The chicken tikka masala is really good, but the star of the show is the naan! OH-EM-GEE, it is gooooood! I'll be back just for the naan. As an aside, the menu has three options for heat -- mild, hot and spicy. I typically like mine in the middle, so I ordered hot, but it was still a little too spicy for me, so I'll go with mild next time. read more

We have had lamb and we've had lamb. This is the best lamb we have ever had. The side raisin, carrot rice is something I will try to replicate at home. Well priced with great service. read more

Love this place. A well balanced meat and veggie dish options. My husband is vegetarian and we can both enjoy it.

Best Afgan, Pakistani food and a great value for the price. The folks that own the place are so very nice. I love the "green" cilantro chicken. Check out the deserts too! so good! read more

I enjoyed this place. The food was very good. I went for lunch and had the lamb kabob. It's not rivaling the Persian Room on ambience but as far as the food goes, it was good. I'd recommend it to a friend and I'll be back again. In a time where restaurants are overcomplicating menu items with clever flavor profiles I find myself clinging to tried and true classic dishes that leave you satisfied. read more

Yummy... the gyro was really good and fresh; it might be the best gyro in town but I'm gonna need to try it one more time. Plus the gyro was pretty good in size; I get pretty disappointed when I don't get enough food. It also came with fries and extra gyro sauce at no extra cost. read more

Recommended by my Afghan friends, consistently delicious, friendly staff, quiet enough to have a conversation, and good prices. I love everything about this place. My only wish is that they'd be open on Sundays! My recommendations: Chicken Karahi (THE BEST comfort food), Mantoo, and Kabli Pulau (order two skewers of meat per the one plate of rice--that gives you a better meat:rice ratio). Also, the green chatni is good on everything. My dad actually drank it straight from the little plastic cup.... read more

I visited Khyber Halal with the hopes of trying something new. Khyber Halal did not disappoint me. I had never tried Afghani food and decided to try an eggplant dish called Badanjan. It was so good. It also came with Naan bread which was crisp and went well with the eggplant. On top of the good food, the service was great and everyone was super friendly. I'd highly recommend Khyber Halal. read more

I'm shocked at the good reviews. Their naan bread is frozen pizza dough. I love indian food but this place just isn't good.

Not sure if the ownership or the chef changed. Chapli kebab were like chapal kebab. Very disappointing. Thin, Hard and awful in taste. Better not to have items like these in the menu if you don't know how to cook. Bad representation of the food. read more

This is one place that i have been visiting last 2.5 years and here is my feedback 1.taste remains consistent forever. 2.Respectful cook 3.Wonderful Baklava for 0.99 4.Facility is clean 5. Location and ambience is ok.... but the food taste compromises for good reasons. Highly recommend. Only recommendation to the management is to 1. Extend hours of business is required. You do not let customers to dine in after 8 PM....though you are open until 9 PM.... I have driven a couple of times so far thinking you close at 9 but you refused to dine in.... ended up little frustrated.... I am sure am not the only one who wod have experienced this..... read more

Update to prior review. The food is as amazing and incredible as ever, the service as quick and friendly as anyone could possibly want. The mantu is soooo eff'ing good that my mouth literally waters just thinking about it. And the people running the place seem to be the sweetest nicest folks on earth. Seriously. It's a hole-in-the-wall place in a compromised location..but totally worth the time and effort. INCREDIBLE. Every time. read more

Not in the best neighborhood but this place is super authentic. Ordering is at the counter and very little service but the food is mind blowing. The crowd looked nice too. read more

My family and I came here because my sister-in-law wanted to try it. I'm glad we did. I think we bought about seven dishes and nine of us were able to share them all. I definitely would visit again. read more

