Khyber North Indian Grill - Review - Upper Kirby - Houston - The Infatuation

"Khyber Grill has been around for a few decades serving Indian dishes that keep us warm from the inside out (but that could also be the spice level). Nothing soaks up the flavor of the tomato curry like the delicate lamb and rich butter chicken. Alongside the massive portions, this Upper Kirby place is a casual spot made for a weeknight meal. And try to share the malai kofta, which will become your hyperfixation dish for the next few months. photo credit: Liz Silva photo credit: Liz Silva photo credit: Liz Silva Pause Unmute Food Rundown Malai Kofta Clocking in as one of our favorite dishes here, the bouncy dumpling texture, and subtle spice of the malai kofta keeps us coming back for more. photo credit: Liz Silva Saag Paneer The saag paneer is fresh with firm blocks of cheese. It is serviceable but doesn’t have quite as much flavor as the other dishes. Opt for the malai kofta instead. Butter Chicken Khyber Grill is on our shortlist for the best butter chicken in Houston. The tender chicken is soaked in garlic and tomato flavor. We typically order extra naan to ensure we can soak up every bit of this dish. photo credit: Liz Silva Lamb Curry Heat is the main ingredient in the lamb curry, and that’s why we love it. Sweat it out as you eat through spoonfuls of delicate lamb that’s bathed in garlic. photo credit: Gianni Greene Dessert Khyber has a few dessert options, but our favorite is the cooling kheer. The rice pudding and golden raisins are subtly sweet and the crunch from crushed pistachios give the dish a little extra earthiness. photo credit: Gianni Greene" - Gianni Greene
