Apna Dera & Mister Dee’s (Halal, Pakistani, Indian, Bangladeshi & Afghani Restaurant) — Restaurant in Town of Cheektowaga

The food is always excellent. This is genuinely one of the most beautiful restaurants I have been in as well. The service is lovely. Let's talk about what we ordered for tonight's dinner:

Nihari: a thick beef stew that pairs well with the naan. Want something spicy and warm for a cold night? This, or the chicken haleem, which we have tried previously, are the curries to have. This comfortably served 4.

Chicken Karahi: flavorful and spicy chicken cooked to perfection. The meat simply falls off the bone. It is cooked with tomato, peppers, and onions. We ordered this because my brother does not like Nihari, but there was enough for everyone to enjoy as well even though we had gotten a half.

Plain Naan: naans baked in a tandoor oven have a fluffiness and texture that can't be initiated elsewhere. Likewise, the Apna Dera Naan was all this and more. I've been to many desi/ South Asian restaurants in the Western New York area but these have to be some of the best naans I have ever had.

Paratha: we ordered this late but this flatbread was flaky but hot and the crunch was a great texture change from the softness of the naan. Paired excellently with the Karahi.

Kheer: this was provided as a compliment from the chef and none of us had any room for dessert (or so we thought) so imagine our surprise when the service approached us with an entire dish of Kheer. Kheer is a milk dessert similar to rice pudding, and it wasn't as sweet as I had expected. An unexpected but satisfying way to end our evening at Apna Dera.

I can't wait to go back again with my friends this...

Apna Dera Restaurant – A Culinary Gem in Buffalo, NY!

If you're looking for an authentic and unforgettable Pakistani dining experience in Buffalo, NY, look no further than Apna Dera Restaurant! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warm hospitality and top-notch service that made us feel right at home.

Now, let's talk about the food – absolutely phenomenal! We indulged in their Beef Karahi and Chicken Karahi, both bursting with rich, aromatic spices and cooked to perfection. The meat was tender, flavorful, and paired beautifully with their buttery, flaky Roghni Naan, which was simply out of this world.

Their Chicken Biryani was another highlight—fragrant, perfectly spiced, and loaded with layers of flavor that transported us straight to the streets of Lahore. Every bite was a delight, and the portions were generous enough to satisfy even the heartiest appetites.

The service was nothing short of excellent—friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The staff ensured we had everything we needed and made our dining experience even more enjoyable.

Apna Dera is truly a hidden gem that deserves all the praise! Whether you're craving authentic Pakistani cuisine or looking for a place that serves delicious, heartwarming food, this is the spot to visit. Highly recommended, and we can't wait to return for another...

Apna Dera catered the food for my Valima in Rochester, NY and they did an excellent job! Everybody enjoyed the food at our event and were very complimentary. They especially liked the Chicken 65 dish that we had as an appetizer and the Chicken Tikka in the main course.

We had them make some specialty dishes including Nihari and Bihari Kabab which were also delicious and up to the standard that we expected for a wedding/Valima event. We actually met with their managing director (Shireen) and chef (Mr. Kadim) a couple times at their restaurant before our event to select the dishes we wanted and make sure they prepared it well. They took our feedback and made sure the food they prepared for the Valima was worthy of a prestigious event.

The food they catered was delicious and plentiful. We were concerned that the food would run short and they assured us that it would be enough and it was! There was plenty of food leftover after our event that we took home and happily ate over the following few weeks. The food still tasted good even after a while.

I would highly recommend Apna Dera Restaurant for catering your party. They did a...
