Absolute Barbecue or rather the famous AB's is surely a popular pick for expats from the Indian Subcontinent. The main reason for this would be its well flourished and well-known brand chain in India. As known to all, the unique chain originates from India, and has gained popularity for specialty grills which happens not only in the kitchen but also, at the table. This method of grill and barbequing is common in other parts of the world. However, AB's was one of the brands that brought this style into the Indian market. More than Ale Carte, they specialize in a whole set Buffet menu. Thereby, it makes it a spot best suited for any occasion; be it a social gathering, an office lunch or even an ordinary dinner with the family.
They believe that every individual has a constant change in mood of what they would like to eat. Therefore, AB's surely tries to help each individual to match their taste requirement. Another believe that the brand upholds is that 'Grillin' is not a way of cooking food, it's a way of life'. Since the origination of the brand, the reach of AB's has been tremendous. They already have outlets in 3 states, namely Ahmedabad, Bangalore and Chennai. In Dubai, the brand made its debut not too long ago with their first branch on Sheikh Zayed right next GEMS Wellington School. With just a matter of months, they also opened their second branch, which is located right opposite Deira City Centre. This clearly indicates the amount of market presence they hold. |
I recently visited the SZR branch for lunch on a week-day. The outlet was packed with office staff, who found it an apt spot for a corporate lunch and team building. As mentioned earlier, AB's surely offers an ambiance suitable for all. Despite the rush and packed outlet, the efficient team was able to arrange a table in less than 10 minutes.
Even though it was not my first visit to the outlet, I was still excited because every visit marks a yummy foodie experience. Each and every staff ensures to provide a comfortable food-ing zone when at AB's. A special mention to Mohammed Ali, my server for that day! He was prompt in serving, with friendly hospitality.

The feast begins, with unlimited indulgence of Live BBQs. The BBQ consists of ample vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. As vegetarian options, we were served Pesto Mushroom, Singaporean Grilled Veg, Crispy Corn, Jalandhari Paneer Tikka, Churrasco Pineapple and Dahi Ke Sholey. Each item had a unique touch in the preparation style.
My personal favorites from the veg grills were the Crispy Corn, Churrasco Pineapple and Dahi Ke Sholey. The corn pearls were roasted until the coating was crisp. The Churrasco pineapple, an exclusive pineapple appetizer, was chargrilled on the skewer and brushed with a touch of cinnamon. It was served as a healthy element in the meal that helps in digestion. The Dahi Ke Sholey, #MyMostFavorite appetizer was a preparation of delicious and crispy sweet cheese potato in creamy sweet and spicy yogurt mix #BurstOfFlavours.
The non-veg spread included a variety of seafood and meat-y grills. Chicken Shish Tawook, Parsley fish, Bhatti da Murgh, and Mutton Seekh kabab were the nonstop options. My personal #Favorites was the Parsley Fish and Bhatti da Murgh. These picks had the perfect marination that allowed me to indulge and taste each and every flavour of the recipe.
The Parsley fish grill was a preparation of boneless fish in green marinade, and was grilled to delicate juicy texture. It was served on the skewer just like other grills. The Bhatti da Murgh, another highlight tikka with bone was literally

Another unique concept at AB's is the Wish Grill, which allows you to pick from both non-veg / veg ingredients and have it prepared according to your tastes and flavours. This concept at AB's is never to be missed. It is an interesting view to watch, as the chef prepares it right in front of you. My personal #Favorites is Shredded chicken prepared with spicy seasoning, bell peppers and jalapeños, and the other option I like to mix is Seafood prepared with Pesto and cheese. #ABsoluteDivine
As mentioned earlier, AB's never fails to surprise me every time I visit the outlet. During my last visit, I noticed that they had set up a new Kids Corner section with interesting picks for children of all ages. Beside the kid's corner, they also had a Chaat section serving authentic street style Pani Puri, Bhel puri, and Sev Puri. Lastly, they also have a Barfi station offering three different types of Barfis #EndlessIndulgence.

At AB's, I personally feel the buffet counter seems to lose its importance because, by the time you arrive at the counter your appetite is already craving for the next #Interesting #Dessert section. Although, the Biryani is not to be missed! The prominent and aromatic flavour of saffron used in the biryani is very tempting.
Upon request, warm Rotis aka, flatbreads are served that goes well with the grills and gravy served at the #Buffet spread. There is also a Salad spread that consists of fresh cut-assorted veggies along with raita, coleslaw and corn.

The dessert section serves small bite servings of gooey cakes, mousse, and cake pops with the usual #IndianFavorite Gulab Jamun. They also have a Cold Stone station where the ice creams are mixed with your choice of add ons. My pick as always was Vanilla Ice cream with Brownie, Oreos and chocolate. #YummyInMyTummy!
AB's place never fails to impress me. It is a perfect dine in spot with unlimited buffet, grill and wish grill servings. The pricing for the meals are affordable and highly reasonable with quality food and great options.
Also, AB's follows a tradition of "No Tip". They believe in the concept "Tip Us With Your Smile".
Highly Recommended! Worth every penny!
