We were looking for a quick spot for dinner after an escape room and loved it here at Bar B Q Tonite. It doesn't look super fancy but it was busy inside at around 6:30pm and there is a medium sized private parking lot beside it. We ordered the Bar B Q Tonite platter which had 3-4 of each type of Kebab or fish. This came with 4 naan. We also ordered the lamb biriyani and a paneer and dal. These were pretty decently sized and for 4 people we were super full at the end. Pricing is very reasonable for the portion, each of us paid around $25 including everything. Service was great, waiters were nice and came to check on us a couple of times in case we needed anything. Definitely satisfied our cravings for Pakistani/Indian food. read more

Checked and lamb biryani are good but prices have gone up steadily since we first went Karahi ghosht is also more fatty lately. Since expanding the place has lost consistency read more

Amazing food. Great taste and excellent value. I strongly recommend this place if you're in the area

BBQ Tonite is the best spot to get original Pakistani style Barbecue! We drive all the way from Scarborough to dine here because we know theres no decent Pakistani BBQ spots anywhere in Markham or Ajax, Mississauga is definitely where it's at! Make sure you try their Bihari Kabab and Chicken Boti, both are really good. Their Lamb Chops are also really good, but unfortunately rather expensive for the amount of chops you get. Their Chicken Biryani is not good so definitely steer clear of any non-BBQ items since that is not their specialty. I've also tried their Tarka Dal which is delicious as well. Lastly, when you go make sure you get ONLY GARLIC NAAN! Their original "butter" naans aren't even real naan's - they look like frozen roti. Their garlic naan however looks like a fresh tandoori roti and tastes absolutely DELICIOUS! read more

I ordered from Uber Eats and was very excited to try this place. The presentation was messy, but that's normal for delivery. The reason I'm writing this review is because the food was just not good and had to throw it away. One of the chicken dishes was filled with bones and burnt wings. A lot of people do not want animal bones in their mouth, especially when the menu doesn't warn you that an item is bone-in. The other chicken dish, butter chicken, was more like a soupy mess that tasted like spaghetti-o's. The chunks of chicken had a lot of fat and gristle. The third dish was Kahari Chicken. The flavor was good but I found a hair in it. That was when I had enough, bagged it all up, walked outside my hotel and threw it in an outside trash can. This place was an expensive disappointment. I can not recommend read more

I found the food to be super! However, the only thing for me is the spice level. As I don't mind spicy food, it was ok. We did go for mild but it was still spicy (and quite hard to finish because I don't enjoy the food as much when it's super spicy). But, I am a huge fan of their mango lassi and that was probably the one thing that saved me. We ordered the biryani, butter chicken, naan and some other dishes. The wait for the food was also a bit long, but we had a very nice waiter. read more

So let me sum this up! Y U C K First, the person on the phone has zero, I mean zero etiquette. If they read this they'd probably have to google etiquette. Next, I saw a man, the chef, emerge from a ladies washroom, not wear his mask and go into the kitchen. Third, no one in the kitchen wears masks. They just hang them around the chin. I have a good mind to report them. Lastly, the food. Oily as hell. There's oil and there's meat. There's nothing else. Do yourself a favour and go to a proper Indian restaurant and please don't judge South East Asian food by the goop they serve. Never, ever, again. read more

Their kababs are mouthwateringly delicious!!!! The place is very busy.... you may have to wait in queue for quite long, and the food takes another 20~30 minutes to come to your table. But this wait is definitely worth... the food is delicious!! The tastes are quite different from the other kaboob places in GTA. We ordered Behari Kabab... well-marinated beef, cooked on charcoal fire and served on a sizzling platter. Also had Maghaz Masala (cow brain, cooked with spices), this one is quite rare to find in GTA I believe. The service is good, the servers are very attentive and prompt. From the parking lot you can get the appetizing aroma of the kababs... I would suggest, take off your jackets and keep them in the car. read more

