Various Authentic Indian food with vegan, vegetarian, and gluten free!

South Indian foods are rare to eat in Korea. Affordable price, nice outdoor seats. Dosa is amazing. Just be careful they has ghee butter & marinated in yogurt menu which is not actually vegan but marked as vegan. I asked owner to change it as soon as possible😄

Authentic Indian food

Very delicious, with many vegetarian and vegan options. Authentic Indian taste, and they have dosa!! Kind and helpfull staff. It was crowded, so I was happy I made a reservation for a group of 6 for lunch during the weekend.

Tastes just like their NY location! Yum!!

I had aloo paratha with achar, and sambar vada with coconut chutney. Everyone was very sweet and the paratha was made fresh. The table next to me had a HUGE dosa! I’ll definitely get that next time! They gave me raita with my paratha but I kindly explained to them and they offered me achar (pickle) instead. And it was delicious!!

As a New Yorker Im very pleased with the price so far. I haven’t had any entrees so I cant comment on that portion yet but I was very satisfied with what I had today.

Confirmed Vegan vanaspati ghee used in vegan dishes.

Vegan dessert Sooji kesari made of semolina and sugar and vegan ghee

Pure vegetarian Indian food

It’s good to see an Indian restaurant in Seoul with so many varieties. The food is freshly cooked in-front of you (they have a see through kitchen). A lot of their items were out of stock which is weird since they recently opened up. I hope to try them someday. Overall the staff were really kind and helpful and the food is delicious.

1st Indian 100% Vegetarian Restaurant in Seoul

Ambiance, location (near Itaewon Station Exit 2), and food all 3 was best, so it ticks all the boxes for me.

They have South Indian as well North Indian food.

They even prepare Jain Food.

The first indian vegetarian restaurant in Korea

Various options.
Since they recently opened, the service wasn't great. The waiters were doing their best. But would appreciate of they maintain the same taste for the same dish that's ordered more than once.
