Seoul is indeed a multicultural city, for the great delight of our taste pallet. There are many western restaurants all around Seoul from Itaewon to Hongdae. In this article, I will be sharing with you my favorite Indian food places in Seoul.
Agra
Agra is an Indian restaurant with various branches all around Seoul. It is sophisticated and offers some fusion food as well as authentic Indian dishes.
I personally like to have their Lunch set which consists of curry, rice, and Naan bread with a drink for the price of around 19,000KRW. They have various curry options, my favorite is the Butter chicken Murgh Makhani which is good if you want a start with Indian food tasting.
They also have fancier sets if you go to the one located in Jamsilโs Lotte mall.
2. Indic slow
I discovered this Indian place through a Korean blogger. They describe their restaurant as Slow food from India~
The place has an overall vibe of a western restaurant, it has traditional Indian meals as well as fusion options.
They have seasonal menus for their salads and special pizza made with Naan bread. Their latest version has strawberries, quite interesting! They also have one with avocadoes and salmon:
You can also opt for their lunch set which comes with two types of curry, Naan bread, rice, and salad:
My order: I decided to finally experiment with other types of curries so I took the vegetable one, my favorite the butter chicken, and the lamb vindaloo. They were all three rich in flavor and spices, I really enjoyed them. I am glad I gave it a try. The service is also very good in this place:
