We have been coming to Khyber grill for 20+ years, even tho it's now a 45 minute drive for us. We have tried restaurants closer to us, but none of them come close. The food is consistently great, the lunchbuffet offers a really nice variety and the place is super clean. You can see right into the kitchen from the seating area. Service is attentive and while some may think it's a bit pricy, i is so much better than other restaurants, we still feel it is well worth the price.

Saag paneer - 10/10 Butter chicken - 9.5/10 Chicken tikka - 9/10 Mixed grille - 9/10 Chicken biryani - 8.5/10 Lamb curry - 8/10 Daal makhni - 8/10 Peshawari naan - 10/10 Naan - 10/10 Kheer - 9/10 Actually surprised ive never been here before This has become my next favorite desi restaurant after Agas. My favorite items were the saag paneer and butter chicken. Their naan was some of the fluffiest naan ive ever tried. One of my favorite things was that the food wasnt oily like most desi food and the quality was . The ambiance and service is also amazing. They offer lunch buffets (buffet items are less spicy ) as well as an a la carte menu (more spicier items if requested). Definitely recommend checking them out!

Khyber has always been a favorite place to dine for me! Their delicious food, stellar service & relaxed atmosphere attribute to its success! Additionally, the owners are genuine and kind and check on each table of guests to make sure everything is fine. I highly recommend Khyber!!!

Service is great. They're always very friendly and fast. The ambiance is a nice vibe, especially at night when the candles are lit. Good date spot. The food is excellent, although the saag paneer is not as creamy as I'm used too. But the meats are flavorful and grilled well. The chicken is tender. The prawns are cool too. The masla is rich in tomato flavor. It tastes fresh. The punch buffet is a good deal but I appreciate the dinner menu. Overall, I'd come back. I've been here a few times and if in the area, it's a good choice.

I am pretty picky when it comes to biryani bc I don't generally care for that entree in most places. I never had it here before even once and decided to try it one night. The Chicken Biryani I requested at medium-plus spicy was delicious, soft, a tad crispy from the crunchy almond shavings and a tad sweet from the green/white raisins. Savory, a bit spicy and a little sweet all in one balanced blend. The chicken was very well-prepared with good flavor and very noticeable tenderness. I always enjoy a cool, refreshing cucumber & tomato salad with hot meals in certain places, which they give on the side. The service was great and friendly from my server. My favorite dishes of all at Khyber Grill are still the Butter Chicken and Chicken Saag and for the sweets the Gulab Jamun and Mango Lassi.

Service was fantastic here, our waiter was extremely helpful and friendly in picking out an appropriate spice level and questions about the menu. Atmosphere was nice, an open kitchen meant some nice background noise. The food was decent, but maybe not the best I've had. It's like it's just missing something to make the dishes really stand out. We had the samosas which were fine, but not as well spiced as I prefer. The chicken tikka masala was fine too but again, I think just ever so slightly underspiced. The lamb vindaloo was good though, I thought that was the best dish of the ones we tried. Hot is a good spice level if you enjoy spicy food. It's not burn your tongue off but there's a nice heat that builds as you eat more.

Solid option for AYCE Indian lunch buffet in the area for $25! Im always a fan of their saag paneer, chicken tiki masala, and rice pudding for dessert. This place also has great papadams (sort of like giant chips) that you can grab the green and red sauces for dipping. This place is also really good about bringing you fresh, pipping hot naan. So if you are running low, or even if you aren't they will come by and say hi. Ive been coming here for years, and service and quality have been pretty consistent. Why not 5 stars? The place is a great fix anytime Im feeling the saag and tiki masala munchies.. I wish their buffet was slightly bigger, so there is some upward room for improvement.. On a humorous note, this place always has great humor on the marquee sign outside. They used to parody the Pappadeaux next door (which is unfortunately now closed).

First time visiting per recommendation of a friend. I always see their signs and really enjoy them so this place had been on my list to visit. They bring out a complimentary bread for the table. I missed the name of it but I believe it was papadum with chutneys. It was very good. The service was great and they are so friendly! I was just going to get something small as I had already ate so I just went with my vegetarian favorites of Aloo gobi and saag paneer. The aloo gobi was good not the best I've had but it hit the spot. The Saag Paneer though!!! It was the best I've ever had. And it was such a good portion so I took home a bunch! I can't wait to come back for an big meal!

We were working in the Kirby area and decided to have lunch. Wow!! What a wonderful surprise. The food here is amazing!! I had beef kofta, pullao rice, cucumber-tomato salad, tandoori chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, lamb stew, saag paneer!! Then dessert gulab jamun and kheer was amazing. I've eaten at other Indian restaurants but this one was outstanding very different from the rest in Houston. All of the meats served were moist and not dry or overcooked!! The service provided was incredible and given with such care, my server Hafiz was extremely funny and charming too. Located in the Kirby area it's a must go to restaurant!! The atmosphere was very traditional and beautiful as well!! I will definitely come drive here from my home to eat here again!!
