Curry Wala received favorable reviews from the local community. Sachin Mahajan, a visitor at the restaurant said, “It provides the closest I've had to mom's cooking since I came to Korea.”
“I wanted to provide real Indian home cooking. I will provide more food in the future and eventually I want to serve Tibetan food, but the ingredients are very hard to find”, said, Dawa, Owner of the restaurant.
Curry Wala is situated in Gwakji, Aewol-eup, just a hundred meters from the beach. The restaurant currently offers a simple set meal of chicken curry, chai tea and chapati for 10,000 won. Makgeolli shakes and lassi are also available for 5,000 won each.

He has clearly settled in well to local life - he has taken Korean citizenship and part from his restaurant he works as a carpenter and fishes in the local seas.
