    Kebab plate, they say it suppose to come with two of them. I can't tell. Look at how sad they look!
    Andi U.

    The problem I have with places like this is they seem to punish the patron that decides to eat out versus dining in. You can clearly see a difference in the portioning sizes that you get if you sit there and eat versus leaving and getting your food to go. Look at my kebab plate compared to the kabobs that come on a plate when you eat in! This plate was supposed to include two kabobs but this is literally one kebab chopped in half. If you you can't sit there and eat, didn't order from there at all!

    (3.5) We ordered from this place through Door Dash recently. My first gripe is that the door dash menu isn't set up for you to choose rice or fries as a side even though it says you can choose. So that was annoying. My second gripe is that this food is pricey!!!! My husband and I both ordered the mixed Shawarma plates, which were $35 each. The food was delicious though. Third gripe is that the $8 single piece of baklava we ordered was not that good. It was nice and flakey, but it wasn't very sweet. I would not recommend the baklava The rest of the food was good though, so maybe dining in would be the better option. But it's not cheap.

    Chicken Shawarma Wrap

    Walked in to a clean comfortable ambiance with some traditional music in the background. Quickly greeted and seated. Friendly staff. As soon as you walk in you can smell and see the meat roasting on coals in a giant skewer. My whole party enjoyed their food and raved about the taste. The lamb was nice and tender seasoned just right. Plates are very filling and well served. Can't wait to try again. Clean bathrooms with changing table in the women's.

    Chicken kabab platter

    Read so many great reviews and saw a lot of videos on TikTok. But honestly couldn't justify them. The restaurant is very dim inside. Service wasn't extremely welcoming. The girl who was working that day kind of had a judgmental attitude. Due to poor lighting it is hard to understand if restaurant is clean or not. The food was just ok. Nothing to be wow about.

    Solid 3.5 stars for amazing flavorful beef and chicken schwarma and rice with excellent hot pita. You can tell the baba ghanouj was fresh made. We just wish the lamb was better because the cuts were not great and the meat was rough and chewy. Also the hummus was fine but maybe we popped in on the wrong day?

    Looking for a new place to try Mediterranean food? If you are in the Glendale area, look no further! Charcoal Grill is very popular for their grilled meats such as lamb kabobs, shawarmas, and chicken tikka. They also offer loaded fries, Greek and vegetarian options. Casual setting with a cute bar if you're feeling spontaneous for a margarita with your meal! The service was quick, and the waiter was attentive and soft spoken. He made sure that we were comfortably enjoying our food and experience. Everything came out piping hot, fresh and sooo delicious!!! Even the rice had a flavorful punch in my mouth. Plenty of parking space and reasonable pricing with a generous portion. I think I found my new GO TO spot.

    Absolutely love this place. The food is super bomb. The soda is bubbly and the atmosphere is really amazing. Service is kind of slow, but the food is so worth it

    Amazing food and amazing service. Defiantly on my list to come back. Sports on the TVs was a nice touch. The open kitchen was cool!

    Omg. When you walk in, you can smell the smokiness of the meat and the wood. You can tell they are passionate about how the food is. We went at an "off peak" time, so with some restaurants it's hit or miss if the food/presentation would be good. The food looked delicious and it was. I got the beef schwarma plate. It was huge. I was starving and I knew on sight it was going to last at least 2 meals. The salad is exactly how you'd want, lots of toppings, everything was fresh. Yassss. The pita, super tasty, it was soft, had a good amount of tenderness and chew to it. Hummus-balanced, they finished it with olive oil, which adds to the richness, it had a good amount of tahini, I don't like hummus when it has too much in it. Rice-not too salty, flavorful, cooked to a good texture Beef schwarma meat- tender, flavorful and delicious. Garlic sauce- vampires stay away (lolll sorry I had to say it), this garlicky sauce is a nice compliment to the beef and it also tastes good dipping the pita in it. It doesn't shy away from the garlic, and it seems similar to a Mayo but not as thick. He got the beef schwarma combo, a beef schwarma wrap, fries & soda. The fries are crispy and cooked nicely but not that many places mess up frozen fries. Service was nice, incorrect soda was brought but we didn't care to fix it, it was not a big deal We got food to go, a kids meal with the chicken schwarma and fries, she said it was so good. She gave me a bite of the chicken and I thought it was pretty good, but still liked the beef better. She liked the chicken better than the beef bc I brought it home and she had some too. Would I come back? Obvi. It's not too far from me, service was very nice and the food was tasty. Would I do anything different? Order more pitas and hummus.

