Down an alley in Itaewon, around the corner from Scrooge Pub and across from Tartine, lies Curry Town.
Wasnt the best Indian meal I've ever had in Seoul, the paneer in my dish was rather crumbly and I prefer nice big almost tough chunks. BUT- the prices were low. My dish was around 9,000KRW where a lot of competitors charge almost twice that.
Last week I had the pleasure of dining with Munir Rana, owner of Alsaba restuarant in Itaewon.
Mr. Rana also owns the fabulous Persian rug store next door.
The meal was fantastic, the conversation flowing and the Persian rugs?
One day, I will have one in my house.
**You can find out more about my evening at Alsaba in next month's issue of Groove, available November 1st. **
Alsaba is located just off the main road in Itaewon. If you are entering the Itaewon arches, it is on your right.
Live or work on Post? Park at the gas station on Post and walk out the gate and across the street.
Alsaba is open 7 days a week.
My husband and I were walking along the back alley of the Hamilton Hotel trying to decide between several posh look eateries.
We came across Moghul, an Indian restaurant in an older Korean house.
Their menu prices were at the higher end of what I have normally paid for Indian food in Korea.
There is outdoor seating on a giant covered porch.
There was a great breeze going that night and it make the outdoor seating area magical.
There is also an indoor seating area.
I ordered the spinach paneer.
(My husband ordered some meat dish. You cant really expect me to always remember, do you?)
Every single spoonful had a large chunk of soft paneer.
Although this was the priciest Indian dinner I have had in Seoul, I know I'll be back because the food and service were excellent and the ambience was spectacular.
