Review Absolute Barbecues - Marathahalli, Bengaluru - Bengaluru

I recently had a delightful team lunch at AB's with my office mates, and it was truly an enjoyable experience. The ambience was fantastic, creating a pleasant atmosphere for our gathering. The service lived up to our expectations, providing a smooth and attentive experience throughout. One standout feature was the live counter, where a variety of meat options like Quail, Duck, Rabbit, and Octopus were available. It was a unique and interactive touch as they prepared the dishes hot and fresh right in front of us. While the vegetarian options were somewhat limited, the starters were impressive, making it a satisfying choice for everyone. The desserts were a delightful conclusion to our meal, offering a sweet and satisfying end to our dining experience. Considering the overall quality and variety, the costing of around 900 to 1000/- per head felt reasonable for the enjoyable culinary journey we had. AB's is undoubtedly a place worth revisiting for its great ambience, service, and unique live counter experience.

Nice variety and good service. Veg food costed around 670 and non veg 790. Worth the price. Desert collection was really nice!! Great place of you are planning team lunch/team dinner. Parking is a slight hassle.

We went there for a lunch and it was a very good experience. The one thing that stands out was the service. They made every single best attempt to ensure that one gets the best service. The food was also decent. We made the booking through swiggy dineout which helped us get some extra discounts.

This is my first time to AB’s Marathalli. I have been there for weekends dinner. The ambience was good, the staff were polite and good amount of dining area so it doesn’t get over crowded on weekends. Coming to food the starters were good especially fish, main course was decent but nothing extraordinary, there were ample amount of desserts available from warm gulab jamon & jalebi, fresh pastries, ras malai, ice creams etc which are definitely recommended.

Went here for Team Lunch with my office mates. The ambience is really nice and enjoyable. As expected service is nice. There is a live counter where you can choose your options from a variety of meat options (Quail, Duck, Rabbit, Octopus etc..) and they will make it hot and fresh in front of you. Although options for veg are limited but you will like starters. Deserts are good too. Costing will be around 1000/- per head

Went with family 3rd flore is all most full we went to 4 the flore atmosphere is good food also good compared to barbique nation but but I don't see much options for main menu.

Planned a team meet up and it was organised by the ABs team with ease! Pallavi had been very friendly and customer experience was as always expected to be above expectations. The buffet and food varieties will keep you craving for more and more!

Krishna - was extremely knowledgeable and make great recommendations. It’s a great experience. The ambiance is very welcoming and charming. Amazing food and service. I regularly visit and would visit again!!

We went there for dinner on my kid birthday. Excellent when it comes to hospitality, service and taste. Top notch quality and amazing delicious food. We Enjoyed a lot. Birthday celebration is top-notch. My kid liked it very much. We were served by Bikki. He is so amazing and his service is excellent from start to end

Visited today. Satisfied with the items available. Best part was the live counter customisable dishes, desserts supported by decent starters and main course. The staff is good. Thanks to "Raja" and "Pallavi" for offering very good service. We went to the top floor and there was no rush. The ambience was nice. Liked the price, food quality, items available and the service.

Absolute was always my favourite .still is.. but their desert selection could be better. Value for money though:)

Perfect everything

Oh ! I can't describe how amazing it was ! Lovely Ambience! Loved the food, it was completely worthy of the price ! Such amazing and different desserts ! Most recommended,must visit ! 😀

Food was very good, the taste was awesome. Quality was good and the buffet had alot of choices. Loved it.

Went for dinner tonight. Table booking was done by virtue of ABQ online app for 7 people. We reached on our scheduled time. Routine new normal protocol were followed which includes temperature check and sanitisation. However, once we entered I was stunned to see that there was no social distancing maintained by such a big chain of restaurant. Upon questioning on social distancing there staff replied due to some technical glitch they are not functioning fully. There was no gap between the tables which all other restaurants are adhering knowing the fact of current situation. Next I would like to highlight is the wait time. As I already mentioned our table and slot was booked. Nevertheless, they started servicing after a long gap of 34 mins with one cold chicken leg piece. After approaching to the manager multiple times they continued servicing at a snail’s pace. Staffs were totally lost. Since our children were hungry and we were left unattended we had to walk off with our guest which is very insulting when you are inviting someone for dinner. The manager was least bothered about the situation. I understand they might be facing staffing issue. Hence they can restrict the population of customer to a certain number so that they can serve the optimum quality of food and service. If there was an option of giving negative rating I would have given. I request all others not to visit ABQ Marathalli branch if you want to treat your guest it will be an insult.

