Masala Papad

2.5

at Everest

-Changsin, Jongro, Seoul, Republic of Korea-

with MtG + S

Haven’t been to Everest, which has always been my favorite Indian/Nepali restaurant, in nearly 9 years.

So relieved to see that it’s still around.  And doing well: the place was humming the entire duration of our meal.

Masala Papad is an Indian dish.  Described on the menu as: “lentil crackers with onion, tomatoes and vegetable spicy toppings.”

It was pretty good.  Typically served as an appetizer, we ordered it at the end of the meal, a light anju to munch on while we kept drinking.  Papad, plus peas and peanuts, with just enough aromatics and masala seasonings to keep it interesting without leaving everything soggy/messy.

Overall, the food was great.

That’s why the business continues to thrive.
