Whenever I miss my loved ones & crave that authentic desi taste, Dera is the place I turn to. I've tried food from many Indian, Pakistani, & Bangladeshi restaurants, but nothing comes close to the quality & hygiene they maintain here.

It's not just about taste - it's about the feeling of comfort their food brings. You can truly sense the high-quality ingredients in every bite.What also impressed me is their staff - many have been working there for a long time, which is rare in this industry. It shows how well the place is managed & how much people enjoy working there.

My all-time favorites: Nihari, Biryani, & Naan. Highly recommended for anyone looking for real desi flavors.

Murtaza is the most handsome owner & kind. If you need special spices touch go see him. The atmosphere is perfect for family gatherings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Pakistani cuisine in Montreal!

Had a fantastic experience at Dera Restaurant! The food was absolutely fabulous. I had the Chicken Tikka, which was cooked to perfection-tender, juicy, & full of flavour. The Lamb Chops were equally impressive, & the Bhuna Gosht was rich & delicious. We finished off with Ras Malai, which was light, creamy, & satisfying. Finally, the Kashmiri Tea just made our day-aromatic, warm, & the perfect end to a great meal. Special shout-out to the manager, Ali Murtaza Shah a fab guy who made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was average, but the food & service more than made up for it. Highly recommend for authentic, well-prepared desi cuisine!
