Review Summary

Dera Restaurant is praised for authentic Pakistani and Indian flavors with fresh naan, flavorful curries and standout dishes such as paya, haleem, nihari, biryani and tandoor items, while the service is described as friendly and the family friendly atmosphere and good value for money for both dining in and catering. Reviewers frequently note generous portions and spices that appeal to desi cuisine lovers, and many say the restaurant is a reliable go to for meals with family or groups. At the same time experiences are mixed, with a few dishes described as bland or overly heavy on masala, some meals arriving cold or lacking freshness, and concerns raised about cleanliness and ambiance. Dessert options are hit or miss, though several diners highlight kheer and halwa puri as highlights on other visits. The paya and haleem are repeatedly singled out as among the best in the area. Overall the restaurant is seen as a solid, approachable choice for authentic desi cuisine in Montreal, popular for lunch and dinner and for events, with room to improve presentation and consistency to elevate the dining experience.

This is the only spot I visit for Halwa Puri. While the taste can be hit or miss, the Puris are always fresh, The service is decent, It's a spacious venue in a prime location with great potential. With a bit more effort & attention, they could easily take this place to the next level.

Tried this place last night & it was very average. Maybe because it was late, but the service was dismissive (& I will leave it at that). The food was also very average. I had the Manchurian chicken & it was hard. Also lot of sauce & very little chicken. As I took this to go, didn't see the quantity until I went back to my hotel. Also had the green peas paneer (forgot the name) & same, very few pieces of paneer with very hard peas.