The food isn't bad but be prepared to wait for a minimum of ONE HOUR, no matter what you order! We waited 2 hours and they didn't even put our order in But yes, sometimes their food makes up for the long wait to the table or looking wait for food. You just have to be proactive lol. I recommend the bbq items, nihari and fish. Do not try the charga! Dry ! And not that good. Their items are also pretty expensive but it's ok for a one time thing every now and then read more

We weren't expecting much from Bar B Q Tonite as the reviews weren't great. We ordered: Seekh Kabob Chicken Boti (tandoori chicken but boneless) Lamb Biryani Naan All of the items were fantastic. They were spicy (which I like!) and flavours gelled well with the biryani. The biryani felt like something I'd have in India (which is really hard to find here in Toronto/GTA). The BBQ items were delish (Seekh Kabob, Boti and Naan). The Lamb Biryani had a lot of masala (onion and saucy mixture) which is exactly how biryanis should be in my opinion! I wish there was one closer to me in Toronto but I'm kind of glad it's in Mississauga since I won't be tempted! Can't wait to try this again! read more

This is my go-to place for authentic Pakistani and indian (hyderabadi) cuisine and i would rate the biryani the best in GTA. I tried the kadai lamb with butter naan and lacchha parantha. Though on the spicy side, the mutton is sumptuous and cooked to perfection with perfect blend of spices and the aroma amplifies the hunger. Chicken biryani is as Hyderbadi as it can get served with mirchi salan, raiti and salad. I have tried the mutton biryani too which is just as good. This place has a good range of beef kebabs and bihari kebab is quite liked. Not really a place for vegetarians though the new branch has a few veggie options on the menu Recommended : chicken/lamb biryani, seekh kebab, lahori fish Cost for two : Reasonably priced, about $35 for two. read more

Best Biryani in Mississauga for dine in:) Ask for "Mirchi ka salan" with biryani if you want to experience authentic Hyderabad style biryani. Visited for lunch. I've been here for dinner as well but sadly there's a long wait on weekends. They should open up the patio and seat ppl there indeed of using it as waiting room. But I'm sure it's got something to do with the city. read more

Visited them last weekend. It's located on Dundas/Hurontario and has a private parking lot with ample parking. Decor-wise the place is nothing to look at. The service was below par. But the food was fantastic. We tried Bihari Kebabs, Reshmi kebabs, Tandoori Chicken legs and Lamb Karahi along with butter naans. All the dishes were on point. The kebabs (Reshmi and Bihari both) were one the best I've had in my life. Tandoori Chicken legs were okay. Lamb Karahi and Butter naans were very good as well. It was a little pricey but totally worth it. read more

I usually don't go to Pakistani/Indian food restaurant ls as my mom makes better food. I came here because if a family event, 15 of us in total. The first thing I noticed were the prices. They seemed fairly cheap to me: most dishes were around $10. We ordered about $250 worth of food, which was way more than needed. We ended up taking 25% of the food home. The highlight was their kebab platter for four ($40). It contained a variety of meat (chicken seekh kebab, beef seekh kebab, chapli kebab, fish) and four naans. There naans are massive and tasty. The other high light was their maghaaz which had great Masala and was cooked well. The downsides was that their curries and their chargha were not good at all. We had pretty much 2 full chargha left out of 3 that we ordered. It was extremely over cooked. read more

This was my 3rd visit merely due to the convenience of parking and the location they offer. I must say I am very disappointed. My bill was slightly over 100 dollars for 2 people, which is fine however for 100 dollars I expect a better meal. This is not authentic Pakistani cuisine so please stop advertising that. (One of the item in my order was nihari) Old, microwaved, simply bad. Chops (Not bad) - stop using meat tenderizer please. Overall Food quality and freshness 0 Presentation -1 Meat quality poor 0 Price they are charging dine-in price for take out menu 0 Customer service 2 Following covid regulations NO Not sure what to say to them, they are not providing restaurant-quality food for the price that is being charged. I will not be visiting again. read more

