    Current Review on last visit: At Door: Reservation got cancelled by unknown (as per them) and with no courtesy denied me at the door. They clearly said all tables are full... But when I called the call centre, the alloted me the table in 5 seconds... Not sure why the person at restaurant was unable to help me... Seats: Few tables were free until I complete half the time I spent there. Still there are not ready to allot... Food: Almost all the food are same flavour and spicy... Earlier they used to ask us for our taste and adjust the flavours accordingly... Which didn't happen now... Supply: Pretty fast and 5 star to it... Make your Choice Section: It is always a mess... Never received what I ask... Buffet: Not that great... Except few most of the food are less in taste... Conclusion: Need a better lead to handle the crowd... 3 Years Ago: Great hospitality... Good menu at starters... But less at buffet... Space in buffet area is very small for the number of tables... Bit costly...

    The food really taste good than other outlets, also they serve more quantity in exotic dishes unlike other outlets which serve only more onions in it. The service was good. If they have some live music it would be good

    Food is average. Service from a serving person takes longer.. They don't serve the food which we require . They just dump the food which is not required by the customer. Even though we ordered non veg they just dump us with veg dishes only. Plates was not big enough for a main dish

    Food was spicy and very tasty the starts specially and loved the variety of deserts for after meal. Service was quick and fast considering a huge number of people came. Definitely worth eating for the price as the food is near unlimited.

    This place is tucked away from porur. The map marking is very precise and easy access. We have car and bike parking in the premises. They change the theme every now and then for comfortable ambience. It's is advanced to book the table before going in person. The people are very nice and friendly and they are at your service when you call. The live counters are also available. The best part I personally like is the dessert range. Do try with your tribe. It is worth it.

    Took the veg buffet! Coming 2nd time .. Starter Grills were good... Roti and dishes were good. Biryani was not heated up but its flavor was nice. Welcome drink not available ...and they confused us with the prices saying complimentary and then charging us up! Pizza was missing in live counter.. pasta only white sauce available. Nothing more .chaats only Pani puri available.. finished with curd rice it was nice 👍🏻 Ambience was decent and good... Lovely. Desserts were fine! Limited options .. Overall one can try once .

    Very Well Performing Restaurant. Specially I like the Hospitality they give to there Customers. If we talk about the taste That is also very Nice. Specially NonVeg items. But honestly They have to still work on Veg Items. But still it's 9.5 Rating restaurant.

    A good experience with Absolute Barbecues. Taste and quality of the food was good. But few thinks I feel bad. Example in ice cream stall they hide Choco chips, nuts, chocolates etc... If you ask 2times then only thy add it. Please display all transparently to every one. Otherwise it was a good experience.

  • 4/5 Akshaya P. 8 months ago on Google
    23-06-2023. I am changing by seeing today's attitude with AB's Porur. The, supervisor with c11 table is very arrogant with their employe . He slapped one employee infront of me. The employee is very kind nature to me but don't know why that supervisor (the guy who wearing the black uniform shirt) fellow slapped him. He kept on asking me sir bill, sir bill .After that I felt very bad to stay there and eat more . I visited four to six times to AB's but this time I got very disappointed ☹️. 15-05-2023 Such a warm welcome from the team.. food is very delicious 😋 lot of items and overall the hospitality is very good...pls try corn fry.....

    Good Ambience, Barbecue tasted good. But main dish is very average. They can have more salads and desserts for this cost. But overall good. Service and hospitality is good. I expect people speaking tamil at-least one or two. Most of them doesn’t know tamil.

  • 4/5 Susheela S. 6 months ago on Google
    The ambience is good. It could easily accommodate around 70+ in one go. The staff here are polite and welcoming. Starters for both veg and non veg was too good. Veg starters included panneer tikka, malai panneer, mushroom tikka, soya tikka, malai soya, crispy corn, cheesy potato, Pani poori etc. Non veg starters included chicken tikka, mutton roll, prawn grilled, fish grilled etc. Main course also had decent variety and is commendable in taste. There is also a live counter. Desserts were amazing. Overall best for the cost.

    This place was Good looking. Parking facilities were good. About the Food it was Above average only . Main course is bit disappointing.... Can spend good time with friends and family...🤩 I have shared a picture of some Watermelon and pineapple just kept in the parking space .... Which is not a good sign for the Absolute Barbecue.

  • 4/5 Nirmal K. 1 year ago on Google
    The ambience is very good with a good space to move around during a large gathering. Food is Ok not so exceptional with average quality. Even though they have a very wide variety only a few of the dishes suit your appetite. Desert section quality to be improved a lot along with the live counters. I ordered a dish in live which took more than 30 minutes to serve since they forget it. One irritating factor is that the waiters are always requesting for a rating while we enjoy our food. They should have asked when the customers have completed their food and are ready for billing. For me it's an ok place to spend time with your family.

