I've been here twice, the second time within a few weeks of the first because I loved the food so much. Highly recommend going with the set menu in order to sample all of the dishes; really great value for all the food you get. I've enjoyed every dish I've had, from the bread & dips right to the dessert. Highlights for me are the sambossa, borani aubergines, kabuli palaw, & korma chalaw. We got lucky the first time as a group of 5 people without a reservation, but in general I would recommend making a reservation. The only suggestion for improvement would be more consistent service. The first visit, we had very attentive, helpful service where the waiter explained the dishes & also told us our options for different types of tea. The second time, a few weeks ago, the service felt quite impersonal & almost rushed, & I received a black tea instead of being asked for my preferences. That said, the host noticed I was quite cold & actually turned the heat up for me, & the timing of each course was great.

Amazing afghani food & beautiful restaurant! It's like entering another world. They have so many amazing dishes & their table d'hote options is amazing. I chose the mashaba soup, mantou, & kabuli palaw. It also came with bread & dipping sauce, tea (or coffee) & the pistachios rose pudding. It was a feast. We were really full after & everything was delicious. The service was amazing as well. We really enjoyed it!

I have no bad things to say about this restaurant. The ambience was super cozy & I felt very welcome. Their value for the table d'hôte is incredible if you want to sample many dishes. Everything we ordered was so so flavourful & well spiced. The lamb was incredibly tender. I highly recommend the ashak dumplings & the pumpkin appetizer. This restaurant is well worth the visit.

Nestled in the heart of Montreal, Khyber Pass offers an authentic taste of Afghan cuisine that delights the senses. The lamb kebab & shank are simply excellent - tender, flavourful, & perfectly seasoned. The rice, infused with interesting spices, complements the dishes beautifully. The table d'hote menu provided a generous selection at a very fair price, making it a great value for money. One of the highlights is the beautiful terrasse in the back, providing a peaceful & charming ambiance for outdoor dining. For drinks, it is BYOB, maybe add some non-alcoholic beer? Just a thought 😊. The cardamom-infused green tea is fabulous, but served in a small cup, & the waiter did not offer a refill, which was a slight letdown. Despite this, the overall experience at Khyberpass was delightful, & it is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore Afghan flavours in Montreal.

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.
