Good place for non-veg eaters in fort, Mumbai. A bit costly though. The butter chicken and rumaali roti is to die for

A chill place in Mumbai, it looks vintage style restaurant. Keep yourself altering marble floor and step, one of group members fall down there.
Asked them to reduce ac but it was still very cold

The foood was delicious and the Ambience was toooo good! For a moment we felt that we were not in Mumbai. Had a wonderful time.

Dal shorba, malai paneer korma white gravy & tandoori rotis excellent in taste, polite service, to get the historical feeling one needs to get absorbed in the ambience.

There is a mughal ambience to the place, dim lit. It is popular for corporate get together, offers drinks. But not too many good options.

Service quality is okay, food quality is mediocre. Quite accessible for people around fort area. Seating arrangements are good. Indian Desserts are not up to the mark.

Nice place good old decor. Food is awesome specially the veg food. But nonveg has disappointment here.

Great but expensive and upscale restaurant for typical Mumbai North Indian Cuisine, too bad they don’t serve Rogan Josh. But their Paya (Trotters) Soup is one of the best!

Nice rustic decor. Spacious & well set with mirrors enhancing the appearance. Good trained staff. We found the food to be pretty ordinary. In fact the rawas Tikka was stale, smelly. Chicken calimiri was less than ordinary. The Rose wine was excellent & dal makhani was good. A let down, contrary to the popular reviews. Hope this was the exception to the norm.

Nice decore and ambiance and the for was good. The chicken Tika was recommended and did not disappoint.

Restaurant with excellent interiors to have veg or non-veg food. Interiors are excellent and food quality is good. The cost of food is very high. It start from ₹700/- onwards for any paneer veg sabji with quantity sufficient hardly for 2 persons. Few beverages are served here. You may find renoknowned industrialists in this restaurant, if u r very lucky.

Probably one of the oldest premium dining individual restaurant in Mumbai! My father loved this restaurant back then in his days & was a frequent visitor. I was longing to visit this restaurant because he genuinely liked this a lot. Finally got to visit it lately & was genuinely awestruck! The class, professionalism & service that they provide is nothing but worth it. The place is huge with wonderful heritage ambience. Coming to food, the best part of the place. They maintain a distinct flavour in each of their dish. The flavours are mild & evident, suitable for all taste buds. What we had:
-Tomato Rasam: the soup was a pure delight. Spices at the right level, too delicious.
-Vegetarian Platter: it consists of 5 spread; Paneer, Mushroom, Aloo, Broccoli & one tikki. We removed the mushrooms from the platter. Each dish was flavoured differently making it a great option. Definitely a treat to the palate.
-Palak Lasooni: they retained the taste of Palak by not modifying it too much with other ingredients. The garlic taste wasn’t too overpowering either. Totally loved how they managed to serve such a delicacy!
-5 grain & Kasta Rotis: the 5 grain is their specialty with an amazing taste. Kasta on the other hand has ajwain & milk in the dough making its soft & crispy at the same time.

We ended our meal with kulfi & rabdi. Both were simply heavenly. So good that you wouldn’t want to stop.

Overall, I’m impressed by their skill to retain the best of ingredients in each dish. No doubt they are a heritage in itself. Loved it & look forward to visiting again.

Do we recommend: Definitely
Will we visit again: Definitely

Very bad food. Don’t come ever. We cancelled our order after seeing their food quality of tandoori platter & soups.

An amazing restaurant in the heart of Mumbai CBD. The decor, the food and the staff are first class! A must go.

This restaurant was always on my bucket list, I wanted to visit this from a long period of time and finally we made it. Just loved the ambiance of the place rustic, warm, exuberant and royal. The best part of the place is that it has retained its heritage look and feel and takes you back to the old days.   

What I love about this restaurant is that they have not tried and done something fancy or some fusion, simple authentic and lip smacking North Indian / Mughalai cuisine and great service. Ingredients of a perfect dining experience with your bae, family or friends.

Had heard about a lot from the chef's recommendation menu, so wanted to try some from that and some of my personal favorites. Talking about what all I tried at the restaurant -

Started with Crispy Masala Roomali - Paper thin, even spread with chaat masala, onions, green chillies. No tomatoes on this, because of which it stayed crisp for a reasonable amount of time. Nice way to begin the meal. Next tried the Baby Samosas - with potato stuffing and peas, served along with ketchup and mint chutney.

Next, I was really excited to try the Veg Kebab Platter which had a mix of - Panner Tikka, Mushroom Kebab, Baby Corn Pakoras, Veg Chilli Kebab and Tandoori Aloo. Personal favorite amongst these would be Paneer Tikka and Corn Pakoras (a little sweet). But above all the best starter to be tried at Khyber is Makai Ki Tikki - corn patties with cumin seed filling. Simply awesome!

