A family operated establishment, Khyber Pass translates the cuisine of the owners' native Afghanistan to trendy Hillcrest. What exactly is Afghani food? It's sort of a cross between Indian and Greek, and you'll find familiar elements of both on the menu. The appetizer sampler, a platter laden with tabulee (parlsey-bulgar-lemon salad), hummos, sambosa (similar to Indian samosas), borta (eggplant-yogurt dip) and nan bread. Main dish standouts includes Lamb Dal Chalow (slow-cooked lamb with lentils, ginger, garlic and cilantro), chicken curry, kabobs, tandoori shrimp, and Sabzi Paneer (spicy spinach with fresh cheese).
