This is the best Afghani food I've ever tasted till now. The service was good, the place is always full, make sure to reserve in advance, it's a bring ur own wine place, the inside is good as well, we really felt transported to Afghanistan! Prices are reasonable, it is the authentic Afghani place in Montreal so far. Enjoy the food! Cheers

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!

The exterior of this restaurant always intrigued me. Finally went. The food is great (lamb was so tender & everything was wonderfully flavorful) & good value for the amount you get. Love the ambience & the service was excellent. I will definitely be going back & taking friends.

An amazing dining experience in all domains! Our service was friendly, kind, & attentive. Our food was amazing, with flavorful lamb melting off the bone. The borani à la citrouille was particularly tasty, as was the rose water pudding. The space was itself was warm & cozy, & the price point very reasonable.

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.

Place très traditionnelle avec son décor! Un menu assez abordable & bon. Ce qui ma marqué c'est les épices utilisés même dans le dessert qui donne un goût hummmm. À essayer.

Cuisine exceptionnelle, service personnalisé & hors du commun, l'ambiance nous fait voyager. J'y retourne n'importe quand. Le prix n'est pas élevé par rapport a la qualité de la nourriture. J'adore MERCI Mobin pour tout.

We had a fantastic dinner here. Every dish we had was flavorful & they use some delicious spices as well. We got the table d'hôte menu (a 4 course menu) & the lamb in tomato sauce was my favorite dish. The lamb was falling off the bone & the sauce was spiced & balanced. It's BYOB which is nice too!

Good food but not sure how clean is it. One of them was blowing on the rice pudding to spread the cinnamon which ruined the whole experience.

A bit pricey but food is great. The combo #1 is a great deal; must try the Kabuli Palaw- rice is addicting!

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.
