Absolute Barbecues, Barbecue restaurant in Port Said, United Arab Emirates
Absolute Barbecues is a barbecue restaurant in the Port Said district of Dubai, where meats, seafood, and vegetables are cooked at the table on heated stones. The restaurant has both indoor seating and an outdoor area.
The restaurant opened in Port Said with a concept built around cooking food directly at the guest's table rather than in a kitchen. This approach was relatively new for the area at the time and set it apart from more conventional dining spots.
The restaurant draws large family groups and friend gatherings who share dishes across the table while watching the food being cooked in front of them. This way of eating together is very much part of how people in the UAE enjoy a meal out.
The restaurant opens in the evenings and is a good option for dinner rather than lunch. A reservation is worth making if you are coming with a large group, as tables can fill up quickly.
The heated stones used at the table reach a very high temperature and hold that heat throughout the meal. This means guests can control how long they cook their food, making each portion as done or as rare as they like.
