About Charcoal Grill
Charcoal Grill is a kebab shop at 72 George St in Oldham, and it has served the local area for over 25 years. The menu centres on a stir fry donner, with burgers alongside it, including a spicy chicken fillet burger. Chicken shashlik on rice covers the grill side.

Customer Review Summary
Stir fried doner and chips draws the most praise, with one regular calling it mega and another describing a generous portion and flavour that was spot on. Close behind is the spicy chicken fillet burger, and one reviewer says the Nomi burger, which stacks that fillet with a cheeseburger and grilled donner in a signature sauce, can't be improved. Others mention fresh food, soft and fluffy chips with a mix of sauces, and a recent revamp of a dated interior. The complaints carry real weight, though. Several describe slow service, including one who kept hearing "5 more minutes" while staff stood chatting. Others found the burger and doner tasteless after a closure, the full peri chicken like steamed chicken, mayo poured over the chips in the hot chick box, and a chicken steak closer to curry. Chips have also arrived sloppy and limp. One diner carried plates to the table in three trips, and another's website order never arrived after the manager who answered was rude.

“Absolute disappointed in the workers.. they should know how to give the correct money back. I usually don’t look how much I get back in return as you expect them to know but tell me why I got £3 from a 20 note when my total was £13 🥲 sort your staff out robbing customers !!!”

“This is probably the worst restaurant in Oldham. I waited 30 minutes for just one meal, and when I asked about my order, they first said “1 minute.” Then another staff member said 15 minutes. After waiting another 15 minutes, they said 5 more minutes. Then, after another 10 minutes, they said another 5 minutes! I ended up waiting almost an hour for a single order. The restaurant wasn’t even busy—the staff were just chatting and hanging around instead of preparing the orders. Honestly, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and money and go somewhere else. I would strongly advise people not to come here.”

“The food used to be really nice we used to go twice a week because we loved it. After they were closed for a while, though, something changed. We gave it a few chances and went back three times, but each visit was disappointing. The burger and doner were tasteless, and it felt like the food wasn’t prepared properly anymore. Such a shame compared to how good it used to be.”
