Great Pakistani food & best samosas in Mtl but sauce is an extra charge. I was lucky to get the freshest jalebis in town, doesn't happen every day in MTL.

Food was stone cold . Biryani was tasteless. Korma was not even korma. I won't be recommending this place to anyone in the near future. This must be the worst Pakistani restaurant ever , what an embarrassment for Pakistani food standards

We had a wonderful family dinner at Dera Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, & truly authentic. The haleem & chicken tikka were outstanding, & the staff made us feel very welcome. 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!

I heard the news that this restaurant is serving Halwa Puri. In my excitement I go check it out on a Sunday. Unfortunately, it did not start well.

1st whatever they have playing on their sound system is so depressing & LOUD it ruins any good mood & causes a headache!

2nd Halwa Puri in taste was below average. You would think a Pakistani restaurant known for its originality would have made the Channa with some spices but no. It was bland. Halwa itself had no flavour no sweetness or taste of desi ghee. The only good thing was the freshness of puri.

3rd I know ordering Halwa Puri is not the biggest order but the server looked annoyed by me dinning in for it. I still left $10 tip on a $20 bill. Because I know server/hostess work very hard.

I do not recommend wasting your trip. I hope the team at the restaurant takes this feedback with a grain of salt. I know you work hard but for Halwa Puri & ambiance you didn't deliver.

A very good Pakistani restaurant with Pakistani Indian & Bangladeshi foods. Taste is not accurately authentic but it's good. It's Halal
