About Charcoals

Big flavours and even bigger portions are the draw at this Glasgow curry house, and the room is smart enough that you won't feel underdressed but relaxed enough that nobody minds a wriggly toddler. The team get a lot of praise for being warm and quick — food arrives fast, which matters when someone's hungry and losing patience — and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and step-free buggy access. The chicken karahi, lamb and mutton biryani, butter chicken and paneer makhani all come up again and again, with fluffy naan and fresh pakoras alongside; portions are described as huge, so consider sharing with little ones. Vegan options and mocktails are covered, plus outdoor seating for warmer days. Prices are gentler than the surroundings suggest. Evenings and weekends get busy, so booking is sensible.
