One of the worst place to visit for any kind of celebration they don't bother at all no matter what you say to them it's like begging for your own food and the attitude of the people is like dare if you eat stomach full we will not serve you at all pathetic place and people they have a service call and the person had nothing to say other than sorry for the experience and I will let the management know as if they had nothing else to say but sorry for the experience personally this is the worst outlet
I recently dined at this place and ordered non-vegetarian dishes. The service left room for improvement, and during peak hours, it got quite chaotic. The atmosphere, however, was pleasant. I only had the starters, so I can't comment on the main course, but it's an aspect worth exploring in the future.
Original barbeque nation had given us good memory, but absolute barbaq brings cherry on cake, It has done all the improvement compared to barbaq nation. The seating arrangement is good, being new atmosphere and ambience is good. Multiple options of starters, didn't go for main course after stomach full of starters. Surprisingly veg biryani is really goood, And in desert don't miss pan ice cream
My first visit to ABs at Pune Season's Mall with my parents was a delightful experience. The staff stands out for their extreme kindness, courtesy, and accommodation. The endless array of starters left my parents in awe, so much so that they jumped straight to the dessert section, bypassing the main course entirely. The buffet is unquestionably worth it.
I couldn't resist visiting the chaat section twice, thanks to my love for Pani puri. While the overall experience was fantastic, there are a couple of suggestions. Firstly, reducing the volume of the music would be appreciated, as patrons often have to raise their voices across tables to be heard. Secondly, replacing the chipped and broken cups, saucers, and cutlery is advisable; I noticed some chipped sweet bowls, and it affects the overall presentation.
In sum, I thoroughly enjoyed the place, particularly the people there, and these minor improvements could make it even better.
I had the unfortunate experience of dining at Hotel AB's - Absolute Barbecues on weekdays, and it was nothing short of a culinary disaster. The food quality was abysmal, to say the least. It felt like they were serving leftovers from a forgotten era.
I couldn't help but wonder if the food had been cooked yesterday, or perhaps even longer ago. The taste was stale, and the textures were unappetizing. On desert section inside one of the item I saw insect, fruits taste also bad. I am 100% sure it was leftover from yesterday. I raised concerns while eating but no one cared.
Overall, my visit to Hotel AB's - Absolute Barbecues was a nightmarish experience. I would strongly advise anyone considering dining here to think twice. The food quality, the lingering stench, and the terrible service make this place a complete letdown. Save your money and your taste buds; there are far better dining options out there
Visited 13May23, for dinner with 4 people. I booked at 9.30 pm but got my seat at 10.15pm.the table was not ready no glass, sauces tissues, poor service. I can understand the delay on a rushy day but the table should have been better. The first dish was served to us at 10.35, so literally we were waiting 20 minutes at the table without food. Hospitality was very very low. It was my third time to this place and I was disappointed. Service and hospitality should have been better for the money paid. Do not recommend this place if u are looking for celebrating any occasion with good service and hospitality.
Main course should have been more.they just had 2 varieties.
Even after insisting to provide only non veg.they kept on stuffing with low items like pani poori.potato stuff etc.every time had to tell NO but still they keep coming with unwanted items.
They need to improve on the service a bit.rest everything like ambience and taste were really good.
Good place to hang out with friends and family. Tasty starters and main course.
Small flaw on the staff side. I found the staff were hesitant to serve some items like chicken tandoori leg piece which were part of non veg starter. We literary asked to serve multiple times but received only once which disappointed us a lot
You can book your table till 9: 30pm. If you go walk in then you might not get a table this is what I experienced. Overall ambience and the crowd is good and there is a variety of dishes you can taste.
Rated this place 5 stars 2 years ago. Came back again, and the service was beyond slow. I understand the rush, but they need to do a better job in letting in only the people they can serve efficiently.
Variety of options available in barbecue for vegetarians and non vegetarians. Starters and desserts are just yummy. Good place to celebrate birthdays. Staff is polite and respectful.
Friendly, enthusiastic service with a smile esp Nisar and his team. But that's where the good part ends. The grills and buffet were below par with the odd exception. And lesse said about desserts the better
The range of taste of the entire menu is good to great. People would search for review that is it better than barbeque nation. The answer is that AB's provides more variety of food at comparatively lower price. Barbeque nation holds a very slight advantage in taste. Moreover I would suggest this if you're going for pocket friendly meal.
It was really awesome. The staff was taking precautions and it was very clean. And the best part were the dishes, just so good. And the exotic dishes were there too.
Best food best experience amazing staff enjoyed a lot. It was quite delicious food and had various varieties in non veg and also in veg Do visit Absolute Barbeques Season mall pune
This place was 4 star when I visited it before the lockdown but after that there has been a huge dip. A little is understandable given the struggles but this was a lot.
At Absolute Barbecue, the best thing was the service. With smiles. The chef would come and say hi and take feedback, the servers would keep serving you until you couldn't take more. Even after that, they'll keep checking if you'd want anything more. Sadly, that's no more the case. This time around I waited about 40 minutes for a starter to come to my plate (which didn't eventually come!). With that, I went on for the main course, where they serve the Roti on the table. The roti came about 20 minutes after we served the mains on our plate. Obviously, one loses appetite in the whole waiting process and that happened with me. In the end, I gave up told the captain to bring the bill. He apologized and asked me a couple of times to have my dinner, but I didn't quite feel like. One off it happens, but same day for starters or for main course is a huge put off. So I paid of my bill (they offered discount but I refused as I had eaten a piece or 2 of some other counters) and went on to finish the evening with bread and eggs.
