We're trying more and more to focus on healthy dining when we go out. But we don't want to forgo fun atmospheres and great tasting foods. We still love chicken wings and fries and burgers with onion rings, etc., but we know we need to be careful as we look around us to see what is happening to our health in America in general. Pills, injections, procedures, etc. are not the answers. So many times a healthy foods or Mediterranean theme restaurants satisfied that 'healthy' aspect, but it is a hit-or-miss experience. Charcoal Grill is average sized inside (there is no outside dining) and a bit sparse, but they have great service, is clean and offers plenty of selections on their menu. Not bad. Not bad at all and we look forward to coming back. read more

Service was great! I got the chicken shawarma wrap on the authentic bread and the yogurt drink which reminded me of ayran. The lemon mint juice was super refreshing too! The meat was flavored and not dry. Only thing was the baklava tasted old. read more

The food was delicious here and something really enjoyed. We had the mixed Shawarma platter. Lamb kabobs and a lamb chop and baklava were delicious. The service was very good. The ambience was decent nothing to over the top. But modest in presentation. Solid 4 out of 5 as far restaurants read more

Amazing experience. The best Mediterranean food on the west side of the Valley. This is going to be my new go to stop.

Walked in to a clean comfortable ambiance with some traditional music in the background. Quickly greeted and seated. Friendly staff. As soon as you walk in you can smell and see the meat roasting on coals in a giant skewer. My whole party enjoyed their food and raved about the taste. The lamb was nice and tender seasoned just right. Plates are very filling and well served. Can't wait to try again. Clean bathrooms with changing table in the women's. read more

(3.5) We ordered from this place through Door Dash recently. My first gripe is that the door dash menu isn't set up for you to choose rice or fries as a side even though it says you can choose. So that was annoying. My second gripe is that this food is pricey!!!! My husband and I both ordered the mixed Shawarma plates, which were $35 each. The food was delicious though. Third gripe is that the $8 single piece of baklava we ordered was not that good. It was nice and flakey, but it wasn't very sweet. I would not recommend the baklava The rest of the food was good though, so maybe dining in would be the better option. But it's not cheap. read more

Read so many great reviews and saw a lot of videos on TikTok. But honestly couldn't justify them. The restaurant is very dim inside. Service wasn't extremely welcoming. The girl who was working that day kind of had a judgmental attitude. Due to poor lighting it is hard to understand if restaurant is clean or not. The food was just ok. Nothing to be wow about. read more

Solid 3.5 stars for amazing flavorful beef and chicken schwarma and rice with excellent hot pita. You can tell the baba ghanouj was fresh made. We just wish the lamb was better because the cuts were not great and the meat was rough and chewy. Also the hummus was fine but maybe we popped in on the wrong day? read more

Great food and very friendly service. Will be back soon for the lamb and also humus.

My brother recommended Charcoal Grill several times to me . He said the portions were huge. I thought we would give it a try for lunch. We both had their Shawarma on a pita. I had Chicken and my brother had Beef. We also had a couple of Falafel rings. The Shawarma was very good. The Falafel rings were good too. The portion was not what I thought was huge . Just average to me. Maybe he thought their entree potions were huge. I'll give that a try next time out. read more

Looking for a new place to try Mediterranean food? If you are in the Glendale area, look no further! Charcoal Grill is very popular for their grilled meats such as lamb kabobs, shawarmas, and chicken tikka. They also offer loaded fries, Greek and vegetarian options. Casual setting with a cute bar if you're feeling spontaneous for a margarita with your meal! The service was quick, and the waiter was attentive and soft spoken. He made sure that we were comfortably enjoying our food and experience. Everything came out piping hot, fresh and sooo delicious!!! Even the rice had a flavorful punch in my mouth. Plenty of parking space and reasonable pricing with a generous portion. I think I found my new GO TO spot. read more

Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We tried the chicken wings (mango habanero, buffalo and garlic lemon) and they were crunchy and amazing. The garlic lemon were my favorite. The loaded fries were so good- we ordered another basket. Their hummus, salad, and rice were all so delicious. Every bite was superb! Our server, Matt was great. He kept our drinks filled and has a very pleasant demeanor. We will be back many times over! read more

Nice clean restaurant and check out the meat grilling on the way in! Service was fast, food was delicious and we split a shawarma plate and were stuffed! Planning on returning next time we're in town to try the beef! read more

