We decided to open Dera restaurant 20 years back, which was a time when we would have to drive for hours to get a decent tasting Pakistani meal. It was just not easy to find delicious, decent and easily accessible Pakistani food.
We decided then, to open a restaurant that offers delicious Pakistani food to satisfy those taste buds. To bring our appetizing, lavish and scrumptious food to New York and introduce it to as many people as possible. Preparing a great home cooked Pakistani meal takes time, thought and passion. Come on over to “Dera Restaurant” and experience what a traditional home cooked authentic Pakistani meal tastes like. Our ingredients are fresh, our passion is deep and our meals are delightful!
