  • 5/5 Abraham G. 2 years ago on Google
    Very good food, satisfying spread, Excellent service, especially the person who served us named Chandra was prompt on service and was quick to serve as per our needs. They even gave us a complimentary cake, with their catchy song attached to it, as it was my dad's birthday. Starters are the main attraction with a live grill on table, to keep the starters warm. Don't forget to spare some space for main course and dessert as you may get immersed in the starters itself with many repeats. They can even adjust the spice level as how we need, we just have to inform them in the beginning. Overall it was very good. I will definitely recommend, especially to those who can eat buffet well, considering the large spread.

    Went in for a dinner of 2 , cost 819+tax/head(Non-veg). Buffet with a splendid unlimited 3 course dinner(Starters-Main-Dessert). *Extra charge for the drinks* Best to go as a pair or more. Not worth for a solo try(will get bored alone😆) A not soo cheap nor a too costly experience. But worth it. Recommended for once in a while🤗

    Loved it ! Service was top notch. More improvement needed on the staters and mayyonaise. Rest all were good.

  • 5/5 Kannan K. 1 year ago on Google
    A proper barbeque nation experience for Trivandrum! The spot is awesome for any food lovers, although a bit pricey per person owing to the menu being entirely buffet. The spread is awesome, especially the starters. Even the desserts are quite numerous and yummy. Note: you pay additional for drinks.

    Visited this with a group of friends, it has lost its charm, the USP of BBQ nation is a juicy meat, now they are providing a fully cooked meat and it's completely dry, the Wow factor we had earlier is completely missing, Staffs are Friendly and taking the feedback. But no point in providing fresh ones after we are full. Service is good but definitely they need to revamp their flavours and kitchen. Not satisfied this time as I was earlier.

  • 3/5 Varun Ram S. 2 years ago on Google
    Haven't dined from here yet. However I have ordered the Barbeque in a box from Zomato and it costed me 850 Rs. The starters were more or less average only, seemed as tho it was made the previous day and heated and given to us. Main course had a lot of curries and it was decent. Desserts were also just okk. Overall , whether food was fresh or not, it was still edible and consumable. Quantity is also more than enough for 3-4 people. Overall I can conclude that the "Barbeque in a box" has a taste varying every day and in my opinion the best day to order will be Friday. Avoid ordering on days after days after a lockdown or some holiday, as food may not be fresh. Also the dining experience at Barbeque nation (take any city for that matter) is much different from the ordering experience.

    The best of the kind buffet at this price. The grilled items were all quite good. Surprisingly, the veg dishes always stood out. Our needs were catered by Mr. Sonthosh, who was very much courteous and had a smile on this face always. Would totally recommend.

    Good Experience with Service! Starters are goods! Main dish varieties are low compared to other branches! The taste of the food is delicious 😋 For kids below 6 years, they don't charge!! Parking is tough and the space available for parking is not enough! Book seats before visiting!!

  • 5/5 Johns K. 7 months ago on Google • 95 reviews
    We had a good time at Barbecue Nation in terms of food and service. The price is reasonable and the choices are decent; not just starters but the main course too. The service was pleasent especially Sakib who attended us. Desserts were good too, especially their Kulfi and vanilla ice-cream. Good option for a dine out.

  • 4/5 Camembert S. 3 years ago on Google
    Ended up here on friend 's suggestion. Didn't see any parking spot owned by the restaurant which put me in a stressful condition to find one. Once the car parked, reached the restaurant located on the 1st floor of the building. Went on a week day for lunch and waited few minutes next to the fish tank with beautiful fishes before getting a seat. It was occupied by families, colleagues, NRI s and other groups. The waiter explained the on going offer of unlimited barbecue and other dishes. You can only replace the barbecue order when you finish eating the previous order. They served chicken, shrimp, potatoes, vegetables, pineapple barbecues with variety of sauces. Then the main course included rice, curries and noodles. The meal was completed by the fruit salad, kulfi ice-cream, cakes and other desserts. It is quite expensive but worth experiencing.

  • 5/5 Dan D. 3 years ago on Google
    Its a good place for a foodie...!! I would highly recommend you guys to have the most of the starters and desserts. The main course is mediocre. If you wanna try it, feel free to do so. But the starters are pretty good. The service is also very good. SIDE NOTE: If you want you and your friend to have some extra entertainment, take your friend to BBQ Nation on his/her birthday, and make sure you let them knoe that its you're friend's birthday. Enjoy...!!!

