In that case, direct flight from Seoul to Mumbai is 900,000 won.

Why dont you try and let me know more over I am looking for something in Busan Korea not in India and for your kind information all restaurant here in Busan or Korea mostly belong to North Indian taste So next time if you want to give advice like this then please change the destination to Mumbai to New Delhi or other part of North India.

So for example you found the restaurant out in Sasang 'Korean mixed taste' although it's run by Indians for the large Indian population living in that area?
Gill Anthony
No you are wrong, over there only Indian family are staying and more over Shabana Indian Restaurant is only Indian Restaurant owned by Indian in Busan and Sasang Indian Restaurant is owned by Pakistani.
Indian owned Restaurant in Korea are just few left all owned by Korean and Pakistani.I am staying in Korea from Last 8 year.I also talked with Shabana Indian Restaurant owner about that he also told me that for the Korean People they have to change the taste but mostly they try to provide Indian Taste more over as he opened his restaurant in last summer so he is just beginner So slowly slowly people will start for that more over he is confident on his cook as he qualified cook with having Graduate Degree in Hotel and food Management and experience of 5 Star in India and Dubai thats why he can have open kitchen that people can see what he is cooking even we also see how he was cooking for us more over some of us also try to make Nan with him you can find in photographs.
So any body among you if you are looking for the Indian taste go to Shabana and ask them to change the food taste to Real Indian Taste or you can order first normally then ask them to change the taste to Indian then see the difference and also try to look what he did to change the taste.
So I will strongly recommend Shabana Indian Restaurant for the real Indian taste not any thing else it is expensive then any Korean Restaurant but good in Indian taste with Indian Beer and Wine.

ummmm, Pakistan was India up until around 60 years ago, so to argue that Indian food cooked by a Pakistani is inauthentic is pretty ridiculous. Certainly there are vast differences between the cuisines of the sub-continent's different ethnic groups, but political boundaries don't decide "the real taste." Most of the cuisine here seems to be north-Indian anyways (as in right next to Pakistan...), rather than including any south-Indian deliciousness... or has anyone managed to locate masala dosas anywhere in town?

It was a sarcastic response to your request for a "Real Indian" taste. The only place in the world where you can find "Real" Indian food is in India, since there will always be some measure of compromise in cooking any style of food in a foreign land. Personally, even with three months in the subcontinent, the best Indian food I have ever had was in Toronto. And as for Mumbai, it (1) sits along the theoretical border between 'North' and 'South' India, (2) has some great North Indian restaurants, and (3) doesn't suck like Delhi does. I mean, I figured if you were going to go all the way to India for "Real" Indian food, best to suggest a town that is actually enjoyable to be in, as long as Pakistani gunmen aren't trying to shoot you or rioting pro-Marathi groups aren't trying to lynch your poor Bihari cab driver.

Seconded, both the sentiments and the inquiry about dosas. Also wondering if there is any Keralan cuisine available?

For real! Kerala is arguably the "showcase" state within India - fantastic food, climate, genuinely kind people, (relatively) excellent roads and infrastructure, great wildlife parks, a variety of ecosystems... and the beaches aren't so shabby, either :-)

A little more info on the food for those that don't know: Keralan Cuisine
I'll never forget the amazing banana-leaf meals we had up in the hills in Munnar...
though personally I find idli to be quite disgusting!

Going on taste, not authenticity.

Great India

weird decor, no customers (when I went on a Saturday night). Butter chicken that was pretty disgusting and nothing like butter chicken at all. I reckon the food comes out of a jar. Not good value for money.

Shabana

better decor, no cutomers (when I went on a Sunday night). Butter chicken was better, but still pretty ordinary. Mutton curry wasn't great, the meat didn't seem very fresh, in fact I was worried about getting sick. Nan not very big. Not good value for money.

Sasang restaurants

In general I would say these are better than the 2 places in Kyoungsung. Better value and taste.

Overall, I think you should buy some ingredients online and cook at home. Before you say it's too expensive to buy stuff online, it's not when you think about the crap you'll pay too much for in a restaurant. It might not be authentic but at least you can cook something you might like the taste of.

I think I would give Indian food a miss and eat Korean instead.

Read the Wazwan thread. That place is good.

Also, I think it depends on where you are from and where you have eaten Indian food. Of course the sub continent and neighbouring countries is the real deal. But outside of there, there is huge difference in how the cuisine is inturpretted. For example curries in the UK differ hugely to the curries I ate when I live in the States. And in both countries the restaurants were owned by South Asians. When I first went to Ganga and subsequent other Indian places, I thought that they were more similar to North American style than British style. Which is interesting, because I would guess that the chefs working at Ganga and the other Indian restaurants haven't been to either. Personally I like British style(go figure). But unfortunately I haven't been to India, so can't really say which is the most authentic.
