"BBQN is better
than any grill in NCR" this is what I here from everyone. After a
huge "Tamasha" in CP Bar where I had the most disastrous
experience and an attack from paid freeloaders, I decided to visit the famous
Barbeque Nation at Sohna Road, Gurgaon with my wife to celebrate V day.
As we entered the
premises, the security informed us about free parking for BBQ guests. They
have a well managed valet parking so that guests don't feel harassed to spot a
parking place.
The manager at the
reception greeted us with a smile and requested us to sit in the waiting corner
for 5-10 minutes. The wait was over soon and we got our seat. The first
thing what I observed is the accurate height of the tables, suitable
for everybody. The distance between the chairs and the Barbeque is within
reach for four guests and the seats are also quite comfortable. Not to
forget the cleanliness and hygiene.
There was a little
glitch in the washroom of water shortage for which the manager apologized and
came to me after few minutes to inform that it has been fixed. This is a
perfect example that the staff is serious about every small problem the
guests face.
And now food time :) We
got a very warm welcome from Biku, a very friendly staff who attended
us. I opted for lemon ice tea and my wife settled for fresh lime in
the complimentary drinks. They were refreshing and amazing. A surprise
Valentine Cake was served to us. What could be more warm and sweet than
this!
Among the starters we
had:
Cajun spicy Patoto –
Must have, the taste is awesome full 5 on 5
Paneer Malai Tikka- Good
4 on 5
Labanese grill Veg- 4/5
Barbeque Pinaple-3/5
Chilli Corn Steak3/5
Veg Kabab-4.5/5
I hope my wife can give
much better reviews on Veg and I dug in most into non-veg food
Non Veg Starters
Peri Peri Chicken- 5/5
Tandoori Tangri-4.5/5
Moroccon Seekh Kabab-5/5
Were also served with
sweet Bread which was fresh and soft yes of course tastes pleasant. We enjoyed
our Barbeque.
The courteous staff
made sure that guests are happy and satisfied. So they went to each table and
asked for feedback. They also offered to customize food in case someone wanted.
The staff was on the toes singing songs for guests celebrating their
anniversary or birthdays.
Then it was time
for main course. I can only write for non veg; I am sure my better half had the
same experience with veg.
Non Veg
Chicken Dum Biryani
Masala-4/5
Burani Ghost- 5/5
Nimbu Makhan Ka
Murg-4.5/5
Fish and Hot Garlic
Sauce- 5/5
Out of the above I am in
love with Burani Ghost and Fish and Hot garlic Sauce. We were almost full but
as a true Indian we always have reserve for sweets. Desserts had an amazing
variety and the taste drove us crazy J
Walnut Brownie with
peanuts-5/5
Phirnee-5/5
Pan Icecream with
Gulkand and Khas Syrup-5/5
Angoori Gulab
Zamun-4.5/5
Charlotte de Royal mango
cake-5/5
Out of all the Pan Ice
Cream and Phirnee was out of this world. It seems desserts were prepared
by experienced chef because they were not overloaded with sweets
unlike the regular Indian sweets.
As we finished our
heavenly lunch, and were preparing to leave, in came the last
surprise of the day. The floor manager came with a camera and took a
picture of us together. I assumed it would be for their wall or soft board
display. While waiting for our car to arrive, the manager came back with
the hard copy of our picture nicely framed.
Conclusion- The overall
experience was beyond words. We met with very friendly staff and honest
gestures from them. The food, the ambience, staff all were excellent.
Good Job BBQN. We surely
will come again.
I have always found BBQ nation fun and love their starters. I generally skip the main course and fill myself with the starters.
ReplyDeleteTrue but trust me their main course is equally awesome. Do try the fish curry next time.
