Eating Out Can Lead To Korrhea

I'm not really into eating, but I must survive; I couldn't bear the alternative just yet. My point is, I can't be really relied upon as an expert of food, but, since there isn't enough mention of it, I'd like to bring to your attention, if you're ever in Delhi (India), the Korean restaurant called Dokebi Nara. It's a small place, and a decent review of it has already been done here.

The most fun thing is finding this place - I guess the Metro came up after the review above, so as a tip, the nearest station is Ramakrishna Ashram Marg on the Blue Line. Get out on the Ashram side and take a right, keep walking till the first large intersection. Then take the small lane to the left and you come to the 'small square' mentioned in the review.

More than anything, the atmosphere of the place is warm and reminiscent of a beachside shack at Goa, especially at night. The food is perhaps not in tune with the spice requirements of the Indian palate, but good enough, and chand (No, you read 'filling', 'filling'). Let me reiterate that it takes ages for you to get your order, mainly I guess because there's only two guys running the whole show, and the food is all freshly prepared.

The walls are covered with messages and doodles scrawled by customers - look for an Achaya when you're there (UPDATE: The wall has been whitewashed, alas!). Another thing I guess you could try is the Korean booze 'Chamisul Fresh Soju', empty bottles of which line the parapet - it's 350 INR though, so it hasn't quenched this poor man's thirst. Yet.

Fresh, all right!
