We chanced upon this restaurant and ventured in. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We had some popadoms to begin and these were brought with some tasty dips. The waiter then brought out some vegetable pakoras ‘on the house’ these were delicious and served with another tasty dip. All washed down with a large, cold Cobra. The mains arrived. We ate a chicken and chick pea dish as well as a spinach and lentil dish (sorry, I can’t remember the names of them) pilau rice, peshwari Nan and 2 chapati. All was delicious and plentiful. Too much for two adults. The waiter then brought out some complimentary Nan bread that was also delicious. The bill just exceeded £50 including service. Thank you very much indeed for a lovely dinner.

Family night out for son’s birthday (his choice). Fantastic food and great staff make this place a must visit. On this visit tried new dishes, my goodness they were fantastic. Ali made sure it was a special night for my boy with a slice of tiramisu , birthday candle and singing waiters. A great meal and night out. Can’t wait for a return visit

What a great night! We had been to the last location a couple of times (but not for a good while as we only visit when we stay in Glasgow and for various reasons we hadn’t been back)and really loved the food and service so when we were visiting Glasgow we wanted to go again and it didn’t disappoint! Food was really lovely. The portions were a decent size, we definitely left with full happy belly’s! but without compromising on quality. Food was well spiced and balanced without blowing your head off but hot enough that it wasn’t bland either. as a meat eater and a vegetarian we both found plenty of options for us both I particularly like both my starter Chana chat and my main dal makni. My partner had the lamb chops to start and he said they were so tender melt in the mouth he also had charcoals goldie iv just asked him as I’m writing this and he has animatedly replied very nice, very nice indeed! all the staff including the owner were great. They were quick and polite and attentive without being too intrusive. It was busy and they were the same with all the other tables too. It’s not something all restaurants get right so I noticed how good the service was despite it being busy. We had a couple of complimentary items given to us which was a lovely little unexpected but appreciated extra. one of them was a massala popadom with a really delicious salad although I’m not sure what it’s name was. Wish I did as I’d definitely order it next time! It’s a shame we live so far away as if this restaurant was closer I’m positive we would become regulars! We will definitely be back though next time we visit Glasgow.

I am so glad I was told about this restaurant. Not only is the food and service excellent, Muhammad Sultan is also proactive in helping the community. All customers are warmly greeted and made to feel at home. The menu choices are plentiful and portions are generous. I make a point of always visiting Charcoals when I am in Glasgow.

I've eaten at Charcoals several times now, and recommended them to others on the basis that you can rely on them having really good food, and good value for money, and that you will leave feeling well fed. The lunch and pre-theatre set menus are both particularly good value, and I recommend trying them if you can get there within the set times. It was knowing this that made me choose Charcoals to take my dad out for dinner on his birthday, and they didn't disappoint. Service was great - we even got some complementary nibbles along with our starter - and we both really enjoyed the meal, as expected. My dad said that he'd likely come back another time, as will I, again.

Food good but delivery time terrible. The times stated on just eat are clearly very wrong so don’t base your choice of restaurant on this! Which I did.

Como siempre, Muhammad Sultan fue el anfitrión perfecto y se aseguró de que nos cuidaran. Incluso recibimos obsequios especiales gratis de pakora de pollo extra, un plato de daal encantador y panes extra. ¡Bien ordenado! El restaurante es consciente de Covid y actualmente sirve comida y bebida con platos desechables, etc., lo cual creo que es una gran idea. Además, no le quita los increíbles sabores y la experiencia culinaria. ¡Gracias de nuevo Muhammad y el equipo!

They delete my honest review, so I will write it again. The place share a tricky offer on a social media for a discount that is not available actually. They lied the indoor space can't be used. They give you a plastic cutleryes instead of proper one. When i asked for the bill I did not receive a receipt- just the waiter (and manager) told me the amount. Shady place, should be avoided.

Habiendo usado este lugar con mucha frecuencia para almorzar antes de los partidos de fútbol, muy decepcionado con nuestra primera visita de cierre. El menú del almuerzo se anuncia en línea y en el menú exterior, pero nos dijeron que no estaba disponible, lo que significa que la factura era más del doble de lo que pensamos que sería. Cuando se le pidió una mesa en el interior, se le dijo que no, ya que estaban "tomando fotos". La comida se servía con platos y cubiertos de plástico y la comida en general no estaba en su nivel habitual. No me malinterpreten, el servidor seguía siendo tan amigable como siempre, pero la experiencia general no se parecía en nada a lo que solía ser. Muy decepcionante. 50 por un almuerzo para 2 con bebidas servidas al aire libre con plásticos que no valoraría por el dinero.

Having read the positive reviews I was very much looking forward to visiting Charcoals Cafe with my family. I was not disappointed; it was perfect for our celebration!Attentive staff, although seemed a little disorganised in terms of who was serving us. We booked on 5pm and one server told us we were to choose from the pre-theatre menu but the next server said we could choose from the a la carte (with some exceptions). Wasn't fussed either way but would be nice if everyone was on the same page to avoid confusion.Other than that, food was very nice, poppadoms were tasty and crisp, and what great value for money!Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome, and we all had a great feed. Will definitely return.

This was a late lunch/early dinner birthday meal for 5. The restaurant was quite so we got good service. It definitely has a cafe feel about with very plain furnishings. The food was good sound Glasgow curry shop favourites, well presented and plenty of.<br />The only down side was the swinging front door. On a very windy day it kept swinging open and the restaurant was very cold at times.

