HOOKAAAAH

by Michelle Elizabeth

Khyber Pass is like our second home apart from college. We come here about 6/ out of the 7 days a week to smoke hookah. Sometimes we even get there before they open. The service is great except for the blonde girl (the one whose eyes are like awkward, her hair is always pulled back and is platinum blonde)whose dating one of the guys she's kinda mean only because she messed once and we called her out on it. but what ever thats not the point. Her boyfriend is nice though and the owner loves us LITERALLY. MOVING ON.

Now to explain why we put 0.0 as the food rating... we've never eaten there we go there for the sole purpose of smoking hookah. Ps: nobody can have our booth its the one on the left side..well actually both of them they're reserved. Now rating the hookah its UHmazing you can mix flavors put them in fruits and its just awesome. It takes about 4 to 6 pulls to start feeling the hookah. But then again there are some people who can't handle it and cough their lungs out. you know who you are. The hookah is cheap too 15 bucks a hookah. as for drinks we usually drink poland spring but they're coffee (cappucino) is really good too. The environment its comfortable and relaxing. if you get lucky some one might just whip it out under the table. (true story) Just don't sit outside if you're gonna smoke cuz there are people who keep asking if your hookah is weed and it clearly isn't. The music is awesome we often dance to it.. and hookah just generally liquifies your brain. Show up and have fun. HOOKAHHH

Bland and sweet food- avoid!

by roahmed

I went to Khyber Pass for a casual dinner. I love Afghani food, but this was not good Afghani food. Other than the kebabs, nothing was good. The soup was so bland, that we didn't even touch it & the waitress decided to give us house salad instead because she saw we were disgusted by the soup (plus, there's only one choice of soup). We tried two appetizers, and the lamb which came in a gravy which was unbelievably gross. The only good thing to eat was the baklava, and the chicken kebab. I think if I went again, I would only try the kebabs- stay clear of everything else unless you like bland food.

• Pros: Hookah while eating, no wait
• Cons: Terrible food, ok service

Nice decoration, good food, good prices

by ilikedarkplaces

I've been to Khyber Pass several times. It is inexpensive, it has great decorations and good ambiance. The food has been great most of the times, and some times a little bland. I went once for Valentine's day and their Valentine's special was really good. The service could use a little improvement but over all this is a place I will keep going back to.

• Pros: ambiance, prices, food
• Cons: service inconsistent

Pretty average

by oligray

Maybe my expectations had been raised too high from reading some other glowing reviews but although the food wasn't bad it wasn't entirely memorable either and the waitress was clearly somewhat new to the job and not attentive at all. We started with some vegetable and lamb somosas which were OK but the oil tasted a little stale. Mains were well proportioned and the kebab's were nice but again no taste distinction, everything was fairly bland and I used a lot of the sauces on the table to lend some extra flavour. Pop in if you're passing by but not worth a special trip.

• Pros: Kebabs
• Cons: Bland
