Village Charcoal Grill in Sutton

The best take away for kebabs anywhere as simple as that , nice food , friendly staff and plenty of it ! Tried them all nowhere as good

We have been here several times over the years and the food is always fabulous, we are always welcomed and treated very personally

Lunch with a friend - excellent food and service. Everything is good but especially chicken and lamb dishes

Lovely meal with the kids. Food was fresh and hot and very tasty. Service was great and nothing was too much trouble. All with a smile. Will definitely be beach!

This restaurant is a truly exceptional family run restaurant. Went early on a Monday evening and there were enough diners to create a good atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and got the balance right between chatting to you and allowing you time to enjoy the food. Helpful suggestions on food and also offered free of charge some items for tasting. The food quality was also brilliant. I eat in restaurants fairly often and this was the most enjoyable experience that I have had in a very long time.

Went for sons birthday restaurant was full but the service and food was still fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough everyone so nice here they go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect for you. Food was amazing cooked to perfection can’t wait to return. 10/10

Honestly the food looks delicious and it doesn’t disappoint. The nicest bunch of people serving the nicest tasting food, what more could you ask for

Come to this restaurant today, me and my wife and it was absolutely lovely. The staff were good and polite. George and Bas was outstanding service George very kind and very helpful and can I say BAS your one in a million thank you for welcoming us to this lovely clean restaurant the older man was amazing to but the food is absolutely amazing very tasty and very good. The donna kebab was outstanding beautiful I recommend this place to anybody

Finally went here tonight and was impressed, the waiter was very welcoming and very pleasant, the food was spot on, all of us were very happy

Great atmosphere, hospitable service and will definitely come back. Thank you! The food also of always served in a professional and pleasant manner, great taste and good selection from the menu.

The team at charcoal grill especially Mes were really helpful in catering to my allergies! The food was great and I’ll definitely be returning soon

We have visited the Village Charcoal Grill this afternoon. The food was delicious- we had babaganoush and stuffed vine leaves for starters, I had the vegetarian moussaka (absolutely delightful), and my partner and son shared a plate of mixed kebab meats- they loved it. My apple punch was lovely. The best part of out visit was the service though- our waiter Ugur was professional, polite and extremely kind. Thank you very much, we will be back! :)

My friends and I have not visited in a while. We were not disappointed. The food was as delicious as ever. Portions are generous too.

Have just visited this restaurant for the first time. The first thing we noticed was a quote on the door from TripAdvisor saying the restaurant was great for vegetarians...and it was! We had such a great meal. I'm veggie but my partner is not. The staff were really helpful in adapting the menu and making sure we could both go "off menu' to get what we wanted. Food was fabulous, service was excellent and we certainly will come back soon

Best lamb chops ive had in a long time and generous portions of dishes, loads left to take home. Fantastic service, waitress was funny and helpful and kept coming by the table for more water. Kebab was delicious as well, best Turkish I believe in the area.

On a hot day we retreated into the cool of this restaurant for lunch. The aircon was wonderful and the food was really great - I had fresh falafels with a salad, humous and warm pitta bread. Others had chicken or lamb kebabs. All of us loved our food. Shame it is so far from Putney where I live! Give it a go you won't regret it.

The bread & cucumber dip entree is absolutely Devine, the steaks are always cooked to perfection, staff always very friendly and helpful, can’t wait to get back into eat.

We've talked about moving .... perhaps to the coast or even Spain. But it would be too much of a wrench to not be able to drop in on this place. Great service and the best chicken kebabbles this side of the Thames.

We have been ordering from Village Charcoal Grill every Friday and the young man serving has an incredible memory always knows our order (even salad and sauces) despite the busy atmosphere. Food is always cooked to perfection and service is great. Keep up the good work!

The Takeaway arrived an hour late. It was Cold. It was Burnt. The rice was missing from the order. There was a piece of plastic bag in the kebab. There was only 3 tiny pieces of chicken, which were dry and tough. The salad was inedible as it was made up of majority raw onion. I was severely disappointed with this takeaway, it was over priced and awful quality and we will not be ordering again. I would definitely not recommend.

