On arrival we were shown to our table promptly and the restaurant was about 60% full.We waited about 15 minutes before our drinks order was taken and we asked for popadoms at the same time and was promptly told we do them when we take to food order even though other tables were offered popadoms at the same time as their drinks order.Drink arrived about 5 minutes later then we had to wait another 10 minutes for our food order to be taken. We asked for extra garlic in the garlic rice and was told NO as it was garlicky enough and everything was pre portioned out, what happened to customer service? While waiting for the food one of the waiters took the empty pint glass and every restaurant I’ve been to always ask if you would like another drink but not in this occasion, I gave up trying to get their attention for another drink. The wait for the food was over an hour and just as we were starting to stand up to leave and go somewhere else for food the food trolley arrived. One chicken dish arrived swimming in oil. The other dish chicken madras was bland and had no flavour only spice heat and the chicken was over cooked (mostly inedible). The garlic rice was bland as anything and hardly any garlic flavour to it. As for the prices, the drink were on par with our local Indian restaurants in London and the food was only marginally cheaper. Personally I would never go back and would rather spend more money on a curry that has flavour.If your one of the ones who really rate this restaurant I pity your taste buds as you haven’t experienced true authentic Indian food that is packed with flavour.

Have been to The Khyber a lot of times over the years. The meals have always been of a very high quality and tasty.

·

Very clean restaurant. Polite attentive staff. Some of the very best curries I have had in a long time. I was born and raised in Bradford so I know a good curry when I get one.

·

One of the best chicken Baltis I have had- rich, thick and extremely tasty. Very busy, always a good sign especially in a small village like this. Portion size just right, not too big.

·

The food is pretty good. Standard Indian fare really but a few bits on the menu that are a little more exciting. Found it to be quite expensive though

·

Food was good. However the service wasn't brilliant. Some of the waiters were curtious but others quite abrupt. The place needs a revamp, as it's very dated.

·

Amazing Indian restaurant the food is amazing and they always try to cater for allergies which is amazing. The staff are always friendly and smiling when you go in. 10/10 would recommend

I and a friend arrived without booking; the restaurant was busy, however they managed to sit us after a 20 minute wait. We both ordered 'Persian Biriani', chicken, with a Madras hot sauce for the main, and a couple of pompadoms each for a starter. The starter was fine with a good selection of chutneys etc. The main course was a disappointment. The rice was in my opinion, overcooked, more of a rice pudding texture than what I have experienced before. The sauce was bland, with a hot afterburn. I'd call it unbalanced. I haven't got COVID so my taste buds are fine. I was asked at the end of the meal if all was ok and I did say no and gave an explanation, but the waiter was flippant in his rebuff. So if I go again I'll avoid the biriani. I'll try Scunthorpe next time I venture out.
