Charcoal Grill

Charcoal Grill is a halal Turkish and Mediterranean takeaway that has established itself as a reliable spot on Loughton's lower High Road. The menu centres on charcoal-cooked meats: the house special brings together lamb shish, kofte, chicken shish, lamb doner, mushrooms, green peppers and onions, while the Halep kebab pairs doner meat with a yoghurt sauce for a satisfying twist on the classic. Lamb meat is sourced with quality in mind — a point customers consistently raise in reviews alongside the speed of service. Wraps, burgers, and pizzas round out a broad menu that suits everything from a quick lunch to a late-evening order. With around 1,800 customer ratings on Just Eat and a solid score of 5.2 out of 6, the kitchen's consistency is borne out in the numbers. Close to the Epping Forest fringe and a short walk from Loughton Underground station, it is a practical choice for the local commuter crowd.
