. So if you like lassi or want to try it, I would wholly recommend this one. read more

Today we shared 2 items, butter chicken and alo gobi, got naan bread 1. Water only to drink. The food was ok, service good. But the bill was outrageous!, with tip , total $60!!! That was lunch most lunch don't cost that much! Needless to say, we will not be back there! read more

Nice place with amazing naan! Speedy service and the portions are shareable. Really good paneer!

Took out a couple of dishes for lunch. They did an extra good job of packing, ensuring that not one drop of sauce leaked outside of the container. We duplicated our order from a restaurant in Lynden several days earlier: Okra (Bhindi) Masala and Eggplant (Baingan) Bharta. Spice level is 1-5. We got 4, which was a bit too hot for my husband's preferences, so be forewarned, it can be a bit spicy (a good think IMO). Both entrees were like entirely different dishes compared to what we got at the Lynden Indian restaurant. These dishes both had recognizable pieces of food, weren't cooked to death, nor swimming in oil. Spices seemed genuine, and delicious. We also got some roti. It was different from any roti we've had elsewhere. We were split on our opinion of whether or not it was good. I enjoyed it, but my husband thought it was too "un-Roti like", whatever that means. read more

Best service in Washington! Amazing Indian flavors and al food was cooked to perfection!!

Don't go here. With so many other authentic Indian places with good portions and fresh food why bother? Naan was obviously microwaved as it was tough and chewy. The portions are extremely small and the sauce is watered down. I had the Malai kofta- ordered it mild and it was almost too hot to eat. The Paneer pakora half order was eight dollars and you just got two little squares. I thought I was being punked when I saw what I was given after I got home. You'll get better food and more for your money elsewhere. The counter service, however, was very good. I do give them that. read more

Naan & Brew - $8 Paneer Pakora.... - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

We've had takeout from this place a few times but recently sat down for the first time. Boundary Bay across the road was packed and had a 40 minute wait that we didn't want so we sat down at Naan & Brew. It was almost empty, there was only one other couple. We regretted it. All of the following things were wrong: 1. We got nickeled and dimed. Papadams came without chutney. You want a little cup of chutney, you have to buy it. 2. Spiciness was out of whack. We ordered spiciness level 3, just like we always do, everywhere. It was extremely hot. We pointed this out to the waitress and she offered to *sell* us something to soothe it. No freebies here. 3. Food was outright salty. 4. The owner or manager was taking a call in the street and then walked back in and yelled across the room to the staff to do something for him. It didn't seem respectful, neither to us nor to the staff. On summary, no atmosphere, overpriced, over-priced, food was nothing to write home about. Looking at the other reviews, maybe it was better in the past? Not going back. read more

Authentic Indian food, cooked by genuinely lovely and friendly people. Great service. I ordered the Chicken Biryani, Aloo Gobi, and Garlic Naan, oh and a cup of Chai Tea. The portion sizes were massive. It was so delicious. I knew I was full but I just kept saying "one more mouthful, just one more bite!" I ate waaay too much, I could hardly walk when I left, and even then I had enough for two more meals, which I took to eat at home. If you love real Indian Food, this is the place for you. The ambience was relaxed. The food was fragrant, aromatic, plentiful. Each mouthful bursting with lashings of flavor. Absolutely wonderful. I will be back. I want to try everything on the menu. This is now my number one restaurant in Bellingham. read more

Naan & Brew - Delicious! - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

The food is amazing! We had naan, chicken Tikka masala and a cauliflower dish. The service was excellent. It was a cold night and the room was not adequately heated so everyone was wearing their coats. I saw this place is efficiently operated. With some lamps or ambient lighting, in addition to turning up the heat to warm up the atmosphere, it would be a better eat-in location, which is prime. Great for take out!! read more

By far the best Indian food in our region. I have had numerous dishes here and they are all incredible. Service is outstanding as well. Can't wait to go back! read more

