Absolute Barbeques, Powai

This place has veg and non veg barbeque and buffet options with a wide variety of multiple cuisine dishes. Here they serve liquor, cocktails and mocktails. All the dishes were good, also the staff were friendly.

Food was amazinggg! Staffs were really kind and helped us explore so many options.there are many options of non veg n veg.nd there is a live grill on every table.overall excellent
absolutely loved the place

Although we were there for barbeque, the main course was a good surprise.lovely mutton gravy and malvani fish curry! Well done AB!

Had come for a Sunday Buffet lunch with family.
The ambience is rather lively and cheerful. It may seem rather similar to another restaurant chain popular for buffets, however, we, as a family, enjoy the dining experience here better. Very kind and polite staff.
Besides the barbecue appetizers that they serve at the table, the restaurant offers a Chat counter (for Pani Puri, Sev Puri, Dahi Puri, Bhel, Papdi Chat and more), Pasta Counter (a small bowl size serving of penne with red or white sauce, as per choice), and Grill Counter (Choose your toppings such as veggies, boiled noodles, meats such as chicken, fish, quail, octopus and squid, rabbit and more, as per your requested quantity).
Buffet isn't too extensive, however after the extensive appetizers, main-course feels almost unnecessary and heavy on the gut. Veg options and Non-Veg options are placed and labelled separately on the buffet.
Desserts options are plenty. They include bite -sized portions of brownies, chocolate balls, muskmelon, angoori gulab jamun, cheesecake, black forest pastry, phirni, to name a few. They also have ice creams and ice cream rolls, however, I personally did not enjoy the Chilli ice cream roll.
The cocktail menu isn't very elaborate either. Nothing home curated, however consists of most well-known, classic cocktails. The beverage menu is adequate.
Overall, it's a good place for kids' birthday parties, Sunday family brunch and dinner buffets.
Valet parking is also easily available within the complex.
The place is mentioned on Swiggy Dineout too, hence one can avail good discounts and offers through the platform too.

I loved the ambiance and the staff were so good they treated all of us so well. I remember there names Kuldeep and Manjit. They were so nice with us and all the people out there. They served us grill food so much well. I would definitely go again and if possible I would recommend this 2 people to serve me of possible. Overall my experience was awesome.

We had Diwali lunch at AB. The ambiance was good. Neat and clean. The staff was courteous and polite.
They offer live BBQ on table. BBQ starter were absolutely ok, nothing great nothing special. None of us liked the soup. They offer different variety of meat in the wish grill or the live counters. That was with pasta, noodles or rice. Chaat items were good. Main course was good. Choice and taste in main course dishes was good.
Desserts were good. Pan ice cream was good.
Billing was efficient and without hassles.
Overall good experience.

Food options are less as compared to other competitors like sigree. Other than this service and ambience is good.

Good options in Veg and NV.
Welcome drink is average and laced with sugar. Ambience good with sufficient parking

Best resturant to have some very nice and delicious food. I personally like the food of this resturant.

This time im very disappointed.no variety n chicken lollipop was not cooked properly.

2 yrs back everything was tasty i was in love with dishes
But u cant expect same thing everytime i guess

Absolute Barbecues = absolute waste of time and money. Nowhere near to BBQ. Chaotic & noisy environment. Cold starters. Main course big disappointment.

Pathetic food quality and even more pathetic (read slow/ignorant) service. After repeated complaints to manager Nitesh and person Nandu from kitchen we got some food that can be called palatable. If you are thinking this is cousin of Barbeque Nation, pls think again. These guys can try to imitate but can never match the original.

Had gone for a celebration but found a fly in the cheese cake which ruined the moment. AB need to take care of the hygiene standards they offer to the customer

Food was Good. Chicken leg served was partially cooked it was red inside. But later it was replaced with another leg piece.

Taste of food is bad. They've kept good collection of food but none of them is delightful. Grills are ok. No Covid appropriate behaviour of staff. Table manager touched the cheeks of daughter and I had to shout at him! Overall experience - Worst. BBN would be my first choice for barbeque.

Value for money. Loved the place. Food was good. Gulab jamun were amazing. Non-vegetarian food for the barbeque is great. The place is clean also good service.
Adding on some more review. Gulab Jamun is at level to Jhamas of Chembur.please try it out here.

