Indian Restaurants in Belfast: The Khayber History and Cuisine

Known as one of the finest servers of Indian cuisine in Belfast, Northern Ireland, the Khayber Restaurants has been happily dishing up exquisite fare for lovers of Indian food since 1995 and people are raving about it.

The history of the Khayber Restaurants makes it unique from all other Indian restaurants in Belfast, elsewhere in Northern Ireland and beyond. This rapidly growing chain of Indian restaurants got its name from the historic mountain trade route that went between Central Asia and South Asia, known as the Khyber Pass.

The restaurant’s name purposefully uses the alternate spelling, Khayber, because that is how it is pronounced in the dialect of the region. This region is also the birthplace of the Khayber Restaurant’s founder Mr. Khan.

Mr. Khan is also renowned for opening one of the first and most popular Indian restaurants within the Belfast area: The Mogul, located on Great Victoria Street in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Of all the Indian restaurants in Belfast, the Khayber Restaurant’s menu is probably the most diverse with a very varying selection of cuisine from across India, while strongly influenced by North Indian cooking. Their influence is especially strong from the Punjab region.

Every dish, exquisitely prepared with subtle combinations of herbs and spices, is prepared by their award winning-chefs, some of the best chefs for an Indian restaurant in Belfast.

The Khayber Restaurant house specialties include dishes such as Khayber Special Korma, which is a modern style korma flavored with the customer’s choice of liquor. Another is the Khayber Supreme Masala – succulent lamb and chicken with a rich and creamy sauce.

Of the Indian restaurants in Belfast, the Khayber Restaurant offers the very best Tandoori, Tikka, Balti and Biryani dishes. These dishes are all served with the customer’s choice of lamb, chicken, prawn or a vegetable.  Their Indian cuisine is reknown throughout Northern Ireland.

The Khayber Restaurant has a vast menu so you can try something new every time you come to dinner, instead of ordering the same thing every time like you might at some other Indian restaurants in Belfast. This menu will keep you coming back so you can try everything on it.

Ranked among the Belfast Telegraph’s Top Ten Restaurants, the Khayber Restaurant consistently receives outstanding reviews from both critics of Indian restaurants in Belfast, critics of all restaurants, and the general public which it serves so well.