Ordered for takeout and they said food would take 15 minutes. Straight up lie. Not busy at all but still took 40 minutes to receive food. Came home and half my order was missing. Called to try and get a refund and they said I had to drive back to receive it. Like I'm going out of my way to get a refund when THEY forgot my food. Scam artists. read more

*chef's kiss* group of nine for dinner and everything was amazing! All things said at the table- can't get enough of it! Can I have more? Excellent service! Scrumdiddlyuptious . Great portion size. TASTY! A no leftovers restaurant. Food comma. We could go on and on!! Pakoras, butter chicken, mango chicken, naan, aloo gobi and more. So delicious and a great place to visit over a fantastic meal!! read more

Naan & Brew - Absolutely amazing! Lamb Karahi, mango chicken, butter chicken, garlic naan, rice. We also had Chicken Pakoras and Mango Lassi. Outstanding! - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

Hands down the best Indian food in B'ham. Consistent quality, extensive menu, good service, and delightful food. Full bar and lots of options on tap. Well managed and kind staff. read more

Loved this place! The waitress was so kind and warm to our family. The food was excellent, we were really impressed by the flavors and authenticity. If a friend were coming to town, this is the type of place I would like to take them. The ambiance was laid back and casual. The food came out quickly. Our favorite dish was the chicken tikka masala. We also had an EXCELLENT coconut porter, and I could have bathed in it and drank the stuff afterwards and been as happy as a pig in poo. 10/10 will be back. read more

I have to agree with all the other reviewers the garlic naan was very tasty and I got a side of the yogurt sauce it too was very tasty. The staff was very friendly and my order was ready promptly on time I did get it to go. I ordered the lamb then deliver and like another reviewer said if you asked for it spicy you're going to get it spicy which is not normal so beware!!! There really was very little protein in the sauce and more potatoes but there weren't many potatoes either the ratio should have been a little higher of protein and potatoes in the sauce, the vindaloo sauce was excellent and again spicy however I did ask for it spicy. read more

Had lunch at this lovely place today and enjoyed the food so much! We ate every last bite of our chicken curry and garlic Naan. Highly reccommend. read more

Their lunch buffet is one of the best values in town. It's only $10.99, including freshly baked naan, dessert (rice pudding), and chai. They serve 6 different kinds of entrees along with vegetables pakoras and rice in the buffet (my photo). A couple of minor differences since I visited here last time (about 2years ago). The lunch buffet price changed from $9.99 to $10.99, only a $1.00 increase. They used to charge a $1.00 extra for garlic naan, but there's no extra charge. So, in terms of the price, it hasn't essentially changed since 2017! I would not say the quality of the food is top notch, but, the given the price and the selection, their lunch buffet is really great. Also, I like the fact that they ask their customers to only take what they will eat. It's just the right thing to do. Parking: Metered street parking (not difficult) Payment: All major credit cards, including Discover and American Express. ***************************** If you found something useful in my review, please hit "useful" to let me know.

One of my top 5 restaurants in Bellingham. The food is always super tasty and fresh. The service is great. I love their chicken tikka masala, naan, and samosas. If you like Indian food, you've love this place. read more

Very flavorful, could eat a lot of the naan. Good size portions too took about 1/3 of my meal home

Food okay. Service just okay. Environment was poor. They seemed to want to rush us out although it wasn't closing time.

Some pretty solid Indian food for white people. Zero spice level but nice flavor. I personally wanted to be kicked in the teeth with spice when I ordered the lamb vindaloo, but was disappointed in that regard. Aloo gobi was also tasty but no heat. If I return I'll ask them to go heavy on the spice. read more

Great tasting Indian food, I will definitely come back the next time I'm around. Service was nice and easy. read more

Used to be a lot better. Portions are small and the flavor or quality isn't there anymore. What happened N&B. Taste of india is where its at now. They never disappoint. read more

