300m from Myeong-dong Station. Gurkha Indian Restaurant is an authentic Indian and Nepali dining establishment near Myeongdong Cathedral in Seoul's Jung-gu, operated by Nepali owners who bring genuine subcontinental flavors to the heart of the city. The signature tawa masala curry delivers bold, spicy depth with a richness that has made it an addictive lunchtime staple for office workers in the Myeongdong Cathedral area. The butter naan arrives piping hot from the oven with a crisp exterior and satisfyingly chewy interior that pairs seamlessly with every curry on the menu, and the garlic naan is equally popular. The thali set offers the most comprehensive experience, bundling three distinct curries alongside naan, rice, and yogurt on a single generous platter, providing a filling and varied meal in one sitting. The menu spans a wide range of classics including palak paneer and chicken tikka makani, making it accessible for first-time diners unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, while those who have eaten in India remark that the flavors closely approximate the authentic experience. The owner patiently explains the menu in Korean, which greatly assists with ordering. Lunch sets represent solid value for the Myeongdong area, where dining prices tend to run high. The clientele is largely international, lending the space an authentically cosmopolitan atmosphere that enhances the dining experience. Seasoning tends toward the stronger side across all dishes, so diners sensitive to salt should take note.
