Charcoals Cafe
"Success comes in small, often unnoticeable incremental steps. My journey to get charcoals where it is today has not been an easy one. Transforming the old place with its decor was a bold step in the right direction. I wanted to infuse the Indian cuisine with the homely feeling one gets when they are welcomed home by their family. Because that is how I've always seen my customers. Not as "people who are here to eat" but family.We have built up a strong relationship over the years with the general public including some well known celebrities . Muhammad sultan"

Very kind staff, excellent food. They squeezed us in even though we didn’t have a booking, and let us take away the leftovers in boxes. Dietary restrictions: Really good gluten free options!
Karen and I recently dined at Charcoal, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. The food, service, and ambiance were exceptional. Muhammad Sultan, also known as Ali, the manager, provided service that exceeded our expectations. We ordered the following dishes: Chicken Pakora Onion Bhaji On the house from the Charcoal team Chicken Tikka Tandoori Special Dum Biryani with Medium Curry Sauce Naan Bread Cobra beer The Chicken Tikka Tandoori was perfectly charred, and the meat was incredibly succulent. The Chicken Pakora stood out as it was not overly battered; instead, it featured a light, crisp homemade batter that was delightful. The Dum Biryani was the star of the show, offering a generous portion that provided excellent value for money. Karen was particularly impressed with the Naan Bread, declaring it one of the best she has ever tasted and stating she would return just for that! We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary Onion Bhaji, which was crispy on the outside and wonderfully soft inside—a thoughtful gesture from Ali and the team. To complement our meal, I enjoyed a large bottle of Cobra beer, which was the perfect choice. Fair warning, the food does pack some heat, so be ready for a spicy treat—haha! Overall, it has been some time since we’ve had such excellent Indian food. We took our time and felt well looked after by the attentive staff. We highly recommend Charcoal to anyone in town craving Indian cuisine. Do stop by and experience this wonderful establishment for yourself!
You can put million awards on the wall but if the food isn’t up to the mark, I’d doubt your awards! I ordered for a Chicken Biryani! The biryani was amazing but the chicken in it was hard chewy ! I was expecting a lot from this Pakistani restaurant which markets itself as Indian The worst policy is this force you to order a main course and don’t even allow us to take doggy bags. I’d give it a pass!
The best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. Incredible atmosphere. Super comfortable and yet stylish booth like seating, bright clean. Absolutely amazing staff, super professional and friendly and waiting on your every need. Bringing dishes at perfect timing. Never had to wait. The food was simply divine. Everything from starter of poppadams with such incredible selection of sauces and chutneys some of which I’ve never tried before, simply an amazing culinary experience. Everything was just absolutely delicious and my personal favorite was the chicken vindaloo with garlic naan. Amazing place and we will keep coming back. Also there’s a very convenient parking building just around the corner.
Came here on our first night travelling through Glasgow as we were craving some Indian food to warm us up. First let me say that the service was astounding! Our waiter and the manager were so attentive and went above and beyond for us. The food was also fantastic. All in all we shared the Salmon Tandoori, Vegetable Pakora, Garlic Naan Bread, Lamb Korma with Coconut Rice, and another Lamb Curry that was on the recommended section of the menu. Couldn’t fault any of the food - it was just far more than what we were expecting so we ended up taking half of it home which just means more for lunch! Definitely give this place a visit if you’re in Glasgow.
Came in on a whim and it did not disappoint. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. Excellent customer service. My wife got the butter chicken and I got a lamb dish. The meat in both of our dishes were so tender that the meal would fall apart as you would try to skewer it with your fork. Overall excellent experience.Food: 5/5
Fantastic restaurant in Glasgow, I went for lunch with my team and it did not disappoint. £10.95 for a two course meal. I would definitely go back.
Judging by the reasonable prices and central location, I was not expecting food of the quality I got tonight. I love lamb chops, but so many places normally cook them until they're dry. Not Charcoals - it was rich with rendered fat, soft and tender. The spicing was superb and the salt was generous too. I don't normally eat with my hands, but I couldn't help it. Best lamb chops I've ever had. Mains was the Pawak, which is a version of a saag. Again, saag is one of my favourites but it's so often lacklustre. Charcoal's Pawak is sensational. Tender lamb in a rich fatty sauce. The spinach was so thoroughly cooked it was almost burnt - in a good way! Tasted caramelised and smokey. Topped with home-caramelised onions. The best saag I've ever had. I honestly feel like I've just stolen a meal. It was an incredible price, especially for a city centre, but the food truly exceeded any expectations I had. Please go, and keep them in business.
Went in Saturday. I have been previously. I had no booking. Got seated easily and must have timed it well as the restaurant filled up quick. Service was good, staff are on the ball and really nice and friendly. Cannot do enough for you. Now the food; we had the pre theatre so chicken pakora and chicken Korma for me, chicken pakora and South Indian garlic chicken for my boyfriend. Portions were good, too good I couldn’t finish mine. It is the best food you are getting in town in my opinion. I have recommended this place to a few and they have loved it and my vegetarian daughters love it as they will substitute anything to make it vegetarian. Paneer Korma was a good shout last time with my daughter. If you are down towards the Trongate/Merchant city then I would strongly encourage eating here. If you eat anywhere else it will be more expensive, third rate and will take you longer to find this little gem of a place. Vegetarian options: They can supplement the whole menu of curries to be vegetarian. Any sauce can be a Paneer curry I was told and my daughter has loved it and gets delivery as stays city centre.
Great food, but what really stood out was the service. The staff were really friendly and attentive without ever getting in the way, and they gave us a bunch of freebie side dishes. I don't think I've ever felt so full.Food: 5/5
