Delicious food. Giant portions. I had a beef kabab with rice and a cucumber salad. Very tasty. The beef was a smidge dry, but mixed with the rice and salad it was great. read more

I've never written a Yelp review before, but I figure as much as I order from here and LOVE IT, I had to finally say something!! I love Indian food and have eaten all over the valley, but Khyber Halal is by far THEE BEST! The tikka masala is my absolute fave and phenominal, but the chicken karahi is definitely worth mentioning as well!! I've tried several items from the menu to include the mantoo and the biryani, etc and nothing has ever disappointed me! The flavors are soooooooo yummy!!!! :) read more

This palce is awesome. Enjoyed it more then i have in the past. You need to try this spot for some quick casual eats, They now have a blog soit where you can read all the descriptions of the food. I foregt what I order bu it comes on a huge mound of brown jasmine rice and the most fkavorful shisk kebab like chicken. I am a huge fan and it' right in my hood, read more

After seeing this place on Check Please, Arizona I had to try it! I never had Afghani food before but love exploring different foods and learning about different cultures. My husband spent time in Afghanistan and wanted to visit as well. We went with my son, brother and sis-in-law. I think we ordered the entire menu and it was all delicious! I can't even think of one particular dish I would recommend. We will definitely be back. I think there may be one or two items on the menu we didn't try. read more

Lots of dishes to choose from. I ordered the chicken kabob and chicken tikka masala spicy. Caution do not order spicy unless you can handle some serious heat. Decent price and good portions. I will visit again, the food was delicious.Next time I'm going to try the Afghani specialty menu. read more

The kabobs were amazing and the goat rice was yummy. The staff is very friendly and the food is delish =)

Great food--everything coming out of the kitchen looked like a stock photo! Beautiful and delicious! Could probably make the atmosphere more attractive--it's very basic and not much soul. But the food more than makes up for it, worth the trip! read more

BEST BEST FOOD! I cannot say this enough. I recommend this place to everyone I know. home cooked, authentic and awesome.

Went back on Friday and was disappointed to find they are closed from 12:30-1:30 on Friday...lunch time on Friday seems like a super strange time to be closed and I was unable to eat there due to the closure (and I drove out of my way to go there never thinking to call and make sure they would be open at a time that should be the busiest of the day). I will go again, but I will call before heading out of my way to make sure they are open and I don't waste my time on the drive. read more

Really good food. The best Gyro in the valley and it is huge! They also have very good simosas. Be sure to try some of the Afghani dishes too, like the Mantoo, which is kind of like a spicy ravioli with a twist of yogurt. I have never had a bad tasting dish here and tried a lot of things, my only complaint and thing that would keep me from rating this 5 stars is the fact that I have received cold food on a couple of occasions and on a couple of occasions my simosas were partially frozen in the middle. read more

very friendly staff it feels like we are at a friends house! Unless you are insane stick to medium spicy

Long delayed review for a lovely family owned establishment. Every single item was delicious and the serving portions were huge. The servers were so attentive and pleasant to our group that it only made the trip worth it. My ever so picky kids are all of their dinner and that's saying something :) read more

Amazing sweet staff, waitress was friendly and helpful, amazing bread the taziki sauce is to die for the dish my fiancé and I had was delicious and they give you plenty of food. Cozy little spot, always nice to have culture in Phoenix! read more

Had dinner here last night. The chicken boti, and mantoo were delicious! The eggplant dish was really good as well. The place is simple, clean and the service was good. Our bill was $29! Talk about an amazing deal. Will definitely be back. read more

I stumbled upon this restaurant after spending the day at the hospital and wanting to have something exciting to eat. It's not much to look at from the outside situated in a small strip "mall" across from a circle k. Definitely a diamond in the rough! The food is DELICIOUS and the portions are quite generous. Service was also very good! Will definitely be back it was great read more

I agree with an earlier post the staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the restaurant is clean. Not fancy, but very clean. The food was too dry for me. read more

Great restaurant! My husband and I came here for date night - we got the garlic naan and hummus, beef samosa, chicken Karahi and chicken buryani - it was all fantastic!! I don't have much experience with Middle Eastern food - but everything we sampled was great! It was all very flavorful, the dishes were very large portions, and it was all super delicious! We'll be back for sure! read more

2nd time here and I enjoy it even more. Great place to try different dishes ad they are all very good. Service is friendly.

