There's also a 2-person set, so if you want to try several dishes at once, ordering the set is a good idea! That day we ordered momo, tandoori chicken, butter chicken curry, mutton palak, butter naan, and Indian rice, and my boyfriend had a beer with it too 🍺 There's quite a variety of curries, so it seems like a good idea to come with a few people, order different curries, and share them with naan or rice. That kind of sharing setup is exactly the charm of Indian food! ## Mutton palak or butter chicken curry — which one won? ![Complimentary momo, Indian-Nepali style dumplings](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-18-1ehpe-966.webp) First, the momo felt like an Indian-Nepali style dumpling. It was packed full inside with a fairly strong meaty flavor! We got it complimentary that day, but it's a good dish to try at least once on your first visit. ![Curry and naan spread at Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-19-b3dkt-966.webp) ![Mutton palak curry made with lamb](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-20-2x2bv-966.webp) *Mutton palak* We tried two curries, and both my boyfriend and I gave our vote to mutton palak! 🙋‍♀️ It's a curry made with lamb, and the spices weren't too strong — mild and savory. Even people who find Indian curry intimidating because of the spices might find this one fairly approachable. ![Tomato-based butter chicken curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-21-11n86-966.webp) *Butter chicken* On the other hand, the butter chicken has a tomato base so it has a slightly tangy taste, which might be a matter of preference. For me, mutton palak was definitely the tastier one, haha. ![Chewy butter naan with a full buttery aroma](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-22-8mo4c-966.webp) ### Butter naan and Indian rice with the curries And you really can't skip the butter naan 🫓 It's chewy naan with a full buttery aroma, and dipping it warm into the curry was so good! ![Fluffy Indian-style rice with onion pickle on the side](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-23-c9wi5-966.webp) I've always loved Indian-style rice, and piling mutton palak generously onto the fluffy, separate grains was the best combo 👍🏻 The side pickles like onion pickle and jalapeño also came in handy between bites to reset my palate. ![Tandoori chicken at Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak-24-1y96i-966.webp) ### Tandoori chicken with a cold beer The tandoori chicken wasn't dry or tough at all, and it had that distinct tandoori aroma that went really well with beer 🍗🍺 My boyfriend especially loved it, haha. Being able to enjoy both curry and tandoori dishes here is another reason I'd recommend this as a Daehangno spot. ## Final verdict on Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch It was surprising to find an Indian restaurant with such a genuinely local atmosphere in Hyehwa! The combination of mutton palak with butter naan and fluffy Indian rice is what stuck with me the most 💛 If you're craving something different from usual before or after a play or a date in Daehangno, give Meono Kkameona a try. If I'm ever in the mood for Indian curry, this is a place I'd want to revisit 😊 ## Who will enjoy this Daehangno Indian restaurant 💛 - ✔️ Anyone looking for a different kind of Daehangno restaurant - ✔️ Anyone planning a date near Hyehwa Station - ✔️ Fans of Indian curry and naan - ✔️ Anyone who finds overly spicy curries too much - ✔️ Anyone who wants tandoori chicken with a beer 🍺 ## Where it is - Meono Kkameona Daehangno Branch (머노까머나 대학로점) - 236 Changgyeonggung-ro, Ihwa Building 2F, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 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-powder-drawer/daehangno-indian-curry-mutton-palak/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
