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.
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.

La table d'hôte est parfaite pour une première visite. Nous avons combiné une table d'hôte 1 & une table d'hôte 2 pour n'avoir qu'une seule entrée à partager. Les portions sont énormes. Tout était bon. Coup de coeur pour la soupe mashaba (boeuf & nouilles) & les mantoo (dumplings au poireau avec sauce à la viande & yogourt). Service très efficace, mais limite un peu trop expéditif (aucun temps de repos entre les services). Bonus: on peut apportez notre vin.
Malheureusement, il manquait de saveur à chacun des services que j'ai commandé. La soupe maison était correcte, la brochette de poulet était vraiment fade... Il y avait seulement un choix de dessert, laiteux & chaud; je pense que certains peuvent apprécier mais ce n'était pas mon cas. Globalement, pour le prix payé & le manque d'épices, je ne recommande pas.
Super restaurant BYOB :) je recommande les menus table d'hôte ! J'ai pris la soupe de lentilles maison (bien aillée & délicieuse), le borani à la citrouille en entrée, le plat d'agneau en plat (délicieux !!). Ça finit par un thé & un pudding à la rose & à la pistache que je n'ai pas aimé par contre. L'ambiance est top, c'est pas trop bruyant fait qu'on s'entend parler, & la bouffe est généreuse :D je suis repartie avec des restes.
Les 2 soupes sont écoeurantes. Celle au lentilles/bines était particulièrement savoureuse. Le pain est chaud, fluffy & bien accompagné de 3 liquides à tremper dedans. Vinaigré, épicé & yougourt à l'ail. Wow! Meilleur que chez Amir. Plus frais, on dirait. L'entrée d'aubergine était ça coche. Goulument tendre & que dire de la sauce tomate qui rivalise avec les meilleures mamma italiana. Les samosas sont des...samosas. Manque de sauce un peu. Shout out au serveur qui était short staff. Le gars avait chaud. Main Course, le filet mignon coule dans yeule. L'agneau au épinards est à se pourlécher les babines. Les boulettes goûte le steak haché & la bonne sauce fait avec amour. La tapisserie psychédélique donne envie de manger à notre faim. Même pas fini tout le riz basmati (qui est excellent d'ailleurs). Un B.Y.O.B c'est toujours gagnant. Pis si t'as encore d'la place, y'a le dessert. FRESH! P.S: les toilettes sont propre.

Great food, good atmosphere, a great terrace in summer & reasonable price. It is BYOB which is great. Mashaba soup, Kabuli palow, chupan kebab & the rose pistachio pudding are amazing.
Had a delicious meal at Khyber Pass. The table d'hôte is very reasonably priced at 40$ & comes with soup, entrée, main course, & dessert. Everything was delicious! Tasty & healthy. Bring your own wine too which is super fun. 5/5!
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.

nous visitons notre restaurant préféré 2 fois par an. nous prenons toujours la soupe Kabuli à l'agneau & l'entrée au choix Ashak & manto le service est super comme toujours notre dernière visite ce mois-ci a été décevante, notre pates bouilies farcies avec boeuf hache & poireaux bien secs & sans sel ni epices ..il faut en changer. J'espère que le propriétaire changera ou achètera un produit frais & savoureux. pourquoi changeraient-ils quelque chose de délicieux en quelque chose de différent. j'écris ce commentaire pour partager mon point de vue. j'adore ce restaurant nous sommes heureux que vous soyez ouvert bientôt nous vous rendrons visite avec un grand groupe pour notre bureau de fête de noël merci
