AB's - Absolute Barbecues | Avinashi Road, Coimbatore — Restaurant in Tamil Nadu

Starting from the wallet : No wallet at the plwallet desk, no guidance .

Table waiting time : Booked for 2:00pm reached by 1:45, but still got the table by only 2:20.

Food : it too 15 mins after getting table to place the barbecue box , Prawns were catered very slow and very less quantity. Up on request also prawns came after having desert Was the food good? Went on a Sunday and felt the meat was old and definitely not fresh . Not tasty at all .

Mutton : where was mutton , 958 bucks per head including a 9 years old kid , where the hell was mutton ? I think they might have lost it . Not a single mutton dish , after asking server confidentially served one mutton from some secret pot and that was so hard and rigid that I felt it’s better to keep that mutton hidden instead of serving .

Starters : Not at all worth it - a big no 👎

Main course: Chicken Briyani with no chicken pieces White rice Butter chicken curry - felt not so good One fish curry - not up to the mark

That’s totally all for non vegetarians!

Main course is also a very big no 👎

Soup - definitely don’t try 😪

Live counter - staff less for the entire duration of my visit - again not tried as no one was there

Desert - rolled ice cream is also not there anymore , only 3 flavours of ice cream scoops , toppings boxes were empty . Only item I ate with satisfaction are the jamuns. Imagine jamun for 950 bucks , pricey 🤧🤧🤧🤧

Cakes are not well baked , they gave a bday cake I really wished they had not given such a bad one .

Overall it’s a regret abt huge waste of money . The place is so lifeless and employees at all counters are very very sad, on a Sunday to celebrate an event , this definitely is not a place to go to and please avoid wasting money here.

In short :...

Update 10/12/2024: Seriously the food was way below average. None of the meat were looking fresh, even the crispy corn was smelling weird and soggy. While starter was bearable, the mains were total disappointment. Pretty sure the chicken used in Chinese items were old and biriyani, they say it's hyderabadi biriyani but what we got is just plain steamed rice with not even the smell of biriyani masala. One good thing is we had free choice of drink for lunch. Worst on everything else.

Update 25/10: Back to AB's with minimal expectations. Now I must this time I was stuffed. Hospitality is 10/10. Starters were really good. Thumbs up for the extra special prawns. Was little bit oily but tasted really good.

Food counter was let down I asked for a pasta with multiple ingredients(pasta in white sauce, with panner, cheese, bell pepper, zucchini and corn) but the person wasn't responding well and finally got pasta in white sauce with omly corn. No spice, no salt just the flavour of sour white sauce.(was like eating parrotta in curd).

Ice cream counter person should also work on letting ppl know what are the options. What I thought was a dry fruit topping was actually a gulkand topping. Didn't know they have a roll ice cream option. I just got the scoop. He didn't even mix the toppings with ice cream.

Coming to main course, the biriyani and Chettinad chicken curry was really good. But the chilli chicken tasted old seems to be fried long time back and added in the sauce. I was full enough to even complain.

Star of the show the dessert section. Damn so many varities of desserts. Jelly, fresh cream cakes, mosse, gulab Jamun. Was...

Tl;dr Below average main course buffet. Skewers were okay. Attitude when pointing out their mis-advertisement. No consideration for local language. There are better places to spend this much money. I would avoid them.

The barbeque skewers were good. But they only had 3 pieces in a skewer, like 3 tiny mushrooms. They kept bringing new skewers so it wasn't a big problem but felt they could have added more pieces per skewer for some.

The food in the buffet was below average. It was a big let down. The desserts were okay.

They advertised a free mocktail for everyone on Monday to Saturday but refused to provide one citing it doesn't cover holidays?! Their advertisement didn't have any such mention. They were defiant in accepting the mistake in their advertisement and remained steadfast in their decision. It also felt a bit odd that instead of giving offers on holidays they cutdown an offer that they advertise in a poster at the entrance.

The serving staff were proactive and attended to us quite well. However, I don't think ordinary people would enjoy. Not a single person there know or even attempted to speak the local language. I could see the problems some senior citizens were having communicating with them. It would be great if they make it easy for unsophisticated locals as well. They also seem to play only...
