Charcoal Aroma

Charcoal Aroma has a seemingly endless menu of kebabs, curries, pizza, burgers and chips. We’ve done takeaway here once (vegetable and mushroom pakoras, chips with cheese and donner meat) but tonight we opted to dine in. They have a cozy dining room next door to their takeaway counter in the entrance.
We started with a shared order of mushroom pakora. They are whole mushrooms battered with gram flour and deep fried. They are really nice, and you get a pretty large order (about 10 pieces.) I had the mixed kebab, which was four meats on a plate with salad and naan (I got regular but there’s also a large plate if you’re starving) and my companion ordered a vegetable curry with spinach, mushroom and garlic.
Our food arrived and boy was it spicy! My meat plate was lovely, and I enjoyed getting to sample four different things (I really liked one of the chicken preparations, though I’m not sure which was which!) My partner’s curry was in a pretty large bowl — you can order rice separately, but I gave him my naan so that sorted the carb issue. We ended up ordering mango lassis to help take the edge off the spiciness.
This place does solid food at a good value. Take cash, they do not accept credit cards. We’ll be back!
