Consistently been to Naan & Brew the last few years and would hands down mark them as one of the best places for Indian food in BHAM! Quality is consistently high with a variety of delicious options (including some great vegetarian/gluten-free dishes) and we always have great service when we come here!

Menu Faves: Garlic naan, veggie samosas, chicken samosas, veggie pakoras, paneer pakoras, butter chicken, chicken tikka, lamb palak, channa masala & coconut chicken curry.
Definitely a must-try here in town!

The food was flavorful, not greasy, and tasted fresh.
The lone server never smiled, barely talked but was efficient. It was funny to hear them laugh and be chatty with a friend who came in. A bit of that cheer and grace towards the dinners would have been welcome.

I love the casual atmosphere, and I especially love that they eliminated the problem I've had at many other Indian restaurants where the check takes forever to arrive, by having customers pay at the counter when ready. Yay!
Everything we ordered was spectacular - even the entrees that were ordered with minimal "spice". Really lovely rich flavors. We had the paneer tikka masala, shahi paneer, aloo gobi, and the channa masala. I normally am not a fan of channa masala but I really like theirs - the beans are well-cooked, not mealy, and the sauce is thick. We also had a couple good beers - Boundary Bay Scotch Ale and Kulshan Octoberfest. Naan & Brew is now our favorite Indian restaurant in Bellingham!

I love the idea of mixing indian cuisine with a sports bar! It was made even better by being amazingly delicious!! The setting was great. I only gave it four stars for the atmosphere because there was an echo between two of the TVs. Everything else was outstanding!!
After asking the server for a suggestion, I ordered the lamb tikka masala, heat level 3 out of 5. I can handle a good amount of heat, but know my limits. It certainly cleared my sinuses, which, for me, was perfect. I also ordered plain naan and a Black Raven coconut porter.
The service was fast, and the quantity was plentiful. The lamb was tender and juicey and drenched in the BEST tikka masala sauce I've ever had. It was fragrant, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Seriously, yummy!! The naan was light, crispy, and made for the perfect scoop for rice, lamb, and sauce. After the naan was gone, I still had enough lamb and sauce to eat with a spoon. The porter was nice and rich with a smooth coconut-chocolate flavor.
If you like indian cuisine or have been curious to try it, I highly recommend Naan and Brew!! You'll be glad you did ?

This was our go to Indian restaurant for butter chicken. Now the quality is terrible and doesn’t even taste like butter chicken. It’s extremely runny and tastes fishy, like shrimp scampi. Very disappointed!
The initial service starts with the host quickly directing you to your table, be it yelling from across the restaurant. A sign that this isn't a chain restaurant and they treat people like family showing up for dinner right on time. The food was perfect! I've eaten Indian food across the US and across Europe, I make it a point to try it everywhere. The spice level was perfect, it wasn't overly creamy, while still on par with the dish. Spice level of 1-5, I did a 4 out of fear for five being too hot. 4 was perfect, didn't ruin the dish but made it notably spicy! (I enjoy very spicy things) The perfect "This is so spicy, but I can't stop eating it" level of Indian I look for.

My husband and I check out Indian restaurants in every new city- whether it’s in the US or internationally. We’ve had some great experiences- and this was one of them! Authentic flavor and spice. Kind, prompt service. We would visit again and again.
