Khyber Pass Kabob - Juicy Chicken Kabob try some chutney also with the Tasty Rice. - Afghan Near Me - Dublin, California

This restaurant was soooo good! It reminded me of Xin Jiang food, from northwest china. We got the beef tikki Kebob and Quabilee Pallow with lamb. Delicious!!! read more

Been here twice now...good food, okay service (both times seemed kinda rushed and on the verge of poor service). Kinda strange vibe - seems like the owner is hanging out with friends and family a bit while patrons are dining. At a nearby table they were watching a YouTube video of something Afghani and it was really annoying - the tinny sound of music blasting out of a Samsung phone. I've decided to go 4 stars for now, I hope my third visit doesn't drop it to 3 stars. We'll see... read more

Being a vegetarian I did not have high hopes for this place even after reading a lot of reviews on yelp but I was in for a surprise!! The house salad was nice n fresh .. the bread was okay! I ordered the bolani (potato and leek stuffed bread ) and borani badejan (eggplant dish ) and they were so flavourful !!! My husband ordered a combination of chicken and lamb Kebab with some brown basmati rice and he was raving about how juicy and flavourful both the chicken and lamb were ! This place all in all is a tiny family run restaurant with a nice afghan ambiance and food that u will rembr for quite some time . read more

First time visit. Friendly service. Tasty food, but not 5 stars. Pretty busy. Free green salad & pita bread tasty. read more

Khyber Pass Kabob - Chicken & tri tip kabob. Good but not outstanding. - Afghan Near Me - Dublin, California

A co worker and a fellow yelper recommended me to this place. Thanks Umar G.! A little restaurant tucked away in a shopping center serving the best Afghan food. I had the Bolani as a main course and DH had the chapali kabob. The house made yoghurt dip is delicious! I had no idea that the Bolani, an appetizer would be huge! Very delicious and super friendly service and i love the decor Will definitely try again and will bring friends/family next time so we can order more more dishes :) read more

Looking for a new restaurant to try and came across this one. The ambiance was classy and warm. The lady who served my table was friendly and the service was great. I ordered the vegetarian platter which came with Badenjan. The dish was well made with sufficient portions. I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for authentic afghan cuisine. read more

Yummmmm finally tried this joint for lunch with my girl. I gotta take 1 star off for not refilling my water that should be a norm without asking. We ordered bolani for appetizer was full of flavor and crisp on the outside. They also give some yummy complimentary bread that was cool. We ordered the mantoo and chicken kabob that were both flavorful and delicious. We shall be back but probably only during lunch as prices are much more reasonable!!!! read more

As far as the flavor at this place - SOOOO good!! I ordered the Borani Badenjan (eggplant appetizer) and the Aushak. Really, it was so flavorful and so delicious. The customer service is really good too. And I hate to say this, but with alot of ethnic establishments, that's not always easy to get, and I say this even with restaurants of my own ethnicity. I was hesitant to come to this place for a long time. I pass by it all the time, but it just looked like a little unknown hole in the wall. I'm glad I read the Yelp reviews because I would have missed out on all this deliciousness! The ONLY thing I would say, is that the dishes were a bit on the extra oily side, but I guess that's why it's so delicious LOL. Also, it would be nice if they used more environmentally friendly take out containers, rather than the styrofoam. Overall, I'm a fan and I can't wait to try the rest of the dishes! read more

It's such a shame that we don't live closer, or we would eat here at least once a week. The flavors are fresh and unique and they have great choices for vegetarians and meat lovers alike. Everything from the dumpling appetizer to the pudding for dessert was absolutely delicious. We stopped here on the way home and we will be back anytime we are even remotely close. The bolani was flavorful and the crisp on the outside/soft on the inside ratio was perfect. You can choose if you want it to be mild, medium, or spicy. We chose spicy and enjoyed it immensely. The dumplings are seasoned perfectly and the two sauces on top complement the filling very well. We also tried the garlicky hummus and the creamy yogurt. The food overall was craving-worthy. The lamb was so tender that you just use a fork. The rice with carrots and raisins was flavorful, unique, and absolutely delicious. I could have had a pudding to myself and maybe next time I'll save more space for dessert. The service was great. Everyone was friendly and very helpful with our questions. A great experience we hope to repeat as soon as possible. So glad we have leftovers! read more

The place was packed but thankfully we had a reservation. The service was sub par, and they forgot about 2 dishes we ordered for a party of 8. If you get seated near the door, prepare yourself because it's sooooo cold. The appetizer was delicious (Bolani or something) but they ripped us off with the lamb plates. They substituted beef for one of the lamb pieces thinking we wouldn't notice. Overall, not worth the trip. read more

Lamb filet kabob is the best I have ever had. Super friendly family owned restaurant. Everything feels homemade.. I highly recommend Khyber Pass read more

We stopped here for lunch based upon the YELP recommendation, and were not disappointed. We told our server, Jonathon, that this was our first time at an Afghani restaurant. He explained the items. I ordered the Quaballi Pallow which was a tender lamb shank smothered in seasoned rice with raisins and carrots. Looking at the plate, I was sure I'd take half of it with me. WRONG. I practically licked the plate clean. read more

