Went here on a Thursday night and really enjoyed myself. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh tasting. The service was quick and hospitable. I will definitely come back. I have the rice with a cherry sauce. It was so so good.

I recently visited Khyber Pass Zarparan Restaurant in San Diego and I must say, it was a delightful experience. The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The decor is simple yet elegant, with traditional Afghan touches that add to the overall charm.

Their aush soup is the best soup ever! The aushak (leek filled dumplings) is also superb. The vegetarian platter is as tasty as it is pretty. We’re not vegetarians, but we become vegetarians at Khyber Pass.

This was our first time here as we were visiting San Diego from Bay Area. We ordered Bolani, combo Bar B Q and chicken curry. The food was fresh and serving was great.

Absolutely delicious Afghan food. It’s great to see a restaurant like this in Hillcrest. We got the chicken Qabuli Palao, which was really flavorful and full of spices, and the vegetarian platter to try the different side dishes. I wish the veggie platter had the okra because I really wanted to try that too. Overall, plenty of food for two with those two dishes. We had enough to take home with us. Kind servers making sure we had everything we need and quick to getting food out on our table. Additionally the ambiance of the restaurant is fantastic and places you in perfect environment to enjoy the food.

First the neighbor that the resturant is in, is really nice. It’s in the hill crest area which is a very lively neighborhood and it’s filled with restaurants, bars and others.
