We had a wonderful experience at Dera Restaurant! The biryani was absolutely delicious-full of authentic flavor & perfectly cooked. A special thank you to the pani puri stall outside the restaurant. The pani puri was fresh, tasty, & a perfect addition to our meal. Friendly service, great atmosphere, & amazing food. Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be back! 😊🍛🥣

Had halwa puri nashta with my whole family today. The food was amazing & so fresh. Really enjoyed the portion size & the flavours. Not only, but the staff was very friendly & nice, especially the one who was wearing a black cap. Very nice & clean atmosphere, as travellers, we really enjoyed.

They refused to serve the halwa with halwa puri while offering the same to other customers at the same time. Totally unfai

They refused to serve halwa puri while giving it to other customers at the same time. We tried to give them a second chance even after my friend found steel sponge thread in the food, very poor & disgusting customer service!

Quality & taste of food has went down over the years, not sure if the owner or chefs changed. But notice there are serious lack in quality for my last 3 visits. & everytime, i tell myself. Maybe it's just this time. Now it's confirmed, this location isn't being run properly by the kitchen staff. Will not be going back for sure.

- Chicken Tikka Masala : Ok 👍
- Beef Haleem : Good 👍
- Butter chicken : Seemed old, stale & reheated from yesterday or before...
- Chicken byriani : Old, stale, dry, tasteless & reheated from yesterday or before...
- Pani Puri: Water & spice mix, completely off, something is seriously wrong here.

Very disappointed...

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.

Upgrading my rating:

Second & third experience (5 stars): I visited for breakfast. Halwa puri was perfect! My family enjoyed the food & service. We appreciate the experience.

I am glad that I gave them a second chance. I will be visiting for the breakfast here often.

First experience (1 star): I visited late night. Despite a decent interior, the dining experience fell short with below-average food.

The chicken kabuli pulao lacked freshness, & cold when served. The butter chicken had a stale odor. The naan, though okay, couldn't redeem the overall disappointment.

Additionally, it's worth noting that almost all of glass cutleries on our table had broken corners.

The consensus among workers (cleaning the floor around us) was a bit gloomy, except for one lady who seemed cheerful & kind to my kids.

The best Paya in montreal. Authentic lahori flavour.
Halwa puri is also quite tasty.