The food at this place is amaaaaaaazing. My friend got the lamb tikka masala and I the chicken saffron. Both were superb. The gravies were nice and thick and packed with flavor and the meats were very tender. The rice is nice and fluffy and the garlic naan cooked just right. The mango lassi was good but a bit overpriced at $6.99 imho, I think I'll skip that next time. I'm not a drinker but it looked like the bar was well stocked and they offered a decent list of beers on tap. The service was fine. I felt bad because there was only one waitress for the whole restaurant, but she remained cheerful and courteous and the wait for everything wasn't bad at all, so it might have been an off-night were someone called in or something. I will definitely be back and am recommending this place to anyone who likes good Indian! read more

Seriously delicious! The samosas and tikka masala are absolutely delicious I can hardly get enough! Full bar if you choose to eat inside which I think is great! Nothing I love more than getting a little tipsy and eating some very delicious naan! Portion are fantastic especially if you like saving half for leftovers! I know I do! seriously delicious! read more

Absolutely the worst customer service! I made an order through Uber Eats to be delivered. I ordered my son the kids butter chicken. My Uber driver contacted me after leaving the restaurant to say they would not fulfill the order because they don't "do that" and they were unable to refund me the money. She said the call Mike the manager. I called Mike who went on to cut me off multiple times while talking, told me it was my job to try and get my money back from Uber and proceeded to hang up on me. I know good Indian food is hard to find but being disrespected and stolen from by Mike the manager is NOT ok. read more

SO yummy. Visiting from California where there is lots of great Indian food. This was the best I've had in a long time. Fresh, hot, flavorful and delicious. Definitely a new favorite when craving Indian food. Great service too! read more

Clean restaurant with excellent butter chicken and chicken tika massala. Best in Bellingham we feel.

The food was good, but no naan included with the Channa just doesnt seem right. $25 for Channa, side Pikora fried fritters, and having to pay for naan is too steep. Very good food, value can improve, this was a $15 meal. read more

This place is fantastic. We've visited several times and it's consistently great food and service. Their cocktails are lovely as well. This time we got the Saffron Chicken spice level 3 was phenomenal and so flavorful! And the paneer tikka masala spice level 4 (hot but so yummy!). Their naan is perfect with the mint chutney. And! Their serving sizes allow us to get two or three meals from each dish. Highly recommend read more

Naan & Brew - paneer tikka masala, naan, chicken saffron - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

a ate here several years ago and the food was great. Not so much this time. our naan came out along with my partner's entree. Mine did not come out until long after my partner finished. I got to enjoy mine with cold singed naan. The entree was over salted. Driving away me stomach started to gurgle. I had a mild case of food poisoning. I won't be back. read more

The ambience is good and the staff are friendly. They are family friendly and have high chairs for children. We ordered Shahi Paneer, Daal Makhani and Garlic Naan The Shahi Paneer was delicious - soft fresh paneer in a creamy mild 'sauce' The Garlic Naan was freshly baked. The Daal Makhani was more like lentil soup, but was flavorful. read more

We've been on the hunt for great Indian food in Bellingham and the searching stops here. Naan and Brew is so delicious, rich and I could eat the naan every day for the rest of my life! We had the butter chicken and tikka masala chicken, both were tasty. The couple running the restaurant were wonderful and obviously very hard workers. Can't wait to come back here soon! read more

Don't go here for the ambiance, go here for the food. We paid a little more for the lamb vindaloo than other equally yummy Indian places, and it wasn't as hot as our waitress suggested, so if you are used to hot, hot Indian food, a 3 out of 5 is tooooooo low. However, where this place earns STARS is for the tender baa baa! This is the tenderest lamb I've ever had, and technically because I'm old, that is actually saying something! I also had the Daal Tarka. What's that you say? Check out the photo of creamy lentils. Delicious taste, just a tad too few lentils, but nonetheless very tasty. Place that yummy food over their basmati rice, and it is a meal fit for a ... well, anyone! Plain naan is just downright plain goodness. We missed the happy hour by a minute or two, and I also missed having a mango lassi because alas I was once again stuffed at the end of an excellent Indian meal. read more

