For dinner, a married couple ordered the couple's set (50,000 won), which brought samosas, chicken tikka, shrimp chili, chicken makhani and vegetable curry, garlic naan, plain rice and a mango lassi. The best combination at Namaste Dongmyo Branch was dipping the big pieces of garlic naan into the creamy chicken makhani. ## Good to know - **Address**: 18 Jibong-ro, 2nd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul - **Hours**: Daily 11:00–22:00 - **Last order**: 21:00 - **What we ordered**: Couple's set, 50,000 won (drink: mango lassi) - **Set includes**: Samosa, chicken tikka, shrimp chili, two curries (chicken makhani and vegetable curry), naan, rice, drink - **Parking**: Free in the building lot on weekdays if a space is open; on weekends use a nearby public parking lot - **Location**: Right in front of Dongmyoap Station Exit 5; the restaurant is on the 2nd floor *as written by the visitor on Sep 6, 2026* My husband and I went out for dinner at Namaste Dongmyo Branch this time. We already love curry and naan so we go for Indian food fairly often, but this time instead of just ordering a single curry, we tried the couple's set that comes with samosas, chicken tikka, shrimp chili, and two kinds of curry. Let me walk you through the spread — it turned out to be surprisingly generous for two people :) ## Namaste Dongmyo Branch hours and parking - Address: 18 Jibong-ro, 2nd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul - Hours: Daily 11:00–22:00 - Last order: 21:00 Parking is free in the building's lot on weekdays if a spot is available, but on weekends you'll need to use a nearby public parking lot, apparently. ## How to walk there from Dongmyoap Station Exit 5 ![Exterior of Namaste Dongmyo Branch and its orange sign in front of Dongmyo Station Exit 5](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-01-1e1w7-900.webp) Namaste Dongmyo Branch is right in front of Exit 5 of Dongmyo Station. There's a big orange sign on the building so it wasn't hard to spot, and the restaurant itself is on the 2nd floor. ## Inside the second-floor dining room ![Interior view of Namaste Dongmyo Branch's 2nd floor dining room](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-02-1mnwx-900.webp) ![Wall at Namaste Dongmyo Branch decorated with Indian-style ornaments](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-03-1yjl0-m-900.webp) We went up to the 2nd floor and walked in, and it was way more spacious inside than I expected. The moment we stepped in, it really felt like India. There were statues and decorations on the walls, and the lighting and wall design had an exotic feel to them, so it was fun just to look around. ![Corner of the restaurant with exotic lighting and statues](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-04-1y9fm-900.webp) ![Spaced-out table seating at Namaste Dongmyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-05-byyuw-900.webp) ![Interior decor and seating area at Namaste Dongmyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-06-jqfky-m-900.webp) There were plenty of seats too, and the tables weren't crammed together, so we got to eat comfortably as a couple. ## What comes in the 50,000 won couple's set ![First page of the Namaste Dongmyo Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-07-1490a-925.webp) ![Menu page listing the set menus at Namaste Dongmyo Branch](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-08-dforo-895.webp) ![Menu page listing curry options](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-09-1huiy-910.webp) ![Menu page listing naan and rice options](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-10-1job6-898.webp) ![Menu page listing appetizer options](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-11-1rj0u-907.webp) ![Menu page listing tandoori and chicken dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-12-nfe9y-903.webp) ![Menu page listing drinks and lassi options](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-13-p0ys3-905.webp) ![Back page of the Namaste Dongmyo Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-14-15du7-886.webp) ![Final page of the Namaste Dongmyo Branch menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-15-brsqg-890.webp) We wanted to try a bunch of things at once, so we ordered the couple's set. It comes with samosas, chicken tikka, shrimp chili, two curries, naan, and rice, and we chose mango lassi for the drink. - Ordered: Couple's set – ₩50,000 ### The full table, dish by dish ![Full table spread with the entire couple's set laid out](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-16-1mrsg-1200.webp) The food didn't take long to come out, but once everything was set down one by one, the table was completely full. It was surprisingly generous for two people. ## Chicken tikka and shrimp chili ![Plate of bite-sized chicken tikka and shrimp chili](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-17-1owt6-900.webp) The chicken tikka came in bite-sized pieces, easy to pick up one by one, and the shrimp chili had shrimp stir-fried together with onion and bell pepper. ## Trying samosa for the first time ![Plate of crispy fried samosas](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-18-jr631-900.webp) This was my first time trying samosa. The outside was fried crisp, and when we split it in half, it was packed with more potato and vegetables than I expected. ![Samosa split in half showing potato and vegetable filling](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-19-pm889-900.webp) ![Samosa being dipped in ketchup](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-20-1791h-900.webp) You could taste a hint of spice, but dipping it in the ketchup that came alongside worked really well. It wasn't as intense a flavor as I expected — more mild, with the potato and vegetable flavor coming through strongly. ## Chicken makhani or vegetable curry: which one we liked more ![Chicken makhani and vegetable curry served in the couple's set](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-21-1cltr-900.webp) And now the curry I'd been waiting for the whole time! The couple's set comes with both chicken makhani and vegetable curry. The chicken makhani was soft and creamy, with big chunks of chicken inside. I generally love this style of curry, so between the two, chicken makhani was more my taste. It was great piled generously over rice, and just as good dipped with naan. The vegetable curry had a variety of vegetables in it, so it had more texture and bite compared to the chicken makhani. Since the two flavors were so different, switching between them kept things interesting. ## Garlic naan and plain rice ![Garlic naan large enough to cover the basket](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-22-5kscz-900.webp) The garlic naan was bigger than I expected when it arrived — it nearly covered the whole basket, with garlic scattered across the surface. It was tasty on its own too, but dipping it into the curry was definitely the best way to eat it. In particular, the combination of chicken makhani and garlic naan was my favorite thing we ate that day. ![A piece of garlic naan dipped into chicken makhani](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-23-174zg-900.webp) ![Bowl of plain rice topped with curry](https://img.superchart.com/images/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan-24-10yqx-900.webp) Plain rice came with the set too, and since I couldn't give up either the naan or the rice, I ended up piling curry on the rice and dipping the naan as well. With two kinds of curry to mix and match, it all disappeared fast. ## Mango lassi as the set drink Among tea, lassi, and yogurt, we chose mango lassi. It was sweet and smooth, so it was nice to sip between bites of the curry and spiced dishes. ## Is the Namaste Dongmyo couple's set enough for two people? We ordered just one couple's set, and it came with samosas, chicken tikka, shrimp chili, two curries, naan, and rice — plenty to leave us both full. Out of everything, the combination of chicken makhani and garlic naan was the tastiest to me, and since it's right by Dongmyo Station, it's convenient to stop by for a meal after browsing the Dongmyo flea market. If you're looking for good curry near Dongmyo Station or want to try a variety of Indian dishes at once, the couple's set is worth ordering :) ## Where it is - Namaste Dongmyo Branch (나마스테 동묘점) - 18 Jibong-ro, 2nd floor, Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea - 서울특별시 종로구 지봉로 18 2층 - 37.5717459, 127.016013 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EB%82%98%EB%A7%88%EC%8A%A4%ED%85%8C%20%EB%8F%99%EB%AC%98%EC%A0%90/@37.5717459,127.016013,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@weekend-spoon/namaste-dongmyo-chicken-makhani-garlic-naan/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
