Welcome on board to this site and welcome in Jordan once you landed here.

Some large stores sells Indian food but they are expensive.
All things which are imported are expensive due high custom taxes.

So I advise you, if possible, to bring as much as you can your own stock for spices etcetera to cook your own meal.

I cant give you any information where are Indian restaurants, what you can do is go to Google.jo and search.
Hopefully you get some results what you're looking for.

Happy searching!

Unlike The Gulf Countries, Jordan don't have large number of Indian expats. Hence, Indian food would be considered exotic and little expensive.

I agree that you better bring your spices along but, with all due respect, mind the smelly stuff. That may not be welcomed in the country.

Really ! Me and a few of my friends have been looking for so long, and couldnt find! In Kabatilo, in donw town, other shops... would you recommend a shop to look at?

Don't know the street name in down town but if you stand in front of the main post office you go to the right upwards the hill.
You past a tiny corner sandwich store " snack 22" (which have very delicious sandwiches).
After around 200 meters you'll see a spice shop on your right.  There you can buy turmeric roots.

After some research the street name where you have to walk into calls Al Kabreeti

here you have a link with a map: https://www.google.jo/maps/place/Snack+ … 055656c20f
