#1 Biryani Nation Melton (Woodgrove Shopping Centre, 2A/533-555 High Street, Melton West)
Rating: 4.8/5 (161 reviews) | Price: Not listed
A 4.8-star rating from 161 locals does not lie. The biryani is the reason to come — fragrant, layered, and portioned for actual humans.
#2 Tikka & Momos — 107 Brooklyn Road, Melton South
Rating: 4.2/5 (77 reviews) | Price: Not listed
A 4.2-star average across 77 reviews. Polarising, but worth trying. The menu covers the expected bases, but the execution lifts it above the standard suburban Indian.
#3 Desi zayka Biryani & Curries ( halal food) — 107 Brooklyn Road, Melton South
Rating: 3.9/5 (56 reviews) | Price: Not listed
At 3.9 stars from 56 reviews, it divides opinion — but the fans are loyal. Come for the biryani. Stay because the biryani was better than you expected.
#4 Dhaba Box — 1B Staughton Street, Melton South
Rating: New/unrated | Price: Not listed
Too new for a meaningful rating, but early signs are promising. The menu doesn’t try to be everything — it picks its lane and executes.
