Indian Restaurant in Seoul

I really like this picture. The lady taking the Eunmi’s order is Indian I think. Some of the other servers actually look a  Korean, especially since they spoke Korean Eunmi explained to me that they are Nepalese. Nepalese people sometimes look both Asian and Indian. Eunmi is pretty well traveled and has been to both India and Nepal.

Eunmi recommended Everest Restaurant as the best Indian food in Seoul. She said it was the real deal – genuine Indian food. A lot of the Indian restaurants in Korea are fancy with gilded gold plates and a lot of nonsense that doesn’t matter when you want to just eat good food.

I was very impressed with this restaurant. The food was awesome, the staff was very friendly (spoke both Korean and English). The Bollywood movies they play are entertaining.

Dead give-away its a good restaurant?

-hard to find

-not fancy, bare-bones decorations

-lots of locals

Not only that, it was located in a bad neighborhood, but it was still full of happy customers.

We ordered some nan, chicken tikka masala, and red curry chicken.

Close-up of the chicken tikka masala. Probably my favorite. It was flavorful and all good quality chicken.

The samosa was good as well.

Time zones. Notice the partial hour differences in the time zones. I never knew that. I thought all time zones differences were hourly.
