About Our Indian Restaurant in Oaxaca
From the heart of India to the soul of Oaxaca — a restaurant born from passion
Namaste, Oaxaca.
The story of Señor Naan begins with Eleni de la Cruz and five transformative years spent living in India. Immersed in the vibrant culture of Punjab — its colors, its rituals, its extraordinary food — Eleni witnessed firsthand how deeply cuisine is woven into the fabric of Indian life. From the smoky char of tandoori chicken pulled fresh from a clay oven to the slow-simmered depth of a proper dal, she fell in love with a culinary tradition unlike anything she had experienced before.
When Eleni returned to her home city of Oaxaca, she carried those memories with her. What struck her immediately was the absence: authentic Indian food, cooked with the right spices, the right technique, and the right soul, simply did not exist here. That gap was not just a business opportunity — it was a calling. Señor Naan was born to fill it.
Filling the Gap, One Dish at a Time.
Today, Señor Naan stands as a testament to Eleni's vision: a restaurant where every dish honors the traditions she witnessed in India. We import our spices directly from their source, cook in a traditional clay Tandoor, and serve guests from around the world who come to Oaxaca seeking something genuinely different.
What We Stand For
Quality & Hygiene
Every ingredient that enters our kitchen meets strict quality standards. We source our spices directly from India, use only the freshest produce, and maintain a spotless kitchen — because great food starts with great care.
Authentic Indian Cuisine
We cook the way India cooks. Our recipes are rooted in generations of culinary tradition, our Tandoor is made of clay and fired with charcoal, and our spice blends are the real thing — never shortcuts, never compromises.
Every Guest Feels at Home
Uncompromising Authenticity
From the first simmer to the final garnish, every dish honors the flavors Eleni discovered in Punjab. We never dilute tradition — each recipe is prepared exactly as it would be in India, with patience, the right spices, and genuine technique.
Your Spice, Your Way
We know that every palate is different. Whether you prefer a gentle warmth or a fiery kick, every dish at Señor Naan can be tailored to your exact spice level — simply tell us, and our kitchen will make it perfectly yours.
The Hands Behind Every Dish
Chef Maruf

Behind every plate is a team that shares one goal: to make every guest feel like they've been transported to the streets of Punjab. From kitchen to table, the Señor Naan family puts heart into everything we do.
To every guest who has walked through our doors, ordered online, celebrated a milestone with us, or simply trusted us with a meal — thank you.
