Beef curry, tandoori cream chicken, window seat dinner in Daegu: Rama
In short
Rama & Babana Dongseong-ro Main Branch is an Indian curry restaurant on the 2nd floor of a building in Jung-gu, Daegu, that has run for over 20 years in the same spot in the Dongseong-ro phone alley. Beef curry (₩12,000), plain naan (₩4,000), tandoori cream chicken (₩14,000), and seafood teppan fried rice (₩15,000) were shared at a window table overlooking the evening street. The spices are mild rather than sharp, so even someone who can't handle spicy food can enjoy it, and the portions are generous enough for two.

The Dongseong-ro evening view from the window seat
📖 It's on the 2nd floor, and sitting by the window let us look out at the Dongseong-ro street while eating, which was really nice haha. The wood-toned interior felt cozy and had that smell of a restaurant that's been running for 20 years ><. The view is really pretty in the evening ^^*

I can't handle spicy food well, but today I was craving something a little spicy so I went with the beef curry haha
Plain naan + beef curry — spicy enough for even a spice-shy person
🍛 Plain naan + beef curry 🌶 (slightly spicy). The spices are used just right, making it a traditional Indian curry anyone can eat without worry haha. Dipping the well-baked plain naan into the beef curry was so good, that deep Indian curry flavor that's different from regular curry ^^* I can't handle spicy food, but this was a spice level I could enjoy comfortably haha. The naan tore apart easily and was soft and chewy ><. Dipping it or wrapping it with the curry — top marks 👍👍✨
Tandoori cream chicken ₩14,000 — the portion is huge
🍗 Tandoori cream chicken ₩14,000. First off, the tandoori pieces are really big haha. Crispy outside, juicy inside, well-fried chicken haha. Dip it lightly in the curry and wrap it in naan — so delicious ^^* The combo of spicy curry, crispy-outside-juicy-inside chicken, and soft naan... so good haha
Seafood teppan fried rice ₩15,000 — picked instead of the nasi goreng
🐙 Seafood teppan fried rice ₩15,000 (📣 careful, the teppan plate is hot). It's fried rice sizzling on a hot teppan plate with shrimp, baby octopus, carrot, corn, and peas. I took the photo from above, but from the side the portion is really~ big ^^ Rama & Babana's nasi goreng is their signature dish so I hesitated..... but I really love seafood teppan fried rice, so today I picked that instead haha. Can't go wrong, so delicious haha. It's also really good eaten alongside the curry ><🤤
Cider (soda) ₩3,000
🥤 Cider ₩3,000. Nice touch serving it cold in an ice cup ><. Cooling down with a cider haha. As a cider lover, it's the perfect palate cleanser ><
💐 A pretty bouquet my friend prepared for me, wishing me a safe delivery next week ❤️ The soft blue-purple gradient was so pretty, and I'm thankful she celebrated with me. Let's meet again after I give birth, healthy and well.... ❤️🥺 Congrats on becoming an aunt haha
Overall review
❤️ Rama & Babana Dongseong-ro Main Branch, an Indian curry restaurant that has stood in Dongseong-ro for 20 years with generous portions. If you're looking for a different kind of Daegu Indian curry restaurant, or a place in Dongseong-ro for a meal, a date, or a wedding-invitation gathering, I recommend it~ The spices aren't harsh, which is nice, the view is great, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a good place to talk haha. Definitely visit when you're craving curry~ 💕
