    When it comes to eating out in Oslo, there are precious few restaurants that offer authentic glimpses into a particular cuisine. More often than not the restaurants "dumb down" the flavours so as not to offend the slowly evolving palate of former full-time potato gurglers. To go from a grind of pepper to eating a true vindaloo is a jump people have to attempt gradually. The problem with a nation of baby-step takers, is that if someone makes authentic food, it's generally complained about and left to cater to immigrants or expats or people from ethnic backgrounds that crave those flavours. I am one of those. Having spent my childhood in India and visited Pakistan three times, I regularly get rabid pangs for tasty, flavourful curries. Lahoree Dera has been a long-term staple for me after the fussy, overpriced stench of Indian restaurants in Oslo had worn off. To walk into the spartan L-shaped restaurant complete with it's countertop for ready-made curries, the two backroom dining rooms and the windows looking out onto life passing by Grønlands multi-cultural root. More often than not I order the Fresh Lamb Karahi, but today was Saag Gosht. I must quickly add a disclaimer to those vegetable-lovers who balk at the sight of slayed flesh, this place is not for you. Whilst the Pakistani's are masters of manipulating meat, they suffer greatly in the perfection of elevating vegetables. Their Indian cousins to the East have got that covered. Eating at Lahoree Dera is not going to bankrupt you, the portions are gigantic, and the service is non-existant. You order at the counter, tap your card and take a seat. Two minutes later a mountain of food arrives ready to be devoured. Over the past decade, I have tried most things on the menu and have rarely been disappointed. Don't come here expecting elevated Asian cuisine, this is basic, bold and comforting home cooking. The curries are oily, but then again every place I ate in Pakistan did not hold back either. This is the way they eat, and if you don't like it you can go to some hip spot that panders to the ill-informed. Come here to try real Pakistani food, cooked consistently well, that's cheap and delicious. It is not one of those restaurants that you judge based on the service, ambiance, music, wine-list or other inconsequential frivolities; this is purely about experiencing and enjoying real Pakistani food in the heart of Oslo. If you think this is mediocre or overrated, then i'm afraid you just don't like real Pakistani food.. it's as simple as that.

    The food was tasty. The taste was definitely very similar to the small food places in Pakistan (so authentic taste). If you are low on budget, this is a relatively cheap place according to Norway's standards. The ambiance is not the best, but it is expected considering the price range.

    Authentic Pakistani food, affordable prices. It's a loud and a little chaotic place. Don't expect fancy dining. Have tried their lamb nihari, lamb curry, chicken tikka, chicken curry, chapli kebab, palak chicken, peshawari naan and qeema naan. All were great. Haleem was pretty average. Recommend it for the taste and price.

    The chicken biriyani was so flavorful, every bite was mouthwatering. The chicken Tikka was also fabulous. The sheekh kabab had no taste, lacked salt. But the atmosphere is really good and the people are really nice there.

    Really easy and laid back place. Good food, decent price. I went 'off menu' at the recommendation of the people working there, and was a bit more expensive than I thought. But still nice!

  • 5/5 sajjad a. 10 months ago on Google
    Came to Oslo from Stockholm and tried few other Indian/pakistan restaurant. It was the most authentic and tastiest food we have tried outside Pakistan. Super amazing and delicious Biryani! Thali was good. It was a whole great experience that took us back to the streets of Lahore. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Ahmed F. 1 year ago on Google
    Had seekh kabab, malai tikka and lamb gravy. They all were really good along with rice and naan. I would highly recommend the place if you want to have Pakistani and halal food.

  • 1/5 Ziyad Q. 1 year ago on Google
    I had one of the worst curries of my life here. The so called chicken was just tendons and bones and the curry lacked any flavour and was basically just oil. They are really doing a disservice to Pakistani cuisine.

  • 5/5 Aayush A. 1 year ago on Google • 1 review
    I recently visited this restaurant and was really impressed by the variety of flavors and dishes on the menu. As someone from South-Asia, I was familiar with some of the dishes on offer, but there were also many new and exciting options to try. One of the dishes that really stood out to me was the biryani. It was filled with tender pieces of meat and fragrant spices that left a delicious taste in my mouth. I also enjoyed the chicken tikka masala, which had a creamy tomato-based sauce and a perfect balance of flavor. One thing that I found particularly interesting was the use of spices in the Pakistani cuisine. The flavors were bold and aromatic, and I could taste the careful blend of spices in every bite. I also tried some new dishes that I had never had before, such as the lamb nehari and the lamb karahi. Both were excellent and left me wanting more. The lamb karahi was a hearty stew with tender pieces of lamb. Overall, I had a great experience at Lahori Dera Tandoori. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a taste of authentic Pakistani cuisine.
