Recommended chinese restaurant in Edgware

“Mmmm shashlik! Tender, spicy but not hot spicy......make your mouth water spicy. Charcoal chicken wings. Not the skinny flappy bit but,the shoulder and bicep. A tiny sprinkle of fresh lemon juice drizzled into the munchable, tender chicken. The starter dip things.... FANTASTIC Turkish naan. Light and fluffy with a good outside crunch, dipped into fresh proper humus. A garlicy yoghurt dip thing. Grilled onion quarters in a pomegranate sauce. A fresh and tangy salad with tomatoes, cos lettuce, cucumber, onion. Often Turkish salads that I've had have just been sprinkled with vinegar which, can make them slightly bland. Not so Charcoal's salad dressing. Imagine a charcoaled meat selection served on a bed of rice with a chips border and a sort of thin, round flatbread covering to keep the aroma and heat contained. Lamb shish in very small,succulent cubes on wooden skewers. The charcoal chicken wings, shashlik, thin strips of doner.thick, tender lamb chunks. Add a glass of Turkish red wine (or three). Maybe some Turkish tea with something sweet for those of us who like the slightest perspiration invoked by overeating. Yes, they do takeaway. Yes they have all sorts of fizzy drinks. But, they are not your usual Turkish takeaway. This place is well worth a sit-down for an hour or so and serious, professional eating. Opposite Lidl so maybe, if you do some shopping in Lidl - you could park there. Personally, I think it's worth taking the Northern line and walking from Edgware statation. A couple of outside tables for those that need a quick cigarette or an afternoon cup of coffee and a baklava. I was introduced by a friend who is Turkish and himself a retired restaurateur. In the 20 plus years I have known him - he has always steered me to places that are good quality and not overpriced. This isn't a place with fancy carpets and bow tie waiters. It's like a mum n dad place who care and concentrate on flavour.”

“No doubt the best in the area. Visit today , love the Munch box spot on. highly recommended.”

“Food very good. We believe his large ribs are tyrannosaurus. So big and good. Prices excellent. Open for lunch as well. 12 to 2pm not open Tuesday. Order food go for a pint. Or phone ahead. Place needs a revamp. Mr Wing gets focused on cooking. He will come to counter if you cough, shout or talk a lot.”

“Best oyster omelet I've had since Shilin Night Market in Taipei. Beef Bao was also excellent.”

“Absolutely loved the food, it’s fresh, delicious and made from your choice of vegetables. Masala chips is addictive!!! Service was great and all round brilliant experience, thank you Veggie Wok team!”

“A very authentic hk style restaurant! The 燒味飯is really nice! Especially the 燒鵝髀, just add 50p to change into the leg part, a very fair deal! 叉燒is a bit too dry and hard but acceptable, just can’t get 半肥瘦叉燒in uk anyway. The milk tea is very nice, the 紅豆冰is fine. Their bakery and pastry are also nice and fair price, much cheaper than China town.”

“Very pleasant dining experience. Ambiance was good. Not noisy at all. Staff are well presented, attentive but not too pushy. Food was delicious and plentyful. Prices are reasonable. All in all a very pleasant evening out. Highly recommended.”
