Went here with my classmate. OMG it was really good dinner. We sat on the terasse but our food was still piping hot. Everything was delicious. The rice was so flavorul, the salad was savoury & the chicken. Oh mon dieu the chicken was incredible. It was falling off the bone & the pasta sauce didn't taste tomato-y. Everything went so well. I will definitely be coming back & recommending. The servers were very fast & friendly as well. The table beside us was rather noisey but beside that. Best dinner I've had in MTL since I've moved & the Price was so worth it.
I've visited Khyber Pass a few times over the years, & it's always a memorable experience.
The restaurant has a cozy Afghan atmosphere, generous portions, & dishes full of rich flavor.
Their meats are tender, the rice is aromatic, & the fresh herbs & chutneys balance everything beautifully. Service is friendly & relaxed, which matches the laid-back vibe.
A great spot in Montreal if you want authentic Afghan food.

Les mets sont parfumés & délicieux, notre serveur allait au devant de nos questions & faisait d'excellentes suggestions & descriptions des plats & le décor & l'ambiance nous faisaient réellement voyager! Je recommande chaleureusement!
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.
I had the opportunity to dine at this fine establishment today & was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, very warm & welcoming. We were offered a choice of seating, indoor or outdoor terrace, we chose the latter. Small tables set in an enclosed back patio, created a cozy, relaxed setting. We were seated immediately & just as promptly, a server was at our table. Not a huge variety of choices on the menu, but interesting offers. We made our selections & were served each course wirh accuracy & basically no wait time by a very efficient & courteous server.
Everything was delicious. Another visit is anticipated in the near future.
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.
Authentic Afghan dishes. Taste is true to traditional flavours & still delightful to western palates. High quality ingredients. Appropriate portions. No extreme spices or flavours. Beautiful atmosphere with traditional Afghan decorations & music. It's like a poetic journey to Kabul. Marti did an excellent job as waiter during what was clearly a busy evening.
Used to come to this place over 20 years ago when I was a student in Montreal. On a recent trip back with my family, I was delighted to see they are still in business. Went back for dinner, it was still delicious. What a place!
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.
