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.
Gangnam-gu is Seoul's upscale business and entertainment district south of the Han River. Home to K-pop entertainment companies, COEX Mall, and the Apgujeong-Rodeo shopping strip, it attracts young professionals, tourists, and K-drama fans. Restaurants here tend toward the polished and premium, with a density of international cuisine, high-end Korean dining, and trendy cafés.
