Hello everyone,
My name is Kavikumar. I am living in south Korea main Land around 4 years.
I traveled to Jeju Island three days ago to attend an international conference at Shinhwa World. One evening, my Indian friends and I were looking for an Indian restaurant using Kakao Map, which directed us to a hotel name called Yatri, about 25 kilometers away. Despite the heavy rain that day, we decided to drive to the restaurant in a rental car with three Indian friends and one friend from another country.
When we arrived and were about to enter the restaurant, a Korean woman stopped us to give us some instructions. She informed us that each person must order at least one item from the menu if we wanted to dine in; otherwise, we would have to order takeout. We agreed, but then, quite rudely, she repeated multiple times, "All Indian people cannot choose one item from the menu." She continued to emphasize "Indian people" in a way that felt unnecessary and rude. We were surprised and asked why she kept singling us out like that. We assured her that we would follow their policy of ordering one item each, but her behavior felt discriminatory and unkind. Soon, another person came out and repeated the same message in a harsh tone.
This was the worst behavior I’ve encountered in my four years of living in Korea. I’ve never experienced anything like this before. Feeling offended and unwelcome, we left the restaurant. I hope to see better treatment and more respectful behavior from people in such situations...
Read moreIt was unfortunately the worst Indian food experience in Korea due to following reasons: The staff is highly unprofessional, disrespectful and annoyingly arrogant. She angrily refused to allot the vacant table towards window despite the fact it was not reserved or non-functional. A very strange rule 1 person-1 curry or more rule that I never saw before anywhere else. This means two people cannot share a single curry only. The taste is too sour and it feels mix vegetable curry and Chicken tikka were just cooking in a same spice paste. Each Indian recipe is known for a specific combination of spices but this restaurant cooking staff seems to have no idea about the methods of cooking Indian cuisine at least for Mix vegetable and Chicken tikka curry. Naan is supposed to be soft but this restaurant serves a naan which is brittle as a rice cracker. Horrible to be honest. Price of samosa is way too high.
I would never recommend this restaurant if you're visiting Jeju and want to experience Indian cuisine because this restaurant and it's management in particular is portraying a terrible image of Indian cuisine culture which in reality is highly respectful, sophisticated and taste rich. Eating in this restaurant will make you hate India cuisine culture. Never go...
Read moreHeads up! The Korean owner is an Indian racist although she runs an Indian restaurant. The irony is lost on us. All brown people take note. Be prepeared to face her fury. I pity the husband who prolly has to take her spastic behavior
This is the worst place to go with kids. The owner the rudest person I have encountered in this beautiful city. We entered the restaurant and the first thing we were told is to ensure our kids don’t make noise. I am confused if we were entering a library or a restaurant . The owner then told us to get out of the place of our kids could not comply. I am sure the owner doesnt need your business. Zero stars for this one of a kind place . Surely doesn’t reflect the...
