A very good place with absolutely delicious food. We have visited Khyber Pass several times already, & every single time everything was excellent - great taste, good quality, & nice atmosphere.
Highly recommended! 👍
Luca
Amazing food & atmosphere!
We had the filet mignon brochette plate, perfectly cooked, tender, & full of flavor. The spices were spot on, & the portions were generous.
It's bring your own wine, so we showed up with a proper Poli Limoncello which made the night even better. The staff was warm, the vibe was relaxed, & everything felt authentic & welcoming.
An amazing night overall, highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy great Afghan food with friends!

The Khyber Pass is a great experience & highly recommended! There are two set menus that are a great value & allow you to sample across the menu. The soups as starters are recommended as salad comes with main plates. Every dish we tried was excellent: freshly made, good ingredients & cooked to perfection. The service was attentive & professional. There is great outdoor garden seating & a nice indoor area as well. I would love to go back & sample everything on the menu. Be sure to take your own wine & they are happy to serve it to you. This is the best restaurant experience I have had in a long time.
Note that currently for Friday & Saturdays there are two dinner seatings a 5 pm & 7:30 pm. The restaurant opens at 5 pm so call & leave your name & they will get back to you to confirm. Luckily there was space on the day we went, but be prepared if you only try to reserve on short notice.

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but they have the NICEST outdoor patio. The food was absolutely amazing & their rose, pistachio dessert was like a milky whipped dream. Delicious! They don't sell alcohol but you can bring your own wine or beer & there's no corking fee! Highly recommend. The waiters were funny & super attentive. Enjoy!

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Wow, just amazing food. For the entrée we got the leek stuffed pasta, & it was amazing. For the main we got the quail, it was juicy & deliciously seasoned to perfection (apparently the spice mix is a secret that the chef keeps to himself!). We also got the lamb shank, it was so amazingly tender, falling off the bone. I've never eaten such delicious meat in my life. Just wow. The rose pudding felt like a soft cloud inside my mouth, aromatic with notes of pistachios & cardamon, perfect to finish the meal. I recommend going there when you're hungry, because the portions are quite big. The table d'hôte is quite worth it. Our waiter was very nice & fast. Overall an amazing experience. 10/10 highly reccomend.

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.

After an 8-hour journey, all I needed was a good meal that felt like home. I searched for an Afghan restaurant in Montreal & ended up at Khyber Pass - & honestly, it was the best decision I made that day.
No waiting... The staff was super welcoming & kind, which already set the vibe right. Then came the food… & it blew me away. The flavors were so authentic, it genuinely felt like I was back home for a moment. I had been craving that exact taste for so long, & nowhere else hit the mark like this place did.
Everything - from the atmosphere to the service to the food - was simply amazing. Highly, highly recommend it if you're looking for a real Afghan food experience in Montreal.

Very friendly staff & a very homely atmosphere. BYOB (Wine) restaurant. The owner is a noble soul, & a very quick service. Food was perfectly cooked & served. Went two times consecutively in two days! Highly recommended.

I've been here twice, the second time within a few weeks of the first because I loved the food so much. Highly recommend going with the set menu in order to sample all of the dishes; really great value for all the food you get. I've enjoyed every dish I've had, from the bread & dips right to the dessert. Highlights for me are the sambossa, borani aubergines, kabuli palaw, & korma chalaw. We got lucky the first time as a group of 5 people without a reservation, but in general I would recommend making a reservation. The only suggestion for improvement would be more consistent service. The first visit, we had very attentive, helpful service where the waiter explained the dishes & also told us our options for different types of tea. The second time, a few weeks ago, the service felt quite impersonal & almost rushed, & I received a black tea instead of being asked for my preferences. That said, the host noticed I was quite cold & actually turned the heat up for me, & the timing of each course was great.

Best Afghan food, high quality food! I did not know Afghan food before this & I have not been able to find another Afghan restaurant that matches the quality here. Highly recommend!
George
Delicious foods, especially the lamb. Highly recommend to reserve ahead of time as it can get very busy. BYOB

I have no bad things to say about this restaurant. The ambience was super cozy & I felt very welcome. Their value for the table d'hôte is incredible if you want to sample many dishes. Everything we ordered was so so flavourful & well spiced. The lamb was incredibly tender. I highly recommend the ashak dumplings & the pumpkin appetizer. This restaurant is well worth the visit.

I recently dined at Afghanic Restaurant & had an exceptional experience. The ambiance was warm & inviting, & the food was incredibly flavorful, offering a delightful taste of authentic Afghan cuisine. Mobeen's hospitality stood out the most; he made us feel right at home with his attentive & friendly service. It's rare to find such genuine & personalized attention. I highly recommend Afghanic Restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy great food & outstanding service.

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.

Great food; good portions & excellent flavours; not salty, greasy, or overpowering. Also a strong variety of meat with some good vegetarian options too. Service was fast, respectful, & accommodating to us. Reservations are highly recommended. You can bring your own wine.
