Taj Palace (Itaewon)

It hasn't been until recently that I've really started to get into Indian food, I find myself craving curry and naan on a daily basis. When my friend mentioned that there was an Indian place in Itaewon that had a buffet, I knew that we HAD to go.

Taj Palace is located in the heart of Itaewon, in the more grimy area close to hooker hill. Upon first entering the restaurant, I was a a bit disappointed with the decor. The majority of Indian restaurants I have visited have been beautifully decorated and have a relaxed vibe to them. Taj Palace felt very sterile, like an American chain restaurant with no personality. There was no music playing in the background, only silence.

Unfortunately, the buffet is only open on Saturdays and Sundays and we visited Taj Palace on a Friday. Although, as you can tell from the picture, the buffet looks like it could have some serious potential!

The menu at Taj Palace was huge, but I little bit difficult to navigate. My friend and I decided to order one of the special course meals, which was priced at 26,000 won per person. We were a bit confused by the pricing as it was 26,000 won per person, but one person could not buy the course meal, you needed atleast 2 people in order to buy the course meal. We were left wondering how the course meal would work if 4 people wanted to order it, would we get the same amount of food for a much more expensive price? It all seemed a bit shady and unorganized.

We ordered a course meal that got us three different kinds of curries, a drink, rice, naan and tandoori chicken. Unfortunately, Taj Palace is a Halal restaurant so there was NO alcohol at all! Our options were basically sprite or coke. We were a bit let down by this, as beer goes really well with curry!

The tandoori chicken

The three curries we purchased (Saag chicken, Makal Palak Khumb and a vegetarian deep fried curry) were all quite tasty. I was particularly impressed with the Saag chicken curry. The curries were the perfect size to share with a friend. The tandoori chicken was also fairly good, a bit spicy for my taste, but the chicken was moist and flavourful. The meal came with A LOT of naan (yay!) and a decent size bowl of rice. Overall, I was impressed with all the food we had. It isn't the best Indian food I've had in Seoul, but it certainly isn't bad!

Look at all that naan!

Service was a bit slow, while the servers were friendly their English wasn't the best. We had to remind them to get use our drinks, and there was some other small misunderstandings between us and the servers. Unfortunately the lack of atmosphere really took away from the food for me. I remember less about the food, and more about the awkwardness of the restaurant.

Final Say: Taj Palace has a strange atmosphere, with minimal decorations and no alcohol served at the restaurant. The food is good, but a bit overpriced. While I enjoyed the food, I wouldn't return to Taj Palace as there are much better curry restaurants in Seoul.

Directions: Go out Itaewon station exit 3 and walk straight for about 2 minutes. When you get to the intersection turn right and go up the hill for about 2 minutes. Taj Palace is on your right on the second floor.

Address: 2F 132-2 Itaewon 1-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul
