Charcoal Grill

Chong

Hello Galway Posters,

I would just like to come on the Galway Board and sing the praises of this truly great Kebab place. I am from Limerick, and was in Galway for the weekend, which might I say was excellent, I love that city so much. The weekend was topped off with many visits to Charcoal Grill. I love this place's Doner Meat and Fries, its the best .

Until this weekend I didnt know there were two, I go to the one by Tir Na Og when I am in Galway.

Does anyone agree with me about C Grills greatness!!

Frankieboy

I'd have to agree with you as well. I could eat their mixed doners all night long. I go there when I can, which is not as much as I'd like.;)
Also for what you get, their not expensive.

Chong

Defo man, it was my first time in Galway in months, and my first port of call was C Grill.

There was nothing better than going back to my hotel in the early hours of Sunday morning after having a glut of Guiness ( Some of the best pints ever in Freeneys) and tucking into my doner meat and Fries. Heavenly!!!

Anima

Bring back the half pounder with cheese! What a beast of a burger.

Its really cheap as well compared to Supermacs or McD's and its infinitely better.

swalsh

best place ever, always go for a doner whenever i go out

cornbb

Charcoal Grill is yummy. Bested only by the Kebab place on Dominick St, and thats only cause its on my way home from town.

biko

I was actually gonna go in today but was swayed by a friend.
Love the place.

They still do half pounders? Half pounder + chips for 7.50 sitting down if I'm not mistaken

Unless they've taken it away in the last two weeks...don't say that..

Anima

Well I haven't seen them in the little fridges where they keep the burgers but maybe they keep them somewhere else. I doubt they get ordered that often

TEH REAL CDP

Was there last night, usually pay a visit after a bit of roisin. I remember when it used to be strawberry fields (old school). Great place for munch in the wee hours after copious amounts of alcohol, dancing and women.

I can see a "CHARCOAL GRILL APPRECIATION SOCIETY" being set up...with endorsements such as "I met my wife...in charcoal grill..."

The staff are dead on as well...always up for a laugh and know how to handle the crowd at that time of the morning.

Ate there sober once,didn't think much of it although when you have a few beers its good but so are most take aways.

ZorbaTehZ

Sober or with a few pints on, I love that place. Without doubt the best place to go in Galway after a night out though. Mixed kebab with everything on ftw, sooo good ...

compared to the kebab house the charcoal grills curry cheese chips are lacking, pity there's the distance between them as if i could i'd take a trip to both (that's the kind of logic i have after a night out)

You can't have two rival kebabbaries in close proximity, for the safety of society.

A friend of mine once inadvertently nearly started a nuclear war between two kebab shops in France by bringing his chips from the one that did good chips in to accompany his better kebab in the other place. I've seen more cordial neighbours in the Gaza strip.

You Suck!

Might I also add that comparing the charcoal grill to the kebab house is tantamount to comparing a fine bordillo in paris to a crack addicted whore called paris......FOR SHAME SIR!, FOR SHAME!

paulie.walnuts

that place is just an institution it's that simple! God I'd love a doner but a long way away

I used to go in there two or three times a week for the dinner, then usually after the pub aswell on my way home to Dun Aengus. The irish guy that was there was always sound, would have a quick chat when he could, but the turkish guys rarely acknowleged my presence, dispite my being in there probably eight times a week. The irish guy even told me once that the turkish dudes rarely talked to him either. I got talking to one guy once and ended up getting a flat for him, but soon after that he stopped talking to me again. One night i tried getting into a conversation with the guy who seems to be the main guy and asked if he'd teach me some turkish. He said sure, and rattled off something in turkish. I repeated it and asked what it meant, and he said "that means 'go **** yourself". I walked out on the spot. That was almost two years ago and i've not been back since.

Better off ,maybe they were trying to do you a favor," 2-3 times a week and after the pub,being in there eight times a week".They probably wanted to save you from having a heart attack.

Saucy Sultan, surely? On Abbeygate St, just across from Hades.

