Khyber Pass in Elmbridge

Very good atmosphere great friendly staff good food highly recommended

Khyber Pass is such a cosy, warm and friendly family run local restaurant. Although, I do sense a lack of passion for quality here. The king prawns looked and felt like had been run over back and forth by a lorry and the chicken pieces were like bullets. The samosas were rather sad as if to say find me if you can. Too much sugar in everything, even the yoghurt! So the chef would need a kick up the bum if he were in a Southall cook off. Otherwise, it's a really decent local.

Don’t bother booking a table as you’ll get chased off the table after 1.5 hours for others waiting at the bar for a table. The majority of that time was spent waiting for our main course. Having been the last table in our area to be served their main, although we were the first to be seated, we were asked to hand over the table as our mains were being cleared, not offered another drink or menu for dessert, yet others were still seated around us. Pity as it was our first time trying Khyber Pass, after going to another local Indian for the last couple of years we thought we would try it. Not any better than our other Indian, we won’t be back.

Our first time at our new local restaurant and definitely not our last. Thank you to Charley, who made us feel so welcome at the start and all of the wonderful staff at this establishment. The lamb bhuna and chicken Tikka masala were absolutely delicious for the mains, as well as the prawn puri to start, pilau rice and chilli Naan. Highly recommend and can't wait to return!

Nothing wrong with the food, just little things stopped me giving it 5 stars.

Had two takeaways recently.. both perfect Excellent!

A must try restaurant with amazing good food and service. Really recommend this place if your coming into the area. Everything about my stay was truly fantastic and can’t wait to come back for more. Thank you!

On the evening we went, the restaurant was full. We had reserved a table. The service was a little slow but the Biriani was lovely and my friends enjoyed the meat dishes too. Also the Kingfisher beer was very good. This is the traditional British Indian restaurant. There are not many vegetarian dishes

We love this place. We moved away 16 years ago and are back visiting friends. I couldn’t believe it but not only is the food still superb but Ali remembered us and our old address. Such lovely people.

We went in on a very busy evening and understandably the service was slow but the manager made it up with good behavior and constant checking on us. The food was decent but not great I was expecting better for a 4.5 rated restaurant. My order was vegetarian and hence the review is strictly for vegetarian dishes. The ambience of the restaurant is great and service is also excellent.

The food is fine however the staff are always trying to overcharge you. The chef is outrageously rude and noisy for no reason. They are always coughing and spluttering out the back of the kitchen which frankly is disgusting.

Good was delicious and service very good

Food is delicious and the stuff is extremely lovely.. Thank you Khyber Pass for this nice evening and for the good quality of meals

Absolutely fabulous Indian restaurant. Food exceptional. Service, superb from people who treat you like you are a member of the family. Truly memorable

Always been my favourite Indian in Walton. Great food and freondly staff.

Delicious food - best restaurant in Walton

Lovely evening . Been going to Kyber Pass for years . So polite and good lovely

Super food and service. Great atmosphere.

Long time since we’ve had an Indian takeaway. This didn’t disappoint, tasty, good quality, hot and overall great value.

Simply put, we love the Khyber Pass and have only ever had excellent meals here. The staff here - headed up by the lovely Mr Khan and Ali - are so friendly and attentive. The food is great. Best curry in Walton, eat-in or take-out, without question.

After reading such high reviews we visited with our daughter living in the area. We were very disappointed with the quality and taste of food. Poppadoms were stale. Chutneys were old and tasteless. Lime chutney was ok. Main courses, passanda was asestically repulsive, the flavour wasn't like a typical passanda. The tikka masala tasted like wine. Couldn't eat that. The balti was bland. We asked for banana frittas which were not on the menu, but they kindly supplied. I don't think the chef had ever made them before. Mushy, tasteless and full bananas, not frittas. Staff were nice, location and interior was nice. Just wouldn't recommend on food taste. Date of visit: December 2022

Last time, a Fabulous Dhansak with friends, what could be better? Same group again, but Chilli Massala to tingle the pallet😁

Used to come here more often, but haven’t been for a couple of years. They still remembered me. The food was excellent, but the portions were too large for me. The service, well, they had so many waiters there was overkill, so faultless. Must go more often.

Stopped on way home from work for food. Very nice and enough to last 2 days. The main was slightly different to what I've had in other places, bitter, almost burnt tasting, shame as its my go to. But on the whole nice food.

Always welcoming and friendly, even when taking g food away. Meals were lovely.

The food is delicious and the service is excellent. I enjoy the ambience so much it has become my go to for great Indian food!

Just been to khyber pass pick up takeaway, hate to say it but no flavour in the meal, sauce like water no body to it, chicken hard but i think cooked before then given to us i.e. not fresh shame as I have been before and had no problems ? Tommy

Food was amazing, staff great and welcoming. Enjoyed our evening out.

Best service and make delicious food with hygienic.

Had a delivery last night, easy web site to order from and fantastic curry! I’ll be back for sure!

Really nice Indian, staff were attentive and offered good banter. Selection of both kingfisher and cobra beer. Nice atmosphere on a Saturday night.

