Charcoal House

Food was ok but overall, kebab meat from the mixed platter was a bit under flavored. The chicken needed more salt. The sambusas were ok when hot but solidified with cooling. It's very loud here, especially as there was a performance. No surprise that the waiter misheard our order and we never got the beef sambusas we asked for, but instead, another set of cheese sambusas.Too much smoke in this hookah lounge. Was glad for my mask and eat plugs to block out the loud music and strong smoke smell. The show was pleasant and free with dinner, so on the whole a nice experience. Free valet parking. Reserve ahead of time to get a spot on busy nights like show nights. A Syrian singer sang covers of middle eastern songs. The concert aspect was fun.

I went to Charcoal House last Friday with group of friends to attend an Assyrian comedy show, Ramina. The event was not ver organized in my opinion. We had an assigned table, but they put us on a different table next to it, not a big deal. The chairs were very uncomfortable. We ordered the Maza platter for appetizer which included tabola, hummus, baba ghanog, and chacheek for $35 and it was good. For dinner, we ordered Tray one which has mixed grills for $99 and it was advertised to come with rice, but it came with out it. When we asked about the rice, they said they were out, but they will bring us more fries. The fries never came, they were out of that too. They added 25% service fee which I didn't mind because the waiter was really nice and always checking in. They offered free parking.

It was an amazing experience. Everything was good, food, music and the service. It was a great ambience

First time here at Charcoal House came for Deejay Al and it was such a latge place, great seats, bar was nice, hookah and food was great, drinks were delish!! We ordered the Chicken Tikka Plate, Fattoush Salad, and Mixed Shwarma Plate. The Cosmo was great tasting too. Food was great and seasoned well!! Service was a bit spotty. It was hard to track down a waiter for little things here and there.The First DJ was great!! Great mix of arabic, old school, house. Deejay Al of course was amazing and made people get up and dance. It was an awkard set up for a DJ not to have a dance floor! Persians break the rules, we made a dance floor and had a blast!! I would definitely return!!

From my understanding they're under new ownership and they are now open for lunch. At first site I was rather confused at the entrance because no one is there to greet you and there are 2 huge gray doors that don't exactly communicate "come in". However, I am so glad I peeked in because I was greeted by very friendly people and a beautiful atmosphere / ambiance, where you can have a conversation, and the music isn't overpowering nor are other people's conversations. Good for a couple or groups. They have more than enough seating.We ordered as an appetizer Jajeek (see pic). We've never had it before but dang it was very good. For the main course we ordered the lamb shank and the mixed beef plate (see pics). Delicious doesn't begin to describe what we were eating.. All the different spices, textures and flavors were a thrill ride for the taste buds. I drank a Diet Coke (my go to) and Omar had an iced tea (see pic) which wasn't even on the menu but the waitress, Rowa (awesome), made it from what she had available and Omar says it was delicious. There was a LOT of food. So we had to take some home but that was just to make room for dessert...kunafa (see pic)...yummers!!!Are we coming back? HECK YA and you might want to give it a try too. Reasonably priced for these days of inflationary pressures.

Food is great and priced fairly, service is good, cool setup. Hookah is decent. It's a good place to come with group of friends.

For those of us who have always known this place as the "Wrinkle Room" (old dive bar with Karaoke) this place has been TOTALLY revamped!!! Take a look at these pics (attached) Went for lunch with a friend last week. BEAUTIFUL venue perfect for receptions or large parties! No afternoon Hookah (only at night), but food and service was AMAZING! My friend ordered waaaay too much food but it gave me an opportunity to try everything. The appetizer plate had four dips (hummus, Tabbouleh, Tzatziki, and one more?) all of them DELICIOUS! Then the chicken / steak / Kabob, rice and salad came out and it was SO good too! The service was 5 star! The hostess / waitress were SO attentive and even made me a drink based on what I told her liked and it was PERFECT! There are beautiful leather booths that offer each party a semi private area and the bar is GORGEOUS! Hopefully the pictures I've attached do it justice.Follow up:Went for Shisha (hookah) and drinks the other night. It was packed (they had a special guest singer performing) and it was a PAAARRTY!! Tried smoking with a grapefruit bowl (see photo) for the first time and it really added a great touch!! I don't know what they are called on the menu, but we had these little chicken appetizers that came out with tinfoil on the leg (to keep your fingers clean while eating?) and they were SOOOOOO delicious!!!!You gotta check this place out!!

It was good restaurant, the food was delicious, highly recommended The entertainment program was nice

Do not go here if you are l... Horrible hospitality and rude beyond expectations. We walked in for a drink and they said we were not dressed appropriate with a bunch of dude in t shirts and sneakers. Give me a break we were at the bar. What is the deal with this place? What's the sense of community? Who is this place welcoming if not everyone? Whatever.

The food at Charcoal House is incredible! The service is excellent and the staff are so friendly and on top of it. I've gone to a couple events recently and it gets better each time. The DJs and singers each weekend make such a fun evening. I highly recommend checking them out for lunch, dinner or a fun night out. They have many events throughout the week and weekend.