The food is amazing! Hands-down! Which brings me much sadness to have to give them a one star review. I have tried to come here four times since my first experience and every single time they have closed at least 20 minutes prior to the closing time time posted in the door! I am currently sitting here right now staring at one of the employees standing inside the restaurant, it's 835 and they close at nine and the door is locked. Also they do not answer their phone so you can make that impossible to place a pick up order or to go. Great food but horrible at caring about their customers. Don't print hours if you don't intend to keep to them !!!!! read more

I love Khyber Halal. It is the best place to get Mantoo in all of Arizona. I spoke with the owner she is a delightful Afghani lady. I have been going to this place for years and is definitely worth the trip. read more

Had a great meal with chicken curry and chicken Boti. Ordered medium spicy on the curry and it had a pretty good kick. Portions are big. Nan is thicker than what I'm used to. read more

Gross food. Tastes like they dig around in the dumpsters of other restaurants to create their menu. I was so disappointed in all the choices we made. read more

Idk how the hell this place has 4 stars. **RANT** So, I am from the south. Atlanta, Georgia to be exact. My family is also African and I'm used to food that has seasoning, flavor, taste etc. I have traveled all over the world and tasted a variety of different foods from different countries that were quite exquisite and flavorful. So I decided to try this place on a trip to Arizona and I was extremely disappointed. The bread was dry as hell and tasted a bit sour it was also hard and thick (no resemblance to naan) , the rice had absolutely no flavor, the paneer tikka masala was also bland no seasoning just red sauce and cheese. I don't know if it is because people in Arizona are trapped in a desert and have never tasted real food, but there was nothing delightful or tasty about this restaurant and I do not know who gave these good ratings. Not to come at you Arizona people, but really? This is what y'all think is good food???? Also, The mango lassi tasted like water. DISGUSTING. service was questionable as well. Please try to tantalize your taste buds at least once in your life if you actually eat this food and think it's good. Peace & blessings y'all. read more

Fully 5star food and service. Location I'd say easy to find and decor is homey but does the trick

Sweet mother of God, why haven't I tried this place sooner??? I've wasted 24 years I could have been savoring their dishes. (I technically don't know how long they've been in business, but I'm guessing it's been a while... and even if it's a month... I can't believe I've missed that month). It might be my new favorite restaurant in this city. The food was amazing. The service was wonderful. The value was outstanding. The prices are beyond reasonable for what you get (taking into account both flavor and portion size). Don't let the location scare you. Consider it a blessing. It's probably how they keep prices down. I ordered the Chicken Karahi (large portion, so that I'd have leftovers for lunch the next day). It's a miraculous mixture of chicken perfectly cooked, in a ginger/jalapeno/tomato based sauce that's so delicious and fragrant, served with naan bread. I ordered it medium hot, and the spices were perfect. Definitely warm, but not so hot you can't enjoy your food. It's only 10am next day, and I've already broken into the take-home carton and had it for breakfast. YUM. Even better second day, if that's possible. My hubby ordered the Mantoo. HEAVEN. He cleaned his entire plate off (and then helped himself to my Karahi...which at the time I was cool with... but today.. I wish I'd have told him to keep his grubby hands to himself... I would have had enough left for breakfast AND lunch.) We were stuffed, but had to try the Gulub Jaman for dessert. We weren't disappointed. Two balls of doughy goodness, resting in a sweet syrup of heaven. They aren't large. Small actually. The perfect amount to cap off an amazing meal with, without pushing you over gluttony's precarious edge. Don't hesitate to give this place a shot. You will be so glad you did. BRAVO Khyber Halal!! You will definitely be seeing us again!!!! read more

Great food....Awesome flavors and you get a true portion of food!!! The make it fresh when order no preheat food.

