Amazing food & customer service. The wait staff were very attentive. The atmosphere very peaceful & green (we were in the backyard). We ordered the lentil & Mashawa soup (very tasty), afghani dumplings (Mantoo), mourg chalaw (very tender) & Tikka kebab. If we had one more day in Montreal, would have gone back for their signature dish, the lamb shank.View more

The combo meal that has soup, kabuli pulaw, keer, & tea is not only affordable but also very tasty, & the portion is very huge! I was not able to take photos, but I was very glad that I spent my birthday here & every special occassion.View more

My husband & I were craving Afghan food & this hit the spot! The ambiance, food & service were all great. We really liked the lentil soup & the noodle soup which were both delicious starters. The afghan hospitality was on full display as they accompanied our firnee with cups of chai!View more

We were greeted by the host on entrance & asked if we wanted to sit inside or on the terrace. We were served three sauces, I liked the yogurt one, with some Afghani bite-sized naans. We ordered the 3 course choices that they had. Both of their soups were spot on, & so was the dessert pudding. The dessert was not very sweet, which is how we like it. The tea at the end was the cherry on top. The lamb shank I ordered was decent. The meat was coming off like butter, but it didn't wow me with its taste. We were a bit disappointed by the meatballs. They hardly looked like meatballs but rather two big pucks of meat. The sauce tasted better than the lambshank but was overly tomatoey. The service was outstanding! The waiters were really nice! The atmosphere was fantastic. It took me back to Afghanistan with all the cultural decoration.View more

Food was really good, friendly staff & cosy ambiance. We ordered Kabuli Palaw, Sabzi Chalaw, Combo Vege, Mantoo plate, Mourg kebab & waiter told us that owner offer us complimentary soups which are very good too! We have a great time & highly recommend dinning at Khyber Pass if you are in Montreal.View more

Delicious traditional afghan food & very cool atmosphere. Maybe I'm biased because I'm half afghan, but I loved it! The lamb shank withe the kabuli palaw was so tender. I recommend get one of the table d'hote options for someone with a big appetite & wants to try the soup, maybe an appetizer, & desser with tea or coffee. Very cute patioView more

Not only the best Afghan food I've ever had, but probably one of the best MEALS I've ever had in my life. Everything down to the last kernel of rice was aromatic, delectably spiced, & tender. I previously had a favorite lentil soup at another place, but Khyber Pass has dethroned that other lentil soup. The rose pudding was creamy & comforting.
The service was rapid & impeccable.
This is definitely a restaurant/cuisine for you if you appreciate cardamom.
I will say that the menu is mostly focused on meat dishes, however, I actually did an entirely vegetarian spread when I went, & it was scrumptious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the post-dinner tea. I am very much a snob about tea, so often expect to be disappointed by something served in a restaurant, but it was really nice & smooth.View more

Interesting enough the soup was my favoriteView more
Jessica
My first time trying Afghan food & it's so good!! we ordered Set 2 (comes with soup, main course, dessert, & tea/coffee) & everything was delicious. Also, I don't normally like lamb but I heard that it's really good here, so I ordered it & it's the first lamb I've actually enjoyed! The pistachio rose pudding was absolutely heavenly & the tea was so floral & spiced!View more

Amazing afghani food & beautiful restaurant! It's like entering another world. They have so many amazing dishes & their table d'hote options is amazing. I chose the mashaba soup, mantou, & kabuli palaw. It also came with bread & dipping sauce, tea (or coffee) & the pistachios rose pudding. It was a feast. We were really full after & everything was delicious. The service was amazing as well. We really enjoyed it!View more

Stumbled across this place while exploring the neighborhood on a visit to Montreal, & went in because we had never tried Afghan cuisine. Lucky for us they had 1 unreserved table. My wife & I each had a different lamb shank dish, & the lentil soup. From the flatbread they brought to the table, to the soup & the entrees, everything was exquisite. Khyber Pass was a definite highlight of out trip to Montreal. If we go back to the city, this restaurant will definitely be on the itinerary.View more

We were visiting Montréal for the day & wanted to have dinner somewhere nice. After doing some research on Google, we came across this restaurant that was highly rated (& for good reason). We didn't have a reservation, but we were seated quickly after walking in. They have a lovely outdoor patio in the back, which we chose to sit at as the weather was beautiful that evening. Service was friendly & fast, & the food options were all delicious. We tried a number of dishes, including soups, salads, & appetizers. Their main dishes were spectacular, & the food seemed to be prepared fresh. I wish I had more pictures to share, but we were hungry & didn't wait to take photos before digging in. I highly recommend trying this place out if you are considering doing so.View more

La table d'hôte est parfaite pour une première visite. Nous avons combiné une table d'hôte 1 & une table d'hôte 2 pour n'avoir qu'une seule entrée à partager. Les portions sont énormes. Tout était bon. Coup de coeur pour la soupe mashaba (boeuf & nouilles) & les mantoo (dumplings au poireau avec sauce à la viande & yogourt). Service très efficace, mais limite un peu trop expéditif (aucun temps de repos entre les services). Bonus: on peut apportez notre vin.View more
Eve
Malheureusement, il manquait de saveur à chacun des services que j'ai commandé. La soupe maison était correcte, la brochette de poulet était vraiment fade... Il y avait seulement un choix de dessert, laiteux & chaud; je pense que certains peuvent apprécier mais ce n'était pas mon cas. Globalement, pour le prix payé & le manque d'épices, je ne recommande pas.View more
Alice
Super restaurant BYOB :) je recommande les menus table d'hôte ! J'ai pris la soupe de lentilles maison (bien aillée & délicieuse), le borani à la citrouille en entrée, le plat d'agneau en plat (délicieux !!). Ça finit par un thé & un pudding à la rose & à la pistache que je n'ai pas aimé par contre. L'ambiance est top, c'est pas trop bruyant fait qu'on s'entend parler, & la bouffe est généreuse :D je suis repartie avec des restes.View more

Do not miss out on the Kabuli Palaw (lamb shank). We also loved the Borani eggplant & the lentil soup.View more

Great food, good atmosphere, a great terrace in summer & reasonable price. It is BYOB which is great. Mashaba soup, Kabuli palow, chupan kebab & the rose pistachio pudding are amazing.View more

Had a delicious meal at Khyber Pass. The table d'hôte is very reasonably priced at 40$ & comes with soup, entrée, main course, & dessert. Everything was delicious! Tasty & healthy. Bring your own wine too which is super fun. 5/5!View more
Behnam
I recently dined at Khyber Pass, an Afghan restaurant, & had a mixed experience. The lentil soup was delicious, & the Korma chalaw offered a variety of rice, though it was just okay & not much tasty, & the rice was a bit cold. The rose water pudding & tea were delightful. It's a small venue, so reservations are recommended. However, the overall experience felt overpriced. Bring your wine, as the restaurant doesn't offer alcoholic drinks.View more

nous visitons notre restaurant préféré 2 fois par an. nous prenons toujours la soupe Kabuli à l'agneau & l'entrée au choix Ashak & manto le service est super comme toujours notre dernière visite ce mois-ci a été décevante, notre pates bouilies farcies avec boeuf hache & poireaux bien secs & sans sel ni epices ..il faut en changer. J'espère que le propriétaire changera ou achètera un produit frais & savoureux. pourquoi changeraient-ils quelque chose de délicieux en quelque chose de différent. j'écris ce commentaire pour partager mon point de vue. j'adore ce restaurant nous sommes heureux que vous soyez ouvert bientôt nous vous rendrons visite avec un grand groupe pour notre bureau de fête de noël merci
