Barbeque Nation, Grilled cuisine restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai, India
Barbeque Nation is a restaurant in Bandra, Mumbai, where each diner cooks meat and vegetables on a small built-in grill set directly into the table. A buffet of additional dishes is also available alongside the grilled food.
The concept began in India in the 2000s as a new way of dining out and spread to many cities across the country. Bringing the grill to the table was a departure from how most restaurants operated at the time.
Families and groups of friends sit together at tables with built-in grills and cook their own food. This shared way of eating gives the meal a social quality that feels different from a standard restaurant visit.
Weekdays tend to be less busy than weekends, so arriving then makes for a more comfortable visit. Booking ahead is a good idea, particularly from Friday to Sunday when tables fill up fast.
The meat and vegetables arrive at the table already marinated, so there is no preparation needed before placing them on the grill. Each person at the table can then cook their portion to their own liking, adjusting how long it stays on the heat.
