Review Summary

Dera Restaurant is widely recognized as a go-to destination in Montreal for authentic Pakistani cuisine, with many patrons praising the freshness and flavor of staples like nihari, paya, haleem, and freshly baked naan. While numerous diners appreciate the friendly staff, reasonable pricing, and generous portion sizes, experiences regarding service speed and consistency vary significantly. Some visitors find the atmosphere welcoming for family gatherings and events, though others have raised concerns regarding cleanliness, uniform standards, and occasional lapses in food quality or service attentiveness. Despite mixed reviews on the dining environment and consistency, the restaurant remains a popular choice for those seeking traditional flavors and late-night dining options.

ok so the service can be a total drag.. the biryani & naan are packed with authentic taste, but our food took forever to come out cause the kitchen was completely overwhelmed.. its a decent spot if u have time to kill, but they definitely need to speed things up

Bought Samosas for Iftar on Youm-e-Arafat. They are the one of the best in the town. 5/5

Un désastre.Restaurant to avoid.
Le lassi yogourt salé était imbuvable: la salière avait été échappée dedans. La soupe dahl, lentilles rouges, était goûteuses. Le korma d'agneau & le poulet karahi très épicés avaient beaucoup d'os & la sauce épaisse était sûrement réchauffée plusieurs fois.
Les crevettes tandoori n'étaient pas disponibles. La nappe blanche tâchée.
Le personnel ne comprends pas le français, même le mot riz lui est inconnu.

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

It was sooo bad… We spent years eating here in Parc-Ex with family however when they opened up in laval, it was quite horrible. It seemed the food was pre-cooked from a few days ago & simply warmed up for us. Rice was dry, meat was over cooked & stale. So disappointing! There are a bunch of tasty rentos in Jean Talon to try over this one. DO NOT recommend.

I ordered four chicken biryanis yesterday. I've always enjoyed your food, which is why this experience was disappointing. This is the first time I've received takeaway biryani that had an unpleasant smell even before opening it, & the rice itself seemed off.
I believe it's important to consistently serve fresh food & maintain the quality your customers expect. I'm not seeking a refund-I'm sharing this feedback because I value your reputation & hope you continue to prioritize freshness & customer satisfaction.
I've already left a message with the receptionist & hope this reaches the owne
