Yeti (Indian Food in Hongdae)

(Directions and map at bottom of post)
Yeti has a great vibe. You walk down into the basement, take off your shoes, sit on the floor, and suddenly you're in India. This place really went all out on the decorations. Now, there is a giant TV on one wall of the dining room, but it doesn't really detract from the atmosphere at all.

There are dinner sets for two and three people. I went with two other people and ordered the three-person set for 45,000 won. Compared to ordering off the menu, it's a good deal and gives you a good variety (samosa, lassis, chicken, prawns, and curry), but for three people, I personally didn't feel there was that much food.

Overall, the quality of the food was standard Indian. It was certainly well-executed and a bit above average, but nothing spectacular. If you're looking for a relaxing and hip atmosphere, though, Yeti definitely has it.

Directions: Go out Exit 5 at the Hongik University station. Make the first left (not at the intersection with the KFC right when you exit the subway, but the next left). Keep going until you pass the Lotteria and you see Hongik University across the street. Turn right and take the first right and start walking up the hill. It will be in the basement of the building next to the Smoothie King.

Alternatively, if you know where the Playground is, it is in the basement of the building next to the Smoothie King.