This restaurant is in the heart of my hometown/birthplace of Mississauga, Ontario at Hurontario and Dundas. We had dinner here last night and really enjoyed it! We had saag lamb, prawn curry and chicken biryani with garlic naan. Portions were generous and so tasty! No one-note butter chicken here. Every dish was nuanced with layers of spices and I really enjoyed everything! Service was great: attentive but not rushed. A note: the restaurant could do with higher ceilings so as to dissipate the smoke from the grilled meat that they bring to the table, sizzling hot, on cast iron pans. We didn't have room to try that but it gives me a reason to go back. Parking: the east side of the restaurant is a bit close but if you reverse into your spot, it's easier to get out. There are some spaces on the west side, apparently, but I didn't get a close look. read more

Every time we've been here the kebabs are really delicious and a great combination of spicy and soft but not too mushy. They are very tasty and we always have a great time when we come. We've been a few times with family to the larger location but came to the smaller one with just my husband. We were lucky enough to get seated soon after since we had called in and made a reservation. The food was good but sometimes the prices can get a little steep. read more

Made a quick stop for lunch with coworkers. There were very few parking spots up front, luckily we car pooled! Been here a couple of times before. The service received definitely improved! Much more friendly!! We ordered garlic naan and regular naan, pretty standard quality and cost. We also got the fish pakora, lamb biryani and kebabs. The fish pakora was pretty good, it was my favorite dish hands down. It might have been a little too greasy to some, perfect for me! Suggestion to the owner. The patio was pretty much used as storage, what a pity. It has good potential to be converted to more dinning space for when the weather is nice. Overall it was good. I'd go back and try some of the other dishes fellow Yelpers suggested. read more

The best Northren Indian/Pakistani grill house in town! This is the real deal, don't come here for upscale vibes and nice decorated orientalist rugs. Come here for delicious food and fast and welcoming service! The biryany is to kill for, same goes for Bihari and Rishmi Kebabs and maghaz masala( cow brain). My only hints here are: Skip the Naan bread and go in a big group so you can order family style and taste different things read more

Good Food and Lots of Wait !! This place has good food but really there's a lot of wait, to that extent that you could be waiting for over an hour. The place is small and cramped up, so would not recommend for groups. We did take out, placed the order at 0650pm, was told it would take half hour. We ordered Chicken Boti with Butter Naan, Chicken Karahi, Chicken Biryani and 1 Extra Butter Naan. So I reached at 0745, almost an hour late only to know the order was not ready yet. In the meantime another customer came and was quarreling asking to speak to manager, he was told Nihari was available and an hour later when he came to pick up, he was told its finished and they don't have any. The wait time for dine in close to 45mins, the staff is cooperative and tries to accommodate to their best. There is no designated waiting area and with the little space, it can be difficult with kids. The parking area is also very small so it's better to park in the opposite the street Centre area. I realized this 20 mins after maneuvering my car around. Finally After waiting for another 45mins, I got my order. The food was good, Chicken Karahi was great, best was the Chicken Boti, chunks of Chicken Marinated in great spices. The disappointment was the Biryani, didn't like it much, too much cardamom and have had far better ones. Price wise the place is nominal and the food provides the cost value, just not the time value. Ambience - 2/5 Food - 3.5/5 Service - 2/5 Would do take out but not recommend for dine in !! read more