Visited the restaurant as it was my wife's birthday. After the lockdown it was the first outing and we wanted to be special, we had visited ABs earlier and it was decent but this time it was disappointing.<br/>The food varieties were less than usual, plus the quality was degraded, too much oil and less flavours. Service was very slow, after first serve you hav to wait for a lot time for them to repeat the starter even after reminding them again and again.<br/><br/>We reached @12:30 and the crowd was less then also the service was slow and once the crowd was up you must wait for 20min for your starter or even forget it sometime. They have digital menu system on which you can place you order, i placed multiple times for live grill order but none arrived, litrelly none. It was waste of money if you ask me. Not worth. And definitely less than wat was the expectations

Fantastic place with wide variety of spreads - the live counter was simply amazing. We loved the pasta and the fries. Although the Marathalli ABS gives a free beer, the option was not available in Sarjapur - nevertheless, delicious and worth a penny for a foodie !

Thank you Shantanu & team for superb hospitality during this pandemic. Complete safety during dining. Taste is same as it was earlier.

Prasenjit our server was excellent and the entire experience was good

AB's has always maintained its taste and variety. Best buffet with variety we can get here.<br/>They are maintaining the hygiene and also staffs are very understanding and service is really good<br/>Loved the starters specially prawns and crispy corns. No words for those two items..absolutely fabulous

It took 1 hr to get seating even we had prior booking and reached on time. Food was served 30 min after we got seating. They had very few varieties and it was over crowded. Food was over in main course. Grill were also shortage. Every order use to take 20-30 min. Very poor service and it was over crowded.

As we were the first one to enter in high and that so for it was first time for me...and as we had heard many things about the heights the view!! beleive me ur lips will say the word wow!!!as soon u see everything around..I want to say many things but I want to end in short but the mazor shout to Mr kushal who treated us like so beautifully that I dont have any words I was surprised with that guy that he was so fast answering our doubts and he is a kind of cutee guy😊....bdw every staff was freindly and manager Mr.pransanth was very helpful with giving a good choice of table to us which was very comfortable...thanks peeps u made our day today...<br/>We order like finger croquettes clear soup and especially the dimsums were mouth watering!!😋highly recommended place high keep going

I didn’t like this place at all. The staff were not helpful and also the food was not upto the mark. Paneer was rubbery and crispy corn was not fried properly, Gulab jamun was not hot and many moreeee. 👎🏼

🥘🤩 lotsa varieties starting from common items of chicken, goat and moving with prawns, squid, shark, bunny , tried emo for first time and it was yum. Loved the taste of bunny, fish was simply melting in my mouth, prawns was well cooked, tender chicken, surprised with bamboo shoot which was good enough with mushroom, lastly never ending mix of ice creams, loved it 🔥 , will be better if staffs speak regional language since its in Bangalore.

Nice place to dine in with a good variety of food. I like the chaat center and icecreams were delicious. It's a must try place for all barbeque lovers.

Need to improve more and more on cleanliness.

This has been the worst visit to an Absolute Barbecue, ever. The crowd was absolute mayhem, people eating directly from the serving dishes with their bare hands, children shouting for ice cream and snatching from other guests who are in line and being served. Service was slow and laggy. Staff behaviour was rude.<br/>Bathrooms were stinking and seemed like gutter. I see no excuse for not cleaning up the washroom.<br/>This particular absolute barbecue has touched new lows for buffet restaurants. I wouldn’t recommend this place in a non-pandemic environment as well, let alone at this time.

The service was little slower than usual. Everyone should be given attention. Worker to customer ratio was inadequate. Anyhow they still managed every table professionally. Hoping the service would be faster in coming days.

Beautiful place.. but should improve the taste of the food.. the taste was not up to my satisfaction.. staffs were good, well behaved. Sanitized place..

Awesome place to dine in. They are ensuring all the safety and hygiene protocols. The staff is courteous... the grills are too tasty, The main menu can be improvised.

This place has some amazing ambience and some amazing corporate offers too. You must try if you are a fan of live grills.

1. Ambience is superb<br/>2. Price is reasonable.<br/>3. Service is the best.<br/>4. Food taste is awesome.<br/>5. There are a number of desserts available <br/>6. There is a lot of starters option for both veg and non veg food lovers. Pineapple barbeque is good in veg.<br/>7. They have digitalized menu so you can order contactless<br/>8. All necessary safety precautions are maintained.<br/>9. Suitable for team dinner, friends, family.<br/>10. There is no limitation of food. Do visit this place.

Awesome experience just loved the food and safety measures taken here if you want to go now.....