From the mains, we ordered Maa Ki Daal, Malai Kofta and Whole Wheat Roomali Roti. We were told Malai Kofta shall be on the sweeter side, which was fine, but felt Kofta needed a bit more work and attention in terms of taste. Maa Ki Daal was average to good, have had better Daal elsewhere and Roti should have had a bit more of butter, since I could taste a lot more of flour. Perhaps would have been better to go for the regular Roomali instead.

Finally for dessert, was curious to try the Paan Kulfi, my favorite. Kulfi was good, something which definitely can be tried along with Gulab Jamun Tart their specialty. In all in a great experience, the mains were a tad disappointing but I would still give it full marks for the simple reason that I was overwhelmed with the entire experience at Khyber. A must visit in case you are in this part of the town and be a part of this royal journey!

Upmarket, exclusive restaurant with a rustic ambience and great service. The choice of dishes is great and is as expected.

"Indian cuisine at it's best" is how I will describe this magnificent restaurant. I will place Khyber alongside Karims of Delhi (amongst the standalone restaurants). The food is top class, the ambience is warm and just perfect. The service is great. But ofcourse the standout is the culinary brilliance. Every item is lipsmackingly good including starters and main course, both, non veg as well as veg. One element that is common in Karims and Khyber is that the cooking is not to heavy and does not make one feel bloated. My only disappointment, "why did I not patronize this restaurant earlier".

Classic Royal look with authentic Indian food.
Situated in Fort, Kala Ghoda.
Paintings, Jharokhas, fountains. Awesome
Sparkling Marble with finest artifects in stones.
Finger licking taste.

Want to dine where the Royals do then head straight to Khyber: The original fine dine for traditional food in sobo
With a guest list boasting of the royal family of Kuwait to the king of khans (Aamir Khan) this place is surely gonna transport you to the rugged mountains of Khyber with it's authentic taste

Khyber was our Dinner location for our German client after an evening of sightseeing in SoBo.

While the ambience was a highlight, the food wasn't a dissapointment either.

Our Order:

- Elaichi Hara Mutton
- Kadai Chicken
- Toor Dal
- Tandoori Roti
- Heineken, KF, KF Ultra

VFM: At 5250 for 4 (with alcohol), Khyber comes at a cost - but worth an experience in this side of the town, specifically with foreign delegates in tow wanting to experience Indian cuisine

Very bad experience. Today's dinner was ruined. Chicken tikka was hard cold half burnt. Veg tikka was half cooked. Lousy chicken makhanwalla. Even butter roti was tough to eat. Kulcha was without salt or masala.
Will never go there. Standard has gone down.

Front door looks like from the age of Mughals having Urdu words written on them.this gives a unique look

Remarkably consistent quality over the decades. The ambience has changed and become brighter now. Menu seems to be tweaked and improved upon. Less heavy on the belly as compared to a decade ago. Truly a fine dining experience.

Khyber's exterior itself is akin to entrance to a magical cave. It is a place with constant hustle and bustle, the ambiance is magical, rooted, rustic, ancient and timeless - all at the same time. The staff is very efficient, warm, helpful and attentive. Water refilled on time, food served promptly, feedback taken seriously and the smile on their faces intact from beginning to end.

Was here with family and between the 4 of us, we ordered Reshmi Broccoli, Paneer Khorma, Mix Veg Curry, Roomali Roti, Garlic Naan and Tandoori Roti. Every dish was very good, perfectly balanced in terms of spices, flavors and nothing overpowered nothing else. The Paneer Khorma was a very different dish. I expected it to be made in a typical white cashewnut gravy that almost every restaurant uses. But here, they made in a very unique way. Full of raw pan fried paneer and milky flavor (difficult to describe!), it might not suit everyone's palate but I sure loved it:) Mix Veg Curry had a little creamy touch to it which again was brilliant, quite different to the usual mix veg in other restaurants.

This place has been around for more than 5 decades, even before I was born, and it has stood the test of time with the quality of its food, service and with consistently reinventing interiors. It is an established name in fine dining and an institution. Must visit restaurant for North Western style of Indian cuisine.

Excellent food. Super service. And my go to place for North Indian Food! Definitely try the Raan in their starters menu and the Mutton ra ra in the main course!

Superb place! What an ambience. Love the delectable food and exotic aura of the place. The Arabian style interiors, the original paintings on the walls and the carved Urdu poetries transform you to a totally different world. If you’re a true foodie you should be visiting here for sure

Decorations is really historical, butter chicken is different from other places. It is a little bit salty and species rather than sweet. Reservation is suggest, so you do not need to wait.

Chicken biryani was anything but chicken biryani. Really saddened that a restaurant like khyber serves bad biryani. Ordered sweet lime soda which was bitter.
Bad experience.
