A landmark Kala Ghoda restaurant since 1978, known for North West Frontier cuisine and murals by Indian artists lining its brick walls.
Khyber has been a fixture on M.G. Road since 1978, occupying a cave-like brick interior decorated with artwork by well-known Indian painters, including works associated with M.F. Husain.
