"Khyber Pass, although I am excited that it’s staying in family hands and excited to see Bar and Cart. Keefer Court and Khyber Pass Cafe’s closures were especially heartbreaking. While Keefer Court’s closure was understandably needed, Khyber Pass was and forever will be a special institution." - Eater Staff
"If you’re looking for anything less than a feast, steer clear of this Duluth BYOB, which serves up hefty, flavourful platters of Afghan food. Despite an issue a few years back that resulted in the restaurant taking down its famous wooden facade, Khyber Pass remains as strong as ever — and its lamb dishes are just as good." - Joel Balsam
"This Afghan restaurant has drawn Duluth pedestrians in droves since it opened in the 1990s, whether it’s on warm summer weekends for the terrasse or cozy nights in the winter. Ambiance is part of the sell at Khyber Pass, but people return for the stewed, spiced lamb and manti (a genius Central Asian dumpling) in garlic yogurt sauce." - Holly Tousignant
"Another leafy, hidden terrasse to help you hide from the sun while still taking advantage of eating in the great outdoors (during the few months when it’s possible to do so). This Afghan resto’s flavour-packed platters are best washed down with a nice chilled bottle of wine: Khyber Pass is a BYOB, so don’t forget the rosé. It’s only open from 5 p.m. daily, but still a great option to escape your unairconditioned hotbox apartment." - Holly Tousignant
"Nothing helps you forget about the weather outside more than cozying up in a comforting, cavernous space and chowing down on a lamb shank with myriad other Afghani side dishes. Not to mention, Khyber Pass is also BYOW so you can warm up from the inside out. Expect a different façade next time you pass by." - Mallory Frayn
