" What a hidden gem! My family and I visited The Charcoal Restaurant last weekend, and we were blown away by the flavors. The grilled chicken was juicy, and the garlic sauce was divine! The owner was incredibly friendly and shared his favorite menu items, which we loved. We also tried the falafel, and it was the best we've ever had. It’s so nice to find a place that serves authentic Mediterranean food! Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)