    This place is fabulous. Food was awesome...just awesome..nice place to go with a large group or just 2 people.

  • 4/5 Aneesh N. 1 year ago on Google
    There is nothing more to say about this place. Excellent choice for bbq lovers. Even though they don't have much options in BBQ, they give the available things unlimited with a smile over their face... Their desert collection was also remarkable one. Wide variety of things... ♥ The dining area is big enough but the only problem I felt was it was not so cool inside. The air conditioning is not working perfect. Apart from these, we have ordered Pinacolada, but that was also not uoto the mark. When we raised this concern, they were agreed to replace the item... Their service is top notch... ♥

  • 3/5 Rishabh A. 1 year ago on Google • 50 reviews
    A nice place to visit with friends or co-workers. It has a buffet setup. The barbecue is average and definitely not worth the high price. Not much vegetables options. The service was good with helpful staff. The ambience was also nice. A good place to eat especially if your looking for something different than normal.

  • 2/5 Kritika S. 3 months ago on Google • 30 reviews New
    Place looks great. But the food was not upto the mark. I don't know much about non veg, friends said non veg was good. Since I m veg, there was not much options for veg person. And presentation was not well. Hope they will change the chefs and bring some more tastes in their food. Although manager was supportive.

  • 1/5 Sid R. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a disappointing experience. They gave us a time slot of 2 hours and we reached the restaurant by 6.20PM. They asked us to wait till 6.30 as they said they will be open only by then. We waited outside as there wasn't any space to wait inside the restaurant and when we came back there was a bunch of people waiting to get the temperature checked. And after the long process we got our seats by 6.40 and we had to wait for a long time for the starters to get served. So out of the 2 hours 30 minutes was already wasted. Coming to the food, the starters were tasteless. The grilled items were mostly dry and tasteless. Prawns and paneer were better. And they were not so quick on serving. Main course was Ok, Chicken Biriyani, Mutton Gravy and many other dishes were tasteless. They serve Basa fish for both starters and main course which was again tasteless and cheap. We asked for Naan items which were not served and they didn't even care to clear the plates on time, I had to request them to clear the table once and they didn't really care about it. Dessert section was considerably better all thanks to the Ice Cream. Tried one Kulfi which was nice. But again the dessert part was not as good as they look on the menu card. Also there wasn't even a welcome drink or a compliment drink. And get prepared to see the tiniest washroom in the world. Literally you can take a piss while you wash your hands, it's arranged so close which I found disguising. Never going back there for sure.

    Very few choices for vegetarians. Cajun potatoes were different from those served in other BBQ Nations. Even mushrooms were not served. What they served and what is available in the menu while booking was so different. Some grilled items tasted of smoke

  • 5/5 maya s. 3 years ago on Google
    Barbeque Nation is one of the best restaurants in Trivandrum. It's been just one or two years since Barbeque Nation started their branch in TVM but then they stole all trivandians'heart. Their starters are the best ones especially those grilled foods.One speciality which I noticed there is that they will gift a cake if it's birthday on the day we are going to BBQ nation. Early bookings will be better to visit without any chaos.From the road,it seems like their is no space inside but when we get into the restaurant, we can see that it's so spacious. The service and hospitality is just awesome. The fish aquarium which we see first when getting in is one of the major attractions there apart from their food. The amount which we get from us is worthy for food. You should definitely visit this restaurant.It will be a great experience.

  • 5/5 Rahul R. 3 years ago on Google
    The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering starters,The waiters are very nice and do everything possible to satisfy their clients. Must try: ⭐ Prawns ⭐ Boneless Chicken ⭐ Chicken Drumsticks ⭐ Cajun Potatoes ⭐ Pastries and Icecreams They will serve an complimentary cake and sing a bday song for those who have bday when you are visiting 😍😍

  • 5/5 Sree S. 2 years ago on Google
    We ordered delivery for dinner and I loved it. From the packaging to the variety to the taste of the food, it was a perfect, impressive experience. Also: world’s smallest gulab jamuns!

