Khyber Pass Restaurant

"Leave the cooking to the team at Khyber Pass, the Plateau’s beloved Afghan BYOB, where diners find hefty servings of meat (the lamb is a crowd favourite), rice, and plenty of other Afghan dishes." - Eater Staff

"Named for the mountainous passage between Afghanistan and Pakistan, this Afghan BYOB restaurant from Faruk Ramisch may be smack dab in the heart of the Plateau, but it often goes overlooked by both locals and tourists. Rich in spices, aromatics, dumplings, and noodles with lots of hefty meat dishes topped with sabzi (an paste of spinach and green herbs), it’s all rich and wonderfully filling here." - JP Karwacki, Ivy Lerner-Frank

"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, Valerie Silva, Eater Staff

"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, Eater Staff