Small place. The bolani is big and is served with yogurt, however, I think it's vegetarian. Lamb chop kabob was pretty good. The meat was very tender and falls off the bone. Service could use some help. They have a place where no shoes are allowed and you sit on the floor kind of the traditional type of sitting style, I guess. read more

We enjoyed a wonderful family dinner at Khyber tonight. The service was amazing and the food was delicious! We shared the bolani and aushak appetizers and also enjoyed the complimentary bread and salad. Our party of five had a mixture of meat and vegetarian dishes and all were excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant for great service and quality! I could eat here again tomorrow... and the day after tomorrow... and the day after... read more

The delicious cuisine tastes as though it were prepared with skill, precision, mastery, and love - not to mention the plates look delectable and mouth watering. It is one of my go to places to pick up a meal where I know I will not be disappointed. read more

Great service & great food! We started with some hummus and mantoo, both good. Then we shared the quabilee pillow and the lamb was falling off the bone. Overall, fantastic! read more

Best food and I love their dressing on the salad. Try it and you will fall in love with salads!

What a wonderful restaurant! Delicious food and friendly, welcoming service that feels like you're being welcomed into someone's home. Appetizers: both delicious! Borani Badenjan (baked eggplant and tomatoes, topped with a yogurt sauce), $5.95 (a favorite!) Mantoo (dumplings with ground beef topped with your cream and ground beef sauce), $5.95 Entree: Two of us split the Beef Tikka Kabob, $14.50 Dessert: Baklava, $5.50 All was really tasty! read more

A delicious local spot with authentic food. My favorites are the Qaboli Pallow, and the Chopan kabob. Their salads are amazing too. My friend once ordered the baklava and it was perfect - not too sweet and not too rich tasting. Just light and amazing. I feel like the portions are quite generous. This is my go to when I don't feel like cooking! read more

This family run business welcomed me in and got a to go order ready that was absolutely delicious. The food was authentic and tasted amazing. Definitely will go back! read more

V good spot right here. You feel like you're in someone's home - one because the sweet stylings, two because the hospitality. The daughter of the fam served us and she was lovely- recommend good stuff and had us try their custard/pudding dessert which was such a treat. Highly recommend treating yourself. Best of all it's in a reallllly unassuming little strip mall guy read more

Pros: Highly recommend the lamb kebabs! They were so flavorful, juicy and delicious. The accompanying brown basmati rice were a nice addition as well. Cons: It seems that they do not offer the lunch prices during the weekend, even though we were given a lunch menu, kind of misleading. So, paying over $40 for two cokes and two lunch entrees, it was a rather expensive lunch. read more

Excellent food, fabulous service, and pleasant setting. A new favorite for me and my family. It is new so swing by and enjoy the pleasures! The lamb dishes are awesome. read more

Food is fantastic. We had tried this place when it originally opened and found it to be ok. Tried it again a few weeks ago and it has now become a favorite. Only issue here is that it has far more demand than seating:( they need a bigger space. Hard to wait with little hungry kids. read more

Out with some cycling buddies, one suggested this place. I've never had Afghani food before, but am pretty adventuresome and open to trying different foods.All I can say is WOW! I was blown away with my meal (Sabzee Challow)...in fact, all 4 of us were totally impressed with how tasty the food was. The staff (might be the owners) were very friendly and attentive. You only get a single free refill on hot tea and no free refills on soda. The restaurant is medium in size and there are not a lot of tables...but enough to keep a small staff busy. Located in a strip mall, there is plenty of parking. This is one of those rare restaurants that I can't wait to go back to and try other dishes. If you're in the area and try this place, I think you too will become a big fan. I STRONGLY recommend this place. read more

I was excited to see "Brown Rice" on the menu. I need to eat healthy and I'm diabetic so I really appreciate it when a restaurant has brown rice. I ordered the lamb kabob with brown rice. I was served white rice with seasoning. The restaurant seems to think it's OK to call seasoned white rice, "brown rice". I felt mislead and frustrated. It took them a little while to make my meal despite me being the only person in the restaurant at the time. They cook it after you order which is fine but I had only allotted a certain amount of time and could not wait for them to replace it with something. However, they did offer to replace it with salad. The cook came out and explained how it's OK to eat the white rice because they rinse the starch out of it. They proved they don't understand or know health. White rice turns to sugar very quickly and can be dangerous for diabetics. Rinsing it does not change this. Again, misleading. When I walked into the restaurant it appeared empty. I waited a bit and the lady in back finally noticed me. After waiting a while for the check I decided to just get up and walk to the counter so I could pay and leave. The food was certainly better than average. I just can't get past the brown rice thing. They really need to change their menu. I research restaurants before I go and I felt this was false advertising. It's also a new one on me. I've never been to a restaurant that had a different definition of brown rice. It also cost $18. That's way too much for lunch. Unfortunately, I will not be back. read more

Food is amazing! I had the fish very delicious. Great customer service as well. Great energy and welcoming.

