Ordered food last night. Chips were half full freezing cold and tasted like burnt grill. The chicken was disgusting worst food I've ever ordered in my life. Even the sauces were flavourless and water. Worst kebab place in luton! Avoid!

I have been a loyal patron of Charcoal House for several years, but my recent dining experience has left me disheartened. The food quality has taken a noticeable nosedive, deviating significantly from the exceptional standards I once cherished. The dishes, which used to be a symphony of flavors, now lack the depth and richness that initially drew me to this establishment. It's evident that there has been a decline in both the preparation and the quality of ingredients. Regrettably, I've decided that this will be my last visit to Charcoal House. The charm that kept me returning has been overshadowed by a noticeable degradation in the culinary experience. I hope the restaurant can rediscover the excellence it once boasted, but until then, I won't be returning.

My chicken burger tasted awful- bun was soggy underneath, standard salad chucked in and is not described as the menu indicates e.g, missing tomato, pickles, mayo, mustard and ketchup. I asked for no onion and they added onion with red cabbage which is not on the description either. Overall burger was cold and arrived an hour and a half late! Would not recommend and certainly not worth the price!

Horrible. Ordered a simple lamb shish at 12:20 . At 1 am I finally received my order, it was wrong. Was given chicken instead. Dude got it all wrong. I wanted lamb and bread. I got chicken with some foul smelling onions. I have had diarrhea since 2 am now, just an hour after eating. Believe the negative reviews, this place should be inspected by the health inspector.

Where to start… this place used to be amazing from food, customer service the works. But recently they have gone downhill, from hygiene, food quality and especially customer service. This is based on the last two times going back to this restaurant. Let me explain Two weeks ago I visited for an eat in experience with a friend we did arrive 30 mins before closing time. We was told a lot of the meat has sold out and what is left in on show is remaining I asked twice just to make sure with regards to chicken shish, he mentioned it’s sold out and they none left. We placed the order and waited our food, after 15 mins the worker came out with extra meat. When I asked him what is this you mentioned it’s sold out he said this for me and not for you. I was shocked on his statement. Today which will be the last day I set foot in this place I ordered via the phone and arrived at 20 mins as per the worker’s instructions. I arrived and was greeted by the previous worker who had a miserable face and felt very uncomfortable . I asked for the order he said we don’t know what you are talking about. He then came to mention the previous time and said he’s not joking I am coming just to complain. Please can you explain this to me if anyone comes to order food as the food is not ready what does he expect at cost. Unless they change this. Avoid this place they need to learn manners and respect. Management take this serious employe people who want to work not to look like they are forced to work.

Food is always great, good portions at good prices so I cannot fault that. The massive let down in this place is the service. Just to get acknowledged by any staff in there you have to wait at-least 5-10 minutes, even when it’s quiet & I mean that literally. They can literally look towards your direction and won’t pay you any attention. You actually end up spending more time waiting for someone to take your order or waiting to pay than actually eating your food.

Mains: You can’t take a trip to Luton and not try out the shawarma at charcoal house. The chicken shawarma there is so juicy and has just the right seasoning. The portion is BIG so it’s very filling and it can get very messy... well, that’s only if you’re a messy eater like me! . Overall, the food was decent. For just £8, the portion size was so considerate! They also didn’t skimp out when it came to wrapping the food and ensuring that we’re eating in our own comfort!

Yesterday (26/04/2022) night I went to charcoal house with my friend to have dinner. I was a regular customer in Charcoal House and their customer service was good but yesterday one staff named Yasin (name won’t be proper he was wearing black collarless T-shirt) behaviour was very rude and unethical to me and other customers and he was on video call with some one while he is working in the food preparation area which is not hygienic. All other staff members behaviour was good. I have been visited this place several times and my experiences was good. But that employee spoiled all the brand value that I build in my mind for the restaurant. The food was amazing Small feedback for the employer: You need to give that man proper training regarding the hygiene, respectful towards customers and teach him some manners.

I got a chicken shawarma meal from here and dined in. The shop itself is quite small and compact; there's not much seating space. I saw a staircase going downstairs and some customers were going down, only to come back up again within seconds, so I'm not sure what that was about. Perhaps there could have been toilets there, but I'm not too sure. The staff were yelling across the store to each other, so the atmosphere was not calm or relaxing. The food arrived quickly. The chips were a tad too salty for me and the sauce that was in the wrap was extremely watery. The bread became very soggy and it was hard to eat as it broke. I don't think I'll be visiting again any time soon.
