Un peu déçue... nous étions deux & avons commandé la table d'hôte pour 37$ chacun avec 2 plats différents (agneau & Kofta). Les deux plats étaient mijotés dans la même sauce tomate, peu épicé, goût subtil, mais la viande était très tendre. Le goût de la sauce tomate prenait trop le dessus. En entrée : Salade basique, pas assaisonné & grossièrement préparée (gros morceaux d'oignons, la tête de la tomate n'était pas retirée...). Les riz étaient bons, mais en petite quantité & servie avec la même salade qu'en entrée.. Dessert : pudding eau de rose. Très bon, mais manquait de pistache (c'était saupoudré de quelques miettes fines de pistache). Aussi déçue par le thé qui était trop dilué. Pour les personnes qui aiment les goûts francs, les épices & la nourriture fidèle à la culture, c'est très décevant. Je m'attendais aussi à une cuisine plus fine. On se sent un peu comme dans une salle à manger, style cantine. D'autres resto afghans plus «casual» offrent de meilleurs plats & plus savoureux pour un prix beaucoup plus raisonnable.
Khyber Pass offers authentic Afghan cuisine served in a charming cave-like setting with stone walls, creating a memorable & intimate atmosphere. The menu features traditional dishes bursting with rich flavors & aromatic spices. The attentive service enhances the dining experience, making it a standout choice for exploring Afghan culinary delights in Montreal. A must try for those visiting.

Première expérience pour cuisine afghane. Excellent! Relevé sans être piquant. Ils savent cuisiner avec les herbes & aromates. Nous y retournerons. Seul bémol: difficulté à stationner dans le secteur.
Amazing afghani restaurant! Delicious food, fantastic service, authentic & interesting decor. Our waiter was the most delightful young man & we were able to talk about our Persian connection. We ordered the mantoo to start, kofta, & chicken kabob. Everything was delicious, seasoned/spiced perfectly, & very filling. Will definitely come back again.

La nourriture afghane est la plus parfumée que je connaisse. C'est vraiment un dépaysement pour les papilles. Je recommande les brochettes d'agneau. Elles étaient excellentes. Le riz qui est très parfumé est littéralement sublime. Le seul point faible qui n'a aucun rapport avec le restaurant est le stationnement. On est sur la rue Duluth donc faut connaître les pièges de la ville de Montréal.
As an afghan girl myself who consumed afghan food all my life, i can confirm that this passed the vibes check & did hit the spot for the only time i didn't wanted to cook at home. The aush, the mantoo, the banjan borani & the kofta chalaw were 10/10. Very mazadar tashaku khyber team
This is the best Afghani food I've ever tasted till now. The service was good, the place is always full, make sure to reserve in advance, it's a bring ur own wine place, the inside is good as well, we really felt transported to Afghanistan! Prices are reasonable, it is the authentic Afghani place in Montreal so far. Enjoy the food! Cheers
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.
Great spot for Afghan food in the mile end. I had the table d’hôte with Kabuli Palaw. The lamb was tender & fall off the bone, the rice was very flavourful. The rose pistachio pudding was delicious. BYOB, good portion size & the staff were kind & attentive.
Amazing place to have authentic Afghan cuisine. I loved their service & their recommendations. The back patio looks lovely & fyi you can bring your own wine to have it with your food.
