Barbeque Nation opens first outlet

Barbeque Nation, one of Asia’s most celebrated and pioneering casual dining chains, officially made its Sri Lankan debut with the opening of its first-ever outlet at Level 2 of Colombo City Centre. Making Sri Lanka the fifth country outside of India in its expansive range of 200 plus outlets in India, UAE, Malaysia and Oman, the launch had former Sri Lankan Skipper Aravinda de Silva as chief guest. This launch marks a significant milestone in the brand’s global expansion journey, which also eyes Saudi Arabia, Sharjah and Thailand for its next expansion.

A Brand Built on Experience, Quality, and Innovation

Founded in 2006 in India, Barbeque Nation revolutionized the casual dining landscape with its Live Grill on the Table concept, allowing diners to grill their own skewers of meats, seafood, and vegetables right at their table. With its core values of quality, innovation, and

warm hospitality, Barbeque Nation is more than just a restaurant—it’s an interactive culinary adventure where guests can indulge in unlimited flavors, live food stations, and festive-themed dining experiences.