    Courteous staff but not much variety in main dish. Organising is bad at the time of huge crowds. Had to wait for a moment to get the table.

    We went 40 persons as a group. Chicken items only having good taste. Fish items are not able to recognise the taste. Prawns are sufficiently supplied. Live stalls are active but taste is not as expected. Ice cream and cakes are good. Overall average taste only.

    Best Foods. Starters are really good. Main course we tried with chicken dum biriyani. They have a main course Sri Lankan fish curry. Best fish curry i ever had in my life. If you visit here, pls give a try to srilankan fish curry. Deserts and ice creams delicious. Good ambience and good customer support.

  • 1/5 karthick r. 1 year ago on Google
    FRIED RICE WAS STALE AND CHICKEN WAS OLD PLEASE AVOID THIS LOCATION.. I went in there for lunch at 3 it was very crowded only one person wass taking care of 10 tables and it took 30 minutes for the first nonveg starters to arrive.. that too chicken was too hard and looked red(might be old). Prawn fish was good. Have been to ABS for years but this was the first bad experience that too with the food quality.. chicken fried rice was stale i felt like vomiting putting it in my mouth . And when i asked about the food quality the waiter guy says you have not visited for ten years and have come only 2 times.. how do they expect me to come everytime giving the same number? Cant my friend book ? Cant my corporate book? This was very very poor service.. thinking of complaining to FSSAI about the food quality

    As we all know that, there are so many barbeque available in chennai. Among those AB's always there in the top of the list. Food is good and their service and the atmosphere the positive one. Seats and table are more comfortable to sit and relax the food. If you want to chill with your office mates or family members then sure you can try this place.

  • 3/5 Mugunthini 8 months ago on Google
    It's the usual kind of AB's. It is located in a kind of residential area. Not on the sides of the main road. The way from parking to first floor where it is located is not so clean and the odour is not so nice. Same varieties of starters,main courses and dessert. Some of the desserts were a bit dry.

  • 5/5 Void M. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a very amazing place to celebrate not just family, but also your colleagues. A very good ambience with the occasional birthday party across the table. Very enjoyable experience with very good ample variety of food. An easy recommendation!

  • 5/5 Sofia S. 6 months ago on Google

  • 5/5 Philip 7 months ago on Google
    Excellent place to have a family get together ! The food was great especially the barbecue ! The only qualm for us was that we couldn't get biriyani during that time. Otherwise the food and service was great ! Great front desk too !

  • 3/5 KASI K. 2 years ago on Google
    I ordered couple non veg.Dessert are good. Butter chicken was good. Some items are not cooked properly. Mutton gravy should be better.

  • 4/5 Ajay K. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the most sought after Barbecue restaurants. Absolute Barbecue has the best starters , very minimal main course. Chats are average in the live counter. Deserts are Okish. The Pan ice cream is the pick for me. Made him to do 3 Pan ice creams for me. Service is good.

  • 3/5 Gokul S. 1 year ago on Google
    Service was super, I can say applause worthy. But the food was not the satisfying. Just worth for 3 stars.

  • 3/5 Sree J. 1 year ago on Google
    Liked the tnagar branch when I visited 2years ago. Tried this branch for a team outing little bit disappointed with the taste. Service wise good. Need some improvement in the mayonnaise taste also. Overall a mixed experience this time.

  • 4/5 Milton Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Food is very good. Waiter Anjan did an excellent job. The staffs treat us in an excellent way. Food items are very tasty. Complimentary drinks is also good. Both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes are awesome. It is not in the main road, we have to go inside a street.

  • 5/5 S A. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome place for a celebration. Tasty food. Customised grills is the best highlight. Great hospitality! Thank you for making our lunch a memorable one. Complete 5 stars! Keep this service the same way!

  • 4/5 Jensen S. 2 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Prithivi R. 2 years ago on Google
    Got an opportunity to bring my family for barbecue dinner first time everyone enjoyed lot.Food was good with as usual menu in all AB’s with respectful staffs. Problem was we waited about 30min then usual time even though already booked table. No one is help to get the correct table especially no receptionist at all & the car parking was pathetic ended up parking the car next street. Please make sure and get these correct before customer sit at the table. So that we will enjoy the food peacefully.!

    Its fantastic experience for the first time. And the people there we so attentive and calm...5star

  • 4/5 Srivatsan S. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the vegetarian option and the starters were plenty and also good. The main course however was not as good. The noodles didn't taste well (although it was cooked well), the biriyani was also average. The desserts were plenty and were good. The staff were very courteous and no problem with the parking.

  • 2/5 Punith B. 2 years ago on Google
    Went to absolute barbecue expecting the same old quality, but was left disappointed. The honey chicken served was very grainy and felt old. I thought it was just me but my whole family felt the same. Other staters were good as usual. The live counter is a disaster, we tried rabbit, quail, octopus and squid. Hands down all were foul smelling. It killed my palate. I would not visit again, worst experience in abs.
