Dera Restaurant

Dera Restaurant on Cheetham Hill Road has earned a strong reputation for authentic Lahori and Pakistani cooking since opening in 2012. Paya (slow-cooked lamb trotters), nihari (marrow-rich slow meat stew), saji (clay-oven whole chicken) and lamb karahi are among the dishes reviewers single out. The canteen-style room decorated with Pakistani village artefacts is unlicensed and family-friendly. Prices are consistently described as fair for the portion sizes, and the kitchen cooks on a large scale for the faithful Cheetham Hill following. Halal.
