I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this restaurant.
Boy 1 found it first and told us we needed to go - he said it was the BEST Indian food he had ever eaten.
We didn't really listen to him because well, this is the only Indian food he has ever eaten.
Then one day I was on Tripadvisor and ran across it. It was listed as the #1 Indian restaurant in Seoul. I thought to myself - 'WHAT?! Is our boy onto something?' And we planned our first date there....then our 2nd, then out 3rd and so on. It is our FAVORITE Indian Restaurant in Seoul, hands down.
The food is great, the prices are good, the service is wonderful and the chef comes out and chats with you when he has time.
First thing they bring out Papadum an Indian cracker bread of sorts. I like it dipped in the green sauce - raita - I don't think you are supposed to dip it in the green sauce, but really I love the green sauce and have been known to eat it by the spoonful.

Their tandoori chicken is the bomb. It is so moist and juicy - then slather it with raita (green sauce) and man oh man...
We have had many, many dishes here. All of which are fabulous. The chicken tikki masala is my favorite and their mutton ROCKS. The vindaloo dishes require the yogurt on the side because you will be ON FIRE. Rogan Josh is fantastic...really everything has been exceptional!
I'm writing this at 9AM and my mouth is watering. If they were open I would happily go for breakfast.
Don't get me started on the naan....the butter garlic naan....
oh baby.
I love food.
Good food.

Good food.
This last time we went the chef showered us with a few goodies....extra naan...he was trying out a cheese naan. It was good, but garlic butter naan is and always will be my favorite. At the end of our meal he brought us dessert. Brown balls in a yogurt sauce. I have no idea what they are really called, but this dessert was delicious! The brown balls were super sweet, but the sweetness was offset by the tartness of the yogurt sauce. I could have easily eaten two.