Lovely place, decor is plain. Food is tasty and satisfying. Service was attentive. Have been many times, and would go again

This has been the only place we got take out from during lockdown. It’s a family run business for over 25 years and they have implemented safe measures for both customers and staff. We used to visit the restaurant before lockdown but take away is just as amazing! They always cook the meal to order and it’s very fresh and tasty. By far the best in Cheam! I would recommend visitors to call to place an order to avoid waiting outside for long as it can get very busy.

When we lived in England we just happened to look round Cheam Village and luckily found this restaurant. The food was absolutely superb and the people there were so friendly. It remained our favourite restaurant in England and it will be our first port of call when we go back,

Delicious food friendly staff. Whether you want a take away or a lovely sit down meal this is the place to go.

Such a wonderful place to go , Wonderful traditional well cooked food, The staff are so friendly and respectful , Thankyou to everyone involved for a lovely meal !!!

We have visited this restaurant many times over the past few years. It is always excellent - great food, great service and good value. The homemade Humus is fantastic. Highly recommend for a casual meal, couples or larger parties.

We have been visiting this family run restaurant for years and it never disappoints. The portion sizes are just right and food always tastes great. The staff were extremely inviting when we visited recently. A definite must if in the area.

7 Friends & I visited this shop on a busy Thursday evening and WOW!! I have to say I was extremely impressed, it's a family run business and the boss himself came up to us and had a chat, the food was amazing especially the chef's dishes, would highly recommend to everyone!

The staff were amazing and so professional. The food was lovely and service was really good. I had salmon deserved on a plate in the shape of a fish. All the food was timely served in a friendly manner and everyone said how nice their food was. Would definitely recommend to everyone. Lovely restaurant in Cheam Village.

This is an excellent restuarant to go with your family. The staff are welcoming, there is huge variety on the menu, the food is delicous and the atmosphere is very nice. Would definitely reccomend. Take away service is also phenomenal.

First visit for myself but recommended by my brother who had used this restaurant many times before. Excellent service, food and staff. Great food well presented.

A fantastic experience at village charcoal grill, my first time there and seems like many more to come, very friendly and attentive staff with a smile, accompanied by astonishing starters and mains, I had the lamb chops which where cooked to perfection tender and succulent meat. The others in the party said there mains especially the chicken shish was fabulous and tasted great. To finish we received complementary baklava on the house with traditional Turkish tea which made us leave the premises with a happy stomach

We managed to book a last minute table on a Saturday night. The restaurant was very busy with many family parties eating. Our order was taken quickly with complimentary bread and chilli dip given.

My family and I have been customers since 2011 and my sister and her family are also huge, huge fans.

My friend and I thought we'd try here for a change.

Visited this place on Tuesday with a group of mates. It was surprisingly busy considering it was a school night but the restaurant had a very pleasant atmosphere. The food and service was second to none. We will be back

Well-established local favourite with a wide range of Middle Eastern dishes. Good value for money, well-cooked food and efficient service.

Excellent family run restaurant with lovely sharing starters and incredible main course selection, They serve the best Doner Kebab i have ever tried, portions are huge , was a challenge to finish but it’s so good you have to give it a try

The Village Grill is an excellent place to eat and to be honest, not enough people go there as it is a bit of a walk from the car park. The food is excellent and well worth going. The staff and service is very good.

Below average.I have received cold mousaka which was definately prepared cooked at least 24h-48h ago. I will definately not come back

My family eat here quite often and never had a bad meal. Kul Basti and mixed grill are favourites. Food is very tasty and freshly cooked. Takeaway is always busy too and cooked to order - highly recommended. Staff are very friendly and service is great.

This restaurant is fabulous! Good, freshly cooked Turkish food - huge portions and reasonable prices. The staff are lovely and welcoming, and you even get a complimentary liqueur at the end of the meal. We will definitely be back soon!

