I had first come to know about Barbeque Nation when one of my friends told me about its opening at Janakpuri, which is 5 minutes from my office. I was not aware of Barbeque Nation till that time, and when I came to know that it is one of pioneers in serving grilled kebabs, it was just a matter of time before I visited it.
Barbeque Nation, FYI, is in Gurgaon also. The one in Janakpuri is right next to Janakpuri District Center, and one-of-its-kind. Its concept reminds me of the Great Kebab Factory, which is in Punjabi Bagh, about 20 minutes from Barbeque Nation, Janakpuri.
It so happened last night that my friend from South Delhi had come to visit me and as usual we went out to eat. Barbeque Nation was a clear choice because of the hype that it has created in the area and of course because of our penchant for anything that is non vegetarian!

Although i'm not the first one to write a review for this newly opened joint in town, however the rating i would give to this joint is 5/5. In my opinion this is one of the best thing that has happened to delhi (read gurgaon) .
although the previous reviewer shared his own view, but i believe he missed out on the best part of this restaurant, which is the food (and not the drinks).
I recently had read its review in the newsline of indian express and was dying to visit this joint.
The place truly lived up to its expectations. They have a unique concept : Do your own barbeque. They have a grill in the middle of your table and serve you 95% cooked starters the rest 5% you have to cook yourself and customize it according to your own palette. This might be quite interesting for a chef like me, but i am pretty sure can be quite overwhelming for others, (who dont cook). but then again they have a personal waiter for your table who guides you through this simple step. and just in case you get bored of waiting the starter to be cooked , they have some pre-cooked starters as well , to keep you going through the meal un-interrupted.
Well, of the 10 starters , i sampled , well all of them.. and from my memory i can jot down , that the prawns , chicken , tandoori aaloo (in mustard) , another chicken kebab.. basically all were worth their salt. even the paneer kebabs were quite sumtuous.
this was followed by a full course buffet with i believe 5-10 different types of salads (of which the egg salad, and the sea food salad were simply mind blowing). and a full course meal. there too. the food was absolutely delcious. and of course this was perfectly rounded off with a round of dessert. and you have the option from 10 different deserts. and then again . eat as much you like.
all this for 500 bucks per head (that is for dinner, i believe the lunch buffet is for 250, but i have never gone there for lunch).
i've been there once (two days back) and am planning my next visit 5 days from now (the next weekend).
SO IF YOU LOVE FOOD. DO NOT MISS OUT ON THIS PLACE..
P.S : we did not have anything to drink here, as it was way too expensive.

Barbeque Nation is the latest restaurant chain that has hit Gurgaon. It has opened up in Sushant Plaza where Nirula's used to be. The decor is excellent and it was surprisingly packed for a Tuesday. Also there is valet parking - a sure sign that you are entering an expensive restaurant.
The waiters, attendants and the valets are a little too overeager for comfort - but I guess that might be because the place has just opened.
I basically wanted to see how the place was and try out a few starters along with drinks - but unfortunately they don't have a menu. They only serve a fixed selection of dishes - thus all we had was drinks and the free papad! So can't comment on how good or bad the food is.
However, if you are going there for dinner - they seem to have a large and sumptuous offering. You get a grill on your table and can pick from 10 starters and a wide selection of main course dishes (primarily Indian and Asian) and desserts. It costs Rs. 500 per person - which I would consider expensive. [The other similar place I have been to - grill on your table and fixed menu buffet - was Kabab Studio in Bangalore - mindblowing food - for a mere 250 bucks per person]
Also, they took an interminable time to get the drinks and the bill - which seems inexplicable to me unless it was because they disapproved of us 'chillad' customers who refused their buffet.
Thus, overall three stars - But would definitely make one more visit to this place to sample the food.
