Ambiance très agréable & nourriture excellente ! Je recommande

We took a while to get going with our meal because the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived (the server warned us). But the service was fast & the food was delicious. Lamb shanks (whichever variety) is a must have. The vegetarian platter (ladies finger, egg plant, cauliflower & mixed greens) was fantastic. The trio of basmati rice is a wonderful accompaniment. We brought a bottle of red wine to enjoy with our meal, sitting outside in the courtyard. Authentic & generous portions.

Everything about this place is amazing! The ambience, the staff, & of course the best thing being THE FOOD! My partner & I went here for the first time after hearing multiple friends rave about the place & have no regrets. We will 110% be back again & spread the word to others what they're missing out on. We both got the two different lamb shank dishes: one with tomatoes sauce & other with the carrots & raisins & both were incredible. Anyone should be pleased by the price for what you get & it's quality. & it's BYOB.. another bonus!

Le repas était bon & copieux mais le serveur peu sympa & pressé de nous enlever les assiettes .Dommage ça casse l ambiance.

Encore une visite à ce resto & nous ne sommes jamais déçus.
La nourriture & le service étaient excellents & très abordable pour des plats très copieux!

En prime, nous étions sur la terrasse intérieure, quelle ambiance!
Il faut y retourner souvent!

Cozy restaurant with great Afghanistan food. I got the Kabuli Palaw with lamb shank, a very filling rice dish with spices & raisins making for a savory & fruity combination. The rice pudding was really good, it was sweet, floral, & subtle with warming cardamom spice.

We took two soups for an entree, which the lentil soup, I can say, was amazing! The main dish was kabuli polow with a lamb shank which just melts in the mouth with shredded carrots.
Definitely one of the best spots in the city.

Had a lovely meal at Khyber Pass! The Kabuli Pulaw with lamb & the mantu were both delicious. The portion sizes were generous & the prices were reasonable, especially for the area.
Our waiter was fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxed, & the terrace seating was a really nice touch, especially on a pleasant evening.
I do wish they served bolani & chapli kebab, which are some of our favorite Afghan dishes & would round out the menu nicely. Interestingly, most of the diners were not Afghan. Would go back if in Montreal!

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.

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.

Go for the Kabuli pulaw, succulent & soft lamb shanks are totally worth it!
The eggplant for appetizers was delicious 😋 😍

Staff & service was perfect. The lamb shank, fillet mignon & the rose water pudding were great .. love this place .

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!

Excellent ambiance conviviale & fleurie sur la terrasse arrière. Ma famille avons adoré la bouffe & très bon service de notre serveur Massoud.
Merci!

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.

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.
Matine
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 patio