Visited Charcoals Cafe last night for dinner and had some excellent food. I had the baked poppadoms with selection of dip. These have to be my favourite poppadoms i've ever had, so tasty with a bit of a kick. Chicken pakora to start which was so fresh and tasty and a medium heat chicken tikka masala, which was also extremely tasty and the perfect heat for me. We also had an accompaniment of garlic bread which was cooked to perfection. This restaurant is like a little hidden gem. It's light, bright and the staff are so helpful and pleasant. Unfortunately because of the location they don't seem to be as busy as the other Charcoals but I prefer it and it even has an outdoor seating area to enjoy the sunshine. I've been so many times before and will continue to go back.

Decepcionado con mi visita a este restaurante. Comenzó con el grosero camarero poniendo los menús al revés con una actitud de "no me importa". Mi pareja y yo queríamos compartir el almuerzo, así que pedimos algo del tablero especial del almuerzo, ya que queríamos algo pequeño. Cuando el mesero dejó nuestros cubiertos, simplemente los colocó en el medio de la mesa y tampoco le dio ninguno a mi compañero. Cuando entregó nuestra comida, pedí cortésmente otro juego de cubiertos y un plato, ya que había mucha comida y queríamos compartir. El camarero solo regresó con un tenedor y cuando le recordé el plato se puso muy grosero, puso los ojos en blanco y luego me dijo que generalmente no comparten los especiales de almuerzo. El servicio en este lugar fue atroz y por eso no pude disfrutar de mi comida en absoluto. El camarero debería haber sido acogedor ya que éramos uno de los pocos restaurantes y gastar nuestro dinero allí. Muy pobre. Posiblemente peor servicio y hospitalidad jamás experimentados. No volveremos 0/100

We have been in the well known glasgow Indian restraunts & this place is on a par with them , Tikka starter was a wee bit burnt with the charcoal on the outside the way it should be done IMO but on the inside it was lovely & real chicken not the processed stuff you sometimes get .. the same with the main , tika massala & south indian garlic chilli which was hot & just right. the price is reasonable so give it a try.

Poppadoms and dips, very spicy onions, chicken pakora and aloo chana. Tasty. Jaipuri and chicken biryani. A massive amount of food although extremely tasty. Nan bread and peshwari nan as sundries. Absolutely stuffed. What let's this restaurant down is its awful toilet facilities. So try the Aloo but avoid the loo.

Excellent curry. We got a deal on 5pm so it was great value for a Friday night. I was surprised how quiet it was. Only one other table so no atmosphere. I had chicken chaat and lamb kharahi and bth were Excellent. Great value traditional curry. I hope more people go.

Called in for Saturday lunch recently on the way to the football. Ordered Veg Pakora and Lamb Rogan Josh off the lunch menu - which came to £7.95. Lamb and vegetables were very fresh, although I did the feel the sauce was a little bland. I also had a 660ml bottle of Kingfisher which was well priced at £5. Service was efficient and product represents good value for what it is. There are better curry houses in Glasgow but you certainly get what you pay for here.

Staff are nice and food is very very fresh. Poppadums were fantastic as done on chargrills. Would certainly recommend if wanting fresh Indian food.

Visited here last night (a Saturday) with friends. They had been before but myself and my husband hadn't. They said it was fabulous - and how right they were! Started with popadoms with garnishes - have to say that these are the best popadoms we have ever eaten - fresh and crisp and delicious! You have to try them..... then had 2 staters between us - chicken Chaat and Chicken pakora - both wonderful. Bit of a kick but not too much.... the (very pleasant and efficient) waiter also brought a 'freebie' - chicken wings, which were scrummy. I had Lamb Malaidar for main course - cooked with fresh spinach, lots of garlic and cream. Can't begin to tell you how delicious it was - simply divine. Not too garlicy and quite rich. Spicy without blowing your head off - so you can still taste the meat. It was so good... friends and husband had bhoona dishes and the Mattar paneer, all of which were declared as wonderful. 2 naan breads and a rice were our accompaniments, 2 of us had a glass of wine and the others had soft drinks. We simply couldn't manage a dessert or coffee - were so full. Came in at less than £20 a head - amazing value for such fabulous food. Only negative was that it was such a cold night and every time the door opened, you got a blast of cold air. Ideally should have some sort of vestibule to avoid the diners getting so cold. But everything else so brilliant - can forgive them this! Will definitely be back - can't recommend highly enough.

Reservamos la oferta de 5 pm para 2 cursos 12. Llegamos y el personal nos recibió de una manera amistosa y el servicio fue eficiente durante todo nuestro tiempo allí. La comida era sabrosa, a todos nos encantó nuestro curry. Comimos mantequilla de pollo, pollo chasni, cordero biryani y Channa masala. El único aspecto negativo fue que parecía que el personal se movía alrededor de nosotros y nos observaba mientras estábamos comiendo como si estuviéramos esperando que termináramos. El restaurante estaba tranquilo, así que no estoy seguro de si querían un final temprano, pero nos hizo sentir muy incómodos y nos fuimos rápidamente. Esto fue una pena, ya que he visitado este restaurante antes y nunca me di cuenta de esto! Esperemos que uno fuera.

Another fantastic meal courtesy of Charoals, Ashish, Ali and the team. This is our favourite Indian restaurant in Glasgow. The food is always excellent, the service exceptional and we are always made to feel welcome. A consistently wonderful place to eat.

We have been to charcoals several times now and it’s been consistently delicious! The staff are friendly and the food is amazing. The lunch special is a fantastic deal, we could probably do with just one meal between the two of us... but it’s too difficult to pick just one dish. If you like spicy curries, just ask them to make whatever you are ordering spicier and they will happily accommodate you.

We went on a Saturday afternoon and received a very warm welcome upon arrival. The service was superb with the staff being very attentive but not so that they were constantly in your face. We ordered
