Where could anyone get better Korean food in Delhi than the actual Koreans place? Korean Cultural Centre has caught our eye. Their new café Dal-Grak is a stroke of genius. This is as close to Korea as you’ll get without having to leave Delhi at all. In fact, it’s located in the heart of south Delhi. Dal-Grak is our dream next door Korean café. It’s built in viral shades and wooden finish with a touch of Korea. A visit to this mind-blowing place is the best excuse to see the Korean Culture Centre. Their art exhibitions are always inspiring. A huge space is dedicated to the arts here. You’ll find the works of brilliant artists in the building decorating its nooks and corners. Their atrium style lobby reflects pink and blue from all sides. You pass that beautiful sight to enter arguably the best Korean place in Delhi.
What is it
Korean food is on the rise in trends right now. Delhi has seen some truly good places like Busan at Majnu Ka Tilla. That has a whole other vibe, but when it comes to a work café in south Delhi, Dal-Grak is topping the charts. This place is notably always full, speaking volumes about their quality. Koreans and tourists are sure to be found on at least one, usually five, at all times. You have to place the order and pay first at the counter. This was actually a pleasant experience because their staff is very polite and helpful. They can judge what you’ll like most of the times and suggest bang on recommendations. The people here are the same way. Everybody is jolly and chatting but, somehow it never gets noisy.
Where’s the food
Their ramen is just the best. For those of you who have been frantically searching for your go to ramen place, look no further. Korean Spicy Tteok Ramyeon (₹270) with eggs is hot and spicy while simultaneously being soothing. It’s packed with a lot of flavour from the meat; noodles are cooked to perfection and no extra spices are required. However, nobody can say no to their homemade kimchi. The Original Bibimbap is another safe bet at ₹410. If you’re feeling a little crazy but have no idea what to get, just ask for help.
Dal-Grak is home to its regulars. The most diverse set of customers sit next to each other and just enjoy the ride. You’ll hear K-pop in the background and people speaking different languages. Korean places cannot be more Korean than this. Feel the magic yourself!
