Barbeque Nation Rajkot

Barbeque Nation Rajkot is an outlet of the national barbecue-buffet chain, located on the 3rd floor of Crystal Mall on Kalavad Road in Rajkot, Gujarat, India. The concept centres on a live grill built into each table: staff bring skewers of marinated items that diners cook themselves, followed by a buffet of mains, rice, breads and desserts. In Rajkot, where vegetarian dining is the norm, the grilled menu leans on items such as paneer tikka, which is listed as the signature, and a live grill platter, with a chocolate fudge dessert often cited as a closing favourite. There is no chef lineage or Michelin recognition; the appeal is the interactive format and the unlimited meal at a fixed price, typically around INR 1,500-1,800 for two (USD 16-19), which makes it one of the more expensive dinners in the city by local standards. The dining room is lively and noisy, with groups, families and birthday celebrations common, and the dress code is casual. Because Gujarat is a dry state, the usual chain practice of serving alcohol does not apply here, and drinks are mocktails, soft drinks and similar beverages. Reservations are advisable on weekends and during festivals, when the mall brings heavy footfall; booking a day or more in advance for Friday to Sunday dinners is sensible, and the chain's reservation line can be reached on +91 80 6902 8773. Lunch and dinner are served. Being inside a mall on Kalavad Road, the restaurant offers air-conditioning and parking, and can be paired with shopping or cinema. Visitors who want a quiet meal are better served elsewhere, while groups looking for a festive, all-you-can-eat evening will find it suitable.
