In the heart of Durham Region, Milanu’s Tandoori Grill has carved out a flavorful reputation as one of the most beloved — and awarded — Indian restaurants in the area. With a flagship location in Pickering and a loyal fan base stretching into Ajax and beyond, Milanu’s isn’t just a place to eat — it’s a destination for anyone craving a true taste of India. Whether you’re a long-time lover of Indian cuisine or a curious newcomer, Milanu’s offers an experience that blends tradition, variety, and innovation — all served with the warmth of Indian hospitality.
A Celebration of Indian Cuisine — Veg & Non-Veg Delights
At Milanu’s, we believe Indian food is for everyone. Our vegetarian menu is rich, flavorful, and far from an afterthought. From our creamy Paneer Butter Masala to smoky Tandoori Soya Chaap, we offer meat-free dishes that satisfy even the most devoted carnivores. Love South Indian flavors? Try our crispy dosas or coconut-laced vegetable curries.
Prefer non-veg? You’re in for a treat. Our legendary Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, and Lamb Rogan Josh are staples for a reason — marinated for hours and cooked to perfection in our traditional clay tandoor ovens. We also offer seafood lovers plenty of choices, including our spicy Fish Masala and prawn specialties.
🍚 Biryani & Rice Dishes: Aromatic, Authentic, Addictive
Ask any regular at Milanu’s what keeps them coming back, and chances are the answer includes our biryani. This slow-cooked rice dish, layered with fragrant spices and tender meat or vegetables, is a cornerstone of Indian cuisine — and we take it seriously.
Try our Chicken Dum Biryani, Lamb Biryani, or Veg Biryani, all served with raita and bursting with flavor. For those who prefer milder fare, our Jeera Rice or Peas Pulao pairs beautifully with rich curries.
🥟 Craving Something Different? Try Our Chinese & Momos
Milanu’s isn’t just about Indian food — we also celebrate the flavors of Indo-Chinese cuisine, a spicy, savory fusion that’s wildly popular across India. Think crispy Chili Paneer, Hakka Noodles, and tangy Manchurian dishes that combine the best of both worlds.
And for something truly unique, don’t miss our steamed or fried momos — these Himalayan-style dumplings are packed with flavorful fillings and served with spicy chutneys. They’re a hit with kids, teens, and anyone who loves bite-sized comfort food.
🍹 Beverages to Complement Every Bite
Every great meal deserves a great drink. At Milanu’s, we offer a range of traditional Indian beverages and refreshing modern options to balance out the bold flavors of our food.
Cool off with a glass of sweet or salty lassi, enjoy the tang of our mango lassi, or cleanse your palate with a hot cup of masala chai. We also offer soft drinks and fruit juices, making it easy to find the perfect pairing for your meal.
🍨 Don’t Skip Dessert: A Sweet Finish to Your Spice Journey
No Indian meal is complete without a touch of sweetness, and Milanu’s desserts deliver comfort and decadence in every bite. Favorites like Gulab Jamun, Rasmalai, and Kheer offer the perfect ending to your feast. Made in-house with authentic recipes, our desserts are not overly sweet — just rich enough to satisfy your cravings.
🏆 More Than a Meal — An Award-Winning Experience
It’s not just the food that sets Milanu’s Tandoori Grill apart — it’s the entire experience. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with warm service, cozy decor, and a sense that you’re somewhere special.
Our awards reflect the hard work of our kitchen and front-of-house teams, as well as the support of our loyal customers. Being recognized as one of the best Indian restaurants in Pickering and a top dining destination for Ajax food lovers is an honor we don’t take lightly.