First visit here for us and we were welcomed...without a booking and a full house...but they found us a table. Very tasty food. My husband had steak which was good value and cooked well. The staff are excellent and really make this restaurant great!

Have been eating here for many years. Always good food with friendly efficient service. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Wow, what an amazing afternoon and welcome from Tim Bas owner of Village Charcoal Grill celebrating my birthday with my large family and grandchildren. We had a brilliant afternoon and Tim made us all feel very special helping us all to feel privileged guests.

I have been visiting Charcoal Grill since they opened back in the 1995. The standard of the food and service is always great! The owner and his staff are very friendly. Well worth a visit.

This was the first time I visited this lovely family run Turkish restaurant. We had our work Christmas party here on a busy Friday evening. The restaurant was full and service was superb with the boss greeting everyone personally when they enter and leave. The Maze and Lamb Chops are a MUST, the best Chops I’ve had in Surrey. I will be returning.

Very busy and popular but overpriced and slow service. My stuffed aubergine starter was nothing like the Imam Bayaldi I get in Turkey, no minced lamb or cheese, just peas and sweetcorn..I complained but no offer of refund. My husbands halloumi was OK though.Kebabs standard but very overpriced, nothing special.

We have visited a few times at lunch time when it is very quiet. We were very impressed and said when our friends came over from Australia we would take them there in the evening.

Absolutely love this place. Staff are amazing and so is the food. This has become our new favourite place and we have to travel around 6 miles to get here.

I am a regular customer there. Service is second to none, the staff is always very friendly. The food is not fine dining but is of very good quality. Highly recommended!

Lovely cafe food here is great and they are open till late the salads are superb keep going for it your going in the right direction just need to tell more people that your open late well done

Amazing food, perfectly cooked, staff are amazing and always remember you. We order a lot from here and go to collect as they don’t deliver but it is so worth it! Food is fresh and cooked to perfection, you must try!!!b

As a long term family customer of Village Charcoal Grill I was extremely disappointed to buy (and pay £8.30 for) a take away shish kebab (cubes of lamb) with a bit of donner meat, but find when I get home to be served a donner kebab with three pieces of shish kebab meat on it. My family and I have been good customers for many years and frankly I find being ripped off like this really hurtful!!! Yes all businesses have their profit making strategies, but this is not conducive to being a positive part of the local community in Cheam.

We have lived in Cheam for 15yrs and have always bought from here. We use the takeaway more than the restaurant.

Have eaten in most restaurants in Cheam, but this was a 'first' for this one.

We used to live in Cheam and loved coming to this place for the mixed grill. When we were back for a visit we went and it’s still fantastic, smiling great staff, freshly cooked tasty food !! This place takes service seriously and wants their customers to enjoy the food. Shame we can’t visit more often.

Very warm welcome. Food is consistently excellent. All the food is home cooked ( other than the fries) and lovely and fresh! The staff are very friendly and helpful. We (as a family) eat here often and never have we had a disappointing meal. The Kul Basti is one of my favourite, always cooked to perfection. The only thing I would like to see on the menu is some fresh fruit, but that is a personal choice.

Despite living quite near Cheam I had not visited this restaurant before so decided to try as I really do like a kebab. The restaurant was quiet but this was probably because it was outside the normal lunch times when I visited. However I was served by a very pleasant waitress and ordered the tarmasalata for a starter followed by the special lamb shish kebab - nicely cubed lamb, beautifully grilled and served with rice and salad - excellent. Definitely a return visit in the near future!!

This is a gem of a restaurant. The staff really care, are warm, friendly and can’t do enough. I’ve eaten at a lot of Turkish restaurants but this is something else. Just fantastic.

Had the pleasure of eating here on fathers day with my two daughters one grandson and my wife.

Nice restaurant with excellent food. Been coming here years and never had a bad meal. Staff are always friendly and serve you well. Although they do blatantly look for tips at times!

I came here for Mother's Day with a party of 8 people, even though the place was very busy, everyone was very attentive and the meals were served promptly. We had a great time and I would definitely come again!! Make sure to order your halal steak beforehand.

