This week I visited Absolute Barbecues- India’s first wish grill restaurant that serves you different varieties of meat from Rabbit, Emu, Quail to Squid, Shark and Octopus.

With their first outlet launch in Noida at sector 62, Absolute Barbecues has a mesmerising interiors- a large space decorated with an orange color theme with excellent lighting. I literally felt like entering as a busy American diner. ABs has four counters in total — the wish grill, the bar (they are yet to receive their alcohol serving license), the dessert counter and the main course buffet veg/nonveg. Below is my in-depth review for the place.

The Food

Wish Grill

AB undoubtedly goes a step further by offering a menu with exotic meats. The ‘wish’ grill is more like a stir-fry counter than a grill where you have a choice to select your favourite meat from Rabbit, Emu, Quail, Squid, Shark Octopus, your choice of veggies and the selection of rice or noodles. After you select, they will prepare your bowl stir frying your selection with your favourite sauces and spices. Don’t worry if you are a vegetarian. There are a variety of ‘wish grill’ choices available for veg ones too.

Starters

Well, you’ll also gets a grill on your tables, though it was more for a regular veg & non veg items like chicken, prawns, pineapple, melon, paneer, fish etc. In starters, the grilled Pineapple with cinnamon and honey, creamy potato kajun and Crispy Corn were my favourites.

You can also enjoy savoury items like chaat, tikki, gol gappa, pastas & pizzas on their live pasta/pizza counters.

Drinks

They have an individual menu for drinks and we ordered Virgin Colada, Bloody Merry, Virgin Mojito. Mine was Virgin Colada that was tasting so creamy. It was prepared from Pineapple juice and coconut cream as mentioned on the menu under the drink.

Main Course- Buffet

They had a big buffet for main course that has a paneer dish, mix veg, mutton rogan josh, chilli chicken gravy, prawn curry, assorted breads, veg/chicken biryani and other side dishes. In love with their chicken biryani and mutton rogan josh.

Dessert

They do have a live counter for Jalebees. These kesar infused Jalebees will surely activate your sweet tooth. The little Gulaab Jamuns and hot Gajar halwa and live ice-cream counter is a must try. You have a choice of toppings and sauces on your ice-cream. A separate glassed refrigerator had a variety of desserts placed from Rabdi, cakes, fruit custards to much more.

Extra-ordinary Service

A special appreciation is needed for the staff here. Always smiling and responsive. I specially owe a big thanks to our serving staff member Mr Ajay for serving us so well with passion & a smile on face. The way they celebrate each and every birthday is overwhelming. This place is just perfect to celebrate your special occasions like birthdays, Anniversaries, Corporate functions etc.
