and Nepalese cuisine. Chefs with over 18 years of experience in the

hotel and restaurant industry in India and Nepal deliver flavorful
dishes. The splendor of the Indian style interior and reasonable
prices attract customers to all three branches in Seogyo, Hongdae,
and Sangsu. We recommend the oven-baked spiced meat, the
biryani with cashews and coconut, and curry that is rich in flavor
and made with fresh ingredients and spices. The Nepali thali set
menu is another recommended item for its serving size and variety
of flavors.

Seoul is a city on the cutting edge, yet is also a city where

old traditions remain and historical landmarks can be
found at every turn. To become more accustomed with
Koreas traditions, taking a walk through ancient palaces in
downtown would be a great idea. When strolling along the
elegant and antique palaces, visitors begin to understand
what ancient Korea was like. In downtown Seoul alone,
visitors are sure to be wowed by sites of the Joseon
Dynasty's Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace
and Huwon that are designated as UNESCO World Heritages,
Changgyeonggung Palace and its beautiful fall scenery, and
Deoksugung Palace located next to Seoul City Hall.
