AB's - Absolute Barbecues | Velachery, Chennai

We went with the buffet option. Started off with some tasty starters--chicken, prawn barbecue, grilled chicken, fish, and mutton chops--all pretty good. The main course was just okay, nothing special. The biryani wasn't great, but the fried rice and gravy were decent. Desserts were nice. Drinks were extra, except for a complimentary pineapple squash, which was just average.

THE best place... If you want to spent a great time with your friends and family, just go for it... I have been here multiple times with my office colleagues and also personally with my wife. They have a wonderful ambience and a perfect class of faculties.

I loved this place for perfect lunch at Velachery Had a huge spread of live grill and for the first in Chennai they launched lava stone grill that just awed my taste buds with juicy flesh in chicken fish and Mutton. The one at the entry will be served with hot soup by chef is just mesmerizing experience. Foodies must try it out here and create one more memorable in Chennai Absolute Barbeque's.

We visited this place on a Sunday for a birthday lunch with a group of five. We had a reservation for 11:30 am and arrived on time. While there was a slight delay in serving food--it started around 11:50--the overall experience was wonderful. The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional. The staff consistently checked in to ensure each new item met our taste, showing great attention to detail. As a lovely gesture for the birthday celebration, they even surprised us with a complimentary cake and sang a song, making the occasion even more memorable. Billing and cleaning were efficiently handled, and the entire staff was warm and friendly, with welcoming smiles all around. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I'd highly recommend this place for a special celebration!

It was a special occasion for our family and we had made our reservation a day prior. We also made sure to confirm our reservation the following day. We had reserved a slot on a Sunday at 1.30 pm and we had reached the hotel on time. But we were made to wait till 2.30 pm and that is not even the worst part. Till 3 pm we were not served any starters whatsoever. Even the barbecue counter was not set up at our table till then. I am not exaggerating when I am saying this, but I had to talk to 10 different servers to get us some water and glasses to drink it. I had given up at that point. I literally asked a server for glasses and said to him that I won't be returning to the table until he gets glasses to my table. If I had to take such measure to even get the basic necessary service, imagine the kind of service with the other dishes. Some of the live counters functioned fine but most of them had many dishes not being refilled properly. I understand that it's a Sunday and there would an inflow of an unexpectedly large number of customers, but I just feel like it's no excuse to the type of service we had received here. I have been to multiple buffet outlets, in-fact, multiple AB's outlets, and I would easily rate AB at the top, but this was just a very poor experience.

Quality of food was good. Desserts were just Okay. Ambiancs was OK. Due to limited waiters, the time we waited for refilling the starters was more. Could improve on that The air-conditioning was poor..It depends on the table which u r assigned. Taste & Quality of desserts could be improved.

Fantastic team lunch experience at Absolute Barbecue, Velachery! Our team thoroughly enjoyed the wide variety of delicious BBQ dishes, including veg and non-veg options. Unfortunately, it was a very busy day and the staff seemed overwhelmed. We had to wait a while for the starters to be replenished, and even then, the options were limited. The staff, although friendly, were delayed in attending to our requests. Despite these hiccups, the team at Absolute Barbecue did their best to accommodate our needs. Ambiance was lively and perfect for a team outing. The decor was modern and trendy, with comfortable seating. Considering the minor issues we faced, I would still recommend Absolute Barbecue for team lunches, outings, or even a fun night out with friends!

Food is average Some items they hesitate to serve again. Only part is dessert Is good except dry brownie. Overall service need to improve. Also live counter meat is good. Better try any nearby restaurants if possible to move.