Ambience was good staff were very supportive especially mr. Ravi chauhan. He was very polite helpful. My words are not enough to describe mr Ravi Chauhan support. Nice place to visit wid family.<br/>

One of the place where I get to enjoy all kinda non veg, especially sea food and other meat starters. Non vegetarian lover must try, a place you would not regret!

This restaurant has so much to offer. It was an absolute delight dining here. Loved the variety of veg and non veg dishes. The food is flavorsome. The starters specially Chicken Leg, Mutton Seekh Kabab and Bbq. Chicken were my favourite. Other things you must try are Mutton Chops, Crispy Corn, Cheesy Potato. It also has a exotic meat section for all the exotic food lovers. The main course and the dessert sections are also well spread with options like Chicken Biryani, Mutton Ran Ghosh, Gulab Jamun, Cakes and so much more. Staffs are polite and the service was quick. The interior has quite a good seating capacity and the music is good too. The overall ambiance is quite pleasant. It was an amazing experience!

One of the best buffet place for vegetarians and non vegetarians in town with a variety of starters, main course and desserts. <br/>In frame: corn noodles, grilled mushrooms, grilled paneer, pineapple <br/>The place is always crowded. You should have the booking of the place prior and should reach on time.

Worst experience ever.<br/>1. We go AB for barbecue experience, but the quality of food being served on barbecue was terrible. For veg, they didn't provide a single vegetable. All they served was paneer, mushroom, pineapple and watermelon-all of which was stale. It was only after complaining, they brought the fresh ones except mushroom. We ordered broccoli, cauliflower, potato etc. but they informed almost 45 mins later that they don't have the stock.<br/>2. Dahi bara - a dish in the main course, was completely stale<br/>3. Watermelons were rotten<br/>4. Panipuri was served with no alu inside it. It was only after complaining, they brought them<br/><br/>Service was very poor, so was the attitude of the manager in accepting the fault.

Absolute stale food served. Burnt starters, rotten fruits, spoilt gravies were shamelessly served. When complained to management, the manager refused to address any of the issue. He sounded arrogant and spoke in a very very rude manner. Neither potato nor cauliflower or any veggie served on barbeque. We were made to wait for 1 hour for broccoli and finally denied saying not available. The Bengali manager showed so much of attitude. Neither was he sorry not provided any compensation in any regard. We , a group of 6 had to return empty stomach after paying 5k.<br/>No aloo in pani puri, burnt starters, stale food is what they are serving with very little focus on customer service. Please avaoid at all cost. <br/>The place use to be lively and very good earlier. Now the management has screwed this big time.

We a family of six people were there to celebrate the birthday of my nephew. I wish I could give a lower star. Stale food is being served. From items on barbeque to main course as well as dessert. The management is very rule and arrogant. People could fall I'll eating such food. Earlier it was way better. Please avoid. Barbeque nation, black pearl, Grub Globe are much better.

Excellent service by Sudhir and Asif.. Sanish was very cooperative and welcoming while confirming the booking. Overall a fantastic experience..

It's a pleasure experience at Absolute barbecue resto. The way of service was so amazing n food was delicious.it was my birthday, they celebrated with me and also they offered me a special birthday gift. ......One of their server named was Masuff/Mafos.... something,he is very polite <br/><br/>I really love that place

Guru sharan.... service is really awesome...

Really you guys need to improve your veg part . For veg u don't have much options . Try to improve .

Very good service smile stef all very good....🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮

Good service.. good food.. Depen was very proactive in his service and took proper care of our preference in taste of food.

It's a buffet and foods are so delicious. And ambient is also good

This is the best place to dine when it comes to barbeque. The place can get little noisy because it's always full of diners and the music gets loud, but you wouldn't mind it because the food is heavenly. Everything on the menu tastes superb and you would have to think what to eat what to skip. The fact that they have maintained the taste and quality of food consistently good over the years completely justifies their ~5 rating.

Mahfuj

Mahfuz attended us and he was very courageous. Loved the place.

Mahfuj has served as very good. Very good and excellent service. 👍

Mahfuj was our host. Very sweet and courteous. Made us try all delicious items on the table. Lovely food and service

I am yet to try your restaurant but the centralized team that you have collaborated with to take online reservations is the WORST! They can't speak, they are disrespectful, uninterested and utterly unhelpful. Please do something about it.

Good food, good spread and great customer service is what we all look for and this place gives you all :) It was worth the time and money spent..

Gurusharan

The service by GuruSaran was simply awesome. He ensured we were comfortable and try all the varieties...

