New Delhi is a longstanding Indian curry restaurant on Nonhyeon-ro 176-gil in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, anchored in the Apgujeong neighborhood. The restaurant gained additional visibility through singer Sung Si-kyung's YouTube channel, but its foundation rests on the Indian chef who prepares every dish by hand using traditional Indian cooking methods at prices that remain reasonable for the Gangnam area. The defining strength is the calibration of spice intensity to Korean palates — the aromatic depth of Indian cuisine comes through without the overwhelming heat or pungency that can discourage first-time diners. Chicken makhani and lamb makhani both showcase a thick, buttery texture that coats each piece of naan, while the pasanda curry adds a punchy combination of tomato, onion, and garlic with generous chunks of meat that aligns closely with Korean flavor preferences. Do piaza carries a distinctive sweetness from a cream-and-tomato paste blend reminiscent of rose sauce with roasted garlic notes. The garlic naan achieves a balance of crispness and tenderness that multiple reviewers have singled out as exceptional, and the tandoori chicken arrives alongside roasted potatoes and onions for a complete plate. The green coriander sauce paired with tandoori adds a bright herbal dimension. Lunch sets combining salad, tandoori, curry, naan, and lassi are sized generously enough for solo diners to leave fully satisfied, and the plain lassi offers a gentle yogurt sweetness that complements curry naturally. A Korean manager greets guests from the entrance, assisting with parking guidance and menu explanations, while the Indian staff communicate fluently in Korean, eliminating any language barrier. An Indian mint candy served after the meal provides a refreshing and novel palate cleanser. Arriving between 11:30 and noon on weekdays typically avoids any wait, and for anyone in the Apgujeong vicinity seeking an authentic yet accessible Indian dining experience, this is the first recommendation.