Absolutely great place, great nosh, great service. Wonderful place to eat, reasonably priced and full of friendly staff.

Great food never been disappointed, always looked after by the owner & staff, best curry's in Walton 5*.

The food from the Khyber Pass is consistently delicious, We have delivery mostly, and last night's food was exceptional (a forgotten item was delivered promptly). Decent size portions all packed with flavour. I hadn't thought to write a review before because it's take away. It's a licenced restaurant with friendly service.

Had a meal there tonight excellent food,service,and was looked after well .All waiters very friendly

Love their biryani. Love their customer service. Good location.

Really good food and excellent rezala chicken.

The food was not as nice as I was hoping it to be and still cost me a bit for rubbish food I did not leave a tip as I was not satisfied

Excellent food and ambiance as always, would highly recommend! Also a special mention to the staff who are most welcoming.

Quality food and worth the price

Inconsistent quality both of the food and the service. They even forgot an item in my last order won't be ordering from this place anymore.

First time using this restaurant. Excellent takeaway so fresh. Will be using all the time now.

Had a pleasant evening here with the family one day. The staff were very lovely and welcoming. Food was tasty. Will be back again.

Food and staff amazing as always x

Good food Eating in OR takeaway free delivery Excellent friendly staff and owner . Service with a smile and quality maintaining with hygiene of priority. Good value for money I have worked there in the past as part time cleaner waiter and now visiting there as a friend and have food and sometimes a glass of beer with the owner and a chat with fantastic friendly staff Lovevur

Amazing sag aloo, THE loveliest staff, mr Khan is a legend!

Very welcoming a d really enjoyed food!

Wonderful staff and lovely food

Great service, tasty food. No wonder it's been open and running for as long as it has. Look forward to eating there again soon.

I wrote the review below 5 years ago. It is still my favourite local restaurant. Since the pandemic I have had quite a few takeaways but with restrictions lifted it is a real treat to eat in. Many friends have enjoyed meals here. Highly recommended Absolutely fab restaurant. Lovely food, great service at an excellent price. If you want something a special way ask and if it is not quite as expected say. Ali and Mr Kahn want to please.

Yet another delicious meal with excellent service as always, Su & friends will be back soon 😉👍

Excellent food friendly staff.Value for money Pls try it . I will definitely go again.AAAAA

Our favourite Indian restaurant. Husband has been eating here for over 30yrs. Food and service excellent. Have moved 300 miles away, but always visit when we come south to see family.

Wow! This restaurant is amazing. Nothing wrong with it at all. The staff are so kind and welcoming and the food is so delicious. 100% recommend!

Just had a meal here and absolutely loved it. The food was amazing and the staff were lovely 👍🏻

Food was nice and service was swift. I order a takeaway to eat in the park. They forgot to give me my takeaway cutlery. Not happy hence 4 stars.

Super friendly staff, and absolutely delicious! We will be back!!!

Best Indian food in the area.Nice people and great takeaways.

Went to the Khyber for a meal with friends had a lovely time the the staff are so friendly in there, we are hoping to go again soon.

Having eaten in many times, we got delivery tonight due to lock down.. very prompt delivery and food was as always... I tend to order things not on the menu and they are always happy to accommodate. Thanks again

Friendly staff and really good food! Didn’t feel rushed to leave when we was done. Good social distancing too 😆 Will be back again!

I have been getting my Curry from Kyber Pass for 28 years! Just had a take away! The best food, best service, friendley, polite! Mr Khan is one of the nicest people i've met, sending him & his staff much thanks & love ❤

A very strong contender against our fave! Good prices

Staff good. Food good. Been going over 30 years Take aways are really good as well.I can’t fault the staff and food.

Very nice small friendly restaurant, and the food was lovely.

Avoid at all costs, don't waste your money here. I cannot understand how this place has got such good reviews. Ordered a takeaway this evening and have literally just thrown it all in the bin and ordered a pizza express :-( The prawn puree was swimming in oil and the bread was so oily and gross too. The chicken tikka was completely disgusting, I couldn't even call it chicken, clearly frozen and not defrosted properly, it was like stringy jelly. AWFUL. Most unauthentic Indian food I've ever had. Hopefully this is not the norm

Very pleased. Asked about vegan options and the person I spoke to was knowledgeable and happy to help. Food was lovely. Will definitely be ordering from again.

Khyber Pass is amazing. Every time we go we all love the food and they remember exactly who we are and its the things like that which make us feel so welcome. We have been using them for years and will continue to do so. Amazing food and service!

Best for the curry’s. Definitely coming back soon. The service is absolutely amazing. For sure I will recommend this place👍🏼

Shockingly bad complete waste of money not up to there usual standards wont be going back

We love ordering from here! We get the chicken rezala! Highly recommend it!

The best of the best ! And my local .... Loved it . Perfection

In this unusual time, we are being shielded. However, I asked for a delivery from the Khyber Pass Indian restaurant. It arrived with speed and was perfect when received. The service and politeness both at ordering and delivery was magnificent. We can have our favourites when we need them. Will always use them again. Such

My new curry house! Friend recommended and have had 5 quality take aways. Staff friendly, highly recommend!

