Food is so so. Staff need more training on providing services. I feel like they're too much in a hurry to make people finish their food & leave. Me & my family had dinner there & in a span of 1 hour they came 4-5 times to check if everything was ok or do we need anything,,,it's too much interruption. Also when you order, they will bring the appetizer & main course all at once, & won't give you enough time to finish your meal in peace. Not professional.

Extremely unhygienic. The tablecloths were stained. The glass pieces placed on the tables had old food particles under them. While we waited for our food, a client came in with 2 kids & waited for takeout. She put her sunglasses on the plates, her kids were touching the dinner plates with their bare hands after touching the floors. & the staff working there didn't even clean the plates afterwards or switch them out, maybe explains the dust on our plates when we wiped them with some wet tissue. Just go to other Indian restaurants. Food other than the dessert was below-par. Oh BTW I found very dried cilantro stem stuck to the bottom of my dessert spoon so that was great.
Too bad, Dera used to be good once.

Nice airy, clean place.
Service staff is wonderful. We had a lady in a black baseball cap help us (didn’t get her name) but she was lovely.
However food was a let down. Maybe it was the type of things we ordered. We had a long trip back to Ontario right after lunch so we didn’t want to eat anything overly spicy or oily. So we ordered the mixed grill platter, naans, daal makhani, beef biriyani, mango shakes. Everything was very average. Not the big pop of flavours I expected having read reviews.

Prices are fair & there is parking at the back which is a huge plus point in Montreal. There’s parking around the Barclay School as well.

Overall, I’d give it a 2 star but giving an extra star for service & parking.
