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 !
Service déplorable. Nous avions réservé par téléphone & la réservation avait été confirmée. Pourtant, à notre arrivée, notre table n'était pas prête. Nous avons dû attendre dehors sous la pluie & le froid, alors que d'autres clients, avec ou sans réservation, ont pu obtenir une table sans problème. Déçue, j'avais emmené mes amis pour une soirée d'Halloween & j'avais honte de représenter ce restaurant. La soupe était froide & le jarret d'agneau très dur & rassis.
The Khyber Pass is a great experience & highly recommended! There are two set menus that are a great value & allow you to sample across the menu. The soups as starters are recommended as salad comes with main plates. Every dish we tried was excellent: freshly made, good ingredients & cooked to perfection. The service was attentive & professional. There is great outdoor garden seating & a nice indoor area as well. I would love to go back & sample everything on the menu. Be sure to take your own wine & they are happy to serve it to you. This is the best restaurant experience I have had in a long time.
Note that currently for Friday & Saturdays there are two dinner seatings a 5 pm & 7:30 pm. The restaurant opens at 5 pm so call & leave your name & they will get back to you to confirm. Luckily there was space on the day we went, but be prepared if you only try to reserve on short notice.
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!!
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.
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.
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.

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!
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

Not only the best Afghan food I've ever had, but probably one of the best MEALS I've ever had in my life. Everything down to the last kernel of rice was aromatic, delectably spiced, & tender. I previously had a favorite lentil soup at another place, but Khyber Pass has dethroned that other lentil soup. The rose pudding was creamy & comforting.
The service was rapid & impeccable.
This is definitely a restaurant/cuisine for you if you appreciate cardamom.
I will say that the menu is mostly focused on meat dishes, however, I actually did an entirely vegetarian spread when I went, & it was scrumptious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the post-dinner tea. I am very much a snob about tea, so often expect to be disappointed by something served in a restaurant, but it was really nice & smooth.
Hospitable service...
Lovely atmosphere...
& most relevant, the food was spectacular.... all of the dishes we ordered were superb... perhaps one of the best lentil soups I have had...
My first time trying Afghan food & it's so good!! we ordered Set 2 (comes with soup, main course, dessert, & tea/coffee) & everything was delicious. Also, I don't normally like lamb but I heard that it's really good here, so I ordered it & it's the first lamb I've actually enjoyed! The pistachio rose pudding was absolutely heavenly & the tea was so floral & spiced!
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!
