HIGHWAY ROBBERY! I had taken my wife for dinner on a weekday, price of buffet was reasonable food was amazing but 15% GRATUITY! With no service?
We tried their weekend buffet yesterday. The quality was great, food was authentic Pakistani taste. We enjoyed it a lot. Alhumdulillah. Will be returning here inshaAllah.
Worst place Don't waste $$$
Only ate hete once. Comparable to other Paki places in the area.
Food is little above average but the service is HORRIBLE, I don't understand why Desi restaurants SUCK when it comes to service, it's like a customer is a pain in the ......! Wake up guys, you are in America, go and see how the customer service is in American restaurants.
Food is mediocre. I had very high expectations from them since owners have been around for a long time and know what kind of a taste desi food must have. Their catering food is good but inside the restaurant is disappointing. Myself and many of my friends have tried this place a few times and 9 out of 10 times our stomach go bad. No more Dera for me or my buddies. You guys should seriously get a better chef.
Good food.
Great service. Good tasting sweets at Dera Snack shop next door to Dera Restaurant. Friendly staff
It's a nice place to visit. The food is authentic Pakistani with buffet option available. The food had exact Lahori taste in it. I loved the nihari, biryani and puri and Karahi there
Clean location, staff was nice. Bottom line the chef needs a crash course in Pakistani food. I went there for the buffet which in my opinion was over priced and the food was sub-standard. I don't mind paying more money for good food. But I left that placed annoyed. Manager should ask himself if he would eat that food? Raise ur standard
Service could be improved as some arrogant and ignorant people can make the entire place/experience look bad. Without judging the review based on one aspect of experience (bad service), the chicken karahi was tasty. Ordered hot but received mild. The Dera Platter was not good, Lamb Kabobs were like chewy wood, Chicken kabobs didn't have any taste. Sheikh kababs were good. Naans were good. They can definitely practice some better hygiene.
I've been there Numerous occasions and response was the same Which is awesome food and service .
Dera is one of the best Pakistan restaurants to bring family and friends to eat. Number one restaurant EVER! FOOD IS AWSOME. My family and I hang out there every other day and specially on a weekends and special family gatherings. I personally love there chicken biryani and kheer and halwa puree and there service is excellent..... God bless them. MY number one Pakistani restaurant choice always and forever!
food is okay but the source of the chicken is not hand cut!
you wont find a better tasting pakistani buffet in all of america the only thing missing was gulab jamon which i think they should include as dessert great service full wait staff even more than needed the Nihari and naan which is in the weekend buffet alone is worth the price of buffet
great weekend dinner buffet they had, amazing nihari and fluffy naan included along with chicken tikka boti water pitcher was provided so didnt have to call waiter like other places
Have eaten twice. Both times went around 8/9 pm for dinner both times on weekends. First time the food was not very good. Rice (chicken biryani) was burnt, Naan was over done Nihari meat was very hard. The Aloo salan was good and pa'ay were decent. The second time I went the food was better - not great but much better. The rice (chicken biryani) was good and the Nihari meat was tender. The Naan was much better as well and aloo again were good. Met one of the owners this is their 5th restaurant in past 10 years. They used to own Abshaar and a few other joints. They need to try to be more consistent with the quality. For the money I expect much better. Won't go out of my way to eat but if in the area will definitely keep as an option.
Good lamb kabob, not great though!
They have good food, sometimes a little bit oily but the taste is great. I think other than Raavi it is one of the only other places with great food.
Ate at Dera Restaurant today. The food was great. We had the Chicken Karahi (w/bone), Chicken Biryani, Kabob Masala, and the Katchori appetizer. The decor is nice and clean, and the service was great also. We wish success to the restaurant. Also, we ordered off the menu and not the buffet. I would definetly recommend this restaurant!
