"38 years into its tenure at Grand Avenue and Snelling Avenue, Khyber Pass Cafe remains the place to go for comfort food in Mac-Groveland. At this Afghan restaurant, you’ll find impossibly creamy hummus, tender kabobs, and spiced curries served with fragrant basmati rice. Regulars know that no order is complete without one — or many — of the rainbow of chutneys on offer, from tart cherry to cilantro and walnut." - Julie Zhou
