I went for dinner with a few friends & the experience was amazing. The service was great & the food was delicious.
I got the Table D'Hote #1 with the lentil soup, Ashak (leek dumplings), & kabuli palaw. The soup tasted like traditional dal, very nice. The Ashak was amazing, basically dumplings with a different flavor. The Kabuli Palaw was truly the star! The rice was soft, the lamb was melting off the bone.
The staff was really nice, very attentive but not hovering. You could really take your time sitting there, eating food, & enjoying conversations. Highly recommend!
Quelle belle découverte ! On se sent vraiment en voyage le temps d'un repas. Leur table d'hôte est vraiment géniale. Nous avions un beau 4 services pour 45$ avec la table d'hôte #1. Les soupes sont réconfortantes, les entrées de borani & de mantoo nous font découvrir des saveurs que nous avons pas goûté ailleurs & que dire des plats. Le kabuli avec le jarret d'agneau & le riz avec les raisins secs est un coup de coeur. Le kofta est excellent également. Le petit dessert léger termine le repas sur une excellente note.

Fantastic dining experience from start to finish ! It was our first time, but won't be our last. This BYOW Afghan resto had ambiance & amazing food at reasonable prices, & great service.
We had the table d'hote #2 to try as much as possible. Started with a delicious lentil soup, followed by a massive Kabuli Palaw (roasted fork-tender lamb shank) accompanied by a huge plate of savory brown basmati rice, flavoured with afghan spices, raisins & carrot juliennes. Absolute amazing !
Other lamb dishes sampled were the Sabzi Chalaw (with spinach) & Korma Chalaw (tomato based), all equally delicious. Reservations are recommended, although we didn't have to wait at all, & it was Valentine's Day !
Loved the food & the interior. Gives a very rustic feeling. We got the Kabuli Palaw as well as the Korma Chalaw. Both were very flavour infused & had a rich spicy undertone to it. Portions were huge. Loved the food as well as the service!
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.
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.
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.

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!
I had Kabuli Palaw. It was delicious. They served complimentary bread with 3 dipping sauces. The service was as excellent & the outdoor seating area is great.
The combo meal that has soup, kabuli pulaw, keer, & tea is not only affordable but also very tasty, & the portion is very huge! I was not able to take photos, but I was very glad that I spent my birthday here & every special occassion.
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
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!

Belle ambiance. Authentique. Le kabuli palaw était délicieux. L'agneau si tendre. Commencé avec une entrée: borani citrouille qui était savoureuse. Service courtois & le serveur a été aidant. Il m'a offert le pouding à l'eau de rose arrosé des pistaches qui était vraiment délicieux avec mon thé à cardamome.
Service incroyable! J'ai eu froid sur la terrasse & les serveurs/employés ont changé le propane vide pour une nouvelle afin de nous réchauffer! La nourriture est excellente, je recommande le Kabuli Palaw! Je vais certainement y retourner.
We ordered Kabuli Pulao & another lamb dish. The food was okay. However, above 33 dollars per person per dish, it was not at all worth it. Apart from that, they have a rule that "there has to be a minimum of 1 dish order per person". Through this, they make sure 2 people can't share a plate of their expensive food. The atmosphere was not great. The interior was very cramped. Without even asking, they had already included a 15+% tip. Not worth it. & the food is definitely not worth what you're paying for.
