My favourite Indian restaurant in Scotland. We have tried others but always go back to Charcoal as they serve great food and also service is great too. Great value for money and certainly worth the walk from the Central Station

My friends and I had been regulars at the old Chacoals located up on Renfield Street, but thought that the Pandemic had sadly forced its closure. However, we were pleasantly surprised to discovered that it had simply relocated to the Trongate! Even more so, the quality of the food and service remains as good, if not better, than before. It is once again our regular Indian restaurant in Glasgow, and we probably couldn't recommend it enough!

I've been here before, but this was my first time back since covid. Incredibly, the owner remembered us and we had a nice chat over a glass of wine. He's friendly and helpful, and very passionate and proud of his food and his restaurant. In order of what we received: The reasonably priced house wine was very good. The poppadoms were fresh and crispy, and the dips were all homemade and delicious. Their lime pickle is possibly the best I've ever tasted. We had another chat about onions. They use three different varieties, but Spanish white ones are best for spiced onions. The starters were all excellent; my fish pakora was outstanding, again with a homemade dip. My main was a prawn and cheese curry, which was delicious, and I had a little taste of other people's dishes, any of which I would have been delighted to eat. The rice, naan and chapatis were all good too. This might only be because I told the owner it was my birthday, but they kept bringing little free things to the table, starting with an extra dish of the spiced onions we'd admired, some charred poppadoms and a delicious dip. Then there was a dish of spiced new potatoes, a bowl of very tasty daal. Everything was excellent, but we were filling up and couldn't finish it all. At the end, we had to rush to catch a train, and the owner rushed over and asked us to stay a little longer so he could give us more stuff. We couldn't. The bill was a very pleasant surprise. We'd ordered the pretheatre menu for £14.95 and that was all they charged us for. I don't think there's a restaurant anywhere else in the city where you are so well looked after and eat such good quality food at this price. I also love it when a restaurateur is genuinely proud of his restaurant. Truly excellent.

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!
