My husband & I were craving Afghan food & this hit the spot! The ambiance, food & service were all great. We really liked the lentil soup & the noodle soup which were both delicious starters. The afghan hospitality was on full display as they accompanied our firnee with cups of chai!
The food was amazing! At first I was thinking the prices were a little high. But when the food arrived I realized that the portions made it worth it.
Amazing atmosphere specially in the summer time outside! So cozy so nice would recommend!
This is my favourite restaurant in all of Montreal (& maybe the world?) All of the dishes are made with an incredible amount of thought & care, my go-to is the Mantoo. Great atmosphere that showcases the culture & heritage of Afghanistan, & they even have a patio at the back to enjoy with some cool murals. You mustn't miss this hidden gem.

First time trying Afghan restaurant & the meals we had were absolutely delicious!
The service was amazing & the atmosphere was authentic from the decor, to the music & even the temperature.
100% recommend the combos that include the appetizer, meal & dessert
This was the best restaurant I have ever been too the service was great & the food was perfect & the restaurant looked so nice it gave me great Afghani vibes
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.
Food was really good, friendly staff & cosy ambiance. We ordered Kabuli Palaw, Sabzi Chalaw, Combo Vege, Mantoo plate, Mourg kebab & waiter told us that owner offer us complimentary soups which are very good too! We have a great time & highly recommend dinning at Khyber Pass if you are in Montreal.
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
Un de mes resto préférés à Montréal! J'y suis allé nombreuses fois & je ne suis jamais déçue! La bouffe est délicieuse, les prix sont raisonnables, le service est attentif.
