Charcoal Chicken - Pakistani & Indian Cuisine Chantilly

Chicken Biryani was absolutely amazing. Huge portion and very flavorful. The Mango Lassi was also delicious. The employees are very kind and treat you like family. My new favorite restaurant in Chantilly.

The food is pretty good. I liked the presentation, the flavors, the quality of the Lamb Karahi and Naan. Service was friendly, too! FOOD: Lamb Karahi was a bit pricy at $21, but also kind of normal these days, and like I said, it was quite tasty. The sauce was good, and the meat was tender, if not slightly dry. No rice was served, which I personally prefer, but I can see other customers getting uppity about not being given rice. I was a little disappointed by the heat level, but maybe my tolerance went up? I got the spiciest available. The Garlic Naan was a large portion cut into two pieces. Very good and doughy! $1.50 for a large piece, which was very awesome!! They didn't have any Sweet Lassi, only Mango flavored was offered on the menu. Still good! $4. ESTABLISHMENT: They had booths inside, which were busy when I arrived on a Wednesday evening, so I sat outside on the barebones patio tables (there are two). A simple white plastic plate was offered for dine-in, plus plastic utensils. Nothing fancy. They asked me to bring in my tray and plates after I was done, which I think was only because I was outside. They had staff bussing tables inside. The bathroom is located in the back and was basic and functional. There was water all over the floors, which I hope was mostly just them mopping recently. Overall, I enjoyed Charcoal Chicken's food and would go back. It was basic, but tasty. I could see it being a regular or go-to spot for people who live nearby. 3.5 out of 5 stars
