The best Kobedas in Blackburn. Top place will always come back here. Friendly staff and great food
Food here is always brilliant, I’ve been countless times and it never disappoints, the last time I went the lamb chops tasted a little bit funny but apart from that 10/10 every time.
Charcoal cuisine definitely have pride in what they do and have high standards their kitchen/shop is also extremely clean.
Firstly I’ve got to say it was a very clean place including the bathroom which normally in other places is wet and/or smelly.
Food is really good. Kebabs, lamb, shish tikka, kobeda and the chicken was all well cooked but not overly so which then makes them dried out.
The BBQ Chicken is something which I’ve always found to be dry since people tend to overcook it but here it was so juicy, tender and had a great flavour.
The Burgers are good too.
The Naan is really good. Chips is ok but not the best. And the rice portion I found to be less.
When ordering the BBQ chicken with rice, I had expected that the chicken would be served on top of the rice so that the chicken juice and flavour would be mixed with the rice just as the other meats are served on top of the naan. However this is not the case and the rice is served separately.
Overall this place is recommended and you would not be disappointed.
P.S. Thought I’ll add a few pics of the menu since the prices have changed a little and the old ones are still shown.
Recently, I had the opportunity to order a takeaway from Charcoal Cuisine, and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. The restaurant's commitment to using fresh ingredients was evident even in their takeaway offerings.
The kebabs I ordered were nothing short of delicious. The generous portions of chicken and lamb in each kebab were cooked to perfection, resulting in tender and flavorful meat. The freshness of the ingredients truly shone through, adding an extra layer of satisfaction to every bite.
One aspect that particularly impressed me was the size of the nan breads that accompanied the kebabs. Despite being a takeaway, the nan breads were still substantial and of excellent quality. They provided the perfect base for enjoying the succulent kebabs, and their large size ensured that each bite was filled with a delightful combination of flavors.
Compared to my previous takeaway experience from Charcoal Cuisine, this time was even better. The flavors seemed to be more refined, and the overall quality of the food was outstanding. It was evident that the restaurant pays great attention to detail, even in their takeaway offerings, ensuring that customers can enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of their own homes.
While it's worth mentioning that Charcoal Cuisine's prices are slightly higher compared to other takeaway options, I firmly believe that the taste and overall experience justify the cost. The quality ingredients, the skillful preparation, and the robust flavors make it a worthwhile investment.
In conclusion, if you're craving delicious and filling kebabs for a takeaway meal, I highly recommend Charcoal Cuisine. Their commitment to using fresh ingredients and their dedication to flavor and quality shine through in every bite. Despite the slightly higher price point, the fantastic taste and overall experience make it a standout choice for a memorable and satisfying takeaway meal
The combo mixed grill platter was decent. The only problem is a VERY big problem and that’s the parking here.
Ordered a mix kobeda and chicken naan. Excellent food, plenty of salad and provided extra sauces.
As plenty of other reviews have said already, the place is really clean and the staff very friendly
Faulty-less , fresh , flavoured meats.
To be fair is place has got it right! The food is very good and comes out fast, the guys are friendly. Look at the whole area behind…. It’s spotless and very clean.
The upstairs are plenty full and Abel to seat a few family’s.
The Kobeda I think is the best I’ve had in the uk… honestly as I’ve eat loads of them all over the uk.
Top marks
Popped in today for a kebab. Lovely staff, spotlessly clean, superb kebab, great value. 5 stars from me all day long.
Lovely people
Good hearty food
Fast service
Lovely sauces. Come all the way especially for the yellow and red sauce. Lovely
Can only say could do with a bigger place. Feels very intimidating sitting around so many people so close together in a very small room.
Feel like no privacy and that’s the only reason I hesitate to go there often. But love the food and the service provided by the people there.
Went to this place late one evening with my little sister, brother and his close friend. I don't eat meat very often (strictly organic halal now) but decided to give it a try since they spoke highly of it.
The place has a very strange setup from ordering to dining in. You order and then have to take another side entrance upstairs to the eating areas. I guess it's due to a corner house conversion, that's also apparent from the customer bathroom/toilet (see photo). The place is clean and the service is good.
We ordered the mix grill and the friend got kebab. The meet of the sheesh kebabs and chicken was tender and full of flavor. The lamb chops were pretty tough and chewy and I have had better. If I was a regular meat eater I would probably go again but I would say there are plenty of places similar everywhere with the same price range.
Proper juicy and tender kebabs. I ordered the special mix 2. Brilliant service (particularly from Zafar Iqbal). Great value for money and I’m already looking forward to the next visit!
It's good food and looks very clean food 💯 good but the one man behind counter treat his staff badly souting at them put me off other than that love to go back again .
I and my friend had a lovely meal especially the kobeda kebabs alongside a little mix shish and chops.
Thank you!
Great food is freshly cooked, and it tasted great! Chops were succulent. Recommended!
Great food priced well. Seating is available upstairs but the stairs are steep and there is no lift. Thoroughly enjoyed the food and would come again.