Mahfuj- good experience with abs , reallyyy loved it❤️❤️❤️

Gurushran served us courteously all the items in the menu. He customised food according to our spice levels.

It was brilliant as usual and Gurusharan at the restaurant made it all worth it.

Guru Sharan excellent waiter, friendly approach, nice to have done in ABS Marsthahally

Food - In one word the food is flavorsome. In starters, I fell for the bbq fish and chicken, as well as the sheek kebab, was delicious. For all the exotic people out there, Must try the exotic food section. The "Fire Panipuri" is a good one. In the main course, Chicken Dum biryani was the show stopper, Mutton Ran Ghosh was luscious. In desserts the brownie, tiny hot Gulab Jamun was a great blend.<br/>Management - The staff is very polite and specific about the rules and regulations. The service was quick and very delightful.<br/>Environment - It is located near the service road, The interior is spacious. The music is quite good. The overall ambiance is quite pleasant.<br/>Thank you for the GoGreen Initiative. Something good for the environment.keep it up.

Ambience is good and prepare the spice items interms of our wish. Mahfuj has served us very good and hosted us very well. Keep asking about the quality of items and the items wanted

Such an amazing as always, Food tastes amazing and the organization of staff is really impressive. Kudos Team AB's.<br/>Taste of food - *****<br/>Staff - *****<br/>Ambiance - *****<br/>Over all experience - *****

Guru Sharn is greeting us and served very well. It was a awesome experience to dine at ABS Marathalli.

Mahfuj

So visited Marathalli branch on 23rd Feb 20 -Sunday lunch. Service was poor - too slow. Took them forever to start the starters, take order and get us drinks. Food quality was not good - was bland and did not improve even after pointing it out. There were safety issues as well - hot red live coal started falling from the barbecue near out feet and it took them good 20 mins to remove that.<br/>Basically quality has deteroriated over time. Overrated and too many people for them to manage on a sunday lunch. Our family lunch got ruined and so did many thousand rupees. Wont visit again.

Gurusharan was very good in services

Mahfuj was the couteous staff around here and helped a lot in getting things done. Kudos!

Mahfuj treated is really well. Had a very good experience at barbeque

The food here tastes good with a great choice of starters. There is an additional wish counter where you can try different kinds of exotic meat, including rabbit, emu, duck, quail, etc. The main course seems pretty average but the desserts are good. The staff here is very courteous and can make your day special by wishing you on your anniversary or birthday. Overall, a great place to have good food with friends and family.

Gurusharan - It was really good. The service was really good. The meat was fresh and tender. He was extremely polite and helpful.

We are very happy with the hospitality of Gurusharan.The service provided by him was awesome. We wish to keep coming again and again.

Gurusharan

Guru Saran was damn good and lively person. Was very happy to have him around us and thank you for serving us an Amazing food.

Gurusharan.. Very good service.. Friendly person.. Excellent food

Nice ambience

I had been to ABS frequently,Most of the times i had pleasant  But it was not same on Yesterday.<br/>Starting from the politeness for the service,everything went wrong.<br/>The Starters was not that great,ABS started to use worst quality of Paneer and Mushroom.<br/>The taste was worst.When i have ordered for Mocktail,The service person spilled  the mock tail in his hands and Server.They don't even had a tray to serve?<br/>Also the service was too slow,the server not even asked what you want whe the plates where emptied.<br/>The option of Starters in Vegetable is very minimal and even this is not served properly.<br/>Also Whenever we went to ABS,They will ask the occasion.<br/>This time even that is missing.<br/>So, <br/><br/>Poor Service+Poor Quality of items=Waste of time & Money.<br/>The ABS Marathalli is highly not recommended.<br/><br/>Even We had bring this notice to Manager,But ,He also took this  very lightly.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/>Sivanandham Krishnan

This is the first time I m out of a place in 45 min . Food was cold service was bad . I had to tell 10 times to get starters still it didn’t come. This is the last time I wil visit u guys

Had a wonderful service by jassim..he has a good communication with the alternative coustumer well done jassim ..this makes the coustumer Happy 🥰🥰

Mahfuj was very courteous and friendly. Had a wonderful time. Highly recommend this unit of ABs.

Ahesan was a awesome service staff, he took care of all requirements of food including special requests for jain food for one of our family members. Had a really good time at ABs.

Mahfuj's service was excellent

Mahfuj was really kind and helpful with the supplies of yummy food and having a check on us every 10mins if theres any requirement. I can say this is the best service one can really have. Love this place. Fantastic service and a complimentary given. Overall it was awesome.
