The Charcoal Restaurant is here to reinvent your conception of Middle-Eastern food. From the whole-spatchcocked chickens that we marinade daily to the very chickpeas for our Hummus that we prepare with love, we pride ourselves on getting it right. No canned stuff, no shortcuts. Come get a taste today.

2 months agoVery good chicken shawarma! Chicken was so flavorful and the fries have a unique seasoning that make them delicious! Wish I lived here to get it more often but this is probably one of the best chicken shawarma I have had outside of the middle east. If they had a little more seating inside it would be great but it was a nice day so I sat outside.

a month agoQuick service. Friendly staff that greeted us upon arriving. Ordered at the counter, paid, then found a seat. Food was out in a few minutes. They have some international sodas for sale as well. My son (who can be picky, but likes chicken) demolished the shawarma (chicken sandwich). The charcoal sauce was delicious and sets this place apart from other chicken places. Fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They were not just an afterthought. Will definitely be back.

4 weeks agoThe owner greeted as first time visitors to this restaurant, he told us what to order and his favorite ways to eat the food! This has become my new favorite comfort food! 10/10 the best Mediterranean restaurant in Louisville I would highly recommend to anyone. The staff was incredibly attentive and kind. I was blown away with the service, the quality of the food, and how fast the food came out! It felt like a home cooked meal and will definitely be back.

5 months agoWe are in Louisville visiting for a short time. When we are in town, we are always on the hunt looking for healthy fresh food.. so we decided to give Charcoal a try โฆand I have to say this is the absolute best food, Iโve eaten in Louisville ever, while visiting. The food was all made fresh, while we were waiting. The place is exceptionally clean โฆthatโs something Iโm very picky .. about and this is a very clean little restaurant. The owner was so nice very pleasant. Gave us recommendations. We had the Shish Tawook, and it was delicious. Best hummus Iโve ever had also. Chicken was so tender, right of the grill. We will definitely be returning here and making this a regular spot for us when we return. 5 stars all the way!
