What Naan is
Leavened flatbread baked in a tandoor, brushed with butter.
Naan is listed as a bakery item in the Pakistan guide, where the index tags it vegetarian and mild. Treat those labels as a menu translation rather than the full picture. Portion size, garnish and cooking method change from one counter to the next, and so does the price.
Where to find Naan
Naan is listed as nationwide rather than tied to one city, so it is a safe thing to look for wherever you land in Pakistan. Bakeries sell out early, so go in the morning and follow the queue rather than the signboard.
The Pakistan guide also covers 5 dishes and 2 bakery items; open the country page for the full menu and the other places in the index.