This review applies for the take out food section only. I was invited by some friends to try this spot at their place. I was intrigued as this spots claim to fame is authentic BBQ from the land of the pure (Pakistan). I was lucky enough to tag along for the pickup. The initial impression I got was this is your typical any town Canada restaurant with a nondescript exterior. When one goes in your impression does change as they have an open kitchen which can be a bad thing if you ask me. In the few minutes I spent there I found the place to be quite hot and ambiance is not particularly inviting (read this is by no means a fancy place). The smell of spices does permeate the air so if you are not used to it be prepared. I had a chance to pick up their menu and found it to be quite authentic and full of Pakistani BBQ dishes (without opening a Pandora box read there were quite a few beef dishes here as opposed the other BBQ places you visit in from sub continent) My hosts had pre-orded the following Bihari Kebab, Reshmi kebab, chana masala, raita, salad and some nans. Bihari Kebab (beef) was the star here very authentic with the melt in the mouth feel as the meat was marinated and spiced very well. Full marks here. Reshmi Kebab (ground chicken) was OK but I am not a fan of this kebab as ground chicken IMO doesn't belong on the grill. Devoid of much taste but its due to the meat being used and not due to the lack of spices. Not my cup of tea. Chana Masala was quite hot and made everyone reach for the water half way. I enjoyed this dish as they didn't pull any punches here and this one packed a wallop quite authentic IMO. Nan bread were just so so , I guess the time from the oven to ride home didn't do it justice as this bread is supposed to be eaten fresh. Salad and Raita was just run of the mill stuff. Folks this place is quite authentic and is worth the drive from TO IMO. I will be back to try the other stuff as apparently the fish is quite good and maybe even try the Bar BQ Tonite platter (yes they do spell it that way on their menu :) as one can get a bit of everything. read more

The Chicken Boti or Butter Chicken w/ their Garlic Naan are must try dishes for anyone stopping by. Would have given 5 stars if it was only the food, but their service is average. Not bad, but nothing special. Their coal oven adds a distinct taste, which I like, that I haven't had anywhere else. Anybody that's interested in or wanting to try Indian/Pakistani food need to come here. read more

Zero distancing during COVID.. Poor management by the staff. The patrons are just downright ignorant. No distancing. Some even forgot to wear masks. Isn't that the law? So this place is openly violating the health measures. No wonder there is an increase in the Peel region in terms of cases. This is my favorite place for kebabs and curries. I won't go there again. Team BBQ tonite, please fix this for all our sakes, as well as yours! read more

This would be a 2.5 stars location but the food is 4 stars! The place is great for meat lovers... as the meat is grilled to the perfect level using charcoal and you can see them cooking live. I have tired their Seekh Kabab with hot Naan. The Kabab was made from ground beef marinated in awesome spices over open charcoal fire. The food is great and enjoyable. The place is where the location lost 2.5 stars... The tables were still dirty, the carpet is worn down and the restaurant needs a uplift. The outside seating area is covered by a old dirty furniture. Certainly, this will not be a place you visit for the atmosphere and looking at the surrounding I would question the hygiene of the restaurant. All in all food is great but the place not so much! For my Muslim folks -They serve halal meat read more

I went there around 9:30, they supposedly close 10:30 and, even though they had few empty tables, I was told they were booked. I sat on my car for 5 min to look for another place. A very rude guy showed up honking and came to my window give me shit because I was parked in the "owner and staff parking spot". Then I said "there's no sign, how I'm supposed to know that?" And he rudely responded "I know there's no sign, but now next time you know, don't park there" I said "I'm, for sure, not coming back" So even though the reviews about the food are good, if you care about service, this is not the place. read more

Food was just amazing. Chicken biryani with Salan was the best.So was paneer saag if you have a vegetarian friend accompanying you. Very limited vegetarian options but again you can't expect the same at a bbq place. I would have given 4 stars as the service was great , staff friendly, and food awesome and not too expensive as well. However the place was dirty. Floor was very unclean and greasy and so was the washroom which was stinking. They just need to work on this part. Kitchen seemed clean as you could see it from glass window . My next visits will only be for take outs. read more

2.5-3* is about right. Stopped by to pick up a Chicken Biryani for a potluck with some friends. (Was going to go to a $5 joint, but the snow prevented me from doing more driving!) When I told the man behind the counter that I thought the Biryani was a bit expensive, at $8.99, he tried to justify it by saying that they use really high quality rice. He also said that he wouldn't charge me tax + he included another green chilli oil sauce to add spice to the dish. He also promised that if I loved their biryani, I'd be back! I should've eaten more of it, but I thought it was pretty good. Would I have known the difference between the $5 vs. this place? Probably not. Portion was the same size. Verdict? Good Chicken Biryani. Atmosphere itself seems slightly on the dinge-side. read more

