Cozy restaurant with great Afghanistan food. I got the Kabuli Palaw with lamb shank, a very filling rice dish with spices and raisins making for a savory and fruity combination. The rice pudding was really good, it was sweet, floral, and subtle with warming cardamom spice.

I had the opportunity to dine at this fine establishment today & was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, very warm & welcoming. We were offered a choice of seating, indoor or outdoor terrace, we chose the latter. Small tables set in an enclosed back patio, created a cozy, relaxed setting. We were seated immediately & just as promptly, a server was at our table. Not a huge variety of choices on the menu, but interesting offers. We made our selections & were served each course wirh accuracy & basically no wait time by a very efficient & courteous server. Everything was delicious. Another visit is anticipated in the near future.

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.

Authentic Afghan dishes. Taste is true to traditional flavours and still delightful to western palates. High quality ingredients. Appropriate portions. No extreme spices or flavours. Beautiful atmosphere with traditional Afghan decorations and music. It’s like a poetic journey to Kabul. Marti did an excellent job as waiter during what was clearly a busy evening.

I’ve visited Khyber Pass a few times over the years, and it’s always a memorable experience. The restaurant has a cozy Afghan atmosphere, generous portions, and dishes full of rich flavor. Their meats are tender, the rice is aromatic, and the fresh herbs and chutneys balance everything beautifully. Service is friendly and relaxed, which matches the laid-back vibe. A great spot in Montreal if you want authentic Afghan food.

Used to come to this place over 20 years ago when I was a student in Montreal. On a recent trip back with my family, I was delighted to see they are still in business. Went back for dinner, it was still delicious. What a place!

Had a lovely meal at Khyber Pass! The Kabuli Pulaw with lamb and the mantu were both delicious. The portion sizes were generous and the prices were reasonable, especially for the area. Our waiter was fantastic. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the terrace seating was a really nice touch, especially on a pleasant evening. I do wish they served bolani and chapli kebab, which are some of our favorite Afghan dishes and would round out the menu nicely. Interestingly, most of the diners were not Afghan. Would go back if in Montreal!

Amazing food and customer service. The wait staff were very attentive. The atmosphere very peaceful and green (we were in the backyard). We ordered the lentil and Mashawa soup (very tasty), afghani dumplings (Mantoo), mourg chalaw (very tender) and Tikka kebab. If we had one more day in Montreal, would have gone back for their signature dish, the lamb shank.
I had Kabuli Palaw. It was delicious. They served complimentary bread with 3 dipping sauces. The service was as excellent and the outdoor seating area is great.

This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside but they have the NICEST outdoor patio. The food was absolutely amazing and their rose, pistachio dessert was like a milky whipped dream. Delicious! They don't sell alcohol but you can bring your own wine or beer and there's no corking fee! Highly recommend. The waiters were funny and super attentive. Enjoy!

The combo meal that has soup, kabuli pulaw, keer, and tea is not only affordable but also very tasty, and the portion is very huge! I was not able to take photos, but I was very glad that I spent my birthday here and every special occassion.

This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants in Montreal. Wow, just amazing food. For the entrée we got the leek stuffed pasta, and it was amazing. For the main we got the quail, it was juicy and deliciously seasoned to perfection (apparently the spice mix is a secret that the chef keeps to himself!). We also got the lamb shank, it was so amazingly tender, falling off the bone. I've never eaten such delicious meat in my life. Just wow. The rose pudding felt like a soft cloud inside my mouth, aromatic with notes of pistachios and cardamon, perfect to finish the meal. I recommend going there when you're hungry, because the portions are quite big. The table d'hôte is quite worth it. Our waiter was very nice and fast. Overall an amazing experience. 10/10 highly reccomend.
