"Dera is by far the most beautiful restaurant in Parc Extension.\n\nThe decor is airy and the tables are well laid out, you could hardly tell this used to be a bank. \n\nThe food itself has vastly improved since they first opened, but still not up to par with the heavyweights on Jarry and Jea-Talon Street.\n\nThe standout the last time were the Chicken Tikka, succulent breast freshly grilled.\nThe Lamb Okra was re-heated (oil separated), but still tasty.\nWe also had a lamb byriani, which was ok, (We wanted Pulao Rice, but was not on their menu, only saw it on blackboard when leaving).\n\nMy Pakistani friend says his people love meat with bones stil on them, most dishes here give you a boneless and non-boneless option. He loved the lamb, I didn't care for it, I would prefer chicken dishes next time.\n\nThe service is very distant, lowered gazes, almost no talking or interaction. It's a given here. \n\nThe food used to be much worse (and much cheaper), when they first opened, so this is a restaurant going in the right direction. There are about 5 Pakistani Restaurants in Parc-Ex, and Dera overall seems to be in the lead."^^ . . . . "2014-11-02T00:00:00"^^ . "0"^^ .
