It is a large establishment, and the first thing that caught my attention was how clean the place was. The Halim soup as a starter was one of the best I have ever had - it was full of tender lamb infused with lemon, garlic, lentils, and other amazing ingredients. The chicken Ceylon was topped with pure coconut powder, giving it a true coconut flavor that reminded me of Ceylon. The quality of the chicken was average, but the lack of sauce in the main curry dishes made the food a bit dry. The burnt naan bread served with the soup was disappointing and could have been avoided with better quality control. The waitstaff, while friendly, seemed to be constantly pacing back and forth, which was a bit off-putting. Despite these flaws, I would definitely consider returning to Khyber for the amazing flavors. - Mr. Curry

When we made the reservation, the customer service was excellent, as they inquired about the special occasion. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted and the staff wished my father a happy birthday. We were then escorted to our table which was adorned with birthday balloons. The food and service throughout the evening were outstanding. To cap off the meal, my father was surprised with a birthday cake and received a round of applause from the staff. This unexpected gesture, along with the balloons, truly made my father's evening. He was beaming throughout the meal and on our way home. I highly recommend the exceptional food at this restaurant. I am extremely grateful to the staff for their attention to detail and for transforming what would have been an ordinary birthday celebration into a memorable one. We are already planning a return visit to this wonderful establishment.
