True to its name, they aim to offer everyone who visits delicious food, warm moments, and a meal that brings hope. It is a wonderful restaurant, fitting for a place that has put so much thought into even its name. ## A spacious interior for solo diners and groups ![Spacious interior of Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-01-z5x80-900.webp) It is a roomy space that can accommodate solo diners, pairs, and groups alike. I went late on a weekday evening and got in without waiting! It is clean and spacious, so it is great for going with friends or a date. ![Restaurant interior with a photo of the Taj Mahal](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-02-lekdu-900.webp) As you would expect from an Indian restaurant, there is a photo of the Taj Mahal, too. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. I want to visit India someday.~ (I cannot resist photos like this~~) ![Comfortable atmosphere inside the Indian restaurant](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-03-1rle3-900.webp) ## How to order with a QR code or NFC Order by scanning the QR code or tapping via NFC.

It is linked with Coupang POS. Several people can add menu items from their own phones! No need to huddle around one small screen—you can use it comfortably and smartly~ Most dishes are in the ₩10,000 range! ## Palak paneer, butter chicken curry, and butter naan My picks were palak paneer, butter chicken curry, and butter naan :) They come out plated so nicely like this. It may not look like much, but it is enough for two people. I find that two curries and three naan are about right for two. ![Palak paneer, butter chicken curry, and butter naan](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-09-312eg-900.webp) If it is your first time at Meono Kkameona, or your first time trying Indian curry, I recommend the butter chicken curry! It is pleasantly sweet and spicy, a flavor anyone can enjoy. If you already know Indian curry or Meono Kkameona, I recommend the palak paneer! It is a spinach-and-cheese curry, with rich spinach and nutty cheese flavors that go together beautifully. Writing this is making me hungry... ![Complimentary side dishes served with curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-10-6p9x5-900.webp) The complimentary side dishes are quite Korean-style. Kimchi, pickled vegetables? And jalapeños. They will give you more if you want!! I did not eat them because I was busy with the curry haha. ![Freshly made butter naan cut into easy-to-eat pieces](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-11-lfi18-900.webp) The butter naan comes cut into easy-to-eat pieces. It is made fresh right after you order, so delicious. Nom nom—be careful because freshly made food is hot!! They also provide wet wipes, which makes it easy to eat neatly. ![View around the restaurant after sunset](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-12-zx97x-900.webp) This is the view after the sun had gone down. The elephant statue(?) is cute, too. It is a subtly charming little place that has won me over. I hope this place does even better haha. ![Notice about the Naver review momo perk](https://img.superchart.com/images/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona-13-bbdvd-900.webp) ## Four pieces of momo with a Naver review Ah! There is something I did not mention when I showed you the menu earlier. Naver reviews~~ If you write a review, they give you four pieces of momo, Indian-style dumplings. Food lovers, definitely join in haha. Personally, this is a favorite restaurant tied to good memories, so I hope it continues to do well! I need to go back again soon. ## Where it is - Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch (머노까머나 대학로점) - 2F Ihwa Building, 236 Changgyeonggung-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea (서울특별시 종로구 창경궁로 236 이화빌딩 2층) - 서울특별시 종로구 창경궁로 236 이화빌딩 2층 - 37.582692, 126.998832 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%A8%B8%EB%85%B8%EA%B9%8C%EB%A8%B8%EB%82%98%20%EB%8C%80%ED%95%99%EB%A1%9C%EC%A0%90/@37.582692,126.998832,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@seoul-banchan-rounds/hyehwa-palak-paneer-merronakkameona/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