We asked several times for a jug of water,how difficult can that be!! after 4 of us having demolished 2 bots of wine, some of us wanted to go into water, food was ok, but not fantastic.

Great food, great service. Authentic cuisine and some specialities. Highly recommended

I order the kind of thing comes with mango chukney, yogurt and mint, lime chuckney I think and another thing can’t remember the name and before I was touching I asked how much it was then the lady said £0.25 and I was quite happy about the price, then we decided to order the starter and the main which was chicken biriani hot and lamb biriani mild. Then the main arrived and I asked where it was my starter and apparently they didn’t wrote it at all. Then they said was going to arrived soon and we said to leave it. We start to eat when we realised my main or lamb biriani didn’t taste at all of lamb. So I decided to complain because I just had a bite and I realised was not biriani because came with chicken rice for me and for my friend who order chicken biriani. I complain and at the end in total was £22 but I was going to pay £2 less, but I felt unfair and discriminated for paying £2 instead of the total of the thing I order. The guy came and said I order another thing instead when I didn’t. Even my friend said I order lamb biriani but they were very rude saying I order another thing. I went to the desk and I ask a old guy if he was the manager and he said ‘yes’ when another guy said he was the manager so I explained and I was still not happy. At the end, I didn’t pay because I was not happy because I was expecting something different and then the manager and the team said to my friend to not bring me back here which is very very silly and to be honest? Is sad because I will not definitely come back to this restaurant for the bad service and for the professionalism.

This is my regular curry house and its fantastic! The place I was using beforehand were watering down their sauces to save money I think, but Khyber Pass always packs their curries with proper punch!

Had a lovely meal here with some friends. Great food, attentive staff and nice atmosphere. Will definitely return!

One of my main spots to grab something to eat. awesome location, well organised, and great service. A must try!

Went in after a charity brave the shave, its a busy Saturday night, we had booked for 6 or 8 of us ended up with 12. Staff not phased at all re arranged tables and seating to get us all in. Brilliant service and attention all the time. Food was very good atmosphere 1st class. Thanks Mr Khan and all your staff , even supported the charity by passing round our collection box.

This was our first visit to Khyber Pass and we weren't disappointed. The staff are really welcoming and friendly. Nice ambiance. We ordered the non veg thali which was great as we got to enjoy 4 smaller dishes along with bread. I would highly recommend visiting. We will definitely go back again. Great local restaurant!

Could not wait to get out of the place, the seats were filthy and the smell was very unpleasant. Food poor. Would never go there again.

Always good. Great food and friendly staff. Five stars.

I keep forgetting how good the Kyber Pass is. The food is outstanding. Finely balanced spiced meals show that the chef here really knows what he is doing. The variety of meals is great too, allowing you to be adventurous or stick to firm favourites. The service is great too, friendly and taking great pride in the whole dining experience. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Hadn’t been for a while and decided to head back for a change from the curry house we normally go to which is closer to home. Glad to report that it was as good as ever and well worth the bit of effort to pop down the road. Chicken tikka dhansak was absolutely superb, and other dishes friends had were also spot on, and the usual exceptional and friendly service, will be back soon.

Decided to have a mid week Indian take away as a treat which we don’t often do. Extremely helpful & friendly assistant and delivery assistant. However it was rather tasteless . The coconut Naan was gritty also... maybe from the fire pit but not experienced that before. I’m sorry Khyber Pass - overall not a good meal I’m afraid

Cracking food and service.. might feel a little run down, but shows it's well established and been there a while! Will come again!

Had a great meal at the Khyber Pass a couple days ago. Service was great and Mr Khan and the other staff were very friendly and welcoming felt like we’d never left as they remembered us! Having been here previously with theatre groups (curry is a popular choice for after show food ) and my family coming here in the past we came again, and it was well worth the trip. The food was all hot and the drinks were great, food was quick coming out meaning it’s not long till you can tuck in! A big thank you to all at Khyber Pass for a great meal!

Best Indian restaurant in the area for many years. Consistently great food and great service as well.

Awful, bland tasteless greasy and overpriced crap.I don't think these people know what a chilli or seasoning is and wouldn't feed it to my dog. Good for people that like to eat cardboard and know nothing about flavour or quality.

Website says Sunday buffet. When we arrived they didnt have one, snd the place was deserted. Said they stopped doing it ages ago.

Best indian restaurant in the area

Yet another great meal here . They never fail to please . Best Curry House ever .

Loved it prompt service whether that be by eating in or by take out they are wonderful hosts

Absolutely fabulous food and great service 👌

We have only lived in the area for a couple of years but this place has never disappointed! Great food, great service. Highly recommend!

Visited recently while on business in the area, as I was staying in the nearby Weir hotel.

Ordered 2,dishes got the totally wrong ones, the food we had delivered was not good, we don’t know what restaurant is like but we won’t make this mistake again! Plenty more takeaways

excellent service friendly sfaff . to sit in or take away aways good choise too come back. very much recomended .
