One of the best restaurants I've ever been to... not only is the food absolutely delicious, but the warmth of the people and the authentic decor makes it a very cozy place to have dinner at with some long conversations!
I've been coming here weekly for about 2 months now. And I'll be coming here weekly for as long as I can. This place is how a restaurant should be. Relaxed, amazing owners/staff and the food is incredible - I think there's a wizard in the kitchen. Keep it up guys. Love it.
This is the best north indian Pakistani restaurant in melbourne. Have been going for 20 years since it was in Blackburn. Best tasting curries ive ever had. All freshly made (sometimes you have to wait but its worth it).
Dined here tonight as a group of 4. We opted for the banquet. Good value. $28pp for papadums & a mixture of 3 entrees (samosa, shamee kababs & vege pakora) & 4 mains (mixture of 2 lamb, 1 beef & 1 chicken dishes) with rice & chapati. We paid extra & got dessert. I had the gulab jaman. Restaurant not licenced, byo any@ alcohol, we all ordered soft drinks @ $3 per glass. Service was somewhat friendly but very slow & non attentive. Full of regulars & man/owner spent most of the time talking to the regulars. Food tasty with some good flavours. Overall when we got the bill we paid $37.50pp for all the food & drink we had.
What a gem! It's our weekly go-to place!! Jeff is an awesome guy and the food is seriously amazing. Every week we try something different but it's all exquisite. It's BYO only by the way. Very very reasonable prices and great atmosphere!
Absolutely brilliant food. All the dishes were perfectly spiced to bring out individual flavours. The family run restaurant welcomes you as if you are one of them. Definitely recommend.
A hidden gem. The service and hospitality of the staff/family is outstanding and the food is aromatic and full of flavour. Highly recommend the lamb kofta and for those that like it hot the murgani chicken is a personal favourite. You owe it to yourself to give this place a try, you will not be disappointed.
Lovely food, homely atmosphere! I would prefer to go down to Kyber Pass than any other local Indian restaurant! Jeff is a lovely owner and is always up for a chat!
Awsome hospitality.
Awsome food.
Awsome desserts.
Awsome service.
Awsome host. Thanks to the couple.
They literally put their love while making the food. Although its a pakistan restaurant, but u cannot make difference between the taste whether its indian or pakistani. Amazing atmosphere they create for you, feels like home. If you are in Melbourne then you should visit this place.
My family and I have been coming to the Khyber Pass for years and have never been disappointed. The food is impeccable with generous portions, so much flavour and melt in your mouth meat. Jeff is so attentive and you feel like a part of a wonderful local community when you come in. Would highly recommend. PS Added bonus is you can take your leftovers home and they are just as good second day.
Words will not do this restaurant justice. The food is absolutely amazing and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I was recommended by a number of friends to go and try it and I wish I had done it earlier. This is definitely now one of the places on the top of my list! Thanks for creating this gem of a place, a very satisfied customer.
Outside there is little evidence that this is an outstanding suburban gem. We dined at this restaurant on a recent wintry Friday evening with friends for the second time, and were impressed by the delicious food and friendly service from the family team. Husband acts as front of house, and wife is a very competent chef. On occasions, other family members wait on tables as well. The menu is cleverly structured to provide a range of flavours to accommodate all tastes, and diners BYOB which is also popular. Decor is eclectic and colourful, seating comfortable and not crowded, music very muted and floors carpeted, which means the place is not noisy. Another aspect which was much appreciated on a cold winter's night - the toilets were inside the building, as well as very clean. To top it all off, the prices are not at all expensive. Worth a visit even if you're not close by, but I suggest booking to ensure you get a table as this place is popular with the locals! Highly recommended.

We visited this place just after Victoria came out of lockdowns and we were blown away by the taste and the quality of the food.
The place has very homely vibes and the owner of the restaurant makes sure they have a nice chat with you. One advice, please make a booking as we say the place fill up pretty quickly.
We had the murg tikka, the shami kebab, and the naggra bhaji as the appetisers and they did not disappoint. For me, the shami kebab was the most amazing of these. The lamb mince filling was so light yet well spiced and delicious. I couldn’t get enough of this.
The chicken lahori that we had for the main course comes very close to being one of the best chicken dishes that I’ve had in a restaurant. The chicken was so soft and tender but the masala was the king. It packed a heavy punch of spices, heat and everything nice! I’ve not a single negative about this dish.
The chicken baloch was a milder version of the lahori and is perfect for kids and adults who cannot handle the spices.
The Shahi veg was a bit of a downer as it had more potatoes to it than a healthy mix of other vegetables. Could’ve been better.
The thing that we were not happy with the place was the wait times. I am not sure if they were short staffed or this is the norm but we had a long wait for the food to arrive after we placed the orders. The kids were not really happy with this and nether were the adults with this experience at 8 pm in the evening.
Wow! We went here last night to catch up with friends and chose the tasting menu. It was such amazing food!
Such a cozy atmosphere and the food was outstanding! Can’t remember last time I had such delicious comfort food. Amazing spices, well balanced 👍
We even had some vegetarians in the group which were also very happy with options. The vegetarian garlic Dhal was outstanding (so was everything else). Will definitely be back soon.
Amazing Pakistani food! Wonderful customer service each and every time that we come here. The is a huge range of dishes so you can try something new each time!
Absolutely delicious food!! Very authentic, great menu and excellent service. We’ll be back soon!
The food is as close to authentic as you can realistically expect to find at any restaurant serving sub-continental fare.
The decor appears tired, though, mercifully that doesn't influence the food!
Finally my search for Lahori Chicken ends, hands down the best I've had in Melbourne so far.
Nothing beats a Friday night curry takeaway and this must be by far the best I’ve had. Definitely hits the spot on a cold winter night
Beautiful family atmosphere,
Excellent food,
Great staff in a beautiful relaxing restaurant.
