When you think of Indian food, what comes to mind? Curry powder, spices, and strong-smelling dishes? Well, many Indian dishes don't actually use curry powder, and the spices aren't always overpowering. Let's explore Indian cuisine at this restaurant:

Charcoal Tandoor Grill & Mixology

The restaurant informed us that none of their dishes contain curry powder as an ingredient.

This is because the restaurant specializes in North Indian cuisine.

The restaurant has a spacious and airy atmosphere, and the staff was incredibly attentive.

They seemed to recognize that we were new to Indian food.

They provided excellent recommendations and inquired about our preferences.

We were happy to report that we enjoyed everything we tried.

Remember to put on your bib before eating.

Here comes the first dish, which will be served to every table.

It's a crispy flatbread with a slightly salty flavor.

It comes with three dipping sauces: green mint, yellow mango, and red chili (not spicy).

Onions and lime are also provided as side dishes to accompany the meal.

Let's start with the first menu item.

PANEER TIKKA (330++)

This dish is grilled Indian cheese. The Paneer tastes similar to tofu, but it is richer, creamier, and slightly tangy.

The grilled cheese is infused with aromatic spices and has a mild spiciness. It is best enjoyed hot.

The choice of dipping sauce is a matter of personal preference, but mint sauce is a popular choice.

MURGH ANGAAR(400++)

This is a dish of chicken marinated in spices and then grilled. The dish is very fragrant with spices.

The chicken is quite tender and the spices are marinated to the inside.

It is recommended to order it with PANEER TIKKA, which goes well together.

When dining at an Indian restaurant, it is essential to try the curry dishes paired with flatbread and rice dishes like this.

MURGH YAKHNI BIRYANI (500++)

This is Indian rice baked in a clay pot with chicken. The long-grain Indian rice is baked with fragrant chicken.

This dish is perfect for those who love spices, as it uses a wide variety of them.

The aroma of the spices is quite strong and fragrant.

Personally, I love spices, so I especially like this dish.

DAL CHARCOAL (250++) with TURRAH NAAN (100++)

DAL is a special lentil curry recipe that has been simmered for 24 hours.

The naan bread is crispy and delicious when it comes out hot, and it becomes soft and chewy (but not too chewy) when left out.

It's a pleasure to chew on, and dipping it in the thick curry is a delight.

The four dishes are enough to fill you up, but there's always room for dessert.

KULFI (200++) is a homemade ice cream with a strong milk flavor and topped with almonds. It is served with vermicelli noodles that have a distinct smell of cat's milk and some kind of spice.

The aroma is so unique that you'll know it as soon as you taste it.

PHIRNI (200++) is an Indian-style pudding that is very rich in milk.

Topped with almonds and gold leaf, this dish is extremely milky and makes for a great palate cleanser.

For this meal, the drinks are Indian-style cocktails that focus on herbs.

MAHARAJA MAI TAI (300++)

This drink contains a lot of herbs, as well as orange juice, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice, which you can add to your liking.

MUFFETY MAI (300++)

This refreshing cocktail features a unique twist with the addition of Japanese cucumber.

The rim of the glass is coated with chat masala, an aromatic spice blend.

When sipped alongside the cocktail, it creates a delightful burst of flavor and freshness.

CHARCOAL MOJITO (300++)

This drink is packed with lime and topped with rock sugar. It's a real crowd-pleaser.

All three glasses are well-suited to complementing spicy meals.

As mentioned above, the shop's beverages mainly focus on herbs.
Let's take a quick look at what each cup will be like.
These are the various herbs that are ingredients in the drinks.

MAHARAJA MAI TAI (300++)

It contains approximately 2-3 types of herbs and other ingredients.

In addition, orange juice, roselle juice, and pineapple juice are also available for us to add separately according to our preferences.

MUFFETY MAI (300++)

This drink is unique as it includes Japanese cucumber as an ingredient.

The taste of this glass is dominated by the cucumber flavor, which is quite tart.

The rim of the glass is coated with chat masala, which adds a salty touch.

However, when you drink them together, they surprisingly complement each other well.

CHARCOAL MOJITO (300++)

This drink is packed with lime, making it incredibly refreshing.

The tartness from the numerous lime wedges, combined with the fizziness of soda and the fragrant lime zest, perfectly complements heavy meals.

Please translate the following sentence:

Each drink features a unique blend of herbs, vegetables, and fruits, setting it apart from other offerings.

While many of the drinks pique my curiosity, I decide to save them for another visit. Three drinks are sufficient for today.

For those seeking an authentic Indian culinary experience, I highly recommend Charcoal Tandoor Grill & Mixology. It will broaden your understanding of Indian cuisine.

The restaurant is located on the 5th floor of the Fraser Suites Hotel on Sukhumvit Soi 11.

Getting there is simple. Take the BTS Skytrain to Nana Station, exit 3, and then hop on a motorbike for 15 baht.

The restaurant opens at 6:00 PM.
