On an evening walk the visitor ordered chicken over rice, lamb over rice (a set upgrade for an extra 5,000 won) and a chicken kebab, tasting them with the white sauce and jalapeño red sauce. With an open kitchen and mostly two-person tables, Zilhal Bros Sangam suits a solo meal or a filling dinner for two. ## Good to know - **Address**: 1F, Building B, 17 World Cup Buk-ro 54-gil, Mapo-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:30, no break time) - **Public transit**: About a 10-minute walk from Susaek Station (Gyeongui-Jungang Line) Exit 1, or from Digital Media City Station Exit 9 toward Sangam DMC/MBC - **How to find it**: Behind the Starbucks Sangam Savoy City branch, red storefront - **Parking**: Search 'Savoy City DMC' or the road address and park in the building - **Seating**: About 10 two-person tables, kiosk ordering - **Ordered**: Chicken over rice, lamb over rice (set with fries and cola for an extra 5,000 won), chicken kebab *as written by the visitor on Sep 18, 2026* ![Main photo of Zilhal Bros Sangam](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-01-9gaxu-1200.webp) On a night walk near my place, I always notice new restaurants popping up, and a few days ago I heard about a hip new halal food spot that had brought over the soul of New York street food. I was so curious — I eat sandwiches and burgers all the time, but I haven't had many chances to try real kebabs or over rice. Wanting something healthy but a bit different for a meal, I happily set out on my walk and dropped by this appealing kebab restaurant in Sangam-dong, Zilhal Bros Sangam! ## Where is Zilhal Bros Sangam and when is it open? - Address: 17 World Cup Buk-ro 54-gil, B-dong 1F, Mapo-gu, Seoul, South Korea - Hours: Daily 11:00–21:00 (last order 20:30, no break time) - Transit: About 10 min walk from Susaek Station (Gyeongui-Jungang Line) Exit 1 / or take Digital Media City Station Exit 9 and head toward Sangam DMC, MBC direction. - Directions: Go past the Starbucks Sangam Savoy City branch, further inside the building, and you'll find the shop with the red exterior. - Parking: If driving, search 'Savoy City DMC' or the road address and park in the building. ![Basic store information for Zilhal Bros Sangam](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-02-jqlvc-900.webp) ## What is the restaurant like inside? ![Entrance to Zilhal Bros Sangam with red exterior](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-03-10ybb-900.webp) ![Exterior of Zilhal Bros Sangam set inside the building](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-04-9qs7i-900.webp) Walking a bit further inside the building past the Starbucks, I found Zilhal Bros Sangam super easily thanks to its eye-catching, bold red exterior.

The menu was a little unfamiliar so I was hesitating, but the staff kindly explained the menu items and the sauce characteristics, which made ordering comfortable and pleasant. ## How do the over rice plates and kebab taste? ![Over rice and kebab menu items served on the table](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-08-lhrvb-900.webp) ![Chicken over rice and lamb over rice set spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-09-1a3qj-900.webp) ![Set with fries and cola included](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-10-akcg8-900.webp) ![Over rice topped with white sauce and red sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-11-18q9b-900.webp) ![The three halal dishes we ordered](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-12-eyr7z-900.webp) To try a bit of everything, we ordered chicken over rice, lamb over rice (upgraded with +5,000 won to a set with fries and cola), and a chicken kebab. Overall, the sauces had a nicely spicy kick that never got overwhelming — really delicious! ![Chicken over rice on top of basmati rice](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-13-1gezp-900.webp) ![Chicken over rice with lettuce and tomato](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-14-1pkxy-900.webp) ### Chicken over rice On top of fluffy basmati rice sat a mountain of chicken, lightly grilled over an open flame. Crisp lettuce and fresh tomatoes added great texture, and the savory white sauce mixed with the tangy jalapeño-based red sauce in a golden ratio, exploding with incredible umami. The subtle spiciness was addictive and kept pulling me back for more. ![Lamb over rice topped with grilled lamb](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-15-1njsp-900.webp) ![Close-up of lamb over rice soaked in sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-16-ndrl7-900.webp) ![Fries added to the set](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-17-ip3pu-900.webp) ### Lamb over rice set I worried the lamb might have a strong gamey smell, but that concern turned out to be unnecessary — the quality halal meat was grilled to give off only a subtle, fragrant char. The chewy texture of the lamb combined with the spicy-savory signature sauces soaking into every grain of rice made it impossible to put the spoon down. Generous portions and great fullness too — a truly deep flavor befitting the signature dish of this kebab restaurant in Sangam-dong. The freshly fried, crispy fries added to the set made the combo perfect. ![Chicken kebab wrapped in tortilla](https://img.superchart.com/images/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice/jilhal-bros-sangam-halal-over-rice-18-kktfc-900.webp) ### Chicken kebab Inside a hefty wrap that fit neatly in one hand, tender chicken and fresh vegetables were packed in without a single gap. Wrapped in a chewy tortilla instead of rice, it seemed like the perfect choice for enjoying a clean, convenient taste of New York vibes while out on a walk or during a busy lunch hour. The harmony of the ingredients came together beautifully in every bite. ## Is Zilhal Bros Sangam worth a visit?
