Read guide →Indian restaurants in Seoul cater to the city's international community as well as Koreans who have developed a strong appetite for curry, naan, and tandoor-grilled dishes.

Itaewon has the highest concentration of Indian restaurants, though they have spread across the city as Korean interest in South Asian cuisine has grown.
Dobong-gu in northern Seoul is a predominantly residential district adjacent to Dobongsan Mountain.
