I had Set B with butter chicken curry, chicken tikka, butter naan, rice, and lassi for 17,000 won per person. Verdict: the buttery curry and sweet-spicy onion kimchi are a wonderful match. ## Good to know - **Hours**: 11:00–22:00 - **Address**: 2F, 8 Dongmak-ro 9-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - **Set A**: Minimum 2 people; ₩27,000 per person - **Set B**: ₩17,000 per person - **Curry**: Chicken ₩12,900 / mutton ₩13,900 / vegetable ₩11,900 / prawn ₩14,900 - **Naan**: Plain ₩2,500 / butter ₩3,000 / garlic or sweet ₩3,500 / cheese ₩5,500 - **Seating**: Separate group seating available *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Signature Indian dishes at Deli India in Hongdae](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-01-azcm0-1200.webp) My beloved curry!!!!!! I try making it at home, but it is never quite the flavor in my head, right? I had been missing curry that is buttery and full of that sharp cumin aroma. While I was out in Hongdae, I stopped by Deli India, known as a great curry spot around Hapjeong and Sangsu. ## Deli India location and hours Hours are 11:00–22:00, and the address is 2F, 8 Dongmak-ro 9-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul. ![Alley entrance directions for Deli India](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-02-m77rs-900.webp) ![Deli India exterior on the second floor](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-03-xd865-900.webp) Deli India is on the second floor in a little alley. The sign is small, so it was not easy to spot. Looking for the red “Indian cuisine” sign should make it easier to find. ![Indian cuisine sign and second-floor entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-04-1e6jw-900.webp) Up to the second floor we go. ## A spacious dining room and separate group seating ![Spacious seating at Deli India](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-05-1maol-900.webp) ![A table set with cups and plates](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-06-144ew-900.webp) The dining room is wonderfully spacious. I was struck by the neatly arranged cups, plates, and back cushions at every table. I do not even have that many gatherings, yet whenever I see a separate group table, I imagine getting together happily with a bunch of like-minded people, haha. It would be great for a group get-together of Hongdae college students =) ![Separate group seating at Deli India](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-07-136ul-900.webp) ![Colorful interior at Deli India](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-08-1sthh-900.webp) The colorful interior also caught my eye. Even though it is an older building, having a restroom inside the restaurant was convenient. ![Restaurant event information](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-09-897un-900.webp) There are Instagram and Naver receipt-review events too, so be sure to check them out =) ## Deli India menu and prices ![Deli India set-menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-10-15zpi-900.webp) Set menus require an order for at least two people, and prices are per person. - Set A ₩27,000: green salad, 2 chicken mushroom soups, 2 samosas, half a tandoori chicken, 2 king prawns, 1 curry (choose from the full menu), choice of naan, garlic naan, or butter naan, rice, and 2 special lassis or red wines - Set B ₩17,000: green salad, chicken tikka, butter naan, rice, lassi, and 1 curry (choose butter chicken, chicken masala, or palak paneer) ![Appetizer and tandoori menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-11-1c4e4-900.webp) - Appetizers: 2 samosas ₩5,000 / vegetable pakora ₩8,000 / aloo dum ₩7,000 / papad ₩3,000 / masala papad ₩5,000 / chicken momo ₩11,900 - Salads and soups: green salad ₩6,000 / tandoori salad ₩10,000 / tomato soup ₩5,000 / chicken mushroom soup ₩5,000 - Tandoori: tandoori chicken full ₩19,000 or half ₩10,000 / chicken tikka ₩13,000 / chicken chili ₩15,000 / prawn chili ₩18,000 / tandoori king prawn ₩22,000 / chicken malai tikka ₩15,000 (25-minute preparation) / mutton tikka ₩17,000 ![Chicken and vegetable curry menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-12-1io84-900.webp) - Chicken curries ₩12,900: butter chicken (chicken makhani), chicken korma, chicken masala, kadai chicken, chicken palak, chicken