Over from the US for our honeymoon. Our Glaswegian friends recommended Charcoals and we have to say it did not disappoint. Food was fantastic, the service was great and everyone was very attentive. Great flavors and the perfect amount of heat in several of our dishes. Plus we love that they have a philanthropic mission to feed the homeless as well. Put Charcoal on your itinerary!

Easily the best Asian restaurant in the city. I have eaten in most curry restaurants in the city but the food in this place tops the lot. The owner is a great host and his staff are attentative as you would expect from a good restaurant.

Without the doubt best Indian food that I have had for a long time, can't belive that it has took me so many years to try Charcoals Each dish was fresh, full of flavour and authentic. Service was spot on and relaxing and friendly Without a doubt new favourite place to go

Been to this restaurant and reviewed lots of times and never have a bad thing to say about this fabulous restaurant. Once again food was amazing and staff so friendly and helpful. Had a lovely lunch and no urgency for us to leave once finished, happy for us to stay and have another drink. Would highly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

First time in the new restaurant. I booked online for 1215 but on arriving couldn’t get in for 20 minutes as the staff were cleaning the floor. This wasn’t too much of a problem as I had plenty time, however had I been pressed for time it would have been . I think Charcoals need to alter the online booking system so that a customer booking a time gets that time, or do the pre opening floor cleaning earlier. The food was excellent and the service very good. My only other slight criticism is that the waiting staff chatted away in their language quite loudly while I was eating. When this happens it always crosses my mind that they may be talking about me ( though I doubt this very much). Overall: Food superb & good friendly service. I would definitely come again.

First visit to Charcoals since their move from Renfield Street. The new premises is much more roomy than the previous, well decorated, with nice toilets and all over makes for a superior designed restaurant. What hasn't changed though is the food and the service which is still brilliant. Ali and the team produce dishes which are different to any other Indian style restaurant in this Glasgow. Highly recommended, head to Trongate and Charcoals.

The tandoor meats are great. Beautifully succulent and flavourful. The Chef’s Special: Chicken Tikka Charcoals and Murgh Malai Tikka were both fantastic. However not everything was great. The raita and mango sauces served with the poppadoms were virtually water and tasteless. The naans are hard and dense, very poor. Finally, a member of our group found a small shard of metal, clearly from a can, in his meal (he bit on it). We didn't ask for a discount, we just mentioned it to the waiter. Who barely reacted. Nobody from the kitchen or manager came to apologise or address the concern. We probably won't return to dine in but might order tandoor chicken in future.

Lovely authentic curry and warm and welcoming inside ( as it was a very cold day) Tasters ( free) which were veg pakora and some type of bread which was a nice touch. Garlic naan bread however was not too fussed for at all… wasn’t bubbly and crispy with loads of ghee, instead was evenly flat and soft on top. All in all a good meal though!
