Dera in Walsall

Disappointeding service food is average quality

Very tricky new staff..plz be careful with Bill....we caught them twice in 5 weeks...I have been coming here for 10 years.. wasn't any complain but since they have new staff .. not happy with service... twice they try to over charge...so pls everyone for check menu prices & Bill... thanks

This place used to be a really nice place to eat and take family, the last experience absolutely shocking. Waited ages for someone to bring a menu ended up getting up getting it myself, ordered poppadoms onion salad looked like it was sat there for weeks I knew this was the start of a bad experience, ordered a cheese and garlic naan got given a cheese and chilli , everything else was just right but didn't taste very great. Got charged £2 for a small carton of kids drink. When food arrived had to get up and get my own plates and glasses waiters seemed like they didn't care or don't know what they were doing over all worse place in Walsall, I only rate good on Google it apparent from previous reviews this was that bad had to warn others. Sultans next door way better only if they wasn't busy

Been today, absolutely delicious food, the lamb haleem was fantastic,kebabs, roti, , chops,chicken karahi were all superb!!! Having eaten in a lot of restaurants around Birmingham, this is one ranks very high in taste and flavour!!!!

First time I've ordered from this place, ordered online. I asked them to give me more mint sauce even calling them personally because we love our mint sauce and thank god I didn't pay for the mint sauce as it was vile and they were absolutely tiny, even my son didn't like the burger he wanted it was dry and had a crap cheese slice as when we got it, we thought it had no cheese, we went there because it was high rated but even the food was horrible and the mint sauce was off. Never ordering from there again, wouldnt recommend!!! I want a refund

Biggest scammers went here on two different occasions & was overcharged twice the first time I didn't argue it but the second time was charged £15 over my order when confronted the staff member said the prices on our menu are different and told me he couldn't do nothing what a absolute joke daylight robbery wouldn't recommend

one line describe everything ☆ THEY KNOW HOW TO COOK ☆

Brilliant but dont want to take card payment while card machine present.....

Highly recommended. Super delicious. Freshly cooked

I've dined here before with family & friends & the food was enjoyable. However, during my small family visit yesterday evening at 6:30 pm, (only 3 of us) something was off. The waiter was in mood or probably thats how he generally is, just rude, and the lamb karahi had a unusual taste & smell = either old or off lamb. We had to self-serve get menus / Tissues from bar, used side plates, remind about drinks half way through our meal etc! (Worse experience ever!) My daughter just had a few fries and plain naan saying "lamb is really nasty & vile" Unfortunately, both my wife and I experienced stomach pains upon returning home. In hindsight, I should have stuck with Shere Khan's instead! Or gone to Sultans a few doors up.

Food taste is not similar. I went for two times the first time the tawa taste was awesome, but second, it was awful

Lovely food and traditional place to eat

Good tasting food marred by a noisy atmosphere. People kept walking in and out of the door where we were seated despite there been an empty table ready. Can't complain about food but the staff can be trained to work under pressure and how not to blame each other for the missing cutlery or missing salad etc. Would I go there again? Yes, but if only the above conditions have been met.

Strongly avoid. Sultans is 100x better. The toilets are vile. The tawa for 2 was a rip off portion. The lamb karahi was the only nice thing on the tawa. Rated the service high as it all came out quickly and the waiter did nothing wrong.

Very tasty yummy 😋 food butter chicken was very tasty and also shami kebabs we came all the way from Dewsbury 2 hours drive

Food and abiance is excellent . But a bit pricy .

The food was good and fresh The best was the kebab and meat kharai

Expensive and No card payment fesilty only cash 😞😞😞😞😞😞

Kebabs were delicious and I would recommend them, however the three naan we ordered were all burnt and were not naan it was white roti sold as naan.

The restaurant has a warm ambience. The food is top notch. The service was a little slower than the past experiences I have had, but the food makes it worth it. Must try their Peshawari naan. The quantity is quite appealing.

Disappointed with chicken n lamb karahi. Chops were undercooked.put too much of seekh kebabs to make look tawa look filled.satff didn’t bother to say anything when complained ☹️. We had been there many times before but no more , Never again !

