It is long overdue that I talk about this restaurant. Most really good restaurants lie within the city limits of Seoul. Bucheon has fantastic Korean food, but most cuisine from other cultures is lackluster and just plain bad in most cases. Not Annapurna. This gem of an Indian restaurant is conveniently located within walking distance of Bucheon Station and across the street from my favorite thrift store (shopping and curry make for a pretty great evening).
First things first: pagodas. These are fried balls of chickpeas, onions and yellow curry. It's kind of like hash browns cakes, sans potato, add more awesome.
Next up, lentils! One of the things I miss from home is lentils. You can get big bags of them at the foreign food markets in Seoul, but the idea of carrying a bag of lentils on the subway or bus for an hour is enough to keep me from buying them. The dal fry here is awesome and full of spicy red and green peppers.
The navaratan curry is my second favorite dish here. It has tons of peas, carrots, green beans, potatoes and onions and it topped with coconut milk.
The best part: Annapurna's nan, covered in a ridiculous amount of garlic. This is probably the main reason I enjoy this place so much. Annapurna also has Strongbow Cider in bottles for around 4,000W. Each curry is around 5,000W and a plate of pagodas is 6,000W. Not bad, considering the huge portion sizes. It's important to take lots of friends and share.
To get to Annapurna, walk straight out of the front of Bucheon Station (the Lotteria side). Walk 2 blocks and take a right. Take your next left and you will see Annapurna on your right on the second floor. They speak English, so if you need help with directions, just give them a call.
