Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch is an Indian curry restaurant that has been running for over 10 years in Daehangno, Seoul, on the 2nd floor of the Ewha Building on Changgyeonggung-ro near Hyehwa Station. A regular ordered Set B (salad, half a tandoori chicken, one curry, rice, naan and 2 lassis) with the spicy chicken masala. The regular added mutton korma, a creamy lamb curry, à la carte as a contrast, plus momo dumplings received for a receipt review. Spice levels vary by curry at Meono Kkameona, so diners who find spices too much can still pick something they'll enjoy.
