I have crossed this place multiple times, but never really tried until recently. And boy was I glad I did, in fact I was pleasantly surprised. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting to be blown away by their delicious food. Some of their dishes, are right up there in terms of best North Indian dishes available in Bangalore. The staff is quite helpful, though service is slightly slow, but that’s the price I’m ready to pay to get some delicious North Indian food. The following were the dishes that I tried:Dahi Kebab (9/10) – Threse are my favourite vegetarian kebabs, and this place didn’t disasppoint at all. It ticked all the boxes in terms of flavours and textures, and was so good that I didn’t leave any for my poor vegetarian friends. Loved how it just melted in the mouth leaving behind that tingling sweet and spicy feeling on the taste buds.Chicken Manchow Soup (8/10) – A decent version, slightly on the tangy side. It wasn’t as spicy as I expected it to be, and so people who like it less spicy can try this.Chicken Lemon Coriander Soup (8/10) – Not a light authentic version, but tasted decent nonetheless. It had a distinct flavour lemon that made it a bit tangy. Achari Karari Paneer (9/10) – While this did look enticing, I didn’t expect myself to love it so much. It was different than what other restaurants serve in multiple ways. First the coating didn’t go soft and they used papad crumbs to coat it rather than cornflour mix, as a result of which it remained crispy on the outside. Moreover, the inside had 2 paneer pieces with achaar masala sandwiched between them that hit the spot so very well. A must try for everyone especially the vegetarians.Sarson Chicken Tikka (8.5/10) – It had a really distinct flavour of mustard, and even though I am not a huge fan of mustard, I quite liked this dish. The chicken pieces were cooked nice and succulent, thus making for a nice and different option.Lahsooni Murgh Tikka (9/10) – I am a huge fan of garlic, and when you add generous amounts of it to succulent pieces of chicken, it is a sure shot winner. It had just a little bit of spice, thus even people who eat less spice can have it. Others can drown it in the spicy mint chutney and savour it!Al Faham Chicken (9/10) – One of the best Al Faham preparations I’ve tried in Bangalore. The chicken was nice and succulent, and quite meaty. It was rubbed with a nice spice mix with a good amount of black pepper thus packing a kick. This was was served with a garlic mayo dip and pita bread. An extremely delicious dish, definitely worth trying!Dal Bukhara (9.5/10) – An absolute favourite of all of us here, and not because of the richness of it, but because of how well it was cooked. You could taste the flavours of all the beautiful spices used, and how the dal had been cooked for so long. This made it naturally thick as a result of its own juices coming out rather than the need to put an exorbitant amount of cream.Lachha Parantha (9/10) – Again, made really well, fully out of wholewheat flour (atta), thus giving it that slight bite. But it was layered really well, and had just a little bit of salt. Could just have this and the dal, and enjoy the cozy comfort of my bed after it!Kesar Phirni (8.5/10) – A really nice and thick phirni, again cooked really well. The powdered rice were cooked perfectly well to swell up nicely with all the richness of the milk. It had just that little bit of kesar flavour, making it even more inviting.Gulab Jamun (8.5/10) – It could probably be a 9/10 but I am not a Gulab Jamun fan hence a little conservative rating. However, it was really soft, moist and served warm, which is all a good Gulab Jamun is about.Overall, couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon with all those amazing delicacies. I was glad that I listened to my friend and visited this place after months of ignoring it. Even their prices are not sky high, and the delicious food is worth every penny. Definitely coming back here for their Dal, Lachha Parantha and Al Faham Chicken. instagram.com
Le charcoal is the hidden gem in the heart of Brookfield area. This place is not much explored but will definitely be a must recommended place to try out some delicious and authentic tandoori and north indian dishes. Ambiance is very minimalistic and serves the purpose. Indoor and outdoor seating arrangements can easily accommodate around 30 people. Staff members were very courteous and respectful.Coming to food which were excellent and taste better that all other restaurants in the vicinity. Some of the dishes we had ordered and must recommended to try once you are here.Manchow Soup: soup was prepared well and definitely be the best thing to start. Served with crunchy fried noodles.Peshawari Paneer Tikka: paneer tikka was super delicious and is prepared with paneer, ground spices and fresh cream. This was exotic in taste, rich and creamy in texture and delicious to eat.Dahi ke kabab: Made with hung curd, paneer, flour and basic spice powders. They are super crisp outside and melted in mouth the moment you put it inside. Loved the taste and this is one of the best dahi kabab in the vicinity.Murgh Malai Marke: chicken pieces cooked in a creamy marinade with yoghurt, cheese, ginger, garlic and chilli. Tender boneless chicken pieces will simply melt in the mouth.Dragon Chicken: Indo chinese dish marinade with lots of spices and fried and sauteed in a spicy and tangy sauce which give extra flavour to its taste.Dal Bukhara: classic Punjabi style curry made from whole black urad dal which is creamy and melts in the mouth. This is one the best dal I have tried and taste. Must recommended to try once.Dal Bukhara is quite similar to the Dal Makhani, with a slight difference. It even looks quite similar to it, but taste is different because of different preparation. Thanks to Nadeem to explain the difference between both type of Dal.Tawa paneer khurchan: this paneer dish had mouth watering flavour and prepared with a combination of regular Indian spices and low fat cream; garnished with coriander leaves. This tasty dish has creamy texture and would definitely make you lick your fingers.Le Charcoal special chicken bharata: One the must try main course curry from their menu. Soft and succulent boneless chicken pieces cooked in spicy creamy gravy. It will satiate the taste buds of the non-veg lovers especially the chicken lovers.To end the meal they have a perfect combination of desserts. Kesariya phirni is a must try. It’s a delicious creamy dessert made with rice, milk, sugar and flavoured with cardamom, saffron. The addition of chopped almonds and pista make this a lip smacking dessert.Overall great budget friendly restaurant which will give you delicious and quality food as compared to other big names in this area. Perfect place to hang out with friends and families.