    Mixed shawarma plate
    Lucas M.

    Easily the best shawarma that I've had in the area. Meat was juicy and flavorful, portions were very large, every aspect of the meal was worth it. Service was also wonderful. The owner came by to greet us himself to ensure we had a great experience. I'll be back anytime I'm in the area and would highly recommended to anyone interested!!

    Food was amazing the lamb was on point very happy I stop here everything was

I do have a couple of critiques but it's still 5-stars and I'll still keep going back. - Something seems to have changed with the Iraqi Salad from the first time we had it... it's still good, but it was BETTER the first time, and I can't quite place what changed. - They do not have tap water. They say their water isn't good. They sell 16.9oz bottled water from Fry's or Walmart or wherever they get it that day for $1. This is not priced on the menu, which is a problem. And, if the water isn't good, are they also using bottled water for the rice, the coffee, and other cooking? This is just strange to me and not great. - Speaking of the rice, I do wish there were more options for sides with the meals. The rice is good, but sometimes I want something else, and there isn't any other choice. - The robot servers are weird... not the worst, but this is the only place I've ever been that has them, and they still want a full tip despite using these. - Service overall isn't the most attentive. Not horrible, but again, see above. Like I said though, we'll keep going back!

My favorite dish is their chicken kebabs or beef kebabs! Their sides are just as delicious ! They usually come with rice and veggies! They do have handicap parking and yes there is plenty of parking!

    Can I give this place more than five stars?? Because they deserve it…read more This is an order-at-the-counter kind of place. The gentleman working noticed us studying the menu and was extremely helpful, even offering a few sample bites before we decided. We ended up getting a chicken wrap, a falafel wrap, hummus and baklava. Hands down, the falafel was my favorite. I asked for the orange hot sauce on the side and it was fantastic. Definitely spicy though so be careful if that isn't your thing. The falafel was flavorful and moist. The wrap came with lettuce, tomato, pickle, cucumber and sauce inside a tortilla, then grilled. Absolutely perfect. Fresh and delicious. My partner's chicken was also great. Fewer vegetables than on the falafel wrap. The chicken meat was super juicy and perfectly seasoned. Both meals came with a soup that was a nice addition. But people... hear me out.... The baklava. SO. FREAKING GOOD. Perfectly flaky and the right amount of sweetness. We added it on as an impulse buy while we paid and it ended up being the star of the show. I sincerely can't wait to go back. Thank you for a great meal!

Welcome to my internal struggle as this place has been on my "gotta try" list forever and thanks to my youngest daughter's valentines date request I said enough and we came. Greeted with a clean space friendly faces and walls of accolades for the food, particularly the falafel. Daughter wanted to try the falafel as did I so we ordered the Alien fries with falafel and the chicken shawarma plate, food all came quickly and smelled amazing. We dove right into the fries and the falafel and we both loved it, so flavorful and delicious and the sauce drizzled on those seasoned fries so so good. My daughter went into the chicken and rice with the garlic sauce and was loving it, needless to say I crushed the assignment and we had a wonderful date together. Excited to come back with other members of the family

Unfortunately, that's where the positives ended. We ordered and were asked if we were dining in or taking our food to go. We said dining in, but there were no open tables inside (around 12 total) and zero tables available outside. We ended up waiting in the back for a table to open while staff repeatedly walked around looking for our table number, never once asking if the order might be ours. After several minutes, someone finally asked if we were number 11. We were. Once seated, the decor was cute, but service was mediocre at best. The food was the biggest disappointment. It had been a while since we last visited, and it's definitely not the same. The rice was bland and flavorless, and the gyro meat tasted like frozen, reheated product -- very dry, with the main flavor being salt. Instead of the fresh-carved gyro meat you typically see on a vertical rotisserie at most Greek restaurants, the kitchen area was closed off, so there was no visible preparation or carving station. For nearly $50, the experience simply did not match the price. Between the disorganized service and underwhelming food, we won't be back. Next time, we'll stick to supporting East Valley Greek spots that offer better quality and value. I want to preface, this place used to be good. Not sure of ownership changed, but save yourself a trip and find something better and more affordable
