  Went there for their lohri lunch. Great experience with great food. The ambiance and decor was really good with proper lohri theme. Food items included makki di roti and sarso da saag with bhite butter and jaggery. The main attraction of lohri festival. Loved the food and the experience. Must visit.

  The elegant Indian Restaurant with inviting ambience Dera – A Top Indian Restaurant in Chandigarh with ambience with its split level design, warm lighting, a busy show kitchen and a fun interactive counter. The hotel is one of the finest luxury hotels in Chandigarh. Located in the heart of the city, at Sector 17, the property is close to all major shopping hubs and business centre’s and a famous all time favorite destination for many of the Film stars, Politicians and Government Officials. Rich and Elegant interiors with Curved Glass walls. This is Luxury at its finest with the staff ever-ready and delighted to serve you. I recently got a chance to try their new dinner menu and here is my review regarding it.Event & Ambiance: – Sizzling Friday Night. Dera has recently launched a special sizzling Friday night menu with unlimited starters, main course and desserts. The Special Menu is for both vegetarians and non vegetarians costing Rs 1550/- and Rs 1750/- respectively. The ambiance is amazing with a live flute music played by a professional that brings back the feel of fine dining.Food: Lavish and cooked to perfection. The best thing is Taj has inbuilt kitchen where they make their own spices and other mandatory essential cooking products, which is one of the main reason behind the perfect taste in the food.It started with a welcome drink. I tried their Sweet Lassi which was very refreshing and thick. Moving on too Appetizers we had Tehdaar Panner Tikka(melts in your mouth), Bharwan Khumb Kali Mirch, Dahi Kay Shole (Highly recommended) and Aloo Nazakat served in a hot sizzler. Dahi Kay Shole – One of the best, I have ever had. Though I am not a mushroom lover but Bharwan Khumb Kali Mirch served at Dera made me fall in love with mushroom. Panner Tikka was also good. I also tried one of their famous Non Alcoholic Cockatil – Kaali (The Digestive dad of all the lemonades, the magic of angostura bitter, ginger ale, cumin, honey black pepper & lemonade) which tasted amazing and is highly recommended. The other options in drinks were Lava Green, Coco Loco, Fresh Lime Black or White, Strawberry Delight, Flavored Iced Tea, Angelina and Island Cooler.In the main course we had Paneer Long Latta, Kathal Masala, Handi Dal, Jeera & Pyaaz Pulao, Aloo Pudine ka Raita served with Assorted Breads. Panner Long Latta and Handi Dal were made to perfection with perfect balance of spices and flavors. Generally people of my age don’t prefer eating Dal but believe me they have best dal J. Pulao (Basmati Rice) was perfectly cooked. In the breads their Laccha Paratha & Butter naan is recommended.Coming to desserts we were served Shan-e-Dera and Moong Dal  Halwa. I picked the Moong Dal Halwa made with pure desi ghee J  and I loved it. I was completely full otherwise I would have pick one more bowl of Moong Dal Halwa J I really loved the presentation of food served in Thali giving a traditional and homely feel . Overall a great place with luxury ambience, great food, friendly & supportive staff . A experience never to forget. Thanks Team Dera for being a great host!I’ll be back with my friends and family. Cheers! 🙂
