Charcoal Eats - Pune

Love the way food is served specially focused on neatness and plating good place to hangout with your buddies

Located on the silent interior streets of Aundh,this place has a regular indoor as well as outdoor seating.I visited here for lunch with a friend of mine. What we ordered ??? •Starter-DAHI KE KEBAB Dahi ke Kebab is a special type of kebab which should be soft,crispy and moist ,all at same time.But the ones served here were oily ,soggy and OKish in taste,could have been better if not deep fried. •Main Course-VEG AWADHI BIRYANI As per their recommendation tried Awadhi biryani for the very first time and it was WOW.It had a slightly sweetish taste as compared to Hyderabadi Biryani which made it distinct.Also the quantity was adequate for the price paid. •Sides-EXOTICA PIZZA SQUARE This one is similar to any thin crust Pizza with Khaari base. Honestly I did not like it as the toppings were dry and base was too crisp to gulp properly. . •Dessert-SALTED CARAMEL MOUSSE As I am not a fan of chocolate ,so ordered Salted caramel mousse .It was soft as silk and melted in mouth.Truly ,one of the best mousse I had in recent times.Highly recommended ?. ?Charcoal Eats is a pocket-friendly restaurant famous for its Biryanis & Desserts,very much suitable for home delivery as well.

Ambience is ok ok.The rice bowl had mostly gravy n very less rice n was spicy...so cudnt finish it up.The non-veg platter name should be changed...as it contained few items..u can see the pics. Only one person was handling the entire thing I guess...from taking orders,I guess cooking and serving as well. 2 star is coz of the free tea provided at the end☺. I guess this place is good for home delivery stuffs...I won't recommend as a dine out place

This is one of the best outlets of Charcoal Eats in terms of ambience and service. The ambience is pretty good, simple and subtle. The dining area is very spacious and the seating is quite comfortable. They have outdoor seating as well. The outlet is run by Mrs. Sheetal who was very helpful. The service over here is pretty good. Our table was hosted by Mr. Atul who was very friendly. You don't have to wait for too long to get your stuff. We Ordered : Desserts : Chocolate mousse Salted caramel mousse Strawberry souffle The 'Chocolate mousse' tasted really good. For a chocolate based dessert, it was not too sweet and not too bitter, the taste was perfect. The other desserts were alright. Drinks : Citrus green ice tea Classic lemon ice tea Classic peach ice tea Honey mint ice tea The drinks menu really needs improvement. Some of them taste alright and there's not much to choose from. I liked 'Classic peach ice tea', it had an amazing aftertaste. Starters : Signature seekh kebab Classic chicken tikka Chicken galouti kebab Aloo ghee roast The Starters were amazing! The 'signature seekh kebab' is one of the best dishes I've had in a while. It looks so good and tastes amazing. The kebabs are served with a dip which makes them so delectable. It's a must try! If you're a meat lover, you should order this. The 'chicken galouti kebab' was very flavourful. It was a little goey and soft, but it tasted good. 'Aloo Ghee roast' was the only Vegetarian dish we ordered and it had an amazing taste. The patties were so crispy and delicious. It's a must try. The 'Classic Chicken tikka' had an amazing taste. The chicken was so soft and juicy. It was marinated really well. The spices used, made it extremely flavourful. The quantity is pretty okay, but the quality is amazing. All the starters were good. Biryani : Chicken Awadhi Chicken classic Hyderabadi Chicken makhani Charcoal eats is known for their biryanis. They've got a pretty good variety of Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian Biryanis on their menu. 'Chicken Awadhi' : Not bad, but I'd prefer the other biryanis over this. 'Chicken classic Hyderabad' : Better than the awadhi biryani. Quite a unique taste. 'Chicken Makhani' : Best of the lot. Really good taste. The masala makes it heavenly! Overall, it a pretty good place. The outlet management and service is top class. The place is handled really well. But Charcoal eats needs to work on their drinks and a few of their desserts. If I were to rate this outlet on account of Ambience and service, it deserves a five on five. But when it comes to the overall experience which includes food of course, I think there are a few things here and there that can be improved.

Ambience: Cafe is decent with good amount of tables to be occupied. Food: Chicken malai tikka: The chicken malai had this amazing marinated sauce all over it which made it tasteful till the end of the bite. Tandoori fries were loaded with mayo tandoori spices and garlic which added zesty touch to it. Chocolate mousse: This could have been better. Biryani had the right combination of spices which made each rice grain tasty and the chicken used in it was well marinated and cooked. Classic peach ice tea: Packaged drink, so don't expect it to be awesome. This was okayish in taste. Overall ratings: 4/5

The service of this place is very quick. Our host, Ms. Sheetal was welcoming and affable. The ambiance of this place is pretty decent. The food speaks volumes for this eatery and thus the ambiance can be ignored. The Biryanis are prepared fresh and served with great affection. Not only the Biryanis but even some of the starters are amazing at this place. We ordered the following dishes: Starters: Signature Chicken Seekh Kebab Classic Chicken Tikka Chicken Galouti Kebab Aloo Ghee Roast The 'Aloo Ghee Roast' has to be the best among the lot closely followed by the 'Seekh Kebab' and then the 'Chicken Tikka'. The 'Galouti Kebabs' were good too but then the others were better. The chicken is well marinated and cooked and were really juicy! Biryanis: Chicken Awadhi Chicken Classic Hyderabadi Chicken Makhani Chicken Tikka All the Biryanis in the menu are available both in veg and non-veg. As mentioned above the Biryanis are prepared fresh. The best of the lot has to be the 'Chicken Tikka Biryani'. The Biryanis have amazing flavors. They had adequate amount of chicken. The quantity can be increased a bit but other than that issues. Drinks: Citrus Green Ice Tea Classic Lemon Ice Tea Classic Peach Ice Tea Honey Mint Ice Tea Few drinks need to be worked upon. The 'Classic Peach Ice Tea' proved to be better than the rest. Desserts: Chocolate Mousse Salted Caramel Mousse Strawberry Souffle The 'Chocolate Mousse' was really amazing and I loved it. Overall it's a great place to taste some amazing Biryanis and some great kebabs. A must try if you want to enjoy some lipsmacking biryanis with your loved ones.

The awesome people @charcoaleats invited me over to try their grub. And oh boy I loved the food. Amazing and charming staff. I had the Peri Peri Chicken Pizza square? and their loaded seekh kebab french fries?, the mutton biryani, kulcha with chicken keema and the salted caramel mousse. The pizza had a puff pastry base , which was something really unique and might I add yum❤️?. The biryani had succulent mutton pieces and the chicken keema was spicy and chatakdaar. And the loaded fries with seekh kebab and the barbeque sauce was to die for and something that you should DEFINITELY try here .

Food Quality: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Ambience : 4/5 Location: 3/5 Value for Money: 1/5 Taste is not that great and quantity is very less. They do have 2 categories light eater and heavy eater for Biryani and both have very less quantity compared to prices. Service is average, staff is good. Ambience is the only good part of this place.
