Unfortunately, our experience was very bad. We ordered plater & the quality was poor, & when it was replaced after a complaint, it seemed to contain the same meat. Upon raising the concern again, the staff hesitated to address it properly after that they only adjusted the bill for that kebab. So Not recommended at all🥵🥵

Some of the dishes in Dera restaurant are good.
They need to improve the quality of the food & service. One of the server is rude makes you feel she is gonna punch you in the face.
Mix bbq isn't bad but I find to be expensive at 45$
Rus malai feels like plastic

The iftar buffet food was extremely spicy! Most of the curries tasted the same (same base). Dessert was good but that's it. & not much variety. They really need to up their game. I've been going there for 15 years & the quality keeps declining.

We went for the Iftar dinner buffet, & it was an amazing experience. The menu had a great variety, with fresh, flavorful meat. The highlights were the juicy chicken kebabs & the rich, creamy sheer kurma. Their biryani, paired with the delicious chicken korma, was also a standout. For $25 plus tax, the quantity & quality made it absolutely worth it. A great spot for a satisfying Iftar meal!
