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.<br/ We had ordered: <br/ •Fresh Lime Soda<br/ • Zaffrani kebab<br/ •Murgh lasooni kebab<br/ •Moti pulao<br/ •Tangri pulao<br/ •Kabuli pulao Veg.<br/ 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:<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ Murgh Tangri Pulao: Similar preparation using Chicken Drums and middle eastern spices.. This one was good too but tasted more like Biryani..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ 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..<br/ <br/ Food: 4/5<br/ <br/ Pricing: 3/5<br/ <br/ Service: 3.5/5<br/ <br/ Ambiance: 3.5/5<br/ <br/
