The standout dish at JoJo—Chef Arjun's version is frequently mentioned in reviews as the reason to visit. The lamb is cooked until fork-tender and the gravy clings richly to each piece. Multiple reviews specifically praise the balance of spices and lack of cream (pure spiced tomato-yogurt sauce). The portion is generous, and the flavor improves on subsequent days.
Tips from diners
Order the rogan josh and ask Chef Arjun to make it as spicy as he would for his family—the standard version is toned down for Hong Kong tastes.
The dal at JoJo is creamy and well-seasoned—not a thin soup, but a proper preparation. The lentils are cooked until fully tender and the tempering (cumin seeds popped in hot oil) adds aroma and texture. This serves as a sides dish and comes complimentary with dinner combos. The consistency suggests careful technique.
Tips from diners
The dal comes with most combo meals. If ordering à la carte, ask for a side of dal—it's the perfect balance to rich curries and costs only 40-50.
The dosa represents JoJo's South Indian offerings. The crepe is crispy and paper-thin, cooked on a griddle and filled with spiced potato masala. Served with sambar (spiced lentil soup) and coconut chutney. This is a lighter option compared to North Indian curries and works well as a lunch dish or alternative to rice-based mains.
Tips from diners
Dosa is popular at lunch and available as part of the brunch buffet. If going à la carte, pair it with another South Indian side like uppma.
JoJo's tandoori chicken is reliable and consistent—not innovative, but executed well. The marinade is yogurt-based with traditional spices. Cooked in the tandoor, the exterior chars while the meat stays moist. Served with lemon wedge and onion. This is a straightforward, no-surprises option that diners appreciate for its reliability.
Tips from diners
The lunch buffet (168-188) includes tandoori chicken, dal, rice, naan, and sides. Best value on the menu if you want variety.
Bhuna is a drier curry style where the sauce reduces significantly and clings to the meat. JoJo's version achieves this balance perfectly—the lamb absorbs the spiced sauce without becoming dry. The result is richer and more concentrated in flavor than curries with thinner gravies. Reviewers note this as an excellent alternative to rogan josh with notably generous portions.
Tips from diners
This comes with more spice than rogan josh naturally. Perfect if you prefer heat without having to request adjustments.
JoJo Indian Cuisine started as JoJo Mess Club in Wan Chai in 1985 and has remained a fixture in the local community for nearly 40 years. The restaurant moved to its current location (David House on Lockhart Road) five years ago but maintains the same commitment to authentic North and South Indian cuisine. Chef Arjun leads the kitchen, known for strong rogan josh and generous portions. JoJo has built its reputation on consistency, attentive service, and reasonable pricing rather than pretension.
JoJo is a neighborhood gem rather than a showstopping fine-dining destination. Come for reliable, honest Indian food at fair prices with attentive service.
Lunch buffet (11:30-15:00) at 168-188 HKD is the best value. Weekdays are quieter than weekends—ideal for a peaceful meal.
Dinner à la carte mains run 198-298. A complete dinner for one (main + rice + dal + drink) typically costs 400-500 HKD, making it affordable for regular visits.
