Khyber Pass Cafe - (651) 690-0505

I brought my co-workers to the Kyber Pass for our annual get together and everyone loved it. Their chutney is something really special. My vegetarian co-worker was very pleased with the options. I am mostly vegetarian, usually only eating meat when there are no other options, but their lamb chop special is so perfectly grillled and tender and tasty that I have to eat it, even though there are lots of other delicious options. My boss sprang for an assortment of three desserts and they were all delightful. My co-workers are both wine connoisseurs and they loved the wine choices. We will definitely come back.

I ordered the Lamb Chop special on a Saturday evening. They were perfectly prepared and served with basmati rice, cilantro chutney! the cost was only $18. i think that this is very reasonable for such a special dish that in any other city would cost much more. I loved the chutney so much that i wish that they had it available at whole foods or something. Also, the ambiance is very peaceful and welcoming with many lovely painting and photos on the wall. I will be back to the Khyber Pass soon on a Saturday for the lamb. so, so good!

Staff was sullen & slow. Bread was stale. My dinner companion received the wrong dish but went ahead and ate it. I received spoiled, uncooked chicken next to a bed of rice that looked and tasted as if it had been sitting all day. This is the first time in my life that I have sent food back in a restaurant but the meal was not edible. The manager took the meal off the bill (I only consumed 2 bites) but no apology was offered. Perhaps the restaurant was having an "off" night but with so many wonderful options in the Twin Cities area why take the risk?
