Songdo Indian restaurant with a baby: chicken masala Set B, Manokamana

Where is Manokamana Triple Street Branch 2 in Songdo?

Manokamana Triple Street Branch 2 is at 33-3 Songdo-gwahak-ro 16beon-gil, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea, in Triple Street Building C. It connects straight from Technopark Station and also links to the Songdo Hyundai Premium Outlet, so it's a great meeting spot for hot, cold, or rainy days haha.

• ⏰ Open daily 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
• 🅿️ Easy parking since it's inside a mall
• Park on B2 of Building C and you're right at the restaurant floor!!

When I lived in Seoul I used to go to the Daehangno branch a lot hehe, so I'm so happy there's one in Songdo too 😊. Manokamana is a Songdo Indian curry spot that makes our couple's top 5 Songdo restaurants list.

I've been quite a few times, but I only just found out this time that there's a second floor.

You can see the kitchen, and you can see the tandoori chicken 🤤

Booking ahead for a group at Manokamana

At Manokamana Branch 2, it looks like they push tables together for groups. Since the restaurant isn't that big, if you want everyone to sit together it's probably best to reserve ahead. You can do it through Naver Reservation — go for it!

As soon as you sit down, three kinds of pickles come out: pickled onion, cucumber pickle, and jalapeños.

What comes with Set B at 19,000 won per person

What we ordered that day at Manokamana was Set B at ₩19,000 per person. We'd just been to Pororo Park on Wolmido with the baby and were so exhausted and hungry that we didn't have the energy to think about the menu, so we just went with Set B lol.

The set's curry is a choice of one from palak paneer, butter chicken, or chicken masala — we picked the slightly spicy chicken masala ✔️. Naan: sweet naan ✔️. Lassi: strawberry and mango ✔️.

Normally instead of a set we order two curries with rice and naan, so it was a little disappointing to only get one curry with Set B — but it was nice not having to agonize over what to order, and getting a whole course including lassi for ₩19,000 per person. If one curry really isn't enough, you can just order extra.

First up: green salad and lassi. Once you finish the salad with what I think was an orange or tangerine dressing, the chicken tikka, curry, sweet naan, and rice all come out one after another.

How do the chicken tikka and chicken masala taste?

I wondered what the difference was between chicken tikka and tandoori chicken, and it seems to just be bone-in versus boneless. Chicken tikka is basically boneless chicken 🙄 lol, moist and very soft. The dipping sauce, maybe a chili sauce, paired with it perfectly — yum. The chicken masala was marked 🌶️🌶️ on the menu but wasn't that spicy (by my standards, of course).

The sweet naan has honey brushed on it, slightly crispy and chewy, and goes so well with the curry. The rice in the set is just plain white rice — personally I prefer fluffy Indian rice, but my husband likes white rice, so whatever lol.

Phew, I got way too into it… came home so full 🐷. Anyway, Indian curry is always delicious whenever I eat it, but Manokamana is genuinely amazing. Confirmed: a top Songdo Indian curry spot.

Curry that's good for your taste buds and your health 🥘🇮🇳. Last time I came with my mom and dad — even my 70-year-old mom fell for this Indian curry taste ❤️. My dad was kind of quiet though… haha.

+ Next to us, someone who looked like they were from India or Pakistan or thereabouts was eating happily, which made me super curious what the local curry tastes like and how close it is to this!!!! Maybe I should go to India.

Is Manokamana Triple Street Branch 2 good with a baby?

Let me tell you, Manokamana Triple Street Branch 2 is also a great restaurant to visit with a baby 🤭. We have our 10-month-old, Anyeong, and the restaurant had a sturdy baby chair for her.

It's nice that we don't have to go far for coffee after the meal, there's plenty to eat and browse since it's a mall, and the nursing room is well set up — how could we not come back!! lol. That day we also bought baby food at Sangol Baby Food in the Songdo Hyundai Premium Outlet, which connects to Triple Street, then changed a diaper before heading to the restaurant. Good for me, good for the baby — this mall is the best.
