About AA CHARCOAL GRILL

On Lewes Rd in Brighton, AA Charcoal Grill is a kebab shop serving doner kebabs, wraps and burgers, plus chicken wings and chip and meat kebabs. Chicken and lamb doner and chicken shish sit alongside cheeseburger meals on the menu. The kitchen makes its own chilli sauce, and the counter staff ask whether pickled peppers should go on the order. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservations, and chips come folded into the bag rather than boxed separately. Delivery runs through the Just Eat app for those not collecting in person. Dogs are welcome on site.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the doner and shish kebabs, with the lamb doner and chicken shish repeatedly praised for tasting fresh and well seasoned, and one diner highlighting the housemade chilli sauce. Others call out generous portions on kebabs and a burger meal ordered late at night, plus friendly, fast delivery. Against that, a recurring thread of order and service problems surfaces: several describe mistaken items, including a chip and meat kebab arriving as a plain chicken doner with no chips, and one reviewer says staff on the phone were rude and hung up. Complaints also cover a dry, unsalted chips order with no sauce and a wrap called cold and tasteless despite the price. One reviewer reports finding mould on cheesy chips and says staff got defensive rather than remaking the dish, offering extra cheese on the same plate instead.

    “This was our first time of ordering food from this company. It was early hours (12.30am) & my usual take aways were no longer delivering. The food arrived fairly quickly and was absolutely delicious. Ordered 2 kebabs and a cheese burger meal and all of the food was fantastic. The kebabs (chicken & lamb) were lovely, good quality meat, salad, etc and the burger was also really great. The size of the kebabs were way bigger than I expected (ordered small) and the price was very reasonable. When delivery was less than £1 that just topped it off. Finally the driver was friendly and very polite. What more can I say, we will definitely be ordering again and we are very happy customers. Highly recommend.”

    “Ordered chip and meat kebab and got a chicken doner and no chips then when I called to tell them they said I’d ordered the chicken kebab when I know full well I didn’t say that and then they put the phone down and was really rude about it! Won’t be ordering from here again gone downhill and the man doing the orders over the phone is super Rude! Terrible service…”

    “I recently visited AA Charcoal grill kebab shop and was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the food. Every ingredient tasted fresh, from the crisp, vibrant vegetables to the perfectly seasoned and grilled meats particularlythe chicken shish. You can truly taste the difference that fresh ingredients make, and it elevates their dishes far above the standard fast-food experience. Highly recommended for anyone craving a fresh and flavorful meal!”

    “Popped into AA Charcoal Grill and was really impressed. The quality of the food was spot on, and they definitely don't skimp on the portion sizes—you get a proper amount for what you pay. Really tasty, good value, and hit the spot perfectly. Will definitely be coming back again.”
