Shrimp biryani dinner for four at Mandala, a Hapjeong Indian spot
Mandala Indian Lounge is an Indian restaurant on the 3rd floor at 26 Dokmak-ro 3-gil, a short walk from Hapjeong Station in Mapo, Seoul. Four friends arrived at 7pm with no wait and shared chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, shrimp biryani and plain naan, with curries at 12,000-15,000 won and naan at 3,000-6,000 won. Mandala Indian Lounge splits easily four ways for dinner, as long as you avoid the Tuesday closing day.
