The moment I stepped into Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch, the exotic yet cozy Indian-style interior caught my eye. ![Interior of Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch with Indian-style decor](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-08-1wljs-m-900.webp) ![Cozy dining hall seating at Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-09-13x93-900.webp) I sat by the window in particular, and eating while looking out at the open window view made for a really great atmosphere.

First, catching both the eye and the palate was the 'Naan Tandoori King Prawn (₩22,000),' ![A plate of naan tandoori king prawn](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-13-1his2-900.webp) a dish of large king prawns marinated deliciously in various Indian spices and grilled in the tandoor. ![King prawn marinated in spices and grilled in the tandoor](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-14-pycgw-900.webp) I love shrimp so I had high expectations, ![Close-up of the large tandoori king prawn dish](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-15-ls3f3-900.webp) and the distinctive richness of the king prawn was seriously no joke. The size was so big that when I took a bite, the texture that filled my mouth was truly a masterpiece. ![A bite taken out of the tandoori king prawn](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-16-1odgd-900.webp) The spices weren't overpowering and blended with the shrimp's natural sweetness, making for a flavor that had me involuntarily impressed. ![Tandoori prawn plate at Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-17-1k5wh-900.webp) ## Butter chicken 12,000 won with butter naan 3,000 won For curry, I chose the ultimate in creamy softness: 'Butter Chicken (₩12,000).' ![Butter chicken curry at Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-18-1xi6p-900.webp) It's a curry made with fresh tomatoes, cream, and various spices, packed with tender chicken. Scooping up the smooth cream sauce with the chewy chicken together was quite fun. ![Butter chicken curry with cream sauce and chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-19-astwd-900.webp) It wasn't intense or overwhelming, so soft that I kept scooping more without ever getting tired of it — it has an almost addictive charm. I also ordered 'Butter Naan (₩3,000),' curry's inseparable partner. ![Butter naan baked in a clay oven](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-20-10pe8-900.webp) It's plain naan brushed with savory butter and baked fresh in the clay oven. As you'd expect from oven baking, the outside was crispy while the inside stayed chewy — genuinely delicious. ![Butter chicken curry piled on butter naan](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-21-9oxps-900.webp) Piling the rich, smooth butter chicken curry generously on top of the chewy butter naan was truly a match made in heaven. I couldn't stop my hands from reaching for more — it had that irresistible pull. ## Finishing with mango lassi, 4,000 won To finish the meal, I drank a 'Mango Lassi (₩4,000).' ![A rich glass of mango lassi](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-22-1eg38-900.webp) It was much richer and more refreshing than at other Indian restaurants I've been to — my eyes lit up the moment I took a sip. Not too sweet or too thin, with a rich flavor so good that I practically drained the cup dry. It was the perfect dessert-slash-drink to cleanse my mouth after the rich food. Another great meal today, thanks for reading! ![Table at Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch after finishing the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat-23-bq8sj-900.webp) ## Where it is - Meno Kamena Sinchon Branch (머노까머나 신촌점) - 13 Yonsei-ro 11-gil, 2nd floor, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (Changcheon-dong), South Korea - 서울특별시 서대문구 연세로11길 13 2층 - 37.5588706, 126.9360452 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A8%B8%EB%85%B8%EA%B9%8C%EB%A8%B8%EB%82%98%20%EC%8B%A0%EC%B4%8C%EC%A0%90/@37.5588706,126.9360452,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@once-seated/sinchon-indian-tandoori-king-prawn-window-seat/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