Fourth visit to this family run restaurant. Excellent food ,freshly cooked with plenty of fresh salad etc. Superbly cooked lamb shish cooked to perfection. Ambience is great . Had a lovely evening.

I had visited the restaurant on a first date so it was important to impress the young lady with a positive restaurant experience. It helped that my date could speak Turkish but I think you can get by speaking the local Sutton language!

I have been eating in this family run friendly restaurant for many years and I can't recommend it enough. The food is delicious and excellent quality meat. I must try

This was our first visit. Lovely family authentic Turkish restaurant. The lamb fillet steak was the best I’ve ever had. Seriously. And the rice pudding dessert was very special. I would happily take our visitors here for a delicious dinner and bottle of Turkish wine.

first time at this restaurant, lovely food , great service very reasonable , we took out little niece in with us they were very good with her , all in all good experience.

I get food from here every now and then, food is always good never had to complain and the staff are very friendly.

Good food, excellent service and a warm welcome by the proprietor. The mixed kebab was yummy and I appreciated the large mixed side salad.

We shared some bread for starters and I had the lamb shish for main, food was really tasty, very flavoured and cooked to perfection. Service was great, very attentive and the old chap who I believe owns it, hes a character! very welcoming. Would definitely...

we came here for the first time for my mums birthday meal after it had been recommended to us by...

We visited this amazing restaurant last night.. the food was really good and staff is very attentive. We are regular customer. Always is a good experience. The best!

I had the pleasure to dine in this restaurant with a group of friends on Wednesday evening. The restaurant was very busy, especially considering it was a weekday. The lamb shank (Kleftiko) was the tastiest I've had in many years. The restaurant is very clean and the atmosphere is fantastic. A must visit if you want quality Turkish/Mediterranean food and service.

Visited on a Friday night, busy but service was good, food ok,had pint of larger at 3.95 then asked for another half charged 3.55 !!!

The service was very slow, one of our dishes - the chicken kebab was dry as well as the rice as if both had been overcooked and the garlic mayo did not appear to have been near any garlic Not the best atmosphere- best bit was the free Turkish delight accompanying the bill.

I have been coming here since it opened. I have never had a bad meal and the staff and owner are wonderful people. Everyone I bring to eat here, also loves it. My fiancé and I try and come as often as we can. Great food at a great price.

Went here as a random meal over bank holiday as had been before and always said we'd come again. Staff are attentive, food is lovely, and it's a nice clean restaurant with big portions. I don't often leave my dinner, but did this time!

Always on the look out for a decent Turkish restaurant. Tend to judge them on whether or not Iskender is on the menu. We pre-booked and when we arrived it was full already. Our table was right in front of the door to the toilets which was rather annoying but to be honest it looked like they were trying to fit in as many tables as possible. Waiter who served us was attentive and helpful in answering the questions we had regarding the menu. We ordered a bottle of shiraz, garlic mushrooms and halloumi. These came up with some bread. All very tasty. Lots of starter options to choose from both cold and hot. We then both had the iskender one chicken the other lamb. We ordered chips and rice on the side. I have to say it was the best iskender I have had. Not too rich and the chilli sauce we asked for was also tasty. Even with the extra sides it was enough. I managed to get through some baklava for dessert which was also yummy. Upon paying the bill we were offered a free liquor which was a nice end to a fab meal. Great place to eat. We will be back.

Had a lovely meal, good choice, well cooked, if anything maybe a little slow. Thoroughly enjoyed tho.

Wonderful food. Excellent, friendly staff. Every time we visit, we get the same consistently high standard.

This family run business has been my favourite Mediterranean restaurant for a while,never falls me with the excellent choice,service and quality of the food.Always a pleasure to eat never rushed,relaxing atmosphere and always feel welcomed.

Always the best meal take away or sitting in the restaurant!!! would highly recommend you try this place and you will instantly fall in love!!

The place offer great turkish food. It has friendly staff and they provide high quality food. You can get takeaway or yiu xan eat in.