vindaloo, chicken tikka masala - Mutton (lamb) curries ₩13,900: mutton masala, mutton kadai, mutton palak, mutton korma, mutton vindaloo 🌶🌶🌶 - Vegetable curries ₩11,900: paneer makhani, palak paneer, mixed vegetable, matar paneer masala, chana masala (vegan), dal makhani, palak aloo (vegan), aloo gobi (vegan) - Prawn curries ₩14,900: chili prawn curry, prawn vindaloo, prawn masala, prawn makhani ![Naan and rice menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-13-1efrh-900.webp) - Traditional breads (naan): plain naan ₩2,500 / butter naan ₩3,000 / garlic naan or sweet naan ₩3,500 / cheese naan ₩5,500 / aloo paratha ₩5,000 / apple honey kulcha or paneer honey kulcha ₩5,000 - Rice: white rice ₩1,500 / basmati rice ₩3,500 / jeera rice ₩5,000 - Biryani (fried rice): vegetable ₩10,500 / chicken ₩11,500 / mutton ₩12,500 - Pasta: vegetable curry ₩10,500 / chicken curry, lamb curry, or prawn curry ₩11,500 ![Chow mein and drinks menu board](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-14-waztg-900.webp) - Chow mein: vegetable ₩10,900 / chicken ₩11,900 / mutton ₩12,900 / prawn ₩12,900 - Desserts: dahi plain yogurt ₩5,000 / 2 gulab jamuns ₩3,500 - Drinks: black tea ₩3,000 / milk tea ₩3,500 / lassi ₩4,000 / mango or strawberry lassi ₩4,500 / mango juice ₩3,000 ## Trying Set B butter chicken curry Set B comes with butter chicken curry, chicken tikka, green salad, butter naan, rice, and lassi. ![Set B meal components](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-15-1v17o-900.webp) Let's eat! ![Butter chicken curry set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-16-1ruc7-900.webp) ![Green salad and chicken tikka](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-17-f016i-900.webp) Green salad and chicken tikka. The green salad is bright and refreshing, with mango and orange notes =) ![Boneless chicken tikka](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-18-6jym2-900.webp) Chicken tikka is boneless chicken! I love tandoori chicken and wondered whether to add it, but I looked it up and learned that chicken tikka is the boneless version of tandoori chicken, haha. It is so tender and beautifully seasoned. Cut off a piece and eat it as is~ then dip it in curry~ ![Butter chicken curry and chicken tikka](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-19-ko3w6-900.webp) Butter chicken curry—this is it! This is the flavor I had missed. Curry and naan… they are a pair, a pair. ![Butter chicken curry and butter naan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-20-16cee-900.webp) Have it with rice too. Fish out a piece of chicken, put it over the rice, and eat them together!!! I also mixed it all around so the curry could soak in nicely. ![Butter chicken curry served with rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-21-y8deq-900.webp) ![Onion kimchi served with butter chicken curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-22-1rtv9-900.webp) The onion kimchi that came alongside was so charming. Spicy and sweet, yet clean-tasting. ![Sweet-spicy onion kimchi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-23-1hjyw-900.webp) ![Sweet, chewy butter naan and lassi](https://img.superchart.com/images/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry-24-1tjsg-900.webp) The butter naan had the faintest fragrant syrup-like aroma. Even on its own, it was nutty, sweet, and chewy. So appealing! And I always finish with lassi!!! ## The pairing of buttery flavor and onion kimchi The buttery flavor comes right through in the curry, and just when you think, “Is this a little buttery?” the sweet onion kimchi resets the aroma. The tender, well-seasoned chicken tikka was appealing too, as was the chewy naan with its sweet aroma. How does this course sound: eat at Deli India, browse Gentle Monster glasses, sing a round at a coin karaoke room, do a round of escape room, then work up a sweat at Jumping Battle!!! ## Where it is - Deli India (델리인디아) - 2F, 8 Dongmak-ro 9-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 마포구 독막로9길 8 2층 - 37.5486828, 126.9197468 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%8D%B8%EB%A6%AC%EC%9D%B8%EB%94%94%EC%95%84/@37.5486828,126.9197468,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@second-chair-seoul/hapjeong-butter-chicken-curry/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
