Absolute Barbecues - Benz Circle, Vijayawada

Ambience : Excellent. Taste of food : Starters > main course, if you are a biryani lover I won't suggest because it lacks flavor. Service : Top notch. They are very supportive. Finally you have to wait for food at least 20 to 30 min after your order.

I've been to quite a few AB's across India and there are a few differences among each of them. While, the service has been always almost top notch and the staff have been friendly, it's the taste of the food that makes or break the situation. It's no hidden fact that the starters are always better than the main course in such buffet establishments but that doesn't mean one can completely neglect the quality of the main course items. There were a few items in the main course that were not being refilled throughout our time at the restaurant, this is a major issue. The Biryani lacked flavour. The Mango Festival Special Dishes were a plus though, especially the aam panna.

Apart from the starters food items are more excellent than any other BBQ's in Vijayawada. One should try pan ice cream, biryani with bbq special dal with chicken curry is so yummy 😋

Only AB’s in Vijayawada, you get a complimentary drink unlike in other cities(guess complimentary drinks are not served in Hyderabad). Nice service, hygienic maintenance, taste is fine. Note- students carry your ID, you get a discount(NV-650/plate)

The decoration and ambiance is very creative and great. The service and grillers were very polite and friendly. Mutton is completely absent in the starters pack . However Mutton Curry is available at the buffet. Chat and live counter is ok. Starters were top notch. One who would like to try and taste different items as Octopus 🐙 , 🦑 , Quill ,Cultured rabbit 🐇 & Emu but quantity is very less. Are you an adventurous food lover?

However, we understand that one might be concerned about portion sizes when it comes to trying such unique delicacies. Rest assured, while the quantity may be less compared to traditional dishes, it is important to remember that these starters are meant to be savored slowly and enjoyed for their quality rather than quantity. By embracing smaller portion sizes, you have the opportunity to explore a wider range of flavors without overwhelming your palate.

The main course completely disappointed me.The South Indian authenticity is completely missing. They should get atleast one chef to get the taste right. When it comes to the culinary world, authenticity is paramount. As a food enthusiast, I understand your disappointment when a dish fails to live up to its promised flavors and cultural integrity. In the case of the main course you recently experienced, it seems that the South Indian authenticity was completely missing. It is disheartening when a restaurant overlooks such an essential aspect of their menu. One can't help but wonder why they wouldn't invest in at least one skilled chef who understands and appreciates the nuances of South Indian cuisine. By doing so, not only would they be able to capture the true essence of these flavors, but they would also cater to customers who crave that authentic experience. A well-trained chef can harness their expertise in traditional South Indian cooking techniques and flavor combinations, ensuring that each bite transports you to the vibrant streets of Chennai or the serene backwaters of Kerala. The inclusion of such a chef would not only elevate their culinary offerings but also attract discerning food enthusiasts who seek genuine and unforgettable dining experiences. In today's competitive market, restaurants need to go above and beyond mere presentation. They must strive to provide an authentic taste that resonates with customers on a deeper level. By bringing in a talented chef with extensive knowledge in South Indian cuisine, this establishment could rectify its shortcomings and regain its reputation as a go-to destination for those seeking an authentic culinary adventure. In conclusion, there is no substitute for authenticity when it comes to enjoying diverse cuisines from around the world. The absence of genuine South Indian flavors in your main course was undoubtedly disappointing. However, suggesting that this establishment hire at least one skilled chef who specializes in South Indian cuisine is not only reasonable but vital for their success.
