Including India! Hands down their best thing for me is the huge thin stuffed parathas! The chef is a master of his craft, given how he manages to get whole wheat this flat without stuffing breaking through. The flavoring is not ultra overwhelming like in many pakistani restaurants. The seekh kebabs were perfectly succulent. I felt like I was in Lucknow. I've been here 4 times now and ordered a dozen things and every single item is way more delicious that you'd expect just randomly walking in. To fellow South Asians in the area, I say a drive here from NYC or NJ or CT will be well worth it, just after your first bite of aloo paratha. Check it out. Be warned tho that it's not exactly a place made for dine in. They only have 3-4 tables.

Usually good service but this time we felt like the portions were smaller and when we asked about it, the lady made sure we wouldn't waste the food.

I hope they don't make us feel like we are a burden next time the family eats at this establishment.

Also, quite a lot of the meats from the bbq were off the menu. There was one server and one host in the entire restaurant. We got no guidance and no information and nobody helped us or removed hot plates or used plates. Whenever we wanted more food, we had to walk to the back to track down the waiter. No one ever came to check on us not one time. I'm guessing this place is going out of business because this was absolutely awful. I'm sad because it used to be a great experience.

Between the excellent service, the friendly atmosphere, and the consistently delicious food, DERA Restaurant is a place I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Pakistan cuisine.

We ordered lamb saag, tikka masala, two types of naan (including the chicken tikka cheese naan, which was totally unique and delicious. Never seen it before), and raita. All of the dishes were standouts. Well-balanced spices, tender meat, perfectly crispy-chewy naan. I've tried cooking Indian food at home for 20 years, eaten at places from Miami to Patterson and in between. This is at least top 3, maybe the best I've ever had. Great food, just delicious home cooking. I never leave reviews like this, but I haven't enjoyed a meal as much as this in years. Thank you! Wonderful experience.

To start, their prices for the food was very reasonable. We got a combinations of naans (garlic,…read morecheese, and Peshwari) which were buttery, soft, and soaked in flavors from the spices in the rice and curries. The Peshwari was sweet, soft, and subtly addictive with sweet morsels of dates and other sweet spices. The tikka masala was good, but the homestyle curry was the overall favorite with tender, steamy, spiced chicken and a rich sauce that went so well with the rice. The lady working in the restaurant was extremely sweet, chatting with people at tables and even offering us a huge handful of the mints as we left the warm and comforting atmosphere. Overall, the portions were big, well cooked, and worth recommending.

When she looked up to greet me, she didn't even realize that an order came through...a while ago. Oh well. She made my order pretty fast and gave me a nice heaping bowl of food to make up for it. Thanks! I'd advise steering clear of the pepper onion mix as there is a good chance you'll get a big pile of onions, without many peppers. That's what happened to me. No matter really - I just dumped out the excess. The green sauce seemed kinda watery this time, but otherwise, it was a great bowl. The chicken is still really tasty, juicy and you get a lot. The experience overall is close to 4 stars this time, but the addition of olives coating the top of my salad made me smile. I love olives!

Updated Review - The defensiveness about the owner response says everything. No such conversation…read moretook place about the very friendly nut facility. That is false. At no point were we told that your restaurant could not safely accommodate her allergy, nor were we advised that we should not dine there because of the risk. We certainly were not presented with the conversation you are now describing as though we knowingly disregarded a clear warning and chose to proceed anyway. Had we been told that our daughter's allergy could not be safely accommodated, we would have left. Her safety is obviously more important than having dinner at any restaurant. What is especially troubling is that, despite notifying your staff of her peanut allergy, our daughter experienced an allergic reaction while dining at your establishment. That was the reason I had to leave abruptly. Trying to redirect the focus onto the fact that your kitchen uses third-party products or has a risk of cross-contamination does not change the fact that your staff was informed of her allergy before she was served. Regarding the service, reviewing timestamps on security footage does not capture the attentiveness, communication, delays, or overall quality of service at our table. And regarding the bill: I never stated that an employee walked up to me and verbally accused us of not paying. My concern was the manner in which my husband was treated after I suddenly had to leave with our daughter because she was having an allergic reaction. I had no reason to fabricate the negative portions of our experience. I would have much preferred for your response to simply acknowledge that a child with a disclosed peanut allergy experienced a reaction in your restaurant. Instead, your response appears focused on disputing our experience and placing responsibility back on us. That is disappointing and, frankly, reinforces my concerns about how this situation was handled. Previous Review: The food was delicious and beautifully presented, which unfortunately made the rest of our experience even more disappointing. Service throughout the meal was quite slow, but the most concerning issue occurred after our daughter experienced an allergic reaction. We had specifically informed our waiter that she has a peanut allergy, so having her develop a reaction during the meal was extremely alarming. Because of the situation, I had to leave the restaurant urgently with our daughter while my husband remained behind. What was particularly upsetting was the way the staff behaved afterward, seemingly concerned that we were attempting to leave without paying the bill. In the middle of dealing with our child having an allergic reaction, being treated as though we might skip out on the bill was incredibly upsetting, unprofessional, and frankly disturbing. Of course the bill was going to be paid. Our immediate priority in that moment was making sure our daughter was safe. While the food itself was excellent, restaurants have a responsibility to take food allergies seriously and to respond with professionalism and compassion when a medical situation occurs. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled overshadowed what otherwise could have been a very enjoyable dining experience.

I'm used to Palestinian style middle eastern food growing up northeast NJ so I was a bit skeptical it was as good as the norm, but I have to admit... I found my new favorite spot. There just isn't good food anymore, ANYWHERE. I appreciate a restaurant when I come across it and they check everything off the list. 1000/10!!!

Food was fresh and delicious; attentive and timely service-wise, too. Ordering delivery was a bit of a different story. Ordered two gyros and neither had tzatziki which was very disappointing. Tzatziki is what we live for and the shining star of a gyro--how do you forget that not once but twice?! Then there were the very greasy and droopy fries. Yes, fries are delicate travelers but these were hopeless. And at a $9(!!) price point, they should really find another way of transporting them to customers. Last, the lentil soup was not prepared well. It was bland and overly thick than many others I have eaten before by other chefs. All in all, not terrible but rather a bad lasting impression. Don't think we'll be returning.

I called my order in and asked them to label the platters and they said they would but when I picked it up it was not labeled because the person on the phone "didn't understand" what I meant. A clarifying follow up question would have been nice. The staff was not apologetic at all and watched me label the food myself after paying for the order. They also do not provide itemized receipts. Every item comes up as "custom item" on the receipt.. I guess so they can charge whatever the way. The food itself was fine, nothing spectacular and definitely not worth the wait

We also ordered the Garlic Mayo Fries, not pictured, but fries were the same as the ones in the Chaplin platter. The Garlic Mayo was okay, slightly sweet? But good.