The food here use to be generally good overall but unfortunately on new year's day it caused a dismay for me and the kids. Probably due cost cutting measures for the renowned "cost of living" crisis, which won't mind if I know am being served quality food for an increased priced menu but on the contrary we ordered a "Full Chicken Karahi" for £28 but what turned up seemed like some left over chicken remains from a meat shop. There was more bones than chicken. Why advertise it falsely as "Full Chicken" and mislead the customers. It's easy enough to increase rates on the menu card but one must keep up with the quality of service. You can't have it both ways and con customers. Sheekh kebabs were a bit soggy and the masala fish is just basa fillets not cod! I won't be paying them a visit again anytime soon ⛔️

The first time I ordered from this place food was spot on thank you 😊

We had a small tawa which was good value for money. Food was nice, service was excellent. Decor was very nice pity that the walls were dirty. Overall will visit again and recommend to friends and family

Food was cold. Even after waiting for a long time. Avoid!

Everything was good food is v yamyyyyy

Food lover must try this specific their Tawa meal deal and Lamb chicken freshly made Karahi.. Roti/Chapati are the best .

Ordered takeaway on Uber, food was fresh and tasty. The peri chicken was flavoured well, juicy chicken. The cod masala fish was good. Wings slightly small but tasty. Kebab in naan was fresh and juicy kebabs. All the food was great nothing to fault. Quick collections only took around 15 mins

Food was nice still few things need to be improved in grilled item

Food was very tasty and comforting

While I cannot comment on the food, I would heed extreme caution should you have any business with the owner. He is very unprofessional. He will cancel an appointment when you arrive. He has no courtesy or regard for your time.

I placed an order online then you have to call to confirm their bloody phone line don’t work

Great place to eat with Families or friends,mouth watering food and a great service....Khawar you smashed it mate.

Amazing food and service, the person who served us khawar was very kind and a nice individual.

The best service i have had it was my firt time here and was so delicious

Khawer our waiter gave great service 👍

Best in the house and Khawar is a gem of person and best in his job 👍 . Definitely coming back

Food from here is always delicious, real flavours and spices. The service is always amazing especially khawar who went above and beyond. Definitely recommended, will be back again!

Excellent karahi, pure desi taste both lamb and chicken. We also tried daal, which was great. The roti were fresh, warm, and mouth watering. The prices are very reasonable. The service was good. They can do better with the atmosphere. it felt cold sitting there. The food was nice.

Lovely Tawa for 2 though price was a little high for our liking, but food was nice and fresh.

Decent food, good size of tawa. There was 5 of us but we ordered tawa for 6 and food did finish easily so be aware. Curries are too saucy rather than home made taste.

Chapli kebab was very veryyyy dry. Dont listen proplery to orders.

Very nice restaurant 👌 great value for money and family's area available

Brilliant authentic Pakistani/afghani food. We always order the family meal which consists of 1kg Chicken Karahi, fries, wings, masala fish, 4 Sheesh kebab, 6 roti, salad, tarka daal and big bottle of pop. All this food for £40 which easily feeds a family of 6 with plenty left over. Brilliant value for money.

Perfect place with perfect food

No word to food very delicious and tasty very good service

We had a very bad experience, ordered Haleem which seems old and bitter taste. Owner started arguing, we had other food and asked to return Haleem, he was quite rude, said that once you order food I would charge even if you just taste it and didn’t like. Truly unprofessional behaviour. Wouldn’t recommend anyone going there.

Amazing food and service! one of the best curry's I've ever had! authentic !

Food is not good It not same before

It kinda okish places to eat price's are bit high for location

Customer service has become terrible taking wrong orders, and waiters are becoming angry and rude. The environment is dirty and needs updating as well with the waiters' clothings. Food quality has become terrible. I wouldn't recommend this place anymore.

great place for families, have separate section, they provide tapwater without even asking and don't try to force you to buy drinks, the lamb cholistani Karachi 1/2kilo I had was delicious although to much bone included at least 50%, my wife's butter chicken was generous, not really my cup of tea,they also gave free naans which was a result,overall good experience and well defo return.

People try Full Lamb leg & Rice from this place and you won't be disappointed. Delicious and reasonable price

I went to this restaurant with my friends on a Monday night. We ordered the lamb chops, lamb karahi, and roti. The lamb chops were not tasty; they were dry. The lamb karahi was okay, but it was a bit bland. The roti was really good; it was soft and fluffy. However, the restaurant was stinky, and I think they have hygiene issues. There was a strong smell of grease and food waste in the air. The tables were greased, too, and there was food on the floor.

