Hyderabad’s first Korean restaurant Goguryeo offers plenty of culture to feast upon

with an authentic Korean barbecue experience and K-pop booming through the speakers, Goguryeo in Madhapur is fast becoming a hallyu hotspot

If you have watched K-dramas, the next thing you want to try in Korean cuisine. The sight of K-drama actors relishing Korean fried chicken, japchae, bibimbap, kimbap, ramyun, kimchi pancake and grilled meats is sure to have you craving to taste them.

Hyderabad finally has a restaurant dedicated to authentic Korean cuisine. Called Goguryeo, the restaurant is run by Cho Min Yun, a Korean national who has lived in Hyderabad for more than a decade. She used to cater Korean food on request to friends and acquaintances but as word spread along with the cultural hallyu (Korean wave), order numbers for her Korean food increased on weekends. “So I decided to start a restaurant. With the popularity of K-drama and K-pop, there is a growing interest in Korean food as well,” Cho Min Yun elaborates.