This is my first review. I'm the type of person that likes to try something new almost every time I go out. I get bored easily, and I rarely want to go to the same restaurant. I have been to this place twice in 2 weeks! The menu is huge, I don't know what half of the stuff on there is but that is what google is for. I've tried at least 3 things now that I have never had before and they were all delicious. The chicken Handi is addictive, it's what I went back for. The servings are family style in my opinion, but it did not stop me from ordering 4 things! I had leftovers which tasted even better the next day. I'm a sucker for family owned restaurants, these meals are home cooked recipes to order so the wait is a little longer, but well worth it. If you just get off work and don't want to wait, they do take out. Order before you leave and it's ready to pick up...this is me planning my next visit. read more

Fresh, delicious, heaping portions and cheap. Wanted to try something a bit different and this place hit the spot. We had the chicken karahi (sadly, they were out of goat)...aka, the chicken curry... and mantoo. The former came with big, thick naan bread that was a bit heartier than what I've seen in Indian restaurants. The latter is like a ground beef ravioli with middle eastern spice and yogurt drizzled on top. Both were great, and we've earmarked a couple additional menu items should we have the opportunity to return. I highly recommend giving this place a try. read more

many delicious options, very flavorful. They were sweet about helping me concoct a vegan option. You can taste the blessing. They also have good vegetarian options, no concocting necessary. read more

I do love me some Pakistani/Indian food! Khyber Halal is a spot that i frequent and does not disappoint and its a family run joint, which i enjoy! My favorite dish here is the chicken biryani. It's a nice blend of spices and they give you plenty of meat. They do seem to use a lot of white meat chicken; however, sometimes i do like the dark meat. If you are craving some decent indian food, i'd recommend this place! read more

Khyber Halal is one of my favorite places to eat in Phoenix! You can't go wrong with anything you order on the menu here. The Chicken & Paneer Tikka Marsala is beyond delicious, some of the best in town in my opinion. I LOVE LOVE LOVE their Samosas beef, chicken, & veggie all spectacular! Everything is homemade, and you can tell with every bite you take it's made with a lot of love. Service is always perfect. The family that owns/runs the business are always super kind and welcoming. You can't beat this restaurant. read more

Not sure if I I just ate chicken... Or a cat... Weird texture meat. Sauce was odd in the tikka masala and the naan... Well... It was more like a pita - too thick and spongy... 2 of 5 even with rice. Will not recommend. read more

Fantastic food, authentic tastes, the chai transported me back to my time in Somaliland. I really enjoyed the Usbek Pulaw( seasoned lamb cooked on skewers and served on a bed of Afghan rice(basmati rice mixed with grated carrot, raisins and little chunks of meat) accompanied by a cucumber salad. For desert I had the Gulab Jaman. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to eat genuine Afghan food and does not care about the setting read more

First time at an Afghani restaurant. We were just looking for something different to eat on a Saturday afternoon. Low key, small place. It's not a "wait to be seated, posh" kind of place. We were greeted as we walked in, if we were picking up to go food or dining in. Menus were handed to us and to seat anywhere we wanted. Service was pretty prompt and friendly. Since it was a first for us we decided to order drinks and some beef and chicken samosas appetizer (served with Chatni sauce) while we continued perusing the menu. The samosas could use a bit more meat in them, but were crunchy and the chatni was really good. We settled on a Gyro sandwich served with fries, Chicken Tikka Marsala, Garlic naan, and Chicken biryani rice plate. I didn't particularly liked the gyro, the beef was pretty bland. Prices are very reasonable, especially for the amount of food they serve. Both the chicken masala and the rice plates were enough for at least two people. Word of advice: when they ask if you want spicy, it is really spicy! I loved it, but it's definitely not for everyone. I really liked that the flavors in the chicken masala blended well, and the rice was good and spicy. Well served, flavorful dishes and well priced. Will definitely come back. read more

What an unexpected delight. Great food. Charming family of owners. It looks like nothing from the outside but what wonderful smells tastes and flavors await you. read more

My friends took me to Khyber Halal around the 1st of March and I've eaten there once a week since my first visit. the food is fantastic. they have a ton of vegetarian dishes which I love and they have plenty of Meat dishes for the meat eaters. Treat yourself to something other than burgers and fries and go eat here! read more

