text: Mediterranean cuisine is one of my favorites so I was really looking forward to a great meal from Khyber Halal I really wanted to like this place based on all my fellow Yelpers reviews but in my opinion it just was not up to snuff nnI checked them out on a Friday night after work looking to grab a few items to go After entering the holeinthewall location which I love by the way I was greeted from behind the counter by an older gentlemen and a few teenagers You could tell this was truly a family run operationnnAfter perusing the menu for a bit I asked for a few recommendations I am a pretty adventurous eater so I told them to throw the best of the bunch at me He suggested the Uzbak Pulao which was grilled lamb on top of a rice mixture carrots currants and bits of meatI am assuming it was lamb or goat My husband ordered the Chicken Handi which was grilled chicken with a spicy rub over rice nothing fancy here We also ordered Naan and a side of hummusnnWe got home and dove into our meals which by the way was enough to feed a family of four if not six My lamb was chewy I ordered it medium rare with very little flavor and the rice mixture was bland and oily probably from all the meat The Naan had no flavor at all either and after a certain point I felt like I was eating a chewy piece of cardboard By far the worst of the bunch was the hummus It was literally mashed up chickpeas with no additional ingredients tahini anyone Maybe a little lemon juice It was bland as can be To be fair my husband enjoyed his chicken but it does not take a lot to please his palate I also tried his rice and it was nothing special nnWhile this place is a killer value and and a sweet family run establishment we sadly will not be returning
