Dera Niazi: Reviews & Ratings
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough! Tucked discreetly down Derby Road, opposite the pub on the corner. Never before have I had such great food, every element was perfect. Each interaction seamless, effortless on behalf of management and staff. Think the best Indian/Pakistani food, then multiply, add exceptional customer service, with a manager who remembers you by face and name after one visit! I shall revisit this weekend and upload images for all to see, alas I will be unable to add taste/smellavison. My sincerest thanks for a wonderful visit Craig McCormack
Absolutely love this place! I come here every week and it’s hands down one of the best Pakistani restaurants in town. The food is consistently delicious — full of flavour, always fresh, and beautifully presented. Whether I’m ordering a biryani, karahi, or just popping in for some fresh naan and chai, everything hits the spot every time. What really makes this place special, though, is the service. The staff are always welcoming, polite, and genuinely friendly. They remember their regulars and go out of their way to make you feel at home — it’s that proper desi hospitality that you don’t find everywhere. The atmosphere is cosy and clean, perfect whether you’re coming with family or just grabbing a quick bite. Prices are reasonable too, especially considering the quality. If you’re in the area and love good Pakistani food with excellent service, you have to give this place a try.
One of the best restaurant in west croydon! Freshly made, authentic test and service topics class! Got served by Mr Talha today was amazing! I'll keep coming for the Dal bhuna and nan! And for the 1st class take way tea!!!!
I went there due to the positive reviews that the shop had. I had my doubts as to why the shop is having such good reviews. But now I know why. They provide excellent service and give really good food (both in taste and size) and have a really good atmosphere. The staff and the owner are very friendly. I ordered a naan and chicken curry but he suggested that I should try the buffet for a lower price. The price was only 6.99 and that's a deal. I enjoyed my time there. Really recommendable.
Delicious food and the staff (Talha) is very polite, prompt and kind. We have been to here for breakfast twice now. First class service
Typical desi breakfast. Loved it. Will come back again.
Outclass taste. Came from kingston to try the breakfast finally i reached and #paisa wasool. Friendly Staff. Highly recommend.
I’ve ordered from his several times now and they always go beyond what is expected!! Superb Indian, definitely the best I’ve tried in the area.