I was looking for another Afghan restaurant in the area and I arrived here and I'm so glad I did. I ordered 4 appetizers for lunch. I had humas, mantoo, borani badenjan and bolani. The humus was extra flavorful. I'd had manta and bolani before but these were better. And the eggplant was so tasty, much more flavor than usual. Maybe because I was so effusive with my praise, I got some lovely rose water and cardamon pudding and black tea for dessert. Great friendly service. Thanks Mariam read more

Yes, I can say I'm a fan of this place since we discovered it a couple of months ago from a mailer on the Valuepak coupons. My hubby and I loves Mediterranean and middle eastern food and quite familiar with menus. So one Friday night in April, we found and loved Khyber....We tasted Mantou, challow, kobadeh and other stuff on the menu. Even my one year old enjoyed what we ordered. The seasoning on every item we tasted is enough but doesn't over power the food. We make it a point to eat here monthly now. read more

BEYOND AMAZING!!!! Thank you khyber pass staff for being so awesome and serving us such delicious food! I had their chopan kabob and it was absolutely mouthwatering!!! I even tried some of the food that my friends ordered and omg it was all so tasty! They are just AMAZING! Thank you again for the delicious food and awesome service! read more

My friends and I went to Panir but it was under renovation so we looked at Yelp and found this 4 1/2 star restaurant. When we got to the place, we saw the location and weren't sure if we want to proceed. We decided to park and look at their menu. Saw the plates of people eating inside and we all decided to risk it. We were so glad that we did dbecause this place is a gem! The moment we came in, wewere greeted warmly by the staff. The place is small but very cute and cozy. The service is quick and servers are very nice. The food was absolutely delicious. We started with 2 appetizers - the Mantoo - dumplings with beef and Borani Kaddo - sauteed pumpkin with yogurt. They were both so good that I wanted to lick the bowl with pumpkin. We also ordered a pitcher of their yogurt soda drink with cucumber. It was refreshing. My boyfriend and a friend ordered the grilled chicken and beef kabob. They cooked both to perfection. The sirloin beef was juicy and the chicken was not dry. The flavors and spices are well proportioned. I ordered the Koobideh which is a ground beef kabob. I love koobideh and they did not disappoint me. Another friend ordered the Kofta Challow. We all tried what each one ordered and we all agree that they were all delicious. I can't wait to come back to this place and try other things on their menu. Oh, they also gave us a huge portion of salad and bread that came with the meal. We didnt order any appetizer because we were all full and got hesitant to order more but our server gave us a decent amount of sample of their ice cream. It was delicious! We will definitely try their other desserts next time. The price is absolutely reasonable. There were four of us and our bill just came up to eighty something. That was very good. I look forwward to coming back to this place. read more

We had the Beef Teka Kabob, the Challow Beef Kabob (koobideh), Aushak and Mantoo - everything was amazing. Food had great flavor, nice, homey traditional ambience, really nice and hospitable family owners. This place has been added to one of our top favorites! read more

Had the Kofta Challow and having Egyptian relatives who make kofta on the regular, the kofta here is awesome! I also love the ambience and the decorations! Came in at around 11:30 just in time for lunch and there weren't many people but both the big party tables have been reserved for lunch time already which shows just how popular yhis joint is! The owner and the servers are very personable in that they see how you're doing often and they love answering questions about their specialty which is Afghan Cuisine. Overall, had an awesome experience!! Yay!! read more

Khyber Pass Kabob - Kofta Challow - Afghan Near Me - Dublin, California

We found this place by accident - first had a craving for Mexican food but then popped our head inside Khyber Pass and the waitress, Mary, did a wonderful job convincing us we should stay. We tried everything she suggested: Mantu dumplings, humus, Chicken kabob, Quabilee Pallow and Sabzee Challow, Firni for dessert. It was all very fresh and flavorful. My husband and I really liked the spices in the Mantu dumplings. Mary's mom (who does the cooking) was nice enough to give me a little container of the homemade spice to try at home. So thoughtful!! It was a very serendipitous discovery. We are glad we tried the food and hope to come back soon! read more

Cute little place. My girlfriends and I were seated at the no shoe, on the floor, pillow seating area. Very well decorated with vibrant colors. As soon as you are seated they give complimentary pita bread and salad. We had to tell the waitress that we were ready to order after being seated now for about 30 mins. I had ordered beef kebab (medium), my friends got lamb shank curry and eggplant borani. Everything was soooooo tasty and flavorful. My friends' eggplant dish was the best! I would def order for me next time. The curry also had great flavor with the spice not so overpowering. We also tried their saffron pistachio and mango ice cream. The pistachio was different from what we've had. We described it as eating bath n body lotion. Very floral pungent tasting. -1 star for the lack of service. Had to tell them we were ready to order, had to ask for refills, had given us the bill when we had wanted dessert so they had to re-print our bill. read more
