Dera Restaurant est largement reconnu comme une destination incontournable à Montréal pour la cuisine pakistanaise authentique, de nombreux clients louant la fraîcheur et la saveur des plats classiques tels que le nihari, le paya, le haleem et les naans fraîchement préparés. Bien que de nombreux convives apprécient le personnel accueillant, les prix abordables et la générosité des portions, les expériences concernant la rapidité du service et la régularité varient considérablement. Certains visiteurs trouvent l'atmosphère propice aux réunions de famille et aux événements, tandis que d'autres ont soulevé des préoccupations concernant la propreté, les normes vestimentaires du personnel et des oublis occasionnels dans la qualité des plats ou l'attention portée au service. Malgré des avis partagés sur l'ambiance et la constance, l'établissement demeure un choix populaire pour ceux qui recherchent des saveurs traditionnelles et des options de restauration tardives.
The food here always hits the spot. I dont understand all the negative reviews since this is my family's go-to restaurant. The food is well cooked & flavorful, they dont make it bland the second they see a white person like most other restaurants. The staff is also very friendly. A guy today offered us an umbrella as we were leaving so we wouldn't get soaked walking to the car in the pouring rain.
I came from Mississauga to Montreal, & this is the best spot that I found to eat food with your friends & family. The service was very good & the food was excellent quality would recommend to everybody.
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.

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.
I went with my family for iftar buffet. Although the price was reasonable $30/adult & $10/ kid under 10 years old . The samosa/ fries were good but the rest of the food was alright & the dessert were soooo dammm disappointing like fruit chaat & kher.i just know i wont be going there again, like ever again which is sad cuz i really though it would be yummy 😕
We had a wonderful family dinner at Dera Restaurant. The food was fresh, flavorful, & truly authentic. The haleem & chicken tikka were outstanding, & the staff made us feel very welcome. Murtaza is the most handsome owner & kind. If you need special spices touch go see him. The atmosphere is perfect for family gatherings. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality Pakistani cuisine in Montreal!
The service here was amazing & the staff definitely try to create this sense of home through the restaurant & food.
The taste of the food was good according to my family's palate, but if you're someone who likes heavy masala & oil, this place is not for you. The food is a bit bland &, in some instances, warm but not cold. They don't ask for mild or hot preferences for food, but there is little to no spice in all of their dishes. However, their naan were clearly hot off the oven & tasted like traditional naan - quite good.
This restaurant attempts to portray itself as a high end restaurant & they offer catering for all types of occasions. However, their atmosphere needs work. Staff were all dressed in sweats & were given a Dera Restaurant baseball cap to wear - in my opinion, staff should have a clear uniform. This doesn't mean they need business attire…just not sweats.
Additionally, while cleaning off tables, staff were not provided gloves & were instead cleaning & picking up used dishes, cups, tissue, etc. with their bare hands. Additionally, the lighting at night was terrible & reminiscent of a run down hospital. The bathrooms were relatively clean but the toilet seat in the women's bathroom had been removed & dumped to the side in one of the stalls & the garbage was overflowing. So cleanliness needs some work.
Overall, for the price we paid to eat, you're literally getting what you pay for. We paid $50 with tips for a family of four, which isn't even close to what we would pay in the GTA. If you look at this in a monetary context, then this place is actually perfect.
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.