Decent starters and good lamb karahi

Ordered a tawa for 2 Choice of chicken karahi or lamb karahi Chicken tikka,2 lamb chops,2 sheesh kebabs, 2 chicken wings, rice, fries, 2 roti, 1 naan, salad and you get 2 drinks We opted for the boneless lamb karahi which you pay a little extra for off the bone. Taste wise it was quite decent but unfortunately it was seeping with oil, as you can see with pictures attached. The sheesh kebabs tasted good, meat was nice n tender likewise the chicken tikka.

Nicely represented food looked really nice and photographable. Tasted 10/10 would definitely recommend. Come here often. Great family diner or a place to come with friends or alone. Has a seperated family area which is nice. Waiters are really helpful and check up on the tables a lot. Overall amazing experience.

Very expensive. Lotta for toilet.

زبردست نہاری Best nehari in walsall keep it up 👍 جزاک اللہ

Love this place. Top quality tasty authentic food...Home away from home.

I have tried Bakra meat here, really juicy and tandoori roti were really great..

The food was nice and delivered fast 😋. Best environment 👌

Excellent Customer Service, Best Mutton Karahi👌🏼

Great food, I had Goat karahi, Daal tadka and kashmir tea. Every thing was delicious. I especially liked the big size of roti, so really had a wholesome meal, which is quite rare here.

I bought lamb ribs take out yesterday, they was very hard and dry and the coating on them was extremely spicy... !! As you can imagine I was very disappointed...a dish I would not recommend to anyone .... !

Absolutely mouth watering food. Do visit it if you are a true foodie and love curries and barbecue. I loved their fried fish, very yummy and not at all heavy. Do try it on my recommendation 😉. Don't go for atmosphere. You will always remember the taste of food. Highly recommended. Thumbs up to the Dera Team. Ali was a considerate boy with a welcoming smile 😊.

Absolutely disgusting service, wouldn't have give 1 star. My daughter ordered food, and it never arrived, called deliveroo where they ordered it from to be told that the restaurant use their own drivers, called the restaurant and the manager spoke to me so rudely saying that they will not issue a refund, I asked what their customer service is and they put the phone down! In the end we had to go to the shop to get a refund and all of the staff was circling my husband and my 2 12 year old girls, in the end we got a tenner back from the 13 that they spent, disgusting.

My friend was looking forward to a Doner Kebab 🥙. He was very disappointed when they told him that they don't sell Doner Kebab. They sell everything from burgers to currys and peri peri chicken but no Doner Kebab. Ended up have Burger meals was nice. Just a bit standard. Price reasonable and open till 4am I think.

It does what it says on the tin

Amazing food . Price was very reasonable compared to other places.

Best Place to eat and value for money always? Try the tea excellent.

Good food , nice atmosphere, and friendly staff

Call in to get samosas and pokoras, always enjoy them, staff always friendly!

Excellent service and they are the class of Master chef ,, perfectly cooked foods

Best place for family out Comfortable private sitting

Bad a amazing dinner here. Lovely food. Njoyed alot absolutely best food

Lovely place to eat with friends and family. Food is great. Great food and service. Went as a party of 12 and we tried a different dish each. Food was piping hot and fresh, full of flavour and tasted great. Will be going back there again.

Awesome sitting area. Nice food pure pakistani taste . Only naan or roti was not up to expectation.

Food was delicious, need to upgrade the service as waiters and management are not friendly enough...hope they will improve... heating was was not working at all...

Nice and quiet family friendly atmosphere

100 Percent Recommend ✅ MY MOM IS NORMALLY NOT A BIG TAKEOUT FAN BECAUSE THEY DON'T COOK NICELY BUT I ORDERED FROM HERE THE FIRST TIME AND SHE LIKE IT AND SHE SAID IT WAS COOKED NICELY. I WOULD RECOMMEND EVERYONE IF THEY KEEP MAKING FOODS THE WAY THEY MADE FOR MY ORDER. I HAD NOTES IN MY ORDER AND THEY FOLLOWED PERFECTLY SO GREAT WORK THANK YOU, CHEFS FOR THE GREAT FOOD AND FOLLOWING NOTES.