Great place to eat on a budget. Super clean, friendly and delicious! Try the gyro sandwich, but be sure that you are really hungry!!

I came across this restaurant via Yelp. It's a good restaurant with great food, if you like interesting, sometimes spicy, different food well made. Here's the warning, though: it's not the place for that special, romantic date. The ambience is low rent, but that should not stop you from visiting. The menu is varied, and the variety goes from Afghan food to Indian / Pakistani food, to good old American grub. We tried some of the first 2 and were very pleased. Some have said that the service is slow. To protect ourselves (and we did not make it up) we told the waiter that we had to make a plane, and our service was prompt. We're sure to return next time we're in Phoenix. read more

big food portions, great taste that would make you crave it later. simply the best place to get food in my opinion. i highly recommend ordering the ''manto'' read more

Good food, great service in an unassuming ambiance. Chicken tiki marsala was very tasty, as was the naan bread. Prices are very affordable; restaurant is family friendly. read more

Tried this place out because it's close to home and was disappointed. The meat was dry and the service was slow. The space can use some updating. The staff were friendly and I really wanted to like it because I like the cuisine, however I'm going to check out other places before going back. read more

Hugh amount of very tasty food for the dollar. Boti chicken kabob is my favorite along with the samosas. The mango yogurt drink is great! The two side dishes of spinach and cauliflower have wonderful seasonings. read more

The food at this place is awesome. I always do takeout because I'm not crazy about the atmosphere, but I've never tried anything I don't like. Definitely try it out!! read more

Anything I say is already reflected in the other reviews. Love this place. The service is good and the food is great. The small restaurants are the best. Never eat at a chain restaurant when there are so many great little gems in town. They even have goat if you're so inclined. read more

Really good food!! Staff were nice! The area wasn't too bad. The restaurant itself it's nothing fancy but does the job! I'd definetly go back! read more

I got a wild hair and thought I'd give this place a try since it happened to be on my way home from work. I randomly picked items off the menu to try something new. Everything I chose was fabulous. The spinach, the cauliflower, lamb kebab with rice, hummus and bread. The restaurant was quaint and clean and the service was great. I ordered my food as take out and ate it at home and had a nice family dinner. read more

This is our household's very favorite restaurant. It's a little out of the way for us, but we always have an incredible meal with leftovers for days and days. Portions are fairly gigantic and quite reasonably priced - especially delicious baklava for $1, which I've /never/ seen cheaper. In particular, the lamb kebob, the mantoo, and the gyros are favorites. The woman who always waits on us works really hard, and she's always so nice. We were just there for a birthday, and she noticed that I didn't order anything besides a soda. I explained to her that I was quite broke, and she surprised me by bringing me a gyro on the house, which she remembered me getting last time and loving. This was more than a month ago! I nearly cried. That being said, don't go in and try and get a free meal! It was just a really cool thing that she didn't have to do. Anyway, this is the best Afghani/Pakistani food around. The only thing that could make it better would be to pick it up and put it right next to our apartment - but it's worth the drive. read more

When we dined at this restaurant, we were greeted by a friendly cashier. The food portions are larger than we thought, so it's great to share! The food had a variety of flavors. For someone who likes spicy foods, this is the place for you. read more

I was greatly disappointed ordering the grilled lamb. It was dry and tasteless. The rice was plentiful but also tasteless. The diced cucumber salad was refreshing. The atmosphere is depressing, like a cheap diner. My lunch without a drink was $12. read more

It's far from home, but I always make a point of going here at least once when I'm in town. Very good curries, kebabs and breads. I'm a lamb fan, and they do it well at Khyber Halal. I'd like a spot of good beer to wash it all down, but that's unavailable for obvious reasons. Friendly service. read more