From what little I got to try and feedback from the better half, the food quality is not what it used to be but still edible and can be checked out once just because the spread includes quite a variety of items with average preparation.
Wonderful place to spend a great time with family the services is great food is wonderful we can customize based on our need and the people services are very polite and wonderful keep up to good services
Excellent service by Rehaman and staff, Large variety in both veg and non-veg food, Tasty starters verry tempting, Excellent ambiance and quick service.
Rated it 4 because the menu keeps changing and it may happen that the favourite dish from your last visit won't be available next time. Overall the experience was good. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Had an amazing experience at this place. The chef and the Stewart's went of the way to ensure I had an a good meal. It was the seafood fest and I dint like a dish so they prepared a dish for me out of the menu. This was very very kind gesture. I highly recommend this place for dates or group dinners. Thank you Absolute Barbecue team you left an everlasting impression on your food and service today:)
An awesome place to go with your friends and family. They offer a wide range of mouthwatering dishes. People visit here to celebrate special days of their loved ones. The service is great and the staffs are friendly. Usually there is a rush during weekends.
I've always loved the place since it opened. They have a huge menu which includes chaat, live grill, pasta & pizza, kebabs and ice cream counters. Their starters are definitely the highlight. The main course also has items like soup, biryani, many sabjis, salad, roti, naan, etc. I just wish they also had options in tofu and a few more vegetarian options in desserts. The beverages are good too. Their staff is extremely prompt, polite and attentive at all times. Love this place very much!
Starters were awesome and they were keeping full precaution during this time. My kid got a complimentary drink and she was super happy. Nice weekend lunch/dinner option for family.
Amazing service and delicious food. 5 star to the service. Staff was polite. Food was mouth watering from starters to main course and the desserts as well.
I loved the place. The food was amazing let it be fish, chicken, etc.everything was delicious and perfect in taste. The main course was also delicious. I had visited this place before and the food quality wasn't that good but since then they have made many changes and have made the food perfect. Only one thing, the chicken tandoori leg was a bit sweet and not having the special tandoori flavour but I am sure they will make that change to the recipe.
Visiting this place for the second time and it reminded me again why this will always be my second option (first being Barbeque Nation). They are trying hard but it's still a long way to go. For the rates that they charge the food and service both are average. In vegetarian the starters were ok and they waiters took their sweet time in getting them. Had to ask multiple times and later on leave the plate as order wasn't fulfilled. Live counters were functional but without the cooks, one guy was operating 2 counters and they were sort of fighting between themselves to fulfill the order. I was really upset that I didn't book barbeque nation in advance and had to satisfy for mediocre food and service.
We went to abs bbq after long time and restaurant had all covid 19 safety measures in place. What i felt that food quality has significantly gone down which used to be better earlier. Crockery was chipped out and didnt look good. It will be good to review quality and change the chipped out crockery.
We visited first time to this franchise of AB, but the experience was not so good. Full bullet points I want to mention which I felt bed or worst than their competitors- 1. Conjested sitting spaces. 2. Started they tried copying BBQ Nation but not succeeded at all. 3. Nothing was matching to their competitors quality. 4. There is very less options in main couse meal. 5. Service was bad, which needs to be checked thoroughly, you will not be attended by one person as happens in other places so many people ask same question. 6. After asking you so many times they will serve you your demand.
This is simply a replica of BBQ. Few things I like here is that - Food quality is good - You will get verity of items for test specially non veg people love this place. - For veg people soup like broccoli soup is best. - Also, must go for pan ice cream - If you are willing to celebrate birthday they will provide free cake ask once to food serving boy. - Food serving is very fast and on time. You will have less waiting time. - Good for office party.
What I dont like - veg and non veg food are raw offten. - Cost is at higer side they charge 800-900 perhead. - they have verity in food but when it cames to test many items are testless.
If you like to explore different places and hotels then go for it.
Awesome place with an awesome taste. Hospitality is also at its next level. Must visit once. You can select a list of Alcohols like Beer, Rum and Wishky but need to pay separately. Hope this will help.
I visited this place on my birthday they do special arrangements for occasions like birthdays, anniversaries. They play song relating to the occasion and offer the cake. But this place is not for an vegetarian person, this the waste of money. But they try to serve veriety of food. There was a dedicated person to ask each and every customer, 'are you loving the food or not and what else do you want'. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VEGETARIAN. 5 STAR for Service and Hospitality.
Perfect place for team party for veg and non veg both with unlimited buffet and desserts. They have introduced new options like duck, shark etc.must try. Try to grab early bird entry.
Be there for absolutely brilliant food, great starters to start with: Chicken, fish, mutton and prawns. There is a wide variety of excellent special menu including duck, rabbit and shark.
Adding to their a good main course and a huge range of desserts with ice creams, cakes and a fine paan to end the course.
We went for a lunch on 31st Dec and it was overall a great experience. The service & staff approach were extremely good as they were insisting to try different varieties of veg & non-vegetarian. My fav part was dessert. Do try its pan flavour stone ice cream.
