Korean Restaurants in Delhi

Korean food lovers in Delhi have more than a handful of spots to check out, but it’s not just about the usual barbecue joints. Sure, you’ll find places like The Korean Joint in Nehru Place where the grill is king, but some lesser-known cafes offer fantastic bibimbap and tteokbokki too.

If you’re around Chanakyapuri or Jor Bagh, you can stumble upon cozy Korean restaurants tucked away from the main road that serve home-style dishes. The kimchi here often hits the right balance – spicy and tangy without the overpowering fish sauce taste that can sometimes catch you off guard.

A quick tip: go for lunch instead of dinner on weekends if you can. Some of the best places get packed, especially since most Korean expats and Delhi locals alike crave the comfort food after a long week. And if you’re ordering for the first time, try bulgogi or haemul pajeon – you might find yourself hooked. Oh, and don’t pass on the soju cocktails, they make a nice evening treat when the weather’s mild. Trust me, Korean food in Delhi isn’t just a fad here; it’s steadily becoming part of the city’s dining routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Korean food spots in Delhi? Here are some answers from someone who’s been there.

You’ll find a mix. Some serve food closer to traditional Korean recipes, especially those run by Korean expats around Chanakyapuri. Others add an Indian twist, which isn’t a bad thing if you want milder flavors. Just ask the server if you want it spicy or more authentic.

Nehru Place and Chanakyapuri are your best bets. Nehru Place has a couple of spots focused on barbecue, while Chanakyapuri hosts smaller, homier joints that serve up classic dishes.

Yes, but it needs a bit of searching. Many places offer vegetable bibimbap or kimchi pancakes without seafood or meat. Just mention your preference upfront because fish sauce sneaks into a lot of dishes.

Most do, especially the popular ones around big commercial hubs. If you want something fresh like barbecue, it’s best to eat there, but for bibimbap or noodles, delivery works fine.

Haemul pajeon, which is a savory seafood pancake, usually styled with spring onions. It pairs beautifully with soju or a light Korean beer. It’s a safe bet if you’re nervous about diving into unfamiliar dishes.

Prices vary, but most spots are reasonable. The barbecue places can be a bit pricier since you’re paying for the grill experience too, but you can usually find good meals under 700 INR.
