HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
It is located at walking distance of 7-10 minutes from Basanti Devi College. I went to this place with two of my friends and we had ordered Shirin Pulao, Moti Pulao and Mutton Baghdadi. We asked one of their waiters to recommend their special items and they helped us with it. The food was very palatable.Their Moti Pulao with meat balls is one of the best rice preparations I have ever had. I would also recommend their Mutton Baghdadi as it has the good blend of the spices according to me. The people working in that place are very generous. Over all it was a good experience.
Dera is located beside Indian Silk House or to be more remarkable beside Citi Style. Dera was a very overwhelming place and dishes from this place is little different as these are Afghan Speciality dishes. Staffs were quite courteous and well behaved they even suggested their popular items.It offers a huge seating capacity.
We had ordered:-
•Fresh Lime Soda
• Zaffrani kebab
•Murgh lasooni kebab
•Moti pulao
•Tangri pulao
•Kabuli pulao Veg.
All of the items were very good and different than the rest.

Another afghan food outlet in south Kolkata near gariahat. This is the nice place to hangout with friends. The dishes are nicely presented and served in generous proportions. The staffs are helpful enough to assist you with good suggestions.

Yet another unique and significant addition to the varied culinary map of Kolkata.. Though we have Kaafila in City Centre, but South Kolkata lacked an authentic Afghani cuisine restaurant.. Deraa hopes to fill up that void.. Nothing extraordinary about the décor, simple and elegant with a few hand-woven carpets and paintings adding to the theme of this place.. Seating was comfortable with spacious sofas and since we went for an early lunch it was mostly vacant throughout.. Servers were attentive, well behaved, although they seemed a bit inexperienced as they goofed up with one of our orders but apologized duly on being notified.. The food we tasted:
Hara Aam Sharbat: Refreshing, but a bit too sweet for my personal preference.. Also I felt they made it a bit more syrupy lacking natural flavors..
Chupa Rustam: An unique kebab to start with.. Chicken Seekh Kebab wrapped with mined mutton.. Loved the seasoning and the expert blending of the two meats..
Mahi Zaffrani Kebab: Another flawless dish, sublime in flavor, strong presence of saffron coupled with the freshness of river Bhetki.. Charred to perfection retaining the original flavor of the fish itself..
Murgh Zafrani Kebab: This is where they goofed up as we ordered Peshawari Kebab actually.. Similar in taste but the seasoning was more flavorful being on chicken and the meat was soft and juicy..
Mutton Kabuli Pulao: The highlight dish of the entire meal.. A signature dish fresh from Kabul, where rice is slow cooked with mutton balls and Afghani spices.. On top it is finished with Mutton Keema.. Bursting with flavors and long grain rice.. Passionately Recommended..
Murgh Tangri Pulao: Similar preparation using Chicken Drums and middle eastern spices.. This one was good too but tasted more like Biryani..
Gosht Banjara: Ordered on server’s recommendation.. This one was the real deal, spicy, hot and full of rich gravy and complex assortment of spices.. Tasted too yummy and the mutton was tender..
Gosht Pashtuni: Another Afghan delicacy cooked with extreme care and authenticity.. This one was also extremely spicy and oily, with the addition of scrambled eggs on top.. Goes well with the Pulao..
Love E Mashooq: A variant of t Shahi Tukda, with the unique heart shaped fried bread topped with cherry rings.. Extremely tasteful, the Kheer was thick and creamy with a strong presence of saffron..
Overall, I felt this place excel in parts, however need to be a bit more professionally managed and bring in more consistency in the dishes served overall.. Some dishes were stand apart while others pretty mediocre.. Our total cheque was Rs. 3340/- (all incl.) for 4 people..
Food: 4/5
Pricing: 3/5
Service: 3.5/5
Ambiance: 3.5/5
I went to this place with my family to celebrate my mother's birthday. It has decent decor and the staff was also quite attentive and polite but the service was quite slow. When we went there the restaurant was not even crowded, only one other table was occupied but still they took quite a lot of time to serve our food.
In terms of food I have mixed opinions. I liked the most of it but some were not that great. The gravies were not that special and had too much oil in it. But the breads and the rice that we ordered were really toothsome. We tried the barbari Irani, afgani naan, yakhni pulao and one other rice varient but it's name I cannot recall at this moment. All the dishes tasted brilliant and the kababs were nice too.... Specially the mahi kabab. We also ordered kulfi for dessert and that too was quite good.... Nothing extraordinary but sufficiently good. If i had not tasted the gravy dishes I would have given it a 5 star instead of 4.
Pashtuni kebab was just mind blowing. It's made with some different types of spices and the texture, smell and look is too tempting.
Kesar Malai Kulfi was just yummy.
You should try these at least.
It was in my wishlist for a long time, finally got a chance to visit this place with my parents on bengali new year for lunch.
located just beside of the city style, there is a parking area on the main road just infront of this restraunt. well decorated , quite spacious.
we ordered zafrani kabaab in the starter and it was really good. in the main course there was saffron polao, sahi paneer, nihari gosht and tandoori naan. the naan was so good, soft and served hot. nihari was not upto the mark. it was just like normal mutton curry with no smell of mutton!!!
in the desert item we placed the order of gulab jamun with rabdi and hara aam ka sarbaat. both of them were yumm!!!
overall a good lunch we had on that day. the only suggestion which i can recommend is that, play some good soft music, it can creat a good mood, there was no music playing that day and due to the chaos of other people it was destroying our lunch pleasure.

