Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The dishes were perfectly seasoned with bright herbs and spices, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Generous portions, great balance of flavors, and authentic Mediterranean comfort in every bite. Definitely a spot worth returning to.
Absolutely delicious fire grilled kabobs! We had a take out and everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken and beef kabobs were both perfectly grilled juicy and full of flavor. The shawarma delicious! We also had falafel which were very authentic crunchy and exploding with flavor. The service was super friendly and restaurant very clean. So happy we have this gem of a middle eastern Mediterranean restaurant in the area. Will definitely be back to try other items on the extensive menu, oh and least I forget the prices were very reasonable!!
The customer service is fantastic! The food is excellent! We have had the chicken wings several times and they are great. Today we did the family shawarma platter and wow! So much food. Entire family loved it. We subbed rice for the fries and they were very accommodating.
The food was just amazing, I got the steak shawarma plate and forgot to even get a picture because I finished it too fast. The staff was very friendly as well and helpful while ordering. I didn’t catch any of the guys names but thanks to everyone working that Thursday night! Only thing I would say is that I wish the fries portion was a little more, but that’s just my personal preference. Would 100% recommend this spot to anyone in the Chicagoland area!
Delicious, fresh Mediterranean food with very attentive service. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared, and the staff made us feel truly taken care of. Highly recommended!
Decided to give Char & Coal a try after hearing good things, and it definitely lived up to the hype. We ordered the Family Platter #3, and every bite was excellent. The grill flavor really stood out, the chicken was moist, the beef was incredibly soft, and the kufta was seasoned just right. The platters are perfect for sharing and offer a lot of food for the price. The employees were polite, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. This is a place I'll gladly recommend to family and friends and will definitely be visiting again.
From the moment we walked in, Char & Coal had such a warm and welcoming vibe. We were greeted by Ruwaida, who was incredibly attentive and kept checking in to see if we needed anything. We ordered two combo specials, and they were a feast — beautifully presented with generous portions, fresh sides, and sauces. The flavor of the meat was superb: juicy, perfectly seasoned, and grilled just right. Everything tasted authentic and full of flavor, and the service truly made the experience even better. I would definitely come back soon and highly recommend Char & Coal to anyone looking for top-notch Mediterranean food in Homer Glen!
Today was my first time trying this grill. The food here was excellent! I had the Falafel Rice Bowl to go and it was extremely tasty. The rice was especially delicious and the vegetables were fresh. The falafel was perfect. Service was quick, friendly, and helpful. I will definitely return to try other items on their menu.
Tried Char & Coal today for the first time and ordered the Family Platter #2. Everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The beef was tender, the chicken was juicy, and the kufta was delicious. The portions were generous, the staff was very friendly and welcoming, and our food came out quickly. You can tell they care about the quality of both the food and the service. Definitely a hidden gem, and I'll be coming back. Highly recommend giving this place a try!
My fiancé and I go to a lot of places and eat a lot of meat. Char & Coal has some of the best quality and well cooked meat, and how savory it is in every bite is indescribable. Pictured is the mixed grill and everything was top notch delicious. Fiance got the chicken shawarma sandwich, the portions given were double than we expected. Meat was again, cooked to perfection. New favorite resturant in Homer Glen. I also want to make note of, who I believe to be, the owner. He was extremely kind, kept checking in on us while having to get orders out.
