Why you can trust SCMP

Fare This Pakistani curry shop, established more than 30 years ago and much loved by Jordan locals, serves a range of halal curries in spicy or tomato-based versions.

Ambience Resembles a local cha chaan teng with minimal decoration and simple tables and chairs that are closely packed. There is a fake 'Ah Lung' next door so make sure to get the correct address.

Cost About HK$60 per person.

Who to bring Anyone looking for a quick, filling bite that is a step above fast food.

Turn-ons The dishes available for people who can't take too much spice was appreciated. We tried the beef brisket (below), called 'breast of beef' on the menu, in the tomato-sauce version and the beef was tender and the tomato sauce sweet, a perfect match with plain white rice. There are three levels of spiciness on the menu - if you are looking for a fiery curry, choose the hottest grade as the medium was quite mild.

Turn-offs The chef stayed true to tradition with the chicken curry, keeping the sauce watery. The chicken, however, was nothing more than bones and fatty skin.
