" Decided to drop by this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. Was on the hunt for authentic Indian cuisine and I was not disappointed. The flavors were truly on point in the dishes we tried, especially the Lamb Karahi and Chole. However, the ambiance could use a slight upgrade, it felt a bit outdated. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came with my family during the weekend, and we all were excited to try this place. The ambience was cozy, and the fixtures were rustic which added charm. We ordered Chicken Biryani, and it was delicious, one of the best I’ve had in the area. However, the service was a bit slow during the lunch rush. Overall, a great experience, and we’ll be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came here after hearing good things, hoping for an authentic experience. I wasn't disappointed! The Chai was amazing, perfectly brewed, and served at the right temperature! The Chicken Karahi was rich and fragrant. The only downside was seating— it was packed when we arrived, but it was worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful experience last night! The Mango Lassi and Chicken Karahi were absolutely incredible. You can really taste the authenticity in the food, which is hard to find these days. Plus, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. I’m definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Charcoal Chicken was quite pleasant. The food was tasty, and I particularly enjoyed the Chicken Tikka. The staff were accommodating and polite. However, the volume of the music while dining was rather distracting and made conversation a bit challenging. Overall, I would still recommend giving it a shot for good food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our first visit was promising! We shared a variety of dishes, and while I enjoyed the Lamb Kabab, the Chicken Tikka didn’t quite meet my expectations. The flavors were muted compared to what I typically love. The service was attentive, but a few more decorative touches in the decor wouldn’t hurt! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Indian restaurants, but I think Charcoal Chicken is currently my favorite. The flavor in the dishes is rich and satisfying, particularly the Lamb Karahi. The service has always been friendly, even when it gets busy. I will keep returning for that comforting home-cooked taste. " (*Curated Review*)