Good customer service food is also great

Not a bad run of the mill local curry house,food is freshly cooked and tastes and looks homemade unlike something out of the jar.

Had the mixed grill tawa, food was tasty and fresh, could do with extra portions as not enough for a family of 5 as advertised, you will end up buying extras to fill you up.

Great chicken and lamb karahi albeit on the expensive side. Service was okay but the table wasn't that restaurant wasn't that clean..

Fantastic as always keep it up Family really enjoyed the meal and the service

Food was absolutely awful. The inside family hall looks run down. Also was charged £9 for a side dish this is more than fine dining prices. Now i see why they are not as busy as they use to be a few years ago

This restaurant is the most dishonest I have come across. First I ordered ordered lamb curry from them about 2 months ago and went to pick it up only to realise when I got home that they gave me chicken instead but I just left that. Then I ordered food again on Christmas Day at 2am while at work and was told that it will be delivered at 3am. I called back at 3:30am only to find the restaurant were closed for the night. I called them yesterday to ask for a refund as they never delivered my food but they argued that the driver went to deliver my food and apparently couldn’t reach both my phone numbers so he left it with the receptionist. There is no receptionist at 2am at my work place and I never received text or voicemail indicating they tried to call me. Now I think this restaurant makes a habit of cheating people of their money at every opportunity. The guy on the phone yesterday was shouting at me and telling me they delivered my food and won’t give me a refund which they never did. Avoid these cheaters at all cost!!!

Best restaurant in Walsall. Good fresh cooked food. good service.

This is our second visit to Dera Walsall. We ordered the tawa grill for 2. The food was well cooked and delicious. The price is also reasonable for the amount of food on the tawa. Service was excellent too. Would highly recommend this place.

Food was fresh and delicious we had tawa for 2 amazing

Although the food taste is good, however, the staff service is average. Not in a professional manner.

I can't believe the audacity of this place. I live a 5 min drive from the restaurant and they have the cheek to send me cold food that should have came off the grill. it's actually disgusting! there is some sort of charcoal/oil/water all in the food container.. like it's pre- cooked and been left to sweat the burn off of it. The fries are just cold and limp like the scraps off someone's plate, because it definitely wasn't a portion! I paid extra for a can of pop of my choice and they sent me the free option! I will never order from here again. I gave them a pass when i found a hair actually mixed in my sheesh kebab...but no i shall never order from here again! I can't even add a picture because my camera is broke!! I am so angry!!!!

Chicken Korma was RAW, every single piece of chicken looked like pork inside. 🐷🐷🐷🤢🤢🤢 1/2 KG Goat had leaked all in the bag!! 😡😡😡 And on top of all of that…. Our “FREE” Roti were missing!!! No wonder why they are “FREE” - And the worst thing about it all…. I booked a Uber to collect my food and drop it off to me because I was a bit too far for them to deliver. This is the reason I couldn’t check my order upon collection!! Wasted £49.95 on food + £15 taxi fare - Nevertheless at least my dog got a £65 meal of his life time, although he’ll probably have the shîts in the morning and he too will refuse to eat from this place next time!! - Everyone is raving about sultans next door which is definitely going to be a shout whenever we recover from this traumatic experience, which sadly may take some time

Good experience, Kebab in k love Hein aur fish to na Pocha Kamal hai Thank you Dera.

The food was gross, firstly I want to point out my MOLDY chicken tikka which Stunk like crazy, it was like they drenched it in chilli sauce and used that as marinate. Really recommend not to get your food from this shop especially getting it collected they couldn’t even speak English I went a few months ago and the tall young lad service was so good that I had to come back to a rubbish one

Ordered some food told us it would take 20mins, we gave them extra time by getting there 15 mins after and we was waiting another 15mins as food wasn't ready. But food was satisfactory on that day.

Burger was very well done which I never order them xtra well done. Burger slices was black

Was served really cold food and the waiter said he can't do anything about it, haven't been there since. Customer service needs improving here drastically!

Very happy with the food on the menu lot of different dishes to choose from. The deco is brillant with warm feel to it. When ever i go dera it puts a smile on my face, the staff are very friendly and polite. Really nice place to go with family and friends for a night out.
