Bbq Lounge On Lygon

Very good, authentic, Pakistani food. We got the Family platter and it was well worth it and fair prices. The BBQ was great but the Shinwari Karahi was amazing. The Naan was fresh and fluffy (we got some garlic naan and there was too much garlic, like a garlic paste on top). Overall great spot for families and Halal food with parking right in front as well.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BBQ Lounge Lygon (Brunswick) Absolutely loved this spot! If you’re craving authentic Pakistani/Indian flavours, this place really delivers. The kebabs are the highlight — fresh off the grill, smoky, juicy and full of flavour. You can really tell everything is marinated properly and cooked with care. We tried the mixed BBQ platter and it came out sizzling hot — the seekh kebabs were tender, the chicken tikka was super fragrant, and the lamb chops had that perfect char. Their naan is soft and fluffy too (not dry like other places). I also appreciate that it’s halal and still keeps that proper traditional taste — feels like something you would get in Karachi/Lahore, not a watered-down version. Portions are generous and pricing is very reasonable for the quality. The staff were warm and welcoming, and the vibe is relaxed — perfect for late-night catch ups, casual dinner, or a family meal. If you’re into grilled meats, smoky flavour, and real desi spices, this is definitely a must try in Brunswick. Will be back for sure!

The food is amazing. Authentic pakistani food. Loved their bbq, chinese, daal and newly launched tawa chicken. Chicken karahi was also amazing. We really enjoyed the food. One of the best pakistani restaurant in melbourne. And their service is amazing too the staff and owner himself was so humble and so nice to us. Even best for small events.

I had chicken biryani and lamb mince roll from this place and it was good. Biryani was plain and simple with generous serving size. Lamb mince kebab roll was amazing. They always provide buy 1 get extra item free on uber eats which is a bargain. Thankyou so much

First time we came to BBQ lounge at Lygon st after reading so many good reviews. We ordered nihari, cheese handi , chicken biryani and naan. The service was slow and we had to wait for 30-35min for complete order to arrive. Meanwhile we ordered fries for the kids which also came 5 -7 min before actual order. But when our order arrived, everything was fresh, outstanding and unbeatable taste of cheese handi and nihari. I have tried almost all the desi restaurants (big or small) here and I can definitely say that BBQ Lounge Lygon st serves the best Nihari in Melbourne! Biryani was very tasty, spicy and bit oily too. Cheese Handi has a very unique taste....tender chicken meat melting in mouth and the handi masala was just full of flavour! They serve very generous portions of food dishes at very reasonable prices...infact they have the best rates. The quality and taste is unmatchable!!

Incredible experience of having a genuine Pakistani breakfast. They serve buffet which means the food is ready for you to dive into as soon as you walk in and get a table. They have pleeeeenntyyyy of seating so no question of not being able to find a table. The food was fresh, and the taste was amazing. The puris were fresh and crunchy. Tea and lassi also included which is usually additional cost at other restaurants. Price was very reasonable for a buffet and for a a family of 2 adults and 2 kids you only pay $80. They didn’t charge us for our 5yo even though he did have a little bit of food. If you’re after a peaceful good quality Pakistani breakfast without the chaos of waiting for a table and then waiting for your food, then look no further. Overall, I’d be coming back here.
