The atmosphere blends cozy interiors with a welcoming back patio and decor that transports guests to Kabul, and the BYOB policy plus attentive service make for relaxed, memorable evenings.
My new favourite restaurant. I was kinda afraid because there's not a lot of vegetarian options, but I had the table d'hôte with the house soup & vegetarian combo, & it was amazing! the most delicious experience I've had in a restaurant in years. Will definitely come again!!
A beautiful restaurant with delicious food.This restaurant beautiful inside & outside is bring your own wine. Great variety of food. Had the veggie combo, with okra, cauliflower, eggplant & spinach with 3 different rice, all yummy 😋 loved the service 😁🤠
We took a while to get going with our meal because the restaurant was quite busy when we arrived (the server warned us). But the service was fast & the food was delicious. Lamb shanks (whichever variety) is a must have. The vegetarian platter (ladies finger, egg plant, cauliflower & mixed greens) was fantastic. The trio of basmati rice is a wonderful accompaniment. We brought a bottle of red wine to enjoy with our meal, sitting outside in the courtyard. Authentic & generous portions.
Found this hidden gem while searching for halal cuisine near our stay. Did not expect much but was pleasantly surprised by the food. The Kabuli pulao is outstanding. The service was lovely as well. The patio at the back is very cosy & gets packed quickly. Overall a very nice vibe.
Everything about this place is amazing! The ambience, the staff, & of course the best thing being THE FOOD! My partner & I went here for the first time after hearing multiple friends rave about the place & have no regrets. We will 110% be back again & spread the word to others what they're missing out on. We both got the two different lamb shank dishes: one with tomatoes sauce & other with the carrots & raisins & both were incredible. Anyone should be pleased by the price for what you get & it's quality. & it's BYOB.. another bonus!
Encore une visite à ce resto & nous ne sommes jamais déçus.
La nourriture & le service étaient excellents & très abordable pour des plats très copieux!
& on apporte notre vin.
En prime, nous étions sur la terrasse intérieure, quelle ambiance!
Il faut y retourner souvent!
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!
