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 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 cricketer 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.
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. Celebrated Sri Lankan cricketer Aravinda de Silva was accompanied by his wife Anushka to the opening.
“The experience of having the live grill to the table barbeque concept is unique for Sri Lanka, he said. “And the wonderful spread at Barbeque Nation definitely adds flavour to the whole experience. Sri Lankans have an affinity for Indian food and therefore I think this concept has great promise.