I have visited AB's twice before and had a wonderful time and so I suggested ABs for my office team lunch. But I was a bit disappointed. I had the non veg buffet the last 2 occasions but this time I had veg. But either ways the food was not as good as my last 2 experiences. Also last 2 times for a table we had one person attending to us which is understandable but this time inspite of 19 people together we still had only one person serving. I can understand it was crowded but ABs are known for continuously keeping customers busy with starters at the beginning but this time it was slow specially the vegetarians were given a step brotherly treatment. I still would prefer to come to ABs and hope the next te I don't have a similar experience.

Very bad experience as there were cockroaches on the dining table, side walls behind the seating area, ice cream counter, etc.very unhygienic and the site manager doesn't care about ig even after complaining.

Food served was dry on grill, I mean not fresh. I will not recommend to visit AB's Powai. You will find much better option nearby for Grill.

The food is not very tasty atleast fur vegetarians as not a lot of options and the limited options suck

We had gone here for a birthday celebration before writing the review i would like to thank Mr. ALI and his team who provided us one of the best hospitality we have ever received.

Food - 3/5 star
Service - 5/5 star

*Starters* - The starters are the best part over here. So enjoy your starters as much as you can bcoz the main course is okish.
*Maincourse* - The veg main course were better than the non veg ones.
*Italian and chat counter* - This was little disappointing part of the entire meal.
*Dessert*- Dessert section is the second best part of the meal we had some great cakes.

Veggies grill options are comparatively less. Same is the case with desserts. Taste was Okay, not great.

Went to celebrate my birthday with 4 people. It was a decent place which offered lots of options in buffet for veg and non veg.
Could improve in few of the things.

We have so many buffet restaurants now a days, this restaurant stands different for their exotic meats.starters are good both veg n non veg, veg starters are comparatively little less. Chat corner live pizza n pasta corner adds more points. Even hot chilli icecream is yummy. Didn't like their biryani though. Sweet section had plenty of choices. Their staff is excellent in service. What we enjoyed most that they celebrate birthdays n anniversaries with lots of love n complimentary cake.will definitely recommend

Many thanks for making March, 9th a day for my brother in law' to remember his 28th birthday. The buffet was lovely and enjoyed by all. Please thank your staff for all their hard work and being so friendly and helpful. Also your place and lightings looked lovely. “ and also special thanks for the complementary cake to celebrate the evening.

Dining place Spaceous, Food Delicious, Staff Courteous, Ambience marvelous. What else do we need! Heaven for foodies, especially non-vegetarians.
All veg dishes were also very good, yet the quality of Pizzas served as starter and Tacos need improvement.
Fun to dine out with your friends and family.

N. B. Valet parking is available inside the campus.

If you are veg then never try also here. Nothing good to eat. In stater they have only corn, potato and hrabhra kbab. Panipoori was made up of readymade chips. Pasta was tasteless. Sigri was just show peice. Nothing good to eat.

We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary at ABs and we enjoyed our day with close friends and family members. The staff were very helpful and polite. Sukumar, and all the staff were very co-operative. Love you all.

The desserts are absolute love.
Rabbit, Octopus were ok ok
Main course was amazing
Hot dog, pasta, chaat were good

We went here in a group. Ambience was best and waiters were attentive. The concept of wish grill was great. Had lot of varieties in wish grill. Personally tried duck, emu, squid and bunny. Vstities of deserts are available. The starters were little spicy, but they have the concept of customization so dont forget to let them know if u dont like spicy.
The best part is no need to wait for the wish grill. Just order and it will be served to you table.

Extremely conjested seating.over crowded.food was not at par with Barbeque Nation or Bombay Barbeque

The place is very nice especially for non vegetarian people, but would love if they improve their side in veg department also, veg starter was not good, and even the main course but dessert section was ok nor the pizza section. Plz increase starter quantities and do not include fruit starter in it, include many other that comes under veg category.

Amazing food. Average service. We had booked 2 pm slot, got table after 2.15. Felt like the restaurant was under staffed. But food was amazing. Live counters could be more pleasant if staff attitude is bettered. Tip - don't visit on weekends, best to visit Monday-Tues

Food quality can be improved.due to rush the food was not upto the mark.service was excellent.but very poor air-conditioning.needs drastic change.

