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.

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

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.

Nestled in the heart of Montreal, Khyber Pass offers an authentic taste of Afghan cuisine that delights the senses. The lamb kebab & shank are simply excellent - tender, flavourful, & perfectly seasoned. The rice, infused with interesting spices, complements the dishes beautifully. The table d'hote menu provided a generous selection at a very fair price, making it a great value for money. One of the highlights is the beautiful terrasse in the back, providing a peaceful & charming ambiance for outdoor dining. For drinks, it is BYOB, maybe add some non-alcoholic beer? Just a thought 😊. The cardamom-infused green tea is fabulous, but served in a small cup, & the waiter did not offer a refill, which was a slight letdown. Despite this, the overall experience at Khyberpass was delightful, & it is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Afghan flavours in Montreal.

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