Although the location itself is small and tight - the food and service was good. It seems as if the location is always filled with people, the tables and walls are not the cleanest. The food however was REALLY good - the kabobs, naan, butter chicken and chicken boti were absolutely delicious. The service was also good, not amazing but good. I'd recommend taking the food home and enjoying it. read more

Worst customer service and tasteless food. My friend had ordered a coke tin to give him at the end of his dinner , but the server got immediately before the main dish came and he was asking him to drink whenever you want ‍. Will never eat again at this place. read more

Yesterday i was there and heard so much about place for specialize in making Hyderabadi Briyani. Unfortunately, i was very disappointed after i took to go 2 plate lamb briyani and 1 plate beef kabob and extra one kebab and naan. Briyani was sold for $14 and Kebab plate sold for $11 ( 2 pieces with 1 naan) this was my second and last stop here. Briyani quantity was much less and amount of meat they put not worth for $14 for sure, the taste also matter with this much price, i feel this they are over charging and providing very quantity. Kebab plate = $11.00, 2 pieces of kabob and one naan and some raw onion on below. Are you kidding taking $11.00 for this stuff not even worth for $8.00, no chuttney, no salad nothing, just 2 pieces of kabob and one naan and some raw onion for this much price, common behave with your price charging with and what you providing to customer who only have option to take away now days because of covid-19 and you are cheating them. Not good at all. if you take 2 kebab only is for $8 and $3 for naan????? From the two Briyani's I ordered one of them had a very bad smell almost as if it was rotten was uneatable just from the smell and the other plate had no lamb. I even called in because my first time they only gave me bones instead of any actual meat and they did it again. You be fooled to innocent customers with higher price and less quantity with no that much delicious food. I won't go again and don't recommended to anyone specially one looking for Hyderabadi Briyani. read more

I didn't give it five stars because as others have pointed out, it's not a clean restaurant. But the food is absolutely amazing. First tip, do not order salad, although it comes as a side with many dishes. The Naan is freshly baked and goes well with all their currys and kebabs. Friends have ordered the curry and been happy all the time. Another friend ordered the seafood dish and was impressed. The beriyani is huge and can easily feed two people. I have tried their Bihari and Afghani Tikka and they are amazing. Also for exotic food lovers, they serve Maghaz Masala, which is sheep's brain mixed with spices. I had tried sheep's brain many times before, but my friends were very hesitant at first. With first bite, they were in love. Update: I am not a fan of chicken breast, but Chicken Boti was very tender and delicious. read more

There are no pictures in this first review. What does that mean hu'h? We didn't wait. Couldn't wait! Nondescript location and not the most enticing interior. But the thirty minute wait and busy as bonkers kitchen (oh you can see through the glass) meant we were in the right place. Absolutely delicious chicken seekh kebabs, one of its kind Karahi Chicken and the fluffiest, garlicky naan. Salad and raita is on the house. Chicken Biryani has the right amount of spices with chicken itself soft enough to fall off the bone by a mere touch! And, don't forget to sample the amazing Mirchi Ka Saran. This one's a must and not a common item on the menu in GTA. read more

The food is nothing special. Naan and chicken like every other Indian restaurant I've been to. Actually, the chicken is even drier than most. Salad consists of some old chopped up ice burg lettuce. I didn't touch it for fear of salmonella or who knows what else. This place is incredibly dirty. Filthy. The floors are literally sticky when you walk in. Tables are gross, don't even bother going to the washroom unless you want to throw up. I don't even want to know what the back kitchen looks like. The entire place needs a serious clean and upgrade. I won't go back here for fear of getting sick. I'm surprised this place hasn't been closed down and investigated by Ontario Health. read more

I have been a regular customer and a very happy one until now. I ordered take out for Diwali one BBQ platter, 2 mutton biryani and 3 keema naan.
