First Nepal Indian and Nepalese Restaurant at Ewha University

First Nepal over at Ewha University is an enjoyable place to have a quiet meal. They are brave for sticking it out in the Italian-Food-Crazed, Cafe-plentiful Ewha University Area. I hope they are doing all right because the day I was there, there was only 1 table. I guess the student's had tests that day. I ordered the Veggie Set (12,000 won) and it came with Salad, Palak Paneer (My favorite), Naan, and a Lassi.

The salad was quite humdrum. Honey Mustard with Mayo doesn't rock my world. The vegetables were crisp, although...meh...I would get it again with dressing (or a vinaigrette on the side).

The friend I went with- I believe he got- the Nepal Chicken Curry. It was tomatoey and buttery and spicy. I mean it would have gone great over pasta and I guess it was alright on Naan.

The Naan was hot and a bit doughy. It wasn't bad- just not crisp enough for me.

Here's my friend giving his curry the shocker.

Here's the Palak Paneer. This I recommend. The curry is thick enough and it has ample amounts of paneer- although I could always live with more. The really great thing is that they add a bit of an unusual spice. I want to say cardamon, but it might have been anise. I guess I'll have to go back to find out.

Here's the lassi. Very good and since it was included with the meal, great value for money. Oh, and this one did have a bit of anise to it.

The owner is super kind and came over to ask us how we were and they even brought some extra naan for free! Nice.

The interior is bright and clean. It's your typical decor.

First Nepal. Go out Ewha University Subway Station Exit 2 and make the second right (just past the Yes apm). It's on the second floor about a block down to your left.
