Barbeque Nation, Indian restaurant chain in Thane, India
Barbeque Nation is a buffet-style restaurant in Thane, India, where each table has a built-in grill set into its surface. Guests cook their own marinated meats and vegetables at their seats while additional courses are brought to the table.
The chain opened its first location in 2006 in Mumbai and then expanded to cities across India. The table-top grill concept was new at the time and became the defining feature of the brand.
The menu brings together Indian marinades and international grill recipes, so guests can try both at the same table. There are meat and vegetable options, making it easy to eat here regardless of dietary habits.
Booking ahead is a good idea since tables fill up fast, especially on weekends and holidays. Wear comfortable clothes, as you will be cooking at the table and some smoke is normal during the meal.
Many visitors only realize at the table that they are handling part of the cooking themselves, which turns the meal into something more active than a standard restaurant visit. The result on the plate partly depends on how you manage the grill.