I've been there just the once and had a wholly satisfactory mixed doner that tasted good despite being sober.

Anima

Yeah went there once myself. Wasn't half bad at all.

All the various combinations and permutations of chip toppings is a wonderful thing and truly a sign of our advancement in civilisation.

Chips
Curry chip
Cheese chip
Garlic Chip
Garlic chip'n'cheese
Garlic'n'cheese chip
Curry cheese chip
Chili cheese chip
Garlic curry chili cheese chip
Large garlic curry chili cheese chip

and so forth.

I seem to remember vaguely they do wonderful things with stuffing and gravy on fries up the north, its been a while though...

Chicken fillet burger at the charcoal- so lovely! They marinate the chicken fillet then stick it on the grill, and serve it in the bun with loads of fresh salad- yummy!

JohnCleary

I can't wait for the 'Ive eaten too much takeaway, now i'm a fat bastard. What will I do?' Galway thread

nedward

Yeah, staff in Charcoal can be a bit unfriendly at times. Nice nosh though!

biko

Maybe they watched Soup Nazi from Seinfeld

leeroybrown

I'm definitely in agreement with Robbo on this one. The Salty Sultan is great - it tastes great drunk or sober and it's as close as I've come to feeling even remotely 'healthy' when having a donor kebab meal for diner.

JohnCleary

Ye're tempting me into gonig around to every one of these places and having a meal - that couldn't be good for the oul insides :eek:

To be fair they do well to keep their cool at all with the place rammed to the gills with drunken yahoos.:D

I'd call them polite more than unfriendly they don't really get into unnecessary conversations but still there not bastards. Personally I prefer it than fcukers behind counter who talk sh1te away to ya and then let your burger burn.

Yup, I prefer the Sultan to the Charcoal Grill as well. Kebabs are nicer, slightly larger, cheaper and the salad tends to be fresher, in my experience. Friendly guys too. Ye can't beat a chicken doner from the Sultan after a feed of pints in Sally's

Where's this Sultan place? Gonna have to give it a go

Dalfiatach

In between Java's and Sally Long's, across the road from CPs.

They are so good..best place to go after a night out...how sad I even know some of the workers by name....i need a life!

Ronanom

by far the best thing about the C Grill is the burger sauce...

Bass Cadet

No word of a lie....myself and a mate were tripping after a kebab in the charcoal grill a couple of years ago, as in LSD. We were tripping for at least 5 hours laughing our heads off, God honest truth, no other explanation other than it had something to do with the kebab. They dopped a few tabs in the sauce, magic!:D

Spiked kebabs, it's a serious problem. You turn your back when he's putting on the chilli sauce, they slip in a roofie and *BAM* you wake up with a sore arse and a taste of elephant leg in your mouth.

Never leave your kebab unattended.

Kebab wasn't left unattended. It was a straight-up, stumble-in, order some sort of kebab, out the door and 15 mins later, walls are suddenly the funniest thing I've ever seen. if it was just me on my own I'd probably have put it down to some weird flashback but since my mate was also off his head, it was 100% agreed that the Charcoal had given our kebab sauce an extra unexpected treat

To be fair, most of those types of drugs (lsd mushrooms etc) take a lot longer than 15 mins to act..

It shall from here on in be known as the Happy Turk. Or there'll be heck to pay at the beers!

Sound, see ya otuside Kebab house at around 2am tomorrow morning. I'll be the one with curry all over my hands and cheese dangling from my mouth

Everybody loves the Charcoal. I worked with a lad last Summer, the two fo us shared the passion for the Turkish institution. Anyways on his last night out in Galway before heading for Austrailia for a year, there was a going away party and of course ended up at the Grill. When we told the lads that he was leaving, they presented him with a kebab with Doner and Skish chicken on the house. A tear came to his eye...

Tar.Aldarion

It's only when I'm really really drunk that I end up there, pity. All I remember about it is drinking half a can of 7up I found and falling asleep.
