Shrimp masala and butter naan at Mandala, a Hapjeong Indian spot
Mandala Indian Lounge is an Indian restaurant on the 3rd floor near Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul, serving premium Indian dishes alongside Middle Eastern-style hookah. Two friends ordered chicken tikka masala for 13,000 won, shrimp masala for 15,000 won, plain naan for 3,000 won and a bowl of rice for 2,000 won, and received an extra butter naan through the review event. Mandala is an easy pick for comparing two curries side by side when you want a different kind of meal around Hongdae and Hapjeong.
