Ordered red paneer karahi. It was differwnt and heavy meal. They serve in car, open traditional charpie sitting and indoor chair table also. Food served quickly and fine spicy desi taste. Waiters are cooperative and efficient.

Been eating here since my school days. Best place for Halwa Puri, whether at breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The chicken cheese paratha is also great. Just remember to check the bill when youre paying; Ive always had a feeling these guys overcharge for food.

Reviews here excited me to order Deras Chicken Cheese Paratha. It was OKAY but no where near the praise heaped upon it.I was expecting inconsistent service, & I got so. The lad brought me Sweet Lassi instead of the Salted one I ordered, & it took me 3-4 waves to interest him in the first place.In their defense, Boating Basins wait staff is overworked and underpaid. Therefore, prone to corruption & underhand tactics.

We had iftar last night and it was okay, nothing impressive , we ordered handi, karhai and tikka botti. It was not like Dera in Lahore

Although this place is liked by most of the people in Karachi. I found few things about which I was most concerned. Firstly, it got a small indoor sitting area so when the crowd is large they have to settle sitting outside where theres a lot of waste lying produce by the people visiting there. Secondly, no they dont offer good service even bills are hand written. I feel that they over charge too for a few times like stuffed parathas but these parathas are perfect for Sunday mornings breakfast.

It is a good place for open air breakfast when the weather is nice. The service is a little because of large number of people present there. Sometimes you also have to wait to get a table. Halwa puri isnt that tasty. Ive eaten better puri from small hotels.

Nice place for traditional spicy food. Open air seating makes it even wonderful. Seating out is good in the evening as it can be hot during the day time.

Great taste... Halwa Puri is awesome. Tried BBQ cheese partha it was average with respect to it amount but over all service and taste is good

Sa
Review №24

Quality of chicken cheese paratha has been reduced and price has been increased instead .... one chicken cheese paratha in Rs.400 ....does not worth it ...

Good food, poor ambiance if youre sitting outside. Parking not that great. Plus be ready for waiters fighting over you, trying to get you to eat at their specific place.

Review №27

Pathetic, unhygienic filthiest place ever, even all the restaurants of boat basin area have same common features, so better stay away, highly unrecommended.

Honestly unable to understand the hype about this place. The service system is a complete mess, food is overly priced seating arrangement is poor and overly crowded. If you really wanna enjoy it go early In the morning no later than 10 am

Great food and quick service! But the family area is too congested and makes you feel nauseous.

Dr
Review №42

Its OK as sitting arrangements were not at all organised and time like Ramadan special arrangements are required to maintain the standard of such a famous place plus service was also not proper..Few steps may improve the standard.

Quality of food is decreasing day by day not as tasty as earlier it was. Secondly breakfast of halwa Puri earlier it is one of the best in Karachi. But now it is like other usual restaurants . Thirdly check bill properly rates are different from menu prices sometimes ,that did by waiters. Another thing is waiters are uncooperative .

Poor service, substandard food, expensive rates. Dont go there for breakfast, just ignore boat basin altogether and go elsewhere for breakfast. Each eatery there is cashing in on the name, the foods average at best.

Cannot review as went for breakfast there at around 6.30 am. Arrived 30 mins after the opening hours. The food was not ready and the restaurant needed some more time to start service. Therefore cannot comment on the food but they should at least adhere to timings advertised.

Its just an average place nothing extravagant. Moreover waiters usually overcharge the customers, so if you eat there make sure you calculate the bill yourself too just to be on the safe side do not just rely on the amount told by the waiter.

Worse experience of sunday breakfast, non delicious food with so much oil in chana tarkaari. All attention was to grab other nearby restaurants customers by calling them to come in dera, no proper service for dining in customers. It was my first and last visit to dera.

Simply the worst place for halwa puri breakfast in the whole city. The channa and potato curries actually reeked.The offerings are overpriced exorbitantly. Save yourself the trouble and eat at BBQ tonight instead nearby at Bilawal Chorangi.If one must have halwa poori in the vicinity then try the shawarma place besides mottas supermarket
