I think its called Petra (its up behind the church at the far end of Itaewon). I went there on sunday, and quite simply OH MY GOD. Its REALLY REALLY good. Best food I've had here since my arrival 6months ago.

They do kebabs, chicken and lamb dishes and a decent range of entrees as well. The price goes from cheap to reasonable and the staff are really friendly.

Seriously go their get the Kofta or sultan lamb with some naan style bread (freshly cooked there). Lol I'm talking myself into a return visit tonight!

Anyway, if you like that regions food then definately check it out.

I can so top that. For the best Indian/Pakistani food, you MUST go to Evergreen. The bread alone is worth dying for. The waitstaff is extremely friendly; the guy that works there is hot. Every person I've taken there has been back repeatedly. I don't like spicy food, but I love this place. YOU MUST GO THERE.

Can you get filled naans? (Keema, peshwari?) if so let me at it! And where is it?

Perhaps you mean Petra? (not Pattaya the Thai restaurant)

Either way, Petra is a great little restaurant...

Being the jealous sort, and hungry on top of it, I am willing to forego a flame if someone posts pretty specific directions to either/both Petra and Evergreen.

I'm coming up to Seoul this weekend, in part to collect on two dinners owed to me. The timing of this food tip couldn't be better.

I don't know about Evergreen, but Petra's not too hard to find.

Go to Noksapyeong Stn., get out at exit 1, take the pedestrian walkway that crosses the road over to the Lexus building, and turn right as soon as you've crossed that walkway. You'll be on a little road that's hugged by the road between Itaewon and Noksapyeong Stations. Just follow that a little bit and look up on the left side of this little road. There will be two sets of staircases, and the right set leads to Petra.

Evergreen is about a five minute (if you stroll) walk from Burger King on Itaewon. Technically not on Itaewon. It's the side street next to Burger King. I've been there about 5 times, and I've only gotten a stomachache from eating too much. I always have to take it home with me and eat it the next day.
