Named for the Himalayan mountain pass between Afghanistan and northwestern India, Khyber and its three floor are done up in a modern versions of North-West Frontier style—white-marble floors, terra-cotta urns, carved stone pillars, low wooden rafters, and handsome fresco murals by Anjolie Ela Menon and M. F. Husain. The waiters, dressed in Pathan (North-West Frontier) garb, serve delicious and rich kebabs and naans. To see why this is one of Bombay's best restaurants, try the the pomfret green masala (fried pomfret fish stuffed with tangy green chutney), Khyber raan (leg of lamb marinated overnight, then roasted in a clay oven), egg biryani, black dal (lentils) or paneer shaslik marinated with spices and roasted).