  • 4/5 Abey T. 2 years ago on Google
    Good service and attitude from the staffs. You should tell the spice level otherwise food will be more spicy. Overall experience is good. Good to celebrate special occasions. They will provide cakes and sing greeting songs and kids will really enjoy it. Not much parking and be careful on bumper scratch since there is a slop in the parking area

  • 5/5 Joebin S. 3 years ago on Google
    The best place to eat food for a day if you have about 1000rs for one person . This store mainly focuses on buffet dining but also includes takeaway and deliveries. The buffet dining is excellent and I would say the best. You can fill your tummy with the starters itself

  • 5/5 AKHIL D. 2 years ago on Google
    Definitely fine dining. Servers are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

  • 1/5 Mohammed T. 3 months ago on Google • 28 reviews New
    Ordered grilled prawns, seekh kebab, Paratha and naan. Prawns is very very very raw. Kebab is not cooked enough and paratha as well. They had given extra paneer tikka in my delivery which I have not ordered and that paneer is just literally taken out from the freezer. Raw!!!! Call the restaurant manager Sagir Alam. He argued for some time and told to send the video on WhatsApp. Then I had to wait for sometime and I call him and he is silent and told if I need can replace the order. Already waited for 2 hours and got delivered now need to wait for another hour. I asked for refund he told to talk with Zomato for the money. Bad service! Bad food! Money well wasted!! 1000 rupees for this and ruined my stomach! ......................................................................................... Well, have to say after this there comes second part. The restaurant service team had contacted me and the chef who packed my food had also spoken. They were very polite and had sincere apology. I do felt bad. They re-sended me another delivery. I had requested for non veg box meal. The chef delivered the food by him self. He is Great! The rest you can look at the picture I had uploaded. Indeed the service is the Best!!

    Budget buffet at TVM..they have no. Of starters like grilled chicken, fish, prawns and veg items. Limited main course and wide varieties of desserts. They have normal dinning area..the staffs are really friendly.

  • 1/5 RaSeEn R. 3 years ago on Google
    Worst ever experience in a barbecue nation franchise. Highly disappointed with the quality and taste of the food. We were highly excited before walking in and so disappointed after walking out.

  • 5/5 Irene Susanna K. 3 years ago on Google
    LOVED THE EXPERIENCE!!! Absolutely impressed by BBQ Nation. My husband and I went here for dinner and I must say I've never had quite exquisite food till date. I loved the different choices of barbecue they had to offer. The ambiance was great. It's been some time since I saw some crowd ever since corona. Well, the food was lovely and delicious. It might be a little bit on the expensive side, but it's totally worth it. Will surely hit here for more.

  • 4/5 Dilip K K. 3 years ago on Google
    Pro tip: Skip the main course. Enjoy the starters to your heart's content and then jump to desserts. 😋

  • 4/5 Sreeram s. 3 years ago on Google
    Delicious food; wide range of buffet dinner 🍝. Love the kulfis and dessert.. surprisingly! we got the compliment cake as well for the occasion. Enjoyed the food.

  • 4/5 Athira S. 1 year ago on Google
    A very good place for a family or team outing. The service of staff is outstanding. Prawn and fish barbeques are really mouthwhelming, the only drawback that I have felt is the main course. They have to substantially improve the main course for the amount we pay. Visit them week days sunce weekends are a bit pricey. We got coupons from nearby app which was a great deal..

  • 5/5 Christo S. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful as usual. Could find some differene in taste.. mainly in fish.. Rest all r similar... People have choice to go to Lulu Mall one now. This is good. I was helped by Mr. Khatre... He was making sure everyone was happy with the food all the time. Manager Mr. Pradeep Singh was of great help. We all loved it... Mentioned their names as they were exceptional with us... Thank you so much.

    Barbeque Nation is renowned all over the nation so no more words to say. Well excellent ambiance for dining , salubrious and comfy atmosphere. The dishes are really delicious non veg as well as vegs. The crew members are very polite and helpful they serve us very well. This is a buffet only restaurant costing nearly 660 rupees per person with unlimited dishes option. Not enough space for parking , can only park a few cars at a time.

    Average Services at this Trivandrum branch. Dishes and bowls were not available. We often had to fetch staff to give us plates and bowls so that we could start taking food from Main courses. Grilled items were often either undercooked or overcooked. For the price we pay, services were very much underpar.
