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. Many are run by Indian or Nepalese chefs who source spices directly from South Asia. Itaewon has the highest concentration of Indian restaurants, though they have spread across the city as Korean interest in South Asian cuisine has grown.
Nowon-gu in northeastern Seoul is a large residential district known for its community-focused dining culture. Local restaurants here serve the kinds of meals families eat daily — doenjang jjigae, guk-based soups, grilled fish — without the theatrics of trendier areas. It's a neighbourhood that rewards those looking for genuine everyday Korean food at prices that haven't been adjusted for tourists.
