Khyber Pass my favorite Indian restaurant in Chicago, and the only Zagat rated one I am aware of. In my experience, the staff warms up if you visit there often - they are extremely proper and polite people, who are tremendously considerate. I think the maitre d' looks like Sinbad The Sailor?s older brother, don't you? Sinbad is a swarthy and handsome man.
Now, about the food.
If you cannot decide what to order, have the buffet - all of the right paneers are present and accounted for, along with the curry dishes, saucy sauces and great soups. Tandoori chicken with lemon wedges and onions are brought to every table, for whoever orders the buffet (and so are warm papadums). The Saag Paneer is perfect - the right amount of spicy and smooth. The samosas are always great but I favor their vegetable fritters because the crunch is perfect, never soggy or overcooked. Good chutney - you'll like it. Personally, I would walk on broken glass for their Rogaan Josh (lamb curry). If you don't order the buffet, and pick from the menu, you will love yourself for being so clever. Have the fish curry from the menu - it?s a light filet on the mild side, with a hint of sweetness. The assorted breadbasket is nice, too. Plenty to share and that's the point - it's about sharing at Khyber Pass. I never visit in a party of less than three. We linger over Kingfishers, watch the belly dancers (kids love that part) and then make room for the mango ice cream and rice pudding.
Khyber Pass is inexpensive. The decor is better than most. Cliched, a little? You bet. Is there something wrong with that? Smile, eat up, and enjoy yourself once in a while!
Pros: Lots and lots of great food, and quick service.
Cons: I smell like curry when I leave.