Recently visited Le Charcoal in Brookefield. It’s a small, quaint place that serves North Indian and Mughlai food. We were all vegetarians and were in a fix wondering if the veg food will be that good but trust me, it was delicious. The ambience could be a bit better but the outdoor seating was more bright and welcoming than the indoor one which was sombre. We started with the drinks- blue lady, kiwi sunrise, mango crunch, guava mojito and cold coffee. I felt that the mocktails were too sweet and had too much of soda which ruined the mouthfeel. This was the only disappointment in the entire meal. Everything else was lovely. In the starters we tried the dahi kebab, achari kharari paneer, cheese corn tikki and shabnam ke moti, The dahi kebabs were slightly sweet, soft and tender and tasted nice with the fresh green chutney. The achari kharari paneer had a crispy coating which included masala papad which was quite interesting. My favourite was the cheese corn tikki which had a crispy crust and when you cut into it, a soft centre. It was very flavourful and had the right textural balance as well. The shabnam ke moti consisted of mushroom heads stuffed with spiced paneer and grilled in a tandoor. The mushrooms were perfectly cooked and it’s a treat for any mushroom lover. For the main course we tried the bread basket, Peshawari paneer tikka masala, dal bukhara and malai kofta. The malai kofta had a very unique presentation, it was served like a cone. A little sweet but rich and comforting. The dal was hands down my favourite among everything. It was so creamy and buttery. The peshwari paneer tikka masala gravy was spiced properly and had a tangy kick which I liked. For desserts we tried the gulab jamun, gajar ka halwa and kesaria phirni with ice cream. All the desserts were good, not too sweet, just how I like it. Overall a lovely place, even for vegetarians. The North Indian food is delicious and the flavours are really good.
Le Charcoal is a casual dining restaurant in Brookfield, The place is easy to find as it is on the ITPL main road, one of the decent casual dining restaurants in the area. The ambience of the restaurant is very much inviting with semi-open air and outdoor open air seating. outdoor seating where you can watch the streets of the ITPL, ideal for enjoying some fresh air and sunshine while being shaded. Food menu is North Indian, Chinese and Mediterranean. we tried bunch of food from starters, main course to desserts. starters are amazing, we had corn cheese tikki, shabnab ke moti and peshwari paneer tikka. the presentation of malai kofta was really mesmerizing, loved the taste achari kharari paneer, the Indian breads and desserts were pretty decent. we had couple of mocktails to sip in between on our lunch and all the mocktails were very refreshing. Courteous and Friendly Staff, Prompt Service. the presentation was good, timely delivery of the food. foodrestorank.com
As a resident of Whitefield, Le Charcoal is a familiar name, I have been here several times, only for takeaways and most importantly their Biriyani & Chinese Fare. But recently I had a propah sit down lunch with a bunch of friends and I decided to try out their North Indian fare & give the Chinese and slightly Arabic influenced dishes, amiss. Started off with a delicious Achari Cheese Paneer Tikka, which had the saltiness from the cheese & a mild sourness from the achaar, in a subtle month so overpowering sort of Tandoori smokiness that made the dish enjoyable, without any one flavour overtaking another.The Shabnam Ke Moti, a Tandoori stuffed mushroom dish, that hit the spot with the beautifully cooked mushrooms without too much of a stuffy stuffing, just the right portion.The Mocktail that I tried, Mango Deluxe was overtly sweet, but the top layer was comparatively less sweet because of the raw mango flavour and I liked it.For mains we were recommended the Dal Bhukara, which I learnt was essentially a Dal Makhani with an addition of roasted plums added as garnish. Beautifully slow cooked Dal perfectly seasoned went perfectly with the Ghee Rice overloaded with cashews.The Peshawari Paneer Tikka Masala was delicious and was just right for a pairing with the Pudina Lacha Paratha.But I had a soft corner for Mushroom Mattar Hara Pyaaz, was just right in flavours for both rice & Rotis.Not a big dessert fan, however I absolutely could not get enough of the amazing Phirni this place serves, I just loved it,Overall a great place for some delicious North Indian fare that you must try, the place deserves a 5 star just for the Mushroom Peas Hara Pyaaz, Dal Bhukara & Phirni, absolutely decadent.
The good thing about this place is it is open till 1 am.Also the food tastes as per the name.i ordered Chinese chicken choupsey and it’s tasted really good.Egg burji and curry tasted awsome but the quantity is less as per the price.Phulkas are good by highly overpriced.One chicken roll costs 150.Apart from price this place is good
