IFTAR near Gyeongbokgung in Seoul is held in a renovated traditional Korean hanok and offers certified halal food from the Korean Muslim Federation. It features a welcoming atmosphere with wall art, post-it notes, and a large artificial cherry blossom tree in the central courtyard. Located near Sejong Village Food Street, the restaurant offers Muslim-friendly amenities, including an on-site prayer room and staff who can speak Malay. The service was prompt, and the food was served quickly. The bibimbap—vegetables, fried egg, and beef over rice with gochujang sauce—was enjoyable, and the Beef Sundubu Jjigae was flavorful, with lots of soft tofu. Overall, the taste was satisfactory, though somewhat sweeter than authentic Korean cuisine. The portion sizes felt small for the price, and there were fewer side dishes (banchan) than at similar restaurants.
