Vraiment bon, jamais testé afghan auparavant & je ne suis pas déçu. Le personnel était chaleureux & très accueillant & les plats à la même hauteur. Je reviendrai sans hésiter & je recommande.
Enjoyed our meal. Food was homey, simple & satisfying. Portions were generous & great value. Service was friendly & professional. Highly recommend for an affordable, homey & comforting meal.
A couple of weeks after this review I noticed that they charged the tip after the tax which is now illegal. Iv'e seen news coverage saying this has been happening. Take a good look at your bill.
Stepping into this beautiful joint on Duluth feels like stepping foot in Afghanistan. The atmosphere is lovely, warm & welcoming. Delicious, authentic food with meat cooked to perfection. Reasonable prices & a very enjoyable experience overall! Will definitely recommend to others.
I went for dinner with a few friends & the experience was amazing. The service was great & the food was delicious.
I got the Table D'Hote #1 with the lentil soup, Ashak (leek dumplings), & kabuli palaw. The soup tasted like traditional dal, very nice. The Ashak was amazing, basically dumplings with a different flavor. The Kabuli Palaw was truly the star! The rice was soft, the lamb was melting off the bone.
The staff was really nice, very attentive but not hovering. You could really take your time sitting there, eating food, & enjoying conversations. Highly recommend!
Fantastic dining experience from start to finish ! It was our first time, but won't be our last. This BYOW Afghan resto had ambiance & amazing food at reasonable prices, & great service.
We had the table d'hote #2 to try as much as possible. Started with a delicious lentil soup, followed by a massive Kabuli Palaw (roasted fork-tender lamb shank) accompanied by a huge plate of savory brown basmati rice, flavoured with afghan spices, raisins & carrot juliennes. Absolute amazing !
Other lamb dishes sampled were the Sabzi Chalaw (with spinach) & Korma Chalaw (tomato based), all equally delicious. Reservations are recommended, although we didn't have to wait at all, & it was Valentine's Day !
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! 👍
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.
