FFF (as their shirts proudly display) has been serving delicious food in Enmore for years and years, and is hands down one of the best late night, cheap eats Pakistani restaurants in Sydney. With its giant tandoors and menu which entices your eyes to be way bigger than your stomach, it is somewhere you enter with a big appetite and heart full of expectation, and never fail to leave groaning with fullness and satisfaction.

| Goat Korma Masala, $16.50 |
"Melty" is the first word to jump to mind when thinking about this rich, comforting curry. Slightly spicy, it is the flavour that packs a punch rather than the chili. Not even a drop of it was left by the end of the meal - when the goat pieces were picked clean, the sauce still had bits and pieces of meat, fat and all that good stuff.

| Seekh Kabab, $12.50 |
Wonderfully spiced and salty (perhaps a tad too salty on its own), my favourite way to enjoy these minced beef kabab pieces is to drizzle with mint sauce (pictured below) and wrap them in a comforting doona of naan.
 |
| Mint Sauce, $2.50 |
A refreshing sauce to tame the heat and balance the salt. Wonderful on almost everything.
 |
| Chicken Karahi, $16.50 |
A Pakistani-style chicken curry with boneless pieces of chicken, tomatos, ginger and garlic. Karahi is the Hindi word for "pot" and it is a nod to the vessel in which this curry is cooked. Although delicious in its own right, I'm afraid it doesn't stand out amongst the rest of the dishes. That isn't a criticism of this dish per se (though it uses chicken breast, which is not my preference - dark meat all the way), but a testament to how good everything else was.

| Three Vegetable Dishes on Rice, $13 |
I absolutely loved this, particularly the fragrant, buttery rice. Featuring aloo baingan (eggplant and potato cooed with tomato and spices), chickpea and palak paneer (spinach with cheese), this triple threat was comforting and yet a party of flavours at the same time.
 |
| Hot Mango Pickle, $3.50 |
Not for the faint of heart - though not for its heat but for its saltiness - this adds a real oomph to anything it is paired with. Vibrant, strong and a little pungent, I would certainly recommend giving it a go.
 |
| Garlic and Cheese Naan $5.50, Garlice Naan, $4 |
Made fresh front of house before one's eyes (but of course), the naan, far from being a boring vessel with which to deliver curries, could be the star of its own show. Chewy, bouncy, satisfying and deliciously oily, this is carbs in finest form.
Score: 4/5
Price: between $25-$45pp, depending on how hungry you are
