The New Concept @ Barbeque Nation | Mahadevapura | Bangalore

| Mouth watering kebabs (chicken, prawns, fish) |
We love to eat at all you can eat buffets! We are sure you
know that by now, given the number of times we have written about buffets.
Recently we wrote about the Dilli walli Khau Gali festival going on in Barbeque
Nation. Its time to write about them again!
But this time, we will be telling you about a new outlet of
Barbeque nation that opened up with a new vision and concept at The Arena Mall,
Mahadevpura, Bangalore. The first thing we noticed was that they had changed
their decor, logo etc.
They have maintained the essence of barbeque nation but have
added a few more things. You will be provided with the hot barbeque station at
your table, you will be given delicious skewers to barbeque, and you will have
the flag. And with this you will have a variety of live stations to get your
food made according to your choice! Now doesn’t that sound good!?
They have a live Dal station which intrigued us, because you
don’t get to see this usually. They have a live stir fry counter for both veg
and non veg where one can choose from a variety of meats and veggies and take
back a stir fried delight! They have a couple of varieties of sauces too! These
are made to order in front of you and according to your taste! They have a
variety of meat for non vegetarians, which include rabbit, quail, etc.
Along with this they had a live counter for soups as well, where
they served clear soup and added the ingredients according to your choice. We
got a clear soup made in a vegetable broth with corn, carrots, mushrooms and
prawns. Finished with just a bit of spring onions! Delicious and to our taste!
The starters were up to the mark, like at every Barbeque
nation and the service here was also up to the mark! The only disappointment
was the live roll counter. We are Bengalis who belong from Kolkata and rolls
have a soft corner in our hearts and when it is not done right, we sure get disappointed.

| Shawarma, stir fry, daal and soup live counters |
They have a Kati roll and shwarma counter as well, where
it’s again made to order. The roll was, like we said, not that good; slightly
soggy and chewy, not crisp and delicious. But the shawarma counter made up for
it.

We moved on to the main course after trying all the live
counters. The mocktails which accompanied us till here were Gleeche (a litchi
and rose drink, absolutely refreshing and fruity) and Strawberry and basil
mojito (a mild fruity concoction, perfect to accompany the starters).
They had two types of non vegetarian biriyani, Lucknowi
Mutton Biriyani and Hyderabadi chicken biriyani. We obviously went in with the
Lucknowi Mutton biriyani and were very happy about it! Lightly flavoured rice
and perfectly done meat.
There were also a chicken and a mutton gravy preparation and
both were remarkable. One was rich and creamy and the other spicy: common
factor being the well cooked meat of course!
Now coming down to the desserts, they had the barbeque
nation special Kulfi counter here. I (Priyanjana) usually look forward to the
Kulfi here, every time. Loved the kulfi this time as well!
The other desserts were assorted pastries, fresh cut fruits,
gulab jamun, different flavours of ice cream and phirni. All of these were up
to the mark.

All in all we really enjoyed the new concept and the live
stations. Thumbs up from both of us!
So, if you really love dining in Barbeque Nation and other
buffet restaurants in general do give this a try!
In all probability, you’ll love it!
In case you visit, do let us know about your experience.
Till then—bon appétit!
