Quick info
About Charcoal Grill
On Tonbridge Rd in Maidstone, Charcoal Grill is a kebab shop at number 52 that also runs a wider menu for people who want something other than a kebab. Fish and chips, scampi and burgers sit alongside the doner and shish cooking, so a group can order a mix of styles in one visit. Doner comes as chicken, or as a mixed chicken and doner kebab. Shish wraps come in chicken and lamb. Kebabs are served with salad and sauce, and chips can be ordered as meat and chips or as an extra portion. Garlic and chilli sauces are the choices offered with the kebabs.

Customer Review Summary
Donner kebab is the item reviewers return to most, with the chicken donner and the mixed chicken and donner kebabs described as tasty, especially with garlic and chilli sauce. One regular who has visited dozens of times says it is never a let down. Chips come close behind, with one reviewer saying they are always cooked to perfection and another calling them great. Others praise the lamb shish and chicken shish wrap as fresh and tasty, along with the scampi and burgers, though one finds the fish in the fish and chips not so good. Delivery draws mixed reports. Several describe hot, well packaged, correct orders and quick service, yet one waited an hour on a Thursday evening. Another received a cold order and says staff told them nothing could be done because they were busy, then hung up. A chicken shish also arrived dry, without the salad or sauce ordered, in rock hard tortilla wraps. One reviewer suggests seasoning the chips in a bowl and tossing them before handing them over so every chip is salted.

“I would not order from this kebab shop! I have received my order cold and when I have called to deal with it and was told nothing can be done and that they are busy and hung up on me. I will get my money back and will report them for this as this is not acceptable and should not be operating this way.”

“ordered a chicken shish with salad and sauce it came dry without my salad or sauce. chicken wraps had no salad or sauce all food was as dry as cardboard and why was the tortilla wraps rock hard and crispy. you can't get a decent takeaway these days its a no from me wont order from again and definitely do not recommend.”

“I would like to make a complaint regarding the order we received yesterday evening. We ordered chicken doner kebabs. My partner’s meat seemed absolutely fine, however in my kebab the meat was very fatty and looked like chicken skin, almost like skin from chicken drumsticks, with some strange pieces that even resembled feather remnants. I have honestly never had a kebab like this before. It was extremely unpleasant and impossible to eat. I only managed to eat some of the vegetables and a bit of the pita before realising how bad the meat was. I am very disappointed with the quality of the food and, unfortunately I will never be ordering from you again.”
- James Avery
“Chips are ALWAYS cooked to perfection. The only critique I’d have is to season the chips in a bowl & toss, prior to the customer receiving their order, so that every chip has the saltiness a customer is looking for within it. Foods always nice. The fish of the fish & chips isn’t so good, but the scampi is. Prices are also a little high, but you pay for what you get”
- Jade Young
“Excellent food, decent prices, and good delivery times. Lads are always happy to help. Will definitely use again.”
