This will give you a feeler of Barbeque Nation Set up. Though on positive node.- Unlimited welcome drink and this one is very tasty. Without any shame we almost refilled 4-5times.- Very Courteous staffs and ample seating space. You could consider this one in your impromptu dining spots without reservations.- No complaints on neither the grill nor the selections, overall content with spread.

Its one of the best places for amazing grilled item buffet. The food serving time is kinda long but the disappointment will only be there until the food arrives. The taste is absolutely amazing the quality and quantity is also good. The price is also not bad moreover they have a very good ambience.

Open Flame is an interesting take on the All you can eat Grill + Buffet concept. The most significant improvement is that the favoring on the starters and grill are unique. The Buffet however needs to improve a lot. Many items look good but tastes bland. Service is decent. However the waiters are often confused themselves. Besides service is slow and it takes a long time for the bill to be made up. I recommend the restaurant to as a one time try as long as they dont improve the quality of their food. On a personal note I often found their strong room freshener to be nauseating.

The open flame kitchen is a barbeque based restaurant in the second floor of the BCG hotel Atlantis junction Kochi. The theme of this restaurant is based on live barbecue set up on the table itself. The Ambience of the hotel is good. The staff are cooperative. The Menu consist of unlimited live bbq coupled with a la carte buffet dinner from 7 p.m. to 10:45 p.m. everyday. The price ranges from 600 plus per head.

Its an okay restaurant. Taste isnt that great nor they have an extraordinary barbeque service. It will fill in as a average unlimited restaurant.

Should provide zero star. Please be very careful about having food from here. Unhygienic place. Cockroach are clawing over the dining table. Huge risk in having food hereInformed the management and they dont bother and asked me to change the table.I walked out ...

One of the worst experience ever in my entire life...Lathargic air-conditioned....poor service in terms of serving beer and starters... And above all overcharged with extra beer bottles in final bill...this happen twice in a day ...the people serving drinks are drunk and not able to justify the overcharged drinks....So its better to avoid open flame bar or keep tab on the number of bottles you drink...

We tried their buffet lunch with barbeque.. Buffet was lavish with good variety dishes, including nadan fish curry and shell fish(kakka) thoran.. But the barbeque items were not upto the mark.. The desserts tastes different, but we enjoyed it. The ambience was also good. We felt its worth a try for a special weekend.

If you want to get disappointed please go to Open Flame. I have never been disappointed with a family out dinner.May be we are used to Barbecue Nation standards; absolutely no comparison. Stingy starters. We waited for an eternity to next round of starters. Looks like they are trained not to serve beyond certain measure. Very poor spread of dishes in the buffet counter. Very unfriendly customer service except for one girl.They spoiled our evening.

At open flame we tried the unlimited seafood buffet dinner. They do remind me of BBQ Nation. Personally felt a bit disappointed with the unlimited starters (compared to their competitor or may be a bad/unlucky day for us). What I felt good is that the place has a decent and quite ambience and have a good vibe which helped us to spend more time there. They do serve beer at table.

I have visited open flame kitchen restaurant couple of times and have a mixed opinion on their service. Initially at their starting phase I shall say their food and services were excellent and was worth for the money paid. The staffs were professional in attending you and was ensuring our orders are properly taken care of. But these days I shall say their service is getting worst whether it is taste of the food or proffessionalism of staff. Had instances were the staffs were hardly serving you anything and had to call them each time for filling the starters which is pathetic. I stopped going to the restaurant when the starters were not even properly salted and seasoned. Literally the welcome drink become not at all welcoming us and we had to remind the staffs couple of time to get it.

This is one of the best place in Kochi for food and drinks. The staff attitude is very positive and warming. The Glow lounge bar has a good menu of cocktails and other drinks and the ambience is very good and not much crowded. The best part is the price is low when compared to nearby restaurant/bars.

Can’t i give rating in minus?? I have visited 6-7 times there. Stating their service was good. But now it’s very bad. I visited this Saturday with 6 other friends. You have to wait for your atleast 40-50 minutes. We waited for chappati for 45 minute, for juice 50 minutes. And for table cleaning it’s took 1 hour. After that we went to manager for complain one of their staff showing his bad attitude, like we have other customers as well we don’t have that much staff

Great food and such fine hospitality. It was our 3rd wedding anniversary and we planed to have dinner here, The staffs are always around to help and serve you,Cant stay without mentioning the outstanding service provided by Jesty and 2 other staffs, they made us feel like home and they also took care of my daughter so that we could have our dinner comfortably. We left the restaurant with a fillrd stomach and an even more filled heart We wil ddefinitely come bake with friends and family. Keep up the good work.I highly recorded OPEN FLAME KITCHEN to each and everyone out there.

Unlimited Seafood Barbeque with All Beverages ..Ahaa..!The fume of charcoal, soothing classic music to ears and appetizing smell of live BBQ, especially the SEAFOODs.Isnt it perfect ambiance for food lovers?The grills are embedded on each table, so one can give the taste accordingly to their food. It is true if entered to Open Flame with starving, then for sure everyone come out with stuffed tummy.We get good variety in both vegetarian as well as non vegetarian barbecue starters especially the Seafood’s. The best part is, they serve all this unlimited. So, one can get over with grilled food only. But of course would not like to miss sumptuous Multi Cuisine Lunch or Dinner buffet, which again has variety of Biryani,Pasta, soups, salads and great variety of deserts and all types of Beverages.Imagine! A place where food is being served and served and served.:-)To taste this mouth watering food, don’t have to think when it comes to money as it is very economic Rs.599 only.

Review №57

The concept looks almost like Barbeque Nations.Fairly Good Service. Grilled Fish is good.But Thats where the similarities end.Need to work more on several aspects - primarily Grill items (timing and level of cooking items when presented on the table, size and grade of the items, correct mix of the masala, spice levels and surely taste.Also need work on the buffet items taste.To be fair, I thought the Mutton Kebab was exquisite!

Indian, Chinese, Lebanese, Mediterranean, Barbecue, AsianThe place essentially serves middle-eastern food with some north indian and k...Well it was nice but not special as it...Great Kababs (tikkas), and dal, variety of Rotis.... ordered some Arabic cuisines and Indian dishes taste was good but we coul... We visited the restaurant and did order the special. Well it was nice but not special as it is available in all the other nearby hotels as well. So I guess they need to work up on their special. They have a fever called falloda,well that was tasty and had a great quantity. But again I do think the food were overpriced. And yes their bathroom should be cleaned daily or at least once in two days.
