Khyber Pass

Honest review! Good service & generous quantities. The tandoori mixed grill however, was terrible. The rice & curry sauce were very good but the important part, the mixed grill itself, advertised as 1. Tandoori and 2. Cooked over hot coals is just not true. It's saturated in cheap commercial tandoori paste, zero char from a grill and tastes reheated. I imagine it all came from a bucket in the fridge having been previously stewed on something. The lamb chops were inedible, tasted frozen and like they'd been cooked several times, before being drenched in over salty cheap paste. A tandoori mixed grill should be juicy and properly cooked fresh over coals or in a tandoor. I don't understand why food outlets describe their food to be one thing but then serve food like this to customers with no pride in what they do. Saying that, their curry sauce is very nice. Some mixed vegetables would also have been nice with the mixed tandoor. It only costs a few pennies to throw them on the supposed hot coals. Yannow, the ones that create a char! The ones that don't exist judging by the poor meat.... :( So the good.... Rice was ok, naan breads ok but below average, kebab generous but mediocre quality, curry sauce perfect for British Indian style. The bad. The worst tandoori grill I've ever had. Not fresh, not cooked over coals. Very disappointed :-( Saying that, the quantities were good and overall it wasn't terrible. Unfortunately though, I wouldn't use again. It really shouldn't be this difficult to find reasonable food!

I have only tried their specials when they cook home style food. Location is excellent for students. It's a blessing for international students at Aberdeen University who are far from home and miss desi Khana. Students should encourage them to cook more home style desi khana. We pre ordered for a group of 10 matka biryanis that was slow cooked in layers of rice and biryani gravy

First time here for food after a mate said it was good. Guy who served me was nice and polite and very helpful, ordered some different curries, starters and nan. The vegetable curry was great, korma was ok but not the best, pakora, nan were all great. Overall this is one of the best in Aberdeen. They should look at opening a dine in as I am sure it would be busy.

Fantastic meal from Khyber Pass and great value. We try out different Curry take aways and Khyber was one of the best we've tried.