1) Really good food 2) Menu items that you will not find anywhere else 3) Massive portions (took home more than we ate!) 4) Atmosphere is awful - turn off the TV in the seating area! read more

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. Fantastic food with a strip mall ambiance. Not sure who was in the back cooking but they know exactly what they are doing. So delicious and flavorful. On top of that, our party of 4 had our fill of entrées w/ desserts and out total after tip was only $50. read more

I am disappointed, I used to love Khyber halal and I would go often. Over the past few months something changed with the quality of food. The chicken was over or under cooked and the texture was dry and rubbery. Not the quality that made me love this place when I first discovered it. I have done some investigating and found that the original chef has opened his own restaurant under the same name but located inside of a market on 40th st & McDowell. I tried it today and I got that old feeling back!! I found the yummy food, tender and juicy chicken I have been missing! read more

Good food, sometimes a bit greasy but overall very delicious. Would say the eggplant is one of my favorites. Avoid the chicken tikka masala. It was bland and had too much food color. The other chicken dishes were excellent. read more

LOVE THIS FOOD! Quick, clean! Great portions! Kebabs are outstanding and so are the appetizers! Rice is fragrant and comes with all the kebabs.... read more

Ordered the Chix Tikka Masala. Fresh & spicy. Comes w/Naan which was also fresh. For desert, had Phirni and THE best Baklawa ever made on planet earth. Will definitely be back. read more

2.4 Stars. I love Afghan Food and was really looking forward to eating here. Maybe I got the wrong thing. Got the lamb kabab with rice and salad. Really disappointed in the lack of flavor. The portion was large enough but ended up being 6 pieces of meat and about 2 lbs of rice. I'll give it another chance at some point, hard to find Afghan food in AZ. read more

Came in today with my daughter. We both enjoyed our experience. Chicken tikka masala and chicken handi was delicious. Nice and spicy. Hummus was perfect. Coming back soon. Great family run place. Two brothers work up front and are good kids! read more

Nice lunch after a good hike! Good food and the chicken was amazing! Great customer service! Defiantly making my way back!

This gem is tucked away amongst a few random shops. The food is amazing - don't let the outside fool you. I felt like I was in someone's home and the tradition of recipes had been handed down from one generation to another making each meal so flavorful. Their samosas were some of the best I've had anywhere! The eggplant amazing, the palaak paneer wonderful, I can't wait to being friends here! read more

Although this restaurant is owned by my cousin and her husband, I have yet to make a visit. I give this place 5 stars because I have tried out numerous dishes cooked by her and have got to say that EVERYTHING i have tasted by her is absolutely exquisite. I do not doubt that the same goes for everything on the menu at this restaurant. I wish I lived in Phoenix so I could've tried some of the delicious dishes at her place, mainly because of my love for afghan food. Yummy Kabuli Pulao. read more

Want good food for your buck? Come to Khyber Halal. A family-owned restaurant serving Afghan/Pakistani/Indian combo platters, and boy is the food great! The only unfortunate issue I could think of this place is some items on the menu may not be available. Other than this, bring your appetite cause the portions are HUGE! read more

The food is very good! I suggest you take it to go. I had to ask for tea and boxes for the food. The server hung out behind the register texting. Really? Do you expect to be tipped?!? Definitely take out! read more

Delicious food with lots of variety! The location is sort of tucked in the corner off of major street but you can't miss the sign. They truly have excellent fast service and their items are absolutely made fresh. read more

The chicken Boti is my favorite!! Only time I have ever had afghani food and it's GREAT. It's close to my work so I come in multiple times a month . Love the staff as well read more

Food is excellent especially Naans are fresh and wholesome. It does lack professionalism though. Closing time is 9 PM, drove 17 miles to be there but staff refused to seat us at 835 pm saying that they will only provide take out. Never went back and chose another restaurant for our spicy food needs. read more