Naan & Brew - Daal Tarka (lentils) - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

They have a select few beers on tap and I decided to try the porter. It is brewed locally at Oak Harbor and if you enjoy porter this will be just right to complement your meal. The decor is very minimalist. This may or may not appeal to you. (But you did come for great Indian food, right!) We arrived right as happy hour was ending and the restaurant was almost totally full. That's probably a good sign. Our meal consisted of two entrees, Lamb Vindaloo and Daal Tarka with a side of naan. An excellent choice. We ordered the Vindaloo at a level three for spicy. I could have easily had this dish hotter. The Daal Tarka was wonderful although it could have contained a few more lentils. The naan was delicious. We were greeted immediately we arrived and were seated promptly. The waitress was attentive and let me try a sample of my beer before I ordered it. Definitely worth another visit. I highly recommend this Indian restaurant. read more

Oh my! This is the kind of place you want to keep to yourself. The service was superb, and even felt above and beyond. Super friendly staff, and they keep the fresh naan coming to the table. We tried their lunch buffet. It was small and simple with few options, but the options that were there knocked our socks off. If I could add an item it would be samosa. Other than that it was all super fresh and the flavors were fabulous. The place is small, and I think we just walked in at the right time, but saw others after us waiting for a table to free up. read more

You know a place is good when it's on your list of places to revisit before you leave town for good. Furthermore it's one of those places I found myself thinking about and wishing I could find a replica of in my new city where I moved. What makes it unique? First off, it's a modern restaurant with sleek furniture and decor. We've all been to the type of place with sitar music playing, incense burning and staff decked out in salwar suits to give you a sense of arriving in Mumbai, but this IS NOT that place. Instead, you'll find a nice bar with several local beers on tap. The music playing in the background is contemporary Western hits you will recognize. A flat screen TV airs the latest American sports. The furnishings could easily be from any American cafe in town. Although this seems ordinary for a restaurant, it's not ordinary for an Indian restaurant, which is one of the reasons I liked it. They are not trying to sell you on the whole Indian experience. The focus is the food and the attentive customer service. The Indian food served here is plentiful and delicious whether you come day or night. However, I recommend coming during the day (before 3pm) so you can take advantage of the lunch buffet. It's not a huge buffet, but there are still a variety of dishes to try. They vary each day. The wait staff will bring drinks and naan to your table. Those items are included with the cost of the lunch buffet. In the evenings you'll need to order everything ala carte. Each dish is a lot of food to tackle at night, so bring friends to share the meal family style. There are a variety of naan offerings on the menu. You'll want to try a different one each time you go. When you leave, be sure to stop and grab a palm full of sprinkles. The mukhwas or candy coated fennel and anise seeds supposedly freshen your breath and help with digestion. I find the brightly colored mix a fun way to cap your meal. Enjoy! read more

There is lots of parking within walking distance and staff was friendly. I don't remember the name of what I got but it was good and I ate the Naan before I got a picture it smelled to good to wait. Will definitely be back. read more

Naan & Brew - The salad I got don't remember the name - Indian Near Me - Bellingham, Washington

I've been to Naan & Brew for lunch a couple of times now, and I love the concept! Rich, spicy Indian food and tasty craft beers - what's not to love? It's the perfect addition to downtown Bham, and has been attracting quite the crowd to their tasty lunch buffet. I especially enjoy the veggie pakoras with their deep-fried crispiness on the outside and their tender, delicious insides. The tandoori chicken is also delicious; very tender and perfectly seasoned. Give me a plate of this and some basmati rice and I'm in heaven! The buffet also includes your choice of plain or garlic naan. I prefer the garlic because, hello, garlic! The service is super friendly here, too, and they have a full bar (including some yummy-sounding concoctions) if beer isn't your thing. I was a little surprised that they'd raised the buffet price considerably between my two visits - $10.99 seems steep to me for lunch. It's delicious, though! Parking can be a hassle, so be patient. :) read more
