Have to say I have never seen a Naan Tree in my life and hadn't heard of it until just now, and I eat a lot of curries (most likely meal choice when I eat out), maybe it's not made its way to my area?
RIP though.

New to me as well. Also a curry fan.

Same. But go well, fella.

Naan trees are rubbish/great for dates - they block your view of your dining companion

I heard he had a dodgy tikka. Apparently, he had heart attack and slipped into a korma.

I've only ever seen them when I've eaten in Akbars. It's pretty awesome, but not common.

We had one when we went to Akhbars (in Manchester I think)

Am sure it was called family naan though

The first time I experienced the naan tree was a moment of such childish glee. What a thing to have invented. Sadly gluten intolerance has removed that joy from my life.

A man has died, it's no time to be rogan joshing!
