I've been to Charcoals quite a few times and have come away satisfied. The quality of the dishes and the way they are prepared has always been up to a high enough standard.

Description: Hidden away in plain sight on Glasgow���s Renfield Street, Charcoals is easily missed by passers by but a restaurant well worth seeking out. Held in high regard by locals thanks to its great Indian food, Charcoals offers what could be some of the best curries in town. Under new management since 2011 but still providing that award winning formula that made it such a success in the first place, Charcoals maintains a clean, unpretentious interior with a cosy, comfortable and warm feel and relaxed, unhurried atmosphere helped along by friendly, efficient service. A comprehensive collection of Indian curry house favourites, Charcoals provides lovers of Asian food with almost too much choice ��� the specialties ranging from baltis and kormas to those sundries that make an Indian meal in to a feast. Extremely affordable with set lunches and pre-theatre menus adding extra value for those in a hurry, this local favourite looks set to remain so for years to come.

We dined here on Saturday night along with some friends, and cannot fault the food, customer care, efficiency, price and atmosphere. There is a real commitment to fresh tasty Indian cuisine, which is lacking in other Indian restaurants in Glasgow. We all had pakora for starters, soft flakey fish in a moreish batter delicious, my husband had the chicken which...

A group of friends and I went for lunch at Charcoal's on the recommendation of one of the group, who had been before. This is by far the best Indian food I have tasted!! The service was outstanding and Ali was very knowlegeable, providing in-depth detail of the contents of each dish (if requested). Ali also provided complimentary side dishes,...
