## What is India The Durbar, the Indian curry restaurant near Samseong Station?

I think my very first Indian curry experience, ages and ages ago, was at Everest in Dongmyo — and even Everest has branches popping up everywhere these days, and Indian curry specialty restaurants in general have gotten a lot more common. India The Durbar seems to be one of them?!

![Entrance of India The Durbar with its Indian feel](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-02-6r3fs-900.webp)

The interior has that unmistakable India feel right from the entrance. Just like Everest, this place is actually run by real Indian people.

Quite a lot of tables. With so many offices nearby, it looked like it could handle group parties too, and since I visited on a weekend, it was relatively quiet.

![Basement level dining hall with plenty of tables](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-04-10yuz-1200.webp)

## India The Durbar menu: solo sets make eating alone easy

The menu!! India The Durbar has two-person set menus, of course, but also a one-person set, so it looked pretty doable for solo dining too.

![India The Durbar set menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-05-ldfxd-900.webp)

And seriously, the menu is huge. From appetizers, salads, soups, to several kinds of tandoori, and above all a ton of curry options. Broadly split into vegetable curry / chicken curry / lamb curry / shrimp curry, and each category alone seems to have 8-9 kinds. Drinks and alcohol options are pretty varied too. Seems like a group with different tastes could all go together and each be happy 🤣🤣

Out of the huge menu, our choice was the India The Durbar Set B, made up of green salad, boneless tandoori chicken, 2 curries (we picked palak paneer / butter chicken makhani), naan, rice, and 2 glasses of lassi.

![Table set with the ordered Set B](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-09-11bp1-900.webp)

## Set B course, from tangerine-dressing green salad to lassi

The green salad came out first. The dressing was tangerine sauce! There were even a few pieces of canned tangerine in it — it's been ages since I had such a sweet salad (✿◡‿◡)

![Green salad with tangerine sauce dressing](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-10-1w7z3-900.webp)

A somehow Korean-feeling side dish haha. That onion dish that looked like kimchi was genuinely delicious.

Tandoori chicken! This chicken had no bones, boneless, which made it even easier to eat.

You could squeeze lemon juice over it and eat it plain, or dip it in the sauce that came with it, or dip it in the curry — whatever suited my own taste!

![Tandoori chicken with lemon juice and sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-13-1bier-900.webp)

And this is the lassi! Lassi is apparently made by mixing dahi, Indian-style yogurt, with water and spices, salt, pepper etc. and whipping it into froth — it tasted a bit like a drinking yogurt.

## Palak paneer vs butter chicken makhani: how do they taste?

Today's mains, the curries!!! Palak paneer, a spinach curry made with spinach and Indian-style cheese, and butter chicken makhani, a chicken curry flavored with fresh tomatoes, cream, and spices.

![Palak paneer and butter chicken makhani curries](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-17-1gidm-900.webp)

![Freshly baked, large naan](https://img.superchart.com/images/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b/india-durbar-samseong-weekend-set-b-18-ja1t1-900.webp)

They served up a really big naan, piping hot too.

The chicken curry was super thick, with big chunks of chicken packed inside. Its aroma was deep and its flavor was heavy too. A truly rich, intense curry taste.

In contrast, the palak paneer was the milder curry. It had several cube-shaped pieces of cheese in it too. The curries are kept warm continuously by solid fuel, so we got to eat them piping hot all the way to the end of the meal.

Dipped the spinach curry and the chicken curry into naan, poured them over rice. The curries were so good we ordered extra naan and scraped the bowls completely clean.

## Parking near India The Durbar: free at the public lot on weekends

India The Durbar Samseong Station Branch has no parking of its own, so we used the nearby public parking lot instead — it opens for free outside operating hours, so since we visited on the weekend, it was free for us. Felt like I stumbled onto a nice parking hack lol.

After the meal we took a look around Hyundai Department Store across the street too, and it was a really, really satisfying meal! A great spot for solo dining near Samseong Station and Coex, and also a solid, affordable pick for a date or lunch — an Indian curry restaurant approved!
