Barbeque Nation, Barbecue restaurant in Kankanady, Mangaluru, India.
Barbeque Nation is a grill restaurant in the Kankanady area of Mangaluru, India, where each table has a built-in grill set into its surface. Guests cook their own portions of meat and vegetables directly at the table, with unlimited access to a buffet throughout the meal.
The chain started with a single location in India and over time became one of the country's largest barbecue groups. That growth helped bring the idea of table grilling to cities across the country.
Barbeque Nation is known across India for letting guests grill their food right at the table, which makes the meal feel social and hands-on. The menu draws from Indian cooking traditions, with tandoori-style marinades sitting alongside other regional preparations.
Booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends or when visiting with a group, as the restaurant fills up quickly during evening hours. Arriving early after opening gives the best choice of seating and avoids a wait.
Throughout the meal, servers bring freshly marinated portions to the table at regular intervals without guests having to ask. This means the grill at the table stays active for most of the meal, with very few pauses between rounds.
