Khyber Pass - Elmbridge

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.

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.

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

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
