Last evening, had been to the Dongtan Suembu Indian/Nepali restaurant. It is rare to get good Indian restaurants around town and so when this idea of eating out propped up, we chose to go to a new place, along with our Korean friend.
At the outset, I was surprised to find Korean staff there. Since the Suwon branch is run by a Nepali family, I presumed this was a branch. This is more of an independently run restaurant except for the name, which has probably been licensed/franchised from the Suwon restaurant.
I was impressed by the ambience when we entered. The staff were courteous.
Our ordered food came relatively quickly. And, the taste, quite delectable.
I also got to meet the chef, who is from Mumbai.
Durng the course of our eating, I was quite curious, how a Korean started this restaurant with a Nepali connection..While paying our bill, I came to know of the owner's involvement with social service in Nepal. Mr. DongHyon Kim(김동현), the owner, had been there a few times to help some children's cause. And, over the years, this Nepali connection grew. He informed me that he quit his job and started this restaurant last year.
The prices were reasonable for the quality.
