  I used to visit here a lot when they newly opened for the weekend buffet and to dine in on weekdays. I stopped eating here when they started preparing the food in the morning or afternoon and reheating it when ordered. Additionally, the ratings on this restaurant went down, too, so I didn't think about dining here again. But everyone has their own taste, and I'm glad I visited Dera again. But I realized yesterday that them preparing the food in advance is not a bad thing! I had previously ordered the Chicken 65, Goat Masala, Palak Paneer, Chicken Biryani & Naan. All were tasty, but the Chicken 65 was soggy because it wasn't fresh that day. Yesterday, I ordered the Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Samosa, and Naan. The food came out quickly and was hot. I enjoyed the Biryani here more than other places because the Masala (flavor) was saturated in the rice, and the rice itself was warm and melted in my mouth. The Chicken Tikka Masala had thicker cut boneless chicken and did get a little dry, but you can simply add the gravy to it to add flavor and moisture. The Naan was made fresh to order. and they added butter to it without asking. It was so soft and Fluffy that I couldn't stop eating it. The chicken Samosas not only had chicken, but some potato in it too. It was a big, heavy samosa. And I couldn't finish it all. Overall, the service was great, and the lady at their front was taking care of everything herself. From answering phones, taking orders, and serving guests, I commend her for that. When we were paying, she even offered us to sample the Gajar Halwa and Kheer (so good!), but we were stuffed and couldn't order it. It was very refreshing coming here after such a long time and receiving good service and delicious food! InShaAllah, I'll be back again!

  Bottled water is extra charge $1.50 and not included in Buffet ($12) Variety of food is good, plenty of parking, tea is extra $2 and not bad at all. Toilets are dirty with garbage overflowing, condensation water leaking from the AC air vent in dining room. Overall gets the job done on budget 🤭✅

  So far so food. If you are looking for karachi style Bihari and Biryani then they are very close to the same taste. Loved it. And of course No one can beat them When it comes to price- ## what else you want. Follow me for more

  You will not find a better $12 lunch special anywhere. Even the bottled water is included in that price. Whoever makes the naan bread there, is quite talented. It really came out great, not that the rest of the food was not good also.