Omg. When you walk in, you can smell the smokiness of the meat and the wood. You can tell they are passionate about how the food is. We went at an "off peak" time, so with some restaurants it's hit or miss if the food/presentation would be good. The food looked delicious and it was. I got the beef schwarma plate. It was huge. I was starving and I knew on sight it was going to last at least 2 meals. The salad is exactly how you'd want, lots of toppings, everything was fresh. Yassss. The pita, super tasty, it was soft, had a good amount of tenderness and chew to it. Hummus-balanced, they finished it with olive oil, which adds to the richness, it had a good amount of tahini, I don't like hummus when it has too much in it. Rice-not too salty, flavorful, cooked to a good texture Beef schwarma meat- tender, flavorful and delicious. Garlic sauce- vampires stay away (lolll sorry I had to say it), this garlicky sauce is a nice compliment to the beef and it also tastes good dipping the pita in it. It doesn't shy away from the garlic, and it seems similar to a Mayo but not as thick. He got the beef schwarma combo, a beef schwarma wrap, fries & soda. The fries are crispy and cooked nicely but not that many places mess up frozen fries. Service was nice, incorrect soda was brought but we didn't care to fix it, it was not a big deal We got food to go, a kids meal with the chicken schwarma and fries, she said it was so good. She gave me a bite of the chicken and I thought it was pretty good, but still liked the beef better. She liked the chicken better than the beef bc I brought it home and she had some too. Would I come back? Obvi. It's not too far from me, service was very nice and the food was tasty. Would I do anything different? Order more pitas and hummus. read more

Easily the best shawarma that I've had in the area. Meat was juicy and flavorful, portions were very large, every aspect of the meal was worth it. Service was also wonderful. The owner came by to greet us himself to ensure we had a great experience. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area and would highly recommended to anyone interested!! read more

Beef tikka was delicious. It would definitely be ordered again. Plenty of food. The rice and salad were both quite tasty. Fast and friendly service. Great neighborhood place. I would come back for sure. read more

We don't have anything like this where we are from but we wish we did.. this is fantastic Chicken Shawarma done over charcoal which takes it to a higher level... hummus is smooth and very flavorful... Service is great and there is plenty of parking. I saw these loaded French fries on the menu but we ordered too much food already so next time we are trying those. Highly recommend the hummus appetizer with your choice of meat.. it comes with these light and crispy puffy chips that you won't get anywhere else. read more

The service was amazing. The staff. Brought a coloring menu for my child and was very polite to her even though she had toddler behavior lol. Good was great and tasted so healthy. I'm not a beef eater but the shawarma that I got for the children's plate so soo good! read more

My husband and I came here really late on a Friday night. It was nice to have this as an option for a late night meal. We got the hummus flight, the mix kabob/tikka plate, and the mix shawarma plate. We both really enjoyed the original and spicy hummus. The jalapeño hummus was alright, but it wasn't spicy. The lamb was our favorite of all the meats we got. The rice was very good, we definitely recommend it over the fries. I didn't give a 5 star rating because the shawarma and chicken kabob was a little dry. The server was really polite and very quick to take our order and refill our drinks. We will definitely be coming back. read more

We had couple of schwarma wraps takeout couple days ago. This was similar to a burrito style because it was wrapped in pita. Very good on the go as it came wrapped nicely. The beef was little greasy but tasty. The chicken was better of the two. The meats are charcoal grilled which gave them a nice flavor. They had live band playing on a Friday night too. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

We had a wonderful time together. They were coming to town and asked if we wanted to meet up. We had never been here and they picked where to go. We had the falafel wrap and it was delicious. Toasty and great taste. They all had kabob's and they said they were great. Great little place and very nice atmosphere and service. Fun night and great place to get together. Thank you Charcoal Grill for a great time!! read more

Love love love! Super close to my house and I'm just getting a chance to sink my mouth into some of the offerings from Charcoal Grill! I was invited here and was pleasantly impressed! The delicious smell hits you as soon as you walk in the door! Lots of choices and it was hard to decide what to pick! I wanted one of everything, but settled on the whole chicken platter since it would be plenty for later! The white garlic sauce is a tasty accompaniment! I simply enjoyed everything from the salad, hummus, pita, and even fries! The happy hour discount on drinks is even available on Saturdays! I highly recommend this place when you are in the area, or better yet, make a trip to this side of town. You will taste why the rating is so high! I will definitely be back for more! read more

On a recent trip, I found an amazing Turkish kebab place and wanted to find a local place that had similar food. Charcoal Grill was a great find. Right up front when you walk in are two rotating spits slowly turning juicy meat over charcoal. The menu has lots of options but we selected a skewer trio and a mixed shawarma plate. Whoa! Hugely generous servings on a pizza-sized plate. We barely made a dent in our portions. The great news about that is...leftovers! The staff was attentive and friendly but but not hovering. The tables were somewhat basic restaurant quality tables but this could easily be a upscaled later as the tasty food was suitable for a tablecloth and cloth napkins -- though I'm sure it would be messy and expensive to manage a linen bill with rice and olive oil in abundance! Definitely go check out Charcoal Grill for something local, tasty and different from your run of the mill night out. read more

Excellent food, very friendly service. Not the fastest, so if you are in a hurry plan ahead. They clearly take their time to provide a quality meal. This was our first time, and definitely not the last! *only one handicap parking space, but if there is a driver, it's pretty easy to drop off your person at the door. read more

My picky kid steals my leftovers every time I eat here, so you know it's good. Both the beef and chicken shawarma are excellent and if you can't decide, get the combo plate. I don't know if they make their own pita, but theirs is SO SOFT and pillowy, so good, way better than anything at the grocery store. Service is kind and fast. Hummus is great and the appetizer platter is very good (but a TON of food, so get it to share). Get the rice, not the fries. read more
