Barbeque Nation - Pune - NIBM — Restaurant in Pune

Barbecue Nation has recently opened doors of their new outlet at Clover Plaza, NIBM Road on the 15th of this month. The mall presently has only Barbecue Nation(BN) functional but promises to get more action to this side of town soon. BN there is a large and spacious. Two large Terrence can be used for family functions/corporate parties.

I opted for the non veg menu. Recently BN have revamped their menus across all outlets. Promise to serve 100 dishes and newly introduced live tawa counter dishing out meats such as duck, rabbit, quill, chicken liver and kidney. Similarly there are new tawa dishes in the vegetarian section. Something super I was looking forward to try. I am going to cover only those dishes I had.

Glee Glee : a cool lychee juice with lime, soda and ice. A hint of rose, not too sweet or overbearing and very refreshing. #recommended.

From the grills : One of the best portion of the buffet is the variety of grills served. Most of us know BN having amazing grills that sure can fill you up! 😋

Chilly oyster prawns : Grilled , lip smacking and tangy. I love chillie. Prawns very fresh #recommended

Cajun spiced potatoes : a generous amount of mayo mixed with Cajun spice over a bed of fried baby potatoes. Absolutely yummy

Zafrani Tikka : soft chicken cubes marinated and mildly spiced for the young to eat to their hearts content. A dash of lemon recommend.

Make Abe Haya : Basa fish was superb…I couldn't identify the spices #highlyrecommend you try this.

Mutton Methi Sheekh Kababs : these were well flavoured with Methi and garam masala, soft and couldn’t stop at one. #Recommend with their pudina chatney.

Mustard Fish: Basa in Bengali style in mustard paste, delicious however it was very salty.

Smoky Bbq Tangdi : Juicy tender and well done tandoori, however I found it a bit bland.

From the Tawa section : The chef personally explained the new introduced dishes and how they were made. The raw ingredients were eye catching and I was like bring it on!!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at BBQ Nation in NIBM Pune, and I must say, it was an overall delightful experience. The restaurant impressed me with its delectable spread, friendly ambiance, and attentive service. While everything was good, two items that truly stood out were the Pineapple Grill and the Prawns. However, I would have appreciated a wider variety of desserts to conclude the meal.

The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the Pineapple Grill. The succulent chunks of pineapple were perfectly grilled, imparting a smoky flavor that combined beautifully with the natural sweetness of the fruit. It was a refreshing and unique addition to the assortment of grilled items available. Each bite provided a burst of tropical delight that left a lasting impression.

Another standout dish was the Prawns. The prawns were impeccably cooked, boasting a delightful tenderness and a hint of smokiness. They were seasoned to perfection, with just the right balance of spices, enhancing the natural flavors of the seafood. The freshness and quality of the prawns were evident, making them a true highlight of the BBQ Nation experience.

While the savory offerings left me satisfied, I must admit that I was slightly disappointed with the dessert selection. Although the main course and appetizers were abundant and diverse, the dessert choices felt somewhat limited. It would have been wonderful to see a greater variety of sweet treats to choose from, ranging from traditional Indian desserts to international delights. Expanding the dessert options would elevate the dining experience and provide a more balanced end to the meal.

The ambiance of BBQ Nation NIBM Pune was warm and inviting, with a spacious and comfortable seating arrangement. The live grills at each table added an interactive element to the dining experience, allowing guests to cook their preferred items to their liking. The staff members were attentive and friendly, always ready to assist with any requests...

We have a office get together at BBQ Nation.

Barbeque Nation is actually known for its live on-the-table grill and other unlimited variety of items that you can actually enjoy with a fix cost, right from Starters, Mid-course, snacks, Main Course and dessert they have everything.

Ambience ((5 out of 5)) -- It’s on the top of a newly opened building/mall and the view is really good and it has a lot of space so while you dig into the unlimited food you could walk around a lot.

Food (( 4 out of 5 )) – The taste of the unlimited main course menu was down as these were very famous/common on the buffet menu. Hoping the taste quality would be up soon and maintained for every visit.

Mutton Seekh Kebab, Chicken wings, Pineapple tandoori, Dal Fry, Fish in Hunan sauce

Dessert always takes full scores because variety + the taste standard is always maintained.

Service ((5 out of 5)) -- The service is really good here from the waiters to the servers to the managers they keep their quality of customer service very high.

Please check the amazing pictures for more.

This is our second time here and we had booked reservations on a Tuesday afternoon as it’s a newly opened place and we thought it would be crowded. We hogged on to the Barbequed starters with waving flags for most part of the afternoon and then jumped to the main course although we were full but we still tried most of the main course with all the heart and stomach and then were a bit disappointed with the taste side of the main course as these were very famous dishes but the taste was kind of weird.

Then as usual we jumped on to our favourite part/most awaited part of the food trip that is the dessert section a never ever disappointing section. Various varieties in desserts were delicious. From heaven-like kiwi cheesecake to our very own Indian lip smacking sweetness like Angoor Gulabjamun, jalebi, Paysam and etc.

This place is always recommended and would love to...