Absolute Barbecues also known as ABs located in Powai is one of the best Barbecue spots in the locality.
Beautiful ambience and a celebratory environment.
This place has Buffet system serving a variety of dishes.
We opted for the Non Vegetarian option which had a number of was way too delicious too describe.
They start with their cool and refreshing Mocktails which is quite tasteful.
The had some Vegetarian delicacies which was quite flavoursome as well like Corn and Tikki.
However the Non Vegetarian option had a number of various meats. Some of them I had for the first time.
They serve you with Chicken, Mutton, Fish and Shrimps on the Table Barbeque.
That was followed by Roasted Chicken Drumsticks and Mutton Seekh Kebab served on table.
They have a counter for Italian serving Vegetarian Pizza and Pasta.
Heading next was WISH GRILL. Wish Grill is nothing but you decide the Ingredients, they add their spice turning it into a delicious and appetizing Delicacy.
While there were a lot of Vegetarian options here however the Non Vegetarian won my heart over the Various Meats!
You name the Meat and they cook it for you which is too delicious!
You name the meat and they had it (Except Pork and Beef). They had meats like Shark, Octopus, Bunny, Quail, Duck, Emu, etc.
Once you're over it and if you still have some space in your tummy, you head to the Chaat Counter serving mouth watering Chaats, after which is a delicious Spicy Ice Cream followed by some Kids Crisps and Roasted Chicken.
At this point if you haven't planned smart, you're full but somehow we headed towards the Main Course.
Main Course was Biryani (Veg & Non Veg), Paneer Delicacy, Veg Jalfrezi, etc.
Non Vegetarian had Fish, Shrimp, Chicken and Mutton.
The Breads here were served directly from the Kitchen which was quite soft.
And Finally we moved to Desserts, not lying there were oodles of Desserts.
Strawberry Delight was my most favourite!
It was later continued with Cheesecake, Gulab Jamun, Gajar Halwa, Brownies, Jalebis, etc.
A wide spread Buffet with quite a service and a lively ambience with hygiene on par.
A beautiful evening spent here and I'd tag it in a MUST VISIT with your Friends, Family and other Loved Ones!

THE BOMBAY REKDI RECOMMENDED!

Had a memorable experience at AB's yesterday. Food quality & taste was upto mark. Staff was very friendly & enthusiastic of their work. One in all value for money if you looking a good place to chill with your family & friends. Definately in my anytime go to list now.

Didn't liked the place as hyped by other reviews. Food was spicy and burnt. Staff/waiter were not listnening and giving their attention while we called at our table. Some new recipe's they have introduced to attract customers like roasted duck and squid which was tasteless. Overall disappointed. Will prefer Barbeque nation over it.

Had dinner with friends in the Absolute Barbaque with interesting menu, wonderful meal that was perfectly served by mahed and Hari who also filled us in on the local community. Service was exactly on time, hot (not warm) food and oh so good. All in all, a perfect be back gestures. Will definitely!

Such an amazing place - any person’s stomach would get filled easily because approximately the buffet was spread across in an area of nearly 30 metres.

Was very verry verry verry nice place and every one who is reading this msg should go It's amazing and enjoying foods

AB’s absolute barbecues located in Powai true to its name serves the best grills in Mumbai. They have huge space w comfortable seating arrangements, separate bar counter, live food counters, huge buffet spread & good music.

We hogged variety of -
• desserts
• grills
• chaat
• pizza & pasta
• veg main course
• non-veg main course
• beverages - kiwi & litchi
.
.
Everything we tried, was perfect in every sense. But to highlight a few, you cannot miss their paan ice cream & chilly ice cream, unique & amaze. The grills have a huge variety, we found the pineapple grill scrumptious. The chaat, pizza & pasta is customisable according to your preference, we loved it too. The main course was too filling, all the taste buds were satiated.
.
.
The service was quick. The staff was v attentive in spite of the place being crowded, appreciated. Efficient in terms of pricing & quality they offer. The avg cost for two people would be around ₹1400 approx.

