Meanings

1. A sandwich made with naan bread.
   • The slightly messy naanwiches are more like a pocket sandwich, the kathi rolls are convenient wraps, one served with egg and caramelized onions, and don't miss the potato-stuffed paratha sandwiches. 2009, Justin Schwartz, Veg Out! New York City, page 67:
   • Sara, microwaving a naanwich, had answered with a breathy, unsteady voice, as if winded from weeks of preparing her greeting's cheery nonchalance. 2016, Dylan Hicks, Amateurs: A Novel:
   • This is one of the reasons why Indian street fare like chaats and rolls has gained popularity. The rolls have now transformed themselves into hybrid versions globally, like naanwiches and chapattitacos. Indian restaurants are now serving newer avatars of popular Indian dishes for the next generation of Indians as well as other residents. And this holds true not only for regular restaurants that serve Indian food. Street stalls to subway cafeterias to Michelin-starred restaurants, Indian food and ingredients have made an impact on the larger gastronomical map. 2016 March 31, Dr Ramesh Kumar Miryala, Dr Jayaprakash Narayana Gade, “Gastronomic Tourism – An Effective Marketing Tool for Indian Tourism Industry”, in Responsible Tourism & Human Accountability for Sustainable Business, Zenon Academic Publishing, →ISBN, page 80:
