The Khyber in North Lincolnshire

Absolutely beautiful. Called in tonight ( Tuesday 5th November) had not booked a table . Needed for 3….. was seated straight away. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant, moderately busy for a Tuesday evening. Had lamb bhuna, chicken tikka masala and a chicken shashlik … with rice, chips naan and bhajis. Service was great and the food amazing. Will be returning! Very good value for money !

Lovely place. Do not get Biryani if you are hoping for an authentic Biryani.

Great resteraunt good food exceptonal service and friendly staff,i would recommend this place .

The food was excellent. The waiter that took our order was OK, the waiter that delivered the food...... not a pleasant chap. Seating was not that comfortable, and the decor looked like the restaurant from Del Boy, where he got ripped off with the cheap ornament. Parking was a challenge. No fault of the restaurant, just one to think about. It was reasonably priced, and as I said, the food was good. You got a decent portion. Would I go again 🤔 no, there's other places to try.

Tried here because we couldn't get a table at the Curry Leaf. Well what a surprise! This place in our opinion absolutely tops the Curry Leaf ! The service as soon as we walked in to the moment we left was outstanding, friendly attentive staff. The food ! Well let's say was outstanding! The best I have tasted in a long time! I didn't actually think that the Curry leaf could be beaten, but how wrong was we. This will be our new place to go from now.🥰 Also the price was excellent for the standard of service and the excellent food. Can highly recommend 100% Thank you Khyber

Fantastic food was 5 star as was the service would highly recommend and use again

Another fab meal here. Lovely restaurant, great staff and atmosphere. And delicious food. Been many times and will be back … soon 🤩

Visited on our 48th wedding anniversary. We had the set meal which was outstanding as usual. Excellent service and spotlessly clean.

Great food, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. If you want first class Indian cuisine it's the place to go

That was the WORST curry we ever had. The food was so greasy we couldn't eat it, each having a bite from the portion. I've never seen so much oil in food ever. We were literally scooping the oil out with spoons it was inedible. It also had no other flavour other than salt. I don't know how they think it was okay to be serbed. And incredibly overpriced for what it was.

A very nice Indian restaurant. The staff are attentive without being intrusive. The food is delicious and carefully presented. We have been here a few times with my sister and her family, who are all vegans, and the menu offers a lot of choice for vegetarian and vegan customers. The staff are careful to accommodate dietary preferences. The onion bhajis are crisp and delicious. Any of the vegetable side dishes can be ordered as a main if preferred. The portions are generous. You get real linen table napkins here, which is always a sign of a great restaurant that cares about small details. The restaurant itself is nicely decorated and the loos are very clean. However, if you have difficulty managing stairs, this may not be the best restaurant for you as the loos are upstairs on the first floor, and half of the dining area is up on a mezzanine about 4 steps up from the rest of the restaurant.

Went last Saturday 20:30. Great food as always however lots of families with babies and young children. Felt more like a creche than a restaurant. Not the quiet relaxing meal for adults on an evening out that we were expecting. Will try somewhere else next time.

Staff where amazing and food was delicious and fresh

Great food, friendly staff. It was a last minute discission to call in

Went with five friends and we all had different meals. All meals absolutely excellent and cooked to perfection using very fresh ingredients. Very friendly atmosphere with staff who have perfected the art of giving you enough time without rushing or abandoning you. Would thoroughly recommend for a great night out

Collection was not ready at the agreed time, and on getting home realised that an item was missing from the order. Food was good though.

Everything about our experience at The Khyber Restaurant was first class . Attentive waiters , fabulous food and a lovely atmosphere . we will definitely be back.

Very nice food friendly staff worth the money would go again

Fantastic service, Fantastic food

Food was nice, long waits for food to arrive. It was a very long wait for the mains to arrive although they were really busy. Most of the guys in there were very pleasant apart from one rude one at the end who was giving out personal insults. I have heard great things about this place sadly ruined by those last interactions

Absolutely lovely food and great service! We will definitely be back 😀

Fantastic meal. Didn't feel rushed at all. Staff were very polite and friendly. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love it here , been many times . Never had a bad meal Or service . The staff are brilliant and excellent Valarie for money .

Best Indian in the area! Very friendly staff.

The food is very good and tasty. The waiters were so nice, ill definitely repeat.

Best Indian restaurant around,drinks normal pub prices,quick efficient service The guy who left the last review is clearly a halfwit..

Food amazing as always.... Staff very helpful....thankyou guys x Only downside was a table of verrrry loud people next to us

We went Khyber restaurant last night. My partners birthday. We got poisoned. My partner is very poorly, he had to come home early. I tried he's curry the chicken was frozen meet and very dry. I asked Manager, is the chicken fresh, he said yes he lied. I've been cooking 40 years I know when chicken is fresh. Never go there again.

Never go again food was bland tasteless and the cost of drinks is unreal service was good and that's it

I live in Scotland so always when visiting family we arrange to meet and have a meal here. My son, his girlfriend and myself went last week (2/05/23). The staff are always helpful, polite and greet us as long lost friends. The food was amazing, the portions are generous with me always needing to have some boxed up to take away with us (my son has it the next day for work, so no leftovers). I must admit we made a mess of the tablecloth hopefully they were able to get the stains out. I highly recommend The Khyber if you want a good quality meal that’s not overly expensive. Thank you very much guys, we’ll be back soon 😊

We've been a few times and it's the best Indian restaurant that we've ever been to. Such great service and amazing food.

Thoroughly enjoyable night at the Kyber, the staff are very pleasant and the food is simply delicious. Seated quickly, drinks order taken and given time to look at the menu without feeling rushed. Lots on the menu to choose from and the staff are very knowledgeable about their dishes. The restaurant was full but this did not impact on the waiting time once ordered. My husband had a lamb dish and I've never seen so much meat in one curry before with the lamb so tender, it was fantastic. I had the tandoori mixed special which was so flavoursome and divine. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to anyone, I travelled over 20 miles to get here and I would definitely go back again. Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely restaurant, well done Khyber!!

Food and staff were superb. Even though restaurant was busy we were seated fairly quickly. Food was served quickly and to a high standard. Wine was a great one. Overall an extremely pleasant evening

Nice restaurant food was good quality the tikka masala just wasn't what I was expecting, waiting staff were friendly

Lovely food, fantastic service & an all round lovely evening.

As always great food and fabulous service.

Very good food, the sizes were amazing, I had the prawn purée and it was so lovely, all the staff were really friendly and it seemed like it would be a lovely place for a meal with family or friends

Lovely restaurant, food is amazing, one of our favourites for sure

1st time here at the Khyber . A hidden gem in a rural setting. Great food and staff. Unhurried but attentive service . Licenced for alcohol. Fabulous .

After someone posting on fb that they weren’t satisfied, we went in trepidation. Well we found nothing to complain about. Staff were courteous, we were served promptly, the place clean, well kept and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. We weren’t rushed through and spent 2 1/2 hours over our meal. Not arty farty dining where it’s spot the meal on your plate, but definitely above mid range. Plenty for 2 people in the set menu. Tuesday night was a good day to choose. We will be back for my birthday.

Nice space, good food, probably a tad too loud for easy conversation but a good evening with my grandson

Overall good. Waiting time for mains was quiet long for a mid-week visit so room for improvement there.

Slow service, terrible food I think our meals were left on the side and forgotten about barely hot , very expensive, never again

Excellent food cooked to perfection Authentic Indian cuisine

Very good food and service. Recommended

After hearing such great reviews we was really looking forward to trying this place. We travelled nearly half an hour to get there in the car. From the moment we walked in we could tell there would be a time issue. We was a table of 2 and was sat in the foyer for around 10 minutes before we was taken to our booked table. 10 minutes isn't long if the restaurant was full but there was plenty of tables available. While waiting we wasn't offered a drink or spoken to once. Once we got to our table we was served drinks promptly and given menus and that was where the service ended. After 45 minutes of waiting, we still hadn't been asked our order. We then was asked if we would like another drink, we said no, eventually we was asked to give our order. I didn't make a fuss, I simply explained how long we had been waiting and said we would like to leave and go somewhere else. They asked why and after explaining they gave us the drinks on the house and said ok. I cannot comment on the food but it did smell good. On the service, I think that was what let them down, no-one explained on arrival that they were under pressure and that food would take a while. They wasn't under staffed, there was plenty of people serving drinks but none came to us to ask us or even made eye contact with us. So in my opinion, the only people that would have enjoyed the evening would have been people that was there for the night and drinking plenty and not bothered by how long they was there for. This was not a luxury we had as one was driving.

Great food in a lovely atmosphere

Excellent food and specials, friendly staff and good prices 👌

Not been in for a while. Was hungry after a few drinks. Excellent food and service.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the Doncaster area in my opinion i visit here ones a week

Great food and great atmosphere the only downside we really didn't like getting squeezed into the tables with not to much room..

Food was excellent and staff was really friendly

Gorgeous food and such nice polite staff, I’m not much of an Indian fan but after a quick chat to the server about what I would like I have to say my opinion has changed this may now be my favourite restaurant! Definitely reccomend x

Having heard and read lots of positive comments about Khyber we decided to try it for ourselves. Having recently moved to the area we are slowly finding our way round and trying different places. What a bonus to find that we have a superb Indian restaurant almost in our doorstep, The Khyber is fantastic, a lovely place with friendly and attentive staff. The fact it was so busy on a midweek night was a good sign too. A comprehensive and interesting menu gave us plenty of choice and we weren’t disappointed, the food was superb, really fresh and spiced just right. Already planning our next visit.

Excellent I asked a local which was the best Indian in Epworth, and he instantly told me Khyber. He wasn't wrong.

I rarely give 5*. But the Khyber consistently delivers good food, good portions, at an excellent price, in what is evidently a very well run restaurant. The service is impeccable. The team know what they are doing, and they do it well. And it is great fun. While I understand it isn't the model, I'd love to see some dish trials like Dishoom, JKS, Jikoni...

Asked a local, which was the best Indian restaurant local to Epworth, and he immediately without hesitation only offered one suggestion which is always a good sign [Kyber]. OMG, he wasn't wrong. After living in Bradford for several years and dining at what are considered the best Indian restaurants in that area, it's often difficult to find that level of expertise and quality and strength of ingredients outside of cities as quite rightly they appear to soften the tastes to cater for a more traditional English taste bud. Not so the case here. The focus is certainly on taste and flavours as opposed to spice and burn, and the quality and the cuts of meat were exceptional. As it was our 1st visit we opted for their 'Special' set menu for two, as I usually find that these are paired correctly, whilst still taking you on a taste safari around their kitchen. It proved a good choice on our part, and without going into detail of each dish, all were cooked to perfection, and of a size that meant empty plates and cookware were returned to the kitchen, rather than taken home in a doggy bag, with two exceptions being that the set menu includes coffees and desserts that we had no room for, and politely declined. However, as an indicator of the level of service and customer satisfaction that the restaurant offers, they asked us to choose two frozen desserts and bagged these up for us to take home. Ten out of ten in every department gentlemen. Thank you, and we look forward to returning soon and exploring the whole menu.

Delicious food and very reasonable prices. The staff are friendly and the restaurant itself is lively. The lamb dopiaza was excellent!

Absolutely amazing, food, ambience & service. The number 1, Go To, Indian Restaurant for miles around. Go once and you’ll never go elsewhere again!

Pretty decent place in the area for a good Indian. Nice friendly staff

FANTASTIC EVERY TIME. Our favourite curry house. Great service and consistent quality.

We just had a takeaway delivered, it was really nice and fresh and hot. Well done.

The best Indian around, great service, amazing food, good atmosphere,would highly recommend

Amazing service and food. Thank you.

On arrival we were shown to our table promptly and the restaurant was about 60% full. We waited about 15 minutes before our drinks order was taken and we asked for popadoms at the same time and was promptly told we do them when we take to food order even though other tables were offered popadoms at the same time as their drinks order. Drink arrived about 5 minutes later then we had to wait another 10 minutes for our food order to be taken. We asked for extra garlic in the garlic rice and was told NO as it was garlicky enough and everything was pre portioned out, what happened to customer service? While waiting for the food one of the waiters took the empty pint glass and every restaurant I’ve been to always ask if you would like another drink but not in this occasion, I gave up trying to get their attention for another drink. The wait for the food was over an hour and just as we were starting to stand up to leave and go somewhere else for food the food trolley arrived. One chicken dish arrived swimming in oil. The other dish chicken madras was bland and had no flavour only spice heat and the chicken was over cooked (mostly inedible). The garlic rice was bland as anything and hardly any garlic flavour to it. As for the prices, the drink were on par with our local Indian restaurants in London and the food was only marginally cheaper. Personally I would never go back and would rather spend more money on a curry that has flavour. If your one of the ones who really rate this restaurant I pity your taste buds as you haven’t experienced true authentic Indian food that is packed with flavour.

Reasonable fare family love dall but was not a good offering they deducted from bill which was appreciated X staff were lovely and attentive wud probably return .

Have been to The Khyber a lot of times over the years. The meals have always been of a very high quality and tasty.

Huge menu and exceptional service from staff. Would return if I was in the area. Very popular with diners and take away.

Very clean restaurant. Polite attentive staff. Some of the very best curries I have had in a long time. I was born and raised in Bradford so I know a good curry when I get one.

The best indian you can get in the Isle, but not as good as the one's in the south.

The food is pretty good. Standard Indian fare really but a few bits on the menu that are a little more exciting. Found it to be quite expensive though

One of the best chicken Baltis I have had- rich, thick and extremely tasty. Very busy, always a good sign especially in a small village like this. Portion size just right, not too big.

Amazing Indian restaurant the food is amazing and they always try to cater for allergies which is amazing. The staff are always friendly and smiling when you go in. 10/10 would recommend

Food was good. However the service wasn't brilliant. Some of the waiters were curtious but others quite abrupt. The place needs a revamp, as it's very dated.

I and a friend arrived without booking; the restaurant was busy, however they managed to sit us after a 20 minute wait. We both ordered 'Persian Biriani', chicken, with a Madras hot sauce for the main, and a couple of pompadoms each for a starter. The starter was fine with a good selection of chutneys etc. The main course was a disappointment. The rice was in my opinion, overcooked, more of a rice pudding texture than what I have experienced before. The sauce was bland, with a hot afterburn. I'd call it unbalanced. I haven't got COVID so my taste buds are fine. I was asked at the end of the meal if all was ok and I did say no and gave an explanation, but the waiter was flippant in his rebuff. So if I go again I'll avoid the biriani. I'll try Scunthorpe next time I venture out.

All Indian resturants should aspire to the Khyber. Excellent food, deep rich flavours and superb service, first class - we travelled 20miles to eat there and it never disappoints.

Top class restaurant and takeaway

Excellent service and the food is absolutely fantastic!

Great meal and fantastic service.

Outstanding food, staff polite and attentive, lovely atmosphere

Very nice take away, will fine in next time.

Cosy little Indian restaurant in the lovely village of Epworth

Food and prices are reasonable, but the place could do with a refresh especially the carpet which is thread bare in places.

Excellent local curry house serving brilliant curry dishes

Absolute best restaurant/takeout on the isle,if you've ate in this restaurant you know how amazing it is and can expect the same standards eating the take out,always the number one go to for me for food,staff and customer service 👌

Friendly people with excellent service even though I was only picking up my food, the food was excellent will definitely be eating here again

Food and service are fantastic.

Fantastic service. Yummy food. Reasonably priced. Can take a while when it's busy to get food.

Excellent service and excellent meal

The takeaway meal was really tasty....however having to wait 50 minutes over the alloted time for it was frustrating to say the least...obviously the Gov restrictions on 10 pm closure caused the problems for the staff...but they could've offered me a free drink to compensate for my long wait...

We are local & took a takeaway yesterday for the first time, really very pleased that we have found an authentic Indian Restaurant locally, we were really not expecting that the taste would be so authentic in this area & If you’re a desi or a non-desi searching for authentic indian taste, I definitely recommend this restaurant, the food has a real indian taste unlike any other so called indian restaurants. 5/5 will be going again and again. Thanks 😊

Visited last night for date night as had heard great reviews and definitely wasn’t disappointed. The food was delish and the service was great and it’s a lovely place to visit . Will be back

Staff are very friendly and the food is to die for absolutely lovely

We have had some good meals there in the past but today was not one of its best

We had a wonderful meal with all dishes being of the highest quality. The service was faultless and the atmosphere extremely comfortable. A most enjoyable evening for all of us so I have no hesitation in recommending the restaurant without reservation.

Im surpirsed ive never reviewed the Khyber as its a place we go to a lot but we went here last week for a Birthday and it was the best indian meal ive ever had.With the eat out to help out scheme it was absolutely rammed, we had to que outside even though we had booked a table. We ended up being around half an hour late but at no time did the level of service seem effected and everything was as good as it always is.We all had poppodoms as starters and the usual currys and sides for mains and I dont know what it was but last week was the nicest meal ive had there and everything was cooked to perfection.The price was a nice bonus as well with the scheme.To anyone in the area you have to try here for a curry.

The food was delicious, however Unfortunately if I can give constructive feedback the service hasn’t improved since our last visit . Staff seems to be plentiful, however asking for replenishing our drinks I find disappointed, as part of a evening out to dinner service is key!

By far the best Indian takeaway on Epworth. The food is always gorgeous and the staff are nice and friendly. Not too overly priced either for an Indian. Would definitely recommend

Our favourite Indian restaurant. Friendly staff and extensive menu

First curry post covidExcellent curry’s all round. King prawn dansak was a little hot. Kormas were spot on as was the lamb madras. Prawn biriani also went down a storm.Service was very good. Staff chatty, engaging and pleasant.Covid precautions were instantly obvious and clearly taken seriously which makes you fee comfortable you are in a safe environment. Hand sanitiser as you walk in, on every table and approaching the toilets. Staff were all masked up.I would be pleased to recommend to all. Well done, thanks, great meal at an expected price. I guessed the total cost within a few pounds and was typical of a curry house.