My parents have always enjoyed going here and often would take us along when we visited. Very recently we sadly lost dad and thought that a lovely tribute would be to have the funeral wake buffet at The Village Charcoal Grill.The staff were very accommodating and so helpful when we said what our thoughts were. Everyone enjoyed the informal and friendly venue. The food was lovely as usual for the buffet which was a selection of hot dishes with salad. They made everyone feel welcome and we can only say a huge thank you to all the staff for their hard work in enabling us to have the wake there.

After a beer or three @ The Railway Public House we headed out to the Village Charcoal Grill for what turned out to be a kebab & meat fest!!! Gigantic portion for the mixed grill washed down with very palatable Turkish Wine!!! Survive was extremely attentive & courteous! Would definitely recommend a visit if Turkish & Middle Eastern Cuisine is you bag!!

Dreadful, rubbery chicken, rubbery lamb and stale bread, left it out for the foxes and it was still there in the morning !!!!!

We've been using this family run Turkish restaurant for years and never had a disappointing meal. The menu has something for everyone and the food is always cooked well and nicely presented. The staff are lovely and keen to please. All in all a pleasant experience to be enjoyed over and over.

when asked if you want all salad with your kebab you get home and find all kebabs have one tablespoonful of shredded cabbage and two quarters of a tomato and that's it. the kebab portions are ridiculous for the price. all other kebab shops in the area give you a very generous portion plus 'all' salad which consists of lettuce, cabbage,cucumber, tomatoes and chilli peppers. the prices for such measly portions are extortionate in my opinion and that's no exaggeration. the chap who takes the orders then asks if you wish to donate for xmas. go to Istanbul grill or kebab planet in Sutton. there you pay much less and get so much you cant eat it all the same evening and save the rest for the next day.

Super place for kebabs, best I have ever had!superb service, staff cannot do enough for you, always friendly, cheap prices.

Very friendly , had a lovely mixed Kabab from herea couple of weeks ago , very fast lovely and fresh would defiantly recommend them

Had a meal here on Friday with my mum. Service excellent. Varied menu and food arrived quick and plenty of it. The staff here are really friendly and the manager went around every table asking if all was ok. Highly recommended.

Wow what can I say ! Order from here every two weeks as it's the fastest and best kebab place around ! Prices are so cheap and the food is a high standard! I cannot believe it ! I'm so glad I found this place ! Highly recommend!

Really good food as always, very very good service amazingly friendly and cheerful always has a high food hygiene rating takeaway service fantastic as is the restaurant.

Love this place. Cannot find another kebab house that compares with them. No.1 and Timo, you are stars.

I had an enjoyable evening here with my husband in July. We had good food and great service. It doesn't look like much from the outside but it's really nice on the inside. The locals seem to know about it and it was busy inside.

We've been here a few times this summer and the food hasn't disappointed. Family favourites are the Izmir Kofte, Chicken Iskender and the Chicken Mousaka. The Efes beer has a good clean finish and goes well with most dishes, as does the Ayran yoghurt-based drink. Portion sizes are generous without making you feel that you're going to end up paying for food you can't eat. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Gets busy in the evenings so I recommend booking a table first. If you can see your way past the chez 70s-style frontage and somewhat dated interior, the dishes are highly unlikely to disappoint. Prices are reasonable given its location; on our last visit 4 mains and drinks came to £50-ish and we all felt this was good value.

My friends and I tried this restaurant for dinner. It was such a surprise! Food was lovely and staff very attentive. We shared hummus, baba ghanoush and stuffed vine leaves as starters, then had chicken and lamb for mains (I had the Chicken Begendi and the joghurt sauce was so so tasty!). All in all, around £60 for the three of us, drinks included. Really good value for money!

The restaurant is spotlessly clean and the food is gorgeous very well presented and well cooked.The staff are very attentive and friendly.

My friend and I decided to try this restaurant after passing it a few times. The food was cooked well and the service very good and pleasant. It was not an amazing experience and more expensive than we expected. It was ok but forgettable although the service was not.The variety was limited for me and the good just was not exciting enough and quite bland.
