The Charcoal Grill in Lewisham

Came for a kebab based on reviews. Ordered and then they told me cash only (in 2024?). Sent me to the store next door for cash but it was closed so made the trek up to the corner. Came back and they’d not even started cooking. How not to run a business.

Very delicious, and service is outstanding

Excellent place! Great portions, lovely staff and proper good food which isn’t too oily or greasy! Highly recommended to all. Cash only so bare in mind!

I came here today for lunch and as usual this place always provides lovely chicken donner kebabs. I have been coming here for years and use to buy food for my family member each week and without fail the quality is the best around the area. Highly recommended Back today again and was even better than the last time - no complaints at all!

Best kebab in London staff are very friendly

The food is very good and the prices are very affordable, great kebabs are here

The man was very rude, felt as though he may dislike my ethnicity. Takes cash only but no sign saying so. Asked me to write down his bank details to transfer but the details didnt match. I was a little hesitant. He then snatched my phone when I said the details don't match and began select incorrect details. Let the shop feeling as though I was treated unfair because I did not want him to take my phone. He took back the food that I began to eat and told me "GO CASHPOINT THEY CHARGE". Horr8d place avoid avoid avoid.

Always good here kebabs and garlic sauce on point 👌

What a great restaurant in Rayleigh! Amazing food and such good portion sizes. Can’t wait to come back. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Wow the food was amazing and portion was big definitely going again

The large Donna kebab was really nice but the 25min wait wasn't not sure if I will go back or not because the wait time would put me of I would just have a regular Donna kebab if I went again as I found the large to much for me

I ordered a doner wrap and the guy didn't actually wrap the bread around the filings, just bundled it all up in paper and so it disintegrated as soon as I opened it. Don't order a wrap.

This is a takeaway only. I’ve used it since moving to the area in 2001. The staff are always friendly and I believe this is the best kebab shop for many miles. The chicken and lamb is marinated in yogurt & spices and always perfectly cooked and delicious. The salads are always fresh & crisp and very reasonably priced. They offer garlic or chilli sauce and always make my shish kebabs to order. I never order burgers or the other options but I believe they are also great as they are flying off the grill while my shish cooks. Thumbs up for the Charcoal Grill!

This is the best kebab shop going, it's absolutely legendary. I know about five people who say it's their favorite. I was in a fancy restaurant in Glasgow and we were all talking about how great Charcoal Grill is. They're open late, the portions are huge and it really tastes like smoke. Don't skip this one.

Delicious food, but a bit inconvenient that payments options are limited. No atmosphere but food is worth it 😋

Decent chicken shish kebab and a nice chap serving. I got a large portion (two chicken skewers) for £9.80 - each skewer has a generous amount of chicken so one probably enough. Cooked it fresh while I was there. Salad could be better. N.B. Cash-only

Great kebabs but beware, cash only. As I needed to get money out (£1.50 charge), a £7.50 kebab turned into £9 kebab.

Got to be one of the best kebab shops in SE London. Everything I had tasted great and I wasn’t even drunk!

Cash only, even after two years of Covid?!! Hopefully I can update my review once they catch up with the cashless world :(

Has to be the very best kebab shop in se London all cooked to perfection with a delicious chilli sauce

This place is ok, no problems with the food or service.

The best kebab place in South london

Prices have gone up but hasn't everywhere? Plenty of meat and salad in your kebab

This place should of been shut down long time a go thay do not put fresh kebabs in ever day which is bad the chip oils is dirty you will get a bad belly from this shop the kebabs can be sitting there for a week or more go to is shop at your own risk I would stay a way

One of the best Kebab places in SE been going here for years and love the food. I also love the fact that they have so many size options with the kebabs so you can choose the size you fancy for yourself or to share. Staff are friendly, funny and engaging. Going back next week.

This is our regular for large lamb Sheesh, large Chicken Sheesh and large chips to share. Lovely food, big portions and great value for money. Highly recommended

Good food for good price. Portions are huuge!. Nice staff

An excellent kebab place. I caught them at a good time, about 9pm on a Friday night when they were busy freshly slicing hot strips of lamb doner for lucky punters. I had a large one which was frankly hilariously big, it weighed probably as much as a small baby. It was delicious. Possibly slightly overpriced, as tasty as the doner was it was only medium (or just above) quality, compared to the Turkish places in North London which use high quality lamb doner. Ill definitely go back for more though.

Charcoal grill does great kebabs and chips nice staff good service

First time tonight getting food from here, needless to say I’ll definitely be back!

Excellent kebab shop. Always very good meat in all the kebabs and chilli sauce is very nice too.

the staff is very frendly and nice people.the food is good aswell

Always tasty. Been going here for 20+years and the owners are always friendly. Great portions and decently priced. A forest hill staple

Friendly customer service and very nice grilled food. Would recommend for a takeaway

I live in this place from December and every 2-3 weeks I order Very good food, very friendly guys,very nice service How long time I will be near of Charcoal Grill always I will by from here. Full recommended for all Kind regards Rodia Mihaela Bolea (HAGI)

Poor Customer service, the attitude of one of the staff who runs the shop is horrible. The food quality is average but the chips are great.

The food was delicious at a great price. £40 can cover a family of 6 easy. The chips were hot, crispy, and fantastic. Great customer service and fantastic food. Only one criticism is that I would like purple cabbage 💜 included in the salad. Apart from that tiny thing , the Charcoal grill is sublime.

The most amazing food, customer service and you get a lot for your money. It is a very busy place right now, but it is worth the wait.

The king of kebab shops. The chicken sheesh is excellent as is the salad and chips. Would have it every day if I could, but I’d be dead. (Seriously though, it’s delicious and the guys in there are nice)

Only get salad wrap and chips but very happy with the amount I get and it's always tasty. The staff always seem to be happy, and there's always a steady stream of people as I pass.

Food Is amazing, I've been going for over 10 years. Great price for the size and quality. Just don't get robbed outside their place as they won't call the police or help you in any way as I assumed they don't want to rock the boat. Besides that, they are great people. Will keep going there for kebabs every now and then.

Best Mixed Grill I've had. Great portions

So far have only bought chips and burgers from there, the burgers (quarter pounders) with a combination of lettuce, onions, chilli sauce, garlic sauce and burger sauce, probably the best burgers I have had from a kebab shop, never disappoint. The chips are cooked nicely and they give a good portion, very pleased, may Allah preserve them and grant their business success! Thanks guys

Don't let the exterior fool you - this is a solid kebab shop. Meat and chips was reasonably priced with fresh salad. Decent sized portion. Chips were cooked nicely and the meat was juicy and fresh, small but commonly overlooked details in your average kebab. Will return.

Best mixed kebabs in the area friendly staff

Best kebab shop in southeast London, I challenge anyone to better it!!

Competitive pricing, generous portions but overall a lack of care for health and safety. The food was awesome for the price. I couldn't have asked for larger portions. I enjoyed every bit of it... well, almost every bit of it. The food itself was amazing, but approximately 2/3rds of the way through my extra large donner kebab I found a short thick black hair in my food. If the staff would take a bit more care towards keeping their hair covered and wearing gloves whilst serving the food then it would no doubt be 5/5.. All they need to work on is their hygiene. If you don't mind the odd hair here and there, then this place gets a recommendation. If they sort out their qualms with delivering a clean and healthy experience to their customers then I look forward to returning as I cannot fault their food at all.

Great kebab my daughter loves it

Was better with previous owners

Best kebabs 5 star place to eat for a takeaway

Best kebab shop in lewisham FACTS! Large portions, fairly priced, good product, and the most perfectly cut lettuce and cabbage

Tasty shish. Shame not open late late

After reading the great reviews I thought I was in for something special! The kebab meat was chewy and grisly, not great, large portion for £7 a bit pricey but the salad was fresh. No card machine, pay by cash.

This place doesn't disappoint, good food and the quantity is generous and pricing is fair

The kebab quintet really are doing God's work here. The phattest wraps since B.I.G. No matter what you're pickin Kofte lamb or chicken Charcoal grills on a mad one Very good, young padawan

Good kebab Big portions Great staffff 5*****

Good Kebab with lots of fresh Salad. Great portion & good price..

Best kebab in town and fries are good too lovely and tasty chilli not hot at all

I love this shop the people are very friendly and they always cook the food the way I like it. It's the best shop I have been too.

Chill place to go with friends for a quick bite.

Huge portion! Recommend chicken shish

Very friendly staff and good food

Not bad as far as kebabs go. Don't let the sweaty men put you off, the food is actually quite decent (and the sweaty guys are actually quite pleasant). Salad's always fresh and fresh chilli sauce (not out of a plastic bottle).

The best kebab shop for miles. Their large kebabs serve two, just order extra pitta bread. I recommend the chicken shish and lamb shish, their chips are delicious and the salad is lovely. They are always busy but the service is friendly, never rushed.

It’s ok. Decent food and friendly service.

Fantastic chicken shish! Fair price as well

Il miglior kebab di Londra!Il titolare simpaticissimo!E talmente grande che non riesci a mangiarlo!Buono consigliatissimo

Best kebab place for miles around, nice staff, good quality meat and salads. Ask for the shish kebab in a wrap, quality!!!

Best kebab shop in the area without a doubt and I really mean it. Kebabs are made by themselves and don’t come ready made including there chilly sauce which is why it tastes delicious. And can’t forget to mention there portion size it’s huge a Small is like a Large and will most definitely fill you up.

Best lamb shish, lamb is cooked perfectly and the cuts they use are tender, salad is decent, staff are good people who are able to have a laugh,

Been going there for 15 years. Fresh salad, nice chip and great kebabs. Best in town!

Very tasty kebab shop that is reasonably priced.

Great delicious food tiny bit pricy but do able worth going ( halal aswell )

Tasty food and large portions! Very friendly staff and service!

Had great lamb shish in Herr, very friendly bunch, well worth skipping cooking for an evening!

Best kebab, polite service, have used this establishment for years. Have tried other kebab shops in area and none come near for price, and taste.

Extremely tasty food couldn't recommend enough.

Best kebab nice staff great quality and great price this is by far the best kebab shop in London if not the world defo the best I have tasted and I have tasted lots of kebab

Probably my favourite kebab takeaway ever. Fun and friendly staff, great service, fair prices, and the best chicken shish!!

Very juicy meat in the chicken shish, and the chicken doner hasn't got any unwanted skin/pieces. The salads are very fresh. Very friendly service.

He estado yendo aquí ya que como un niño y aunque la gestión ha cambiado a lo largo del tiempo, la calidad no tiene. Sigue siendo un lugar muy agradable con precios decentes. Pero sin duda uno de los mejores lugares de kebabs en el REINO UNIDO. Si quieres extras te la dan. Grandes porciones.

Tienden a comer un montón de pinchos alrededor de Londres. Este lugar tiene algunos increíbles kebabs. Buen sabor y buen gusto. Sus alas son para morirse, así que probamos así

Best kebab you will ever have big potions good price go there every week

Fantastic, great sizes for the money.

Best kebab for miles. Big portions and good prices. Amazing quality.

We are locals and have used Charcoal Grill for a few years. Positives: Great prices - eg small burger and chips £3.50 Large portion size (a large kebab/chips is enough for 2 people!) Delicious food very quickly made Friendly Cooks who always remember my order Negatives: No home delivery Thank you Charcoal Grill! From a very happy customer :)

Go there so often that they know my order :) The best quality kebab i have tasted.
