Is the Food at Biryani Lounge Worth the Drive to Milton?

Hello! I’m Aleena, and I’m someone who takes her food seriously. Especially when it comes to Indian cuisine—and more specifically, biryani. So when I kept hearing people rave about Biryani Lounge in Milton, I finally decided to take the trip myself. I live about 30 minutes away, but hey, when food is good, distance doesn't matter, right?
I’m writing this as an honest review for others like me who are wondering if the food at Biryani Lounge is really worth the hype—or the drive. Spoiler alert: it is!
๐ฅ First Impressions
The restaurant is located at 22 Ontario St S, Milton, ON L9T 2M6, in the heart of Milton. The place is easy to spot and has a warm, welcoming vibe. It’s not too flashy—but that’s what I loved. It feels authentic.
I was greeted by friendly staff and guided through the menu when I told them it was my first time. The menu isn’t overwhelming, but it’s filled with all the classic Indian and South Indian dishes you’d hope to find.
๐ Let’s Talk About the Food
Now for the best part—the food. I tried a few items and here's my honest take:
๐ธ Chicken Dum Biryani
Absolutely aromatic, cooked to perfection, and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. The rice was long-grained and layered with masala just right—not too spicy, not too bland. Easily among the best biryanis I’ve had in Ontario.
๐ธ Tandoori Appetizer
I ordered the Chicken Tikka, and it was smoky, tender, and just spicy enough to get your tastebuds going. Loved the mint chutney that came with it.
๐ธ Paneer Butter Masala & Garlic Naan
I couldn't resist trying a vegetarian dish too. The paneer was soft and the gravy rich and creamy—exactly what you'd want from a good Indian curry. And the naan? Fluffy and garlicky. Yum!
๐ What Stood Out
-
Authenticity: The food tastes homemade, not overly commercialized or toned down.
-
Portions: Generous servings—especially the biryani, which was easily enough for two people.
-
Service: The staff was polite and gave great recommendations.
-
Cleanliness: The restaurant was clean and organized, and the kitchen looked well-maintained.
๐ A Must-Visit Indian Restaurant in Milton
If you’re craving halal Indian food, South Indian dishes, or just really good biryani—this is the place. I’ve tried several Indian restaurants around the GTA, but Biryani Lounge Milton truly stands out for both taste and hospitality.
Whether you're visiting from Mississauga, Brampton, Oakville, or even Toronto—it’s worth the drive. The restaurant is close to Milton GO Station and easy to find, which makes it even more convenient.
✅ My Final Thoughts
Would I go again? Absolutely. In fact, I already plan to bring my family next time. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a relaxed dinner, try something new, and leave feeling completely satisfied.
