One of the best places to visit during COVID-19 indoor restrictions. Location is good, taste is above average, and they offer a variety of food. If you go around 6 or 7 pm their service is good, after that, you need to wait a lot for your order.One problem, that is also heard from close friends, they usually try to avoid card transactions (thats highly unprofessional).

Average taste. On top of that they keep saying card payment is not working (to avoid the less and official payment of tax) but when forced they agreed. Not a good value for money. Ambience was good

Food Quality Average , Ambiance Good , Prices not justified. STARTER WAS EXPENSIVE THAN REGULAR MEAL. 5 STRIPES OF FISH ABOUT 0.3 KG WAS PRICED AS 1290 RUPEES. SOUP NOT Up to mark. Over all thumbs down

IMPORTANT NOTE AT END.!!We 23 persons had our lunch at dera.We orderedWhite karahi 8/10White handi 7/10Kebabs 5/10Cheese malai boti 9/10Our bill was almost 27k.NOTE:They included 16% GST in bill, we told them we want to pay through card, they said our mechine is not working. That was totally a lame excuse to get extra money from customers pocket.We insisted on paying through card, then they took cash with 5% GST.I think everyone should know, so I shared with you. P.S pardon me for bad quality of snaps as I cropped them from video.

Food was ok, but place was dusty and non hygiene. Platter, Mutton Karahi & and desi karahi was ok but Kheer and Gulab Jaman was pathetic.

I used to really like dera. But their service, ambiance and food is dropping day by day. And they have started to charge like a very high end restaurants these days. Sooo its better to go somewhere else

Took them over an hour to bring out our 2 dishes and 4naans, one was grill and the other was tawa piece.They brought the naans first after about sitting for 30 minutes, God knows why, and the grill about 20 minutes after that (so in total 50 minutes wasted) then after waiting around 15 more minutes we complain about our main dish, and they asked us to wait but looked very confused as if they forgot, another 20 minutes later they bring out the dish but its wrong, all is too wait another 15 minutes, during which time we honestly were done, and the main dish was pointless, as we are getting up to pay, they keep the correct dish infront of us which we were forced to pack and keep with us.It was very disappointing, and the food was generic in taste, there wasnt anything that truly popped out which might had made all our waiting worth it.

Review №18

Nice family restaurant, also suitable for friends gathering. Desi cultural theme and ambience, Chicken Sajji with balochi rice, Mutton karahi, chicken cheese boti and Mutton kabab are worthy to order, no better taste than Dera in these dishes. Average rates with quality food and service.

Durring Covid they are providing outdoor dining. When I was there it started raining. They did had subpar arrangemnts to prevent us from getting wet.Their chicken tikka was kind of dry. Krahi was alright. Fish was burnt in many places. Their standard did not meet their prices.To top it off, no debit/credit card payment service available

Review №25

Substandard food with some people who are customers but swearing with each other wasnt a plesent experience. If I have to rate the food I had kebabs which were bland and also the makhni handi wasnt tasteful enough. Food is definitely 2/10 environment 3/10 I mean its been ages since they established and making money but no one has thought of renovating putting proper tables which by the way were wonky on my side. The ambiance is extremely dated and our table cloth had stains on them I would never recommend this place for any sort of Desi experience period.

Dera, Dero, Daro, Dhoro, Dahar or Dehra is a Pashto, Balochi, Sindhi, Gujarati, Kutchi, Saraiki, Punjabi, and Dogri-language word meaning camp, mound or settlement. In Punjabi, it is usually used as a place where men meet and socialize in the village.I along with a couple of friends visited this excellent restaurant after going shopping. It was truly amazing with a wide range of pakistani western and English dishes. It was a large variety of snacks and desserts plus beverages. They were a set price all you can eat. The only down side was there were no soft drinks The food it really good, service is excellent. They offer a variety of menu. The best part is its not very expensive. One has his fill in economical charges.Ive had a good experience and will recommend for Pakistani food.

Lahore is full of food joints, something to catch even the most conservative tasting tongue. Among the Desi menu choices, I would say Dera is one of the finest and with every passing year they are improving, both the variety in their menu and the quality of food, although there is nothing more they can do about the outside sitting area. Its comfortable and gives a true desi vibe with wooden chaarpai and moora setup to sit. Live music on tabla and flute with village tunes soothes your soul. You can see your lassi being hand made while you wait by villagers with real technique. The food menu is everything you expect and more. I recommend you try the full platter...it has everything for every taste and guarantees that you will be feeling satisfied and full once you are done eating. Finish off with ever changing dessert menu and enjoy minute of the dining experience.