Another of the Afghan food wala outlet of South Kolkata located near Gariahat. Went there on Poila boisakh and as you'll expect,had to wait for 25min before getting in.
Food(3.5/5)- Personally, searching about this resturant in Zomato and reading previous reviews, I was a tad dissapointed. We had lasooni Kabab for starters which was a bit salty and lacked the Lasooni flavour...pretty average I would say. Was going to try Chupa Rustom kabab(a lot was written about this in reviews) but unfortunately all mutton kababs were finished. Also biriyani was not available,which was dissapointing for my sister. We ordered chicken Kabuli Polao but was instead given Mutton kabuli polao(agreed the hotel was full,but still..pretty casual approach and bad mistake). Anyway Kabuli polao was very good...so was the Mutton side dish(forgot name) which was recommended to us by the waiter. Also fresh lime Soda was refreshing. The Cheese nun had very little cheese and hence dissapointing.
So apart from the 2 main courses, other food items were average.
Ambience (4/5): Although looked small and shabby from outside..this place had an afghani feel with Afghani carpets&rugs hanging from walls and some unique designs on the wall. So,nice ambience I would say.
Service (3/5): Taking into consideration that the hotel was full and that,they had to serve a lot of customers,still I would say that the service wasn't that good. Had to call them twice/thrice to take orders/refill glasses and also food took more than 25min to come. Also the error in Kabuli polao as I mentioned. Huge scope of improvement here I feel.
Value for money (3.5/5)- The starters cost 350 for 6 pieces..and I felt it wasn't worth it at all for the quality mainly. The main courses had decent quantity and okayish in taste so..main course had good value for money. Fresh lime Soda was Rs90 which I again felt was a bit overpriced.
Would perhaps visit this place again,if they improved a little on their quality of food or bring down their rates. And yes,would expect better service too next time :)
Visited the restaurant for a family dinner, and it turn out to be a great experience, the ambience was quiet and peaceful, a menu with a difference , the quality of food was fantastic, and the breads were amazing... however the dessert menu could have been better and the nehari recipe needs to be worked,, rest all was just five 🌟
They have just renovated it recently ! The ambience is good I would say, but the food served here is just AWESOME !!! You will have to wait at least for 30 minutes after ordering the dishes, but the wait is worth it ! We had Murg zafrani as a starter. The chicken was so tender that you wont need any knife to chop it off. It will come off automatically. Then we had Sahi chicken pulao and Chicken bagdaadi. Only one word : BRILLIANT !!! You must visit this not so famous Afghani restaurant and I am damn sure that you will find reasons to visit this *dera* frequently ! 5/5 starts !!! 💓💓
The restaurant is located on the main road opposite of Triangular Park, next to N. G. Medicare. If you would like to try something different then you must visit this place either for lunch or dinner. Here you will get some good recipes. You will mainly get Afghanistan food over here. The place is not so big but well managed. The interior decor is good. The taste of the food is just awesome, you will really love it. I really love there Kabuli Pulao, which is just awesome in taste along with Chicken Bagdadi and Murgh Sharaba they both were awesome in taste. I don't like the taste of the soup which was Khandari Shourba. The prices are not so reasonable, it's bit on higher side but still overall it's a good. You can visit here with your family and friends. You will really love it.

Relatively a new entrant in the Mughlai restaurant scene in Kolkata, but it's almost like the wild card rookie player who gives a shocker to everyone, blasting away to glory. I withheld my review till I visited the joint a second time as well, just to make sure it's not a one time experience, but a general attitude of the place...
Eating at Deraa is an experience. It's not solely the food, or the ambiance, its an experience in total, almost like a good dish...it's Best when everything comes together. To start, let me rate the dishes I had in the two trips:
1. Tajik Sahi Kebab - 5⭐️
2. Yakhni Pulao - 4⭐️
3. Laccha Paratha - 4⭐️
4. Barbari Irani - 5⭐️
5. Murg Laziz Tikka (extra spicy on request) - 5⭐️
6. Gosht Banjara - 5⭐️
7. Deraa Ka Raita - 3⭐️
And
8. Love E Mashooq - ORGASMIC!
Now, eating at a restaurant, specially one that looks this posh, is not just about the food, and that's where these guys have nailed it. They make you feel welcome at the restaurant, not just as a customer, but as a guest. The courteous and polite service, along with the warm smiles had taken me aback in a weird way. You are made to feel nice, not just with the dishes, but also the overall experience. Just be prepared for a little slower than usual service, it is justified by the taste.
P.S. The prices in the menu are inclusive of taxes, so you get e decent idea of the budget without calculating the taxes on the total bill mentally.
Nice restaurant which serves food on the afghani backdrop... Lasooni kebabs are really good and so are the interiors but a major low is the service time...
We were there for lunch and the restaurant was almost empty yet they took half an hour to bring every item we ordered...
All in all should visit once for the taste of food.
Good ambience and service. The kebabs here are delicious. They however need to work on their drinks, both with taste as well as presentation!
Good Restaurant .My Tapan is really helpful ..rotisserie are better than rice .Prices are okay too
Authentic afgani food... U can find the real afgani touch in the ambience and members
Food quality is really good. Had polao and kabab. Was mouthwatering. Their desert list is also quite attractive...
Environment and food both are good. Price are reasonable.
We had good biryani- chicken and mutton here . The place was crowded and had a waiting period. The manager was courteous and arranged 3 seats for us, but in a table with other people! He asked before , of course and since it was quite a rush at 2230 hours at night, we agreed. But seating was tight. and it was a long wait for food.
Food however tasted good and we enjoyed it.
