I rarely write reviews, but Dera Restaurant truly deserves one.

What impresses me the most is not only the amazing food but also their outstanding customer service. Every time I order through Uber Eats, there isn't an option to request their delicious spicy chili dip, which goes perfectly with their biryani. Whenever I call the restaurant to ask for it, they always go out of their way to help me. They never hesitate & always send it with such kindness & generosity. That level of care is becoming rare these days.

The food itself is simply exceptional. Whenever I'm feeling homesick or going through a difficult time, Dera's food has a way of bringing me comfort. It reminds me of the warmth of a meal cooked by my mother. It's not just about satisfying hunger-it's about the memories, love, honesty, & joy that come with every bite.

Many restaurants can fill your stomach, but Dera Restaurant fills your heart as well. Every meal feels like home, & honestly, even my soul feels satisfied after eating their food.

Thank you to the entire team at Dera Restaurant for your incredible food & genuine hospitality. Please continue the amazing work. Highly recommended to anyone looking for authentic food made with care & passion

We had a wonderful experience at Dera Restaurant! The biryani was absolutely delicious-full of authentic flavor & perfectly cooked. A special thank you to the pani puri stall outside the restaurant. The pani puri was fresh, tasty, & a perfect addition to our meal. Friendly service, great atmosphere, & amazing food. Highly recommended, & we'll definitely be back! 😊🍛🥣

Review some time on 2018
Fish, chargaa, Biryani, Beef & chicken kebab were delicious & very good. Chicken chilli was average

Updated review in 2022
I feel they have decreased the size of serving, I was disappointed but the portion of food, the taste was good but size is small. I also felt their prices has gone up.

Update review 2026
Went there after a long time. The food quality was still not there. We ordered chicken 3 salan they were not really hot & were below par, kebab were good. Charga was good. The Naan were rock hard. We also took their paan. They were the worse

Great Pakistani food & best samosas in Mtl but sauce is an extra charge. I was lucky to get the freshest jalebis in town, doesn't happen every day in MTL.

The biggest advantage of visiting this restaurant is their opening hours.
