    Mantoo!!! 10 stars!!
    Janet L.

    My first Afghan experience! My mantoo is sooooo flavorful! Service was great. Mom and pop vibe. Parking was easy. Tip 1- bring a friend who's been there. Had it not been my friend, I would not have known what's the best! Tip 2- go on a Monday! Apparently the Mantoo are not always available because they made them in house and they are always sold out!

    Salad, rice and  assorted kabobs

    I took a friend and wanted to let her try several things. I ordered the combo dish, veggie samosas and naan. We both took home enough leftovers for several dinners. It was enough for six hungry young adults!!

    Wrong price on Mantoo, $15 ($18 when you get in the restaurant).

    Delicous food! Had the Goat Biryani and the Mantoo. Both were great. The goat was super tender and flavorful. The Mantoo was a tasty dish of dumplings filled with a ground beef mixture served in a tomato meat sauce with a yogurt sauce topping. My only complaint is that their online menu on their own website has inconsistent pricing compared to their printed menu in the restaurant. Call it false advertising, or possibly bait and switch. The online menu listed the Mantoo as both $12 and$15 depending on how you load their website, and that's what I came to eat. Yet, their printed menu lists the Mantoo as $18. I brought it to the attention of my server, and I thought she said they would "change the price", but when I paid the bill I was charged the $18 plus tax. So, I didn't leave a tip. Problem solved, but at the expense of the unfortunate server who was not rewarded for her attentive service. Sorry... you can't draw people in with one price and then switch it once they're in the door. If you click directly to the menu at the following link the price of the Mantoo is $12: http://www.khyberhalalfood.com/menu.html If you go to the homepage and select the menu link it then shows it as $15: https://indd.adobe.com/view/82aa4207-469f-492c-9b53-e5aa33b1ed95 Pics attached

    Had the Chaplin kebab and samosa. They provide the samosa with the raita which is a spicy yogurt cucumber dip. The samosa meat was minimally seasoned and the main flavor unfortunately had to be supplemented by the raitha.

    Took the pic halfway through eating it, everything was delicious and everyone was so nice. Love this place

    Go back again, and again. When you have where there something good you go back and back some more. This was the simple Gyro rich full flavored beef and lamb slathered with tzatziki sauce, in this case Lavash. Lavash is Armenian thin square shaped bread. The bread has more taste and texture then a Gyro. Khyber puts Gyro meat, yogurt and vegetables, such as lettuce, tomato, and onion then rolls them inside. (See photo) Inside, It forms a tube around the vegetables and meat. It is easy to handle. Maybe the only problem is to get the paper off the outside, for the delight of Khyber's Gyro. This is one perspicuous values the menu. If you order it, you will enjoy the fries as well. A mountain of thin cut fries that are nicely done as was our service.

    Qabuli Pulao
    Sabrina K.

    Loved our experience at Khyber Halal. The staff were friendly, and frequently checked on us during our meal. The food was AMAZING--very juicy, tender, and flavorful. We tried the garlic naan, chicken boti, and qabuli palau along with mango lassi and dogh. We were really impressed and definitely coming back next time in Phoenix.

    Chicken Boti

    It's very hard to find a good Pakistani restaurant in the Phoenix area, and this is it! I believe I have tried them all over the last 3 years. I had the Chicken Boti and it came with generous portions and was excellent. The server was very attentive and helpful. The restaurant itself was clean and well lit. I did notice that the prices online are way off from the in-store menu. Additionally, the hours can be unpredictable. They were closing at 6:30 PM when I went and their normal closing hours are 7:45. This is a small family owned business and they are doing the best they can. I would call in the afternoon and ask when they are closing before heading out. I still give them 5 stars because the food is all that matters to me.

    Lamb Shank & Sabzi!
    Sahil S.

    Tried their lamb shank & sabzi. Food tasted authentic & fresh. Definitely get an extra green "chatney" if you want a little hint of spiciness! Clean restaurant & good service! (As a bonus, Ahmad Zahir was playing in the background )

    Went there on Saturday night. Beautiful place, very welcoming and friendly. The food was outstanding. We had goat biryani, chicken bolani, quzi. Service was quick and very friendly. Definitely highly recommend.

    Food overall is tasty and of OK value. However the service was arrogant, bordering on rude.

    When will they re-open?

    Hello! We will be re-opening in May! Thank you so much for your support and we look forward to seeing you soon!

    Why is the restaurant closed? Is it going to reopen any time soon?

    They closed to focus on making meals for Afghan refugees. I was told it was for a month but they didn't sound like they had an exact date at the time. I'm hoping soon!

    This is a neat family establishment. The mother is the chef and Khadija (forgive me if I botched…read morethe spelling) is the daughter and our server. They were so welcoming. I am still learning about middle eastern cuisine so the chef described some entrees. I told her about a Pakistani dish I really enjoyed and she made me a similar chicken dish that isn't even on the menu! What I love about middle eastern food is that it is so fragrant and a full scale sensory overload. It looks, smells and tastes all at once. Khadija was adorable and very outgoing. I was super impressed by the whole vibe. All of the other patrons were probably far more familiar with the cuisine, but we felt welcome and were so honored that they presented something off the menu for me. I plan to try the regular menu dishes next time. The naan is outstanding, too.

    We have been here four separate times now, and it has become our go-to spot for Indian food. We…read morereally love Indian food and have tried other places, but none of them do it like this location. Every time we come, we end up ordering the same thing because it is just that good. We even joked about trying something new, but of course we ordered our usual again but we recently found out they have a buffet on Sundays, which is really nice if you want to try different dishes or expand your palate! The garlic naan is always a favorite, super savory and hard to stop eating. You can also choose the spice level for the masala. We finally tried the spiciest level, and I would say to be careful with that one. We would recommend medium instead. We are Hispanic and even for us the spiciest level was a little intense on our gastrointestinal system, but we still ate everything. If you want authentic Indian food with great spices, this is the place to go. It is usually pretty empty when we visit, which surprises us because the food is so good. We hope this place gets longer waits and we will definitely be eating here many more times.
