I found Japanese Indian food to be an acquired taste; I eventually did acquire it, but it's kind of its own thing. I doubt the place I'm thinking of is still in the basement of SLS, since that was more than a decade ago, but they advertised "Pakistani-Afghanistan" food and the big burly guy who punched the naan then threw it directly into the tandoor. In addition to Singapore and Japan, I've also had naan in India and many other places... Eventually I'll have my own tandoor.

Even if I'd missed the naan in Japan, my experience with Japanese Mexican food alone would have left me somewhat skeptical of your claim. b^)

Frankly, I've never had good naan in Singapore or even India (Bangalore, Delhi), but I haven't explored those places as much as Japan. I guess it depends on what you are looking for, but Japanese naan is huge and fluffy. There are tons of Indian people in Japan, even in small cities like Gifu, and all the restaurants tend to be family style affairs (as opposed to China, where the cook is probably Chinese...grrr....).

I'm not really a big fan of central Asian naan (too hard, not fluffy), but we have a local variation of that here from Xinjiang.
