Dera

This place is amazing. We had a group of 15 come into the restaurant and eat. We ordered a variety of dishes, such as the mixed grill, chicken biriyani, butter chicken, lamb Karahi, chill paneer, kebab rolls and Nihari. Every single item on the menu that we ordered was amazing, full of flavour and fresh quality. The service was amazing and they were very attentive. Everyone loved the food, we will definitely be coming again.

We have been coming for a while now and each an every time the food has been amazing; authentic, tasty, prompt … every experience is amazing. Staff are incredibly polite and helpful; making sure the food is tweaked to your taste. We always go for medium. Their daal and Charsi gosht is to die for! Seekh kebab, juicy and flavoursome. Perhaps one of the best Pakistani restaurants for miles. Prices are most reasonable and portions are generous. Soo understated restaurant..yet packs a punch!

So I’m originally from the states and passed by this restaurant many times. Back in NY Dera is big and wanted to give this place a chance so we initially started getting the Nihari as a takeaway. We were not disappointed. So far they have the best Nihari I’ve tasted here and for the price it is a great portion. Even my in-laws enjoyed it. My mother in law often asks us to get her some when she feels like having some authentic Nihari. Yesterday I wanted to try and sit in the restaurant and have a go. My kids ordered a NY burger, a muchacho burger and the little one ordered chicken strips. My husband and I ordered chicken biryani, and butter chicken. Ok first. For chicken biryani that was fantastic. For my husbands sake I ordered mild but next time I’ll order the regular spice or spicer because it was delicious and had a lot of chicken in it. For the butter chicken- see in NY- I’ve had some great butter chicken. Like at my own wedding lol. And Dera had good butter chicken. I’ve read some earlier reviews but the thing is Dera makes really authentic recipes from what I can see. Like that’s pure butter and ghee. My recommendation is to order it a bit more spicy to cut the richness of the butter. But it was still yummy. Again butter chicken is not meant to be eaten if you are watching your weight lol. The staff also were lovely to give us some kheer at the end which was so good. It reminded me of my moms! The burgers were fantastic. My kids want to come and try the others as well. Thank you guys! Will def be coming in again!

Authentic Pakistani food. 😋 we visited with kids and the restaurant staff is super friendly. Few points that stood out for us: 1) taste - it was simply delicious. Must come if you are looking for yummy, hearty breakfast options. Pakistani karak chai is must to have. 2) cleanliness - the restaurant looked proper clean and looked well in open plan kitchen 3) kids friendly - they have baby chairs to provide and good space to move around