Buddies, Bar & Barbeque @abbqme

Emu, Rabbit, Duck, Quail, Octopus, Shark, Chicken n Mutton! Eat till u drop. Think they need to reduce the masala a bit in the preparations tho. Pizza, Pani Puri, deserts were all fantastic. The main course (if you are really interested) is so so. Most interestingly the waiter (Manoj) n valet expressly refused tips. Rare.

Absolute Barbeques is my favourite buffet barbeque restaurant and is truly highly underrated despite offering world class food and service at an affordable price. Nevertheless, had been here with 11 of my family members who thoroughly enjoyed the wish grill and the heavenly desserts.

Top favourites: -

1) Sausages/Emu with Dancing sauce.

2) Barbequed Mutton.

3) Pink Sauce Pasta.

4) Thai curry + Fried Rice.

Top Favourite Desserts: -

1) Pan Ice Cream.

2) Cookie Monster.

3) Customized Chocolate overload Ice cream.

The most paisa Vasool Barbeque restaurant of all times, their variety of exotic meats as well as their ice creams from Cold Stone Creamery truly make them stand out as the best upcoming franchise restaurants in India. Kudos for having the most courteous staff I've come across, they were so polite and helpful & also asked our feedback, we were really humbled.

To begin with, this is the most affordable of the better buffet restaurants in mumbai, i would say. The appetisers seriously taste better and the staff takes a genuine effort to make you feel at home. The main course was largely disappointing but the desert more than makes up for the disappointment. The sheer number of desserts, is kind of dizzying and if you have a sweet tooth then you will get the most bang for your buck while eating the desserts. This is a must visit place. Their dubai outlet is equally good too. Bon appetite.

Absolute BBQ is really an absolute fabulous outlet in all respect. Located in Saki Vihar road in ATL corporate park, the outlet has unique concept for BBQ. The BBQ pot is being placed on the each and every tables which gave us opportunity to make your BBQ which is not only hot but of our own liking.
Ambience is superb and has cubical design to induce bit of privacy. The colour used for the interior designing is very vibrant, complementing to the food being served.
Light music is really good and would like to thank their DJ to select such wonderful play list.

Food is Buffet system except for Alcohol which you need to pay. There are live counters for Pizza, Mongolian Veg and Non Veg, Pani Puri and Sev Puri, Ice cream.
Then there was main course counters.

Starters:
They have different types of starters veg and non veg like paneer, chicken fish, mutton prawns etc.
These are marinated and served at table for BBQ.
All of them were lip smacking.

Pizza Counter: Here we can order pizza toppings as per our wish and liking. All the toppings are displayed and we have to just select.

Mongolian Counter: The veg as well as Non veg counters were decorated with best of items available. We have selected the very exotic Octopus dish and it was simply superb. This was prepared in front of us.

Pani Puri Counters: It was one of the most crowded one and reason is very much known to all of Us.

Ice cream Counter: The Pan Ice cream what we selected was the best one. You can order any one from number of choices available.

Dessert Counters: Different types of cakes being displayed there.

Main course: It was available in Veg as well non veg both. I loved the Dum Biryani.

Buffet Menu of the day:
AB's special Dal
Plain Rice
Dal Kadai
AB's special veg Dum Biryani
Panner Khada Masala
Aanari Bhindi
Baked Cauliflower
Thai Veg Green Curry
Butter Garlic Noodles

Laal Mirch ka Gosth
Murgh Peshawari
Fish Kaliya
Srilankan shrimp curry
Chicken Dum Biryani.

SOUP
Cream of Broccoli
Chicken Manchow

Final Verdict: Again.and.again. This outlet is so amazing and serving food at so reasonable price.we will sure to visit again and again.

Thank you AB team for such a wonderful evening buffet.

I m in love wid this place. Amazing variety of food, great ambience n courteous staff. A best place to celebrate and/or hang out

Nice place for family and friends.

The staff is polite and responsive.

Food quality when it comes to exotic meats is not up to the standard. Very small quantity and not at all tasty.

Rest of the food is okei.

But the music is too loud.

Also when packed the Air Conditioning is a nightmare.cant eat if one keeps on sweating in an ac restaurant.

Barbecue Nation, Global Fusion, Sigree are better options.

Worth Going. Amazing Barbecues with lot of variety. Lovely live counters. Irresistible Pizzas and Sweets
