Visited after lockdown and impressed, charcoal have best hygiene in city.. staff and service is very good and taste!! Amazing.. they have variety of dishes and all are best in taste.. and what a amazing view of pichola... and if u are a non vegetarian then this place is heaven for you..
must try:- chipotle and cake in cup
The best tacos I have ever had ❤️. Excellent rooftop view.
Perfect sunset view and ambience. Awesome dishes served on expected time. And the owner of the place were too polite and cooperative. The staff was cooperative as we were little confused about what to order but they explained about the dishes and we were pleased to eat what they offered us... Especially loved the Chicken Chipotle and Chicken Taco.
Excellent food please try their western offerings, in traditional Rajasthani dishes please try Lal maas and safed Maas. The owners bring a personal touch in their interactions which make the experience even better. Best part is the view of dazzling lake Pichola in the evening when the reflections from the surroundings make it a dream come true. A perfect place for a candle light romantic dinner.
The ambience is perfect and so is the food quality and portion.Zomato Gold cannot be used on their Barbeque Items and a couple of other things.However it is worth a visit.Best is to go post sun down.
Went to get some relaxation as they offer one of the best if not the best Ambience in town. Loved the view, service is quick. Ordered Pot of Masala tea alongside Grilled Sandwich and waffles. Food was nice. Basically it's known for their Barbeque food which I will try for next time definitely.
Awesome restaurant, staff over here is very nice.decoration, food and scenic view is truly admiring. They made my parent's anniversary memorable. Thanks to the restaurant for everything. We are very glad with the service and food. I will recommend this place to everyone. #bestrestaurant#udaipurdiaries#love#thanks
We ordered Pork tacos, Lal Maas and Dal bati Churma. Pork tacos were fine, Lal Maas and Dal Bati was very good. Nice ambience. Service was very slow. Took them one hour to serve us pork tacos. Overall a decent place.
Pretty good service. Great ambience with a decent crowd and good food, friendly staff................
Amazing top to view the whole city by the lake. Loved its cake in a cup. The rates were economical and the taste was yumm. Most importantly the paneer chipotle, more than amazing. It was something different i had ever tasted. A must visit place in the lakecity.
Visited Charcoal by carlsson on our trip to udaipur, i should say, they serve some unique dishes with distinct taste. Surely a must visit when around.
Chicken chipotle tikka & tacos is what we had! Total yumyum 😁
One of the best rooftops and most authentic grill and kababs. Zabardast good nad great views. Arabic food was sensational as well. A bit expensive but quite worth the price. You will enjoy this!
Terrific food, great views, cool vibe. Have loved every visit to this rooftop gem. Getting here takes effort - elderly people, please be aware it is a fair climb up. But, it is worth it! Their mezze platter, the olive naan, tandoori kebabs - all top notch! Add to it the ambience and views and you have a winner. Consistently excellent!
A candle light dinner with barbecue !
What could be better.
Not having the Paneer Hawai would be a crime.
Special mention for the amazing dips and desserts.
We loved the ambience, service and in principle the hospitality. The Cheese garlic naan is too good and worth mentioning. Food is average however could be much better. The team out there takes good care and even bought us shawls went the temperature dipped in the night. Must visit for the ambience.
Was on a short vacay to Udaipur and this place was suggested by a friend.
It has a lovely setting overlooking the lake and the palaces, with delicious food and drink.
However, reaching the restaurant can be a little hard especially for someone new to the City ; We had worked up quite an appetite with all the walking that we did !
Service was good and the Manager was very courteous and ensures that all the guests are being looked after. Offered us blankets which was a welcome relief for us ,who were not used to the nippy weather.
Overall, had a relaxed , enjoyable and comforting dinner experience.
Highly recommend it 👍
Cheers to the Team !
I went to this place for an afternoon lunch and had chicken skewers which was quite amazing. Although there weren't any tandoor options available as the restaurant doesn't serve tandoor items during the day. You'd have to climb up many stairs to reach on the roof top. But it was worth it because the food was so good.
I love this place . Excellent food with excellent view. If i could wish i would dine there the entire day. Keep it up team charcoal. Will visit soon again.
The place is on the teracce of the hotel..u ll need to take the stairs to the 4th floor but this is all..the food is awesome.
we ordered safed maas which was melting..it was so soft and amazingly good
desert:cake in the cup ...this is to be the most awesome desert
This place is was suggested by a local friend and turned out to be a place one should must visit when in Udaipur.
The food is good, including both veg and non veg. They make small customization to orders on your suggestions. They almost daily change the today's special and it's good to taste those. Be it barbeque or continental food, everything is nice.
Service is fast and prompt. Except the fact that few things take time to cook, overall it's a place to visit.
It has a nice ambience, overlooking the lake palace and other beauties of the city.
Cost wise it's not that tight on the pocket and a good place to hangout with family and friends.
Only negative thing about this place is, it has a very small seating capacity and in the noon time you can't go because they don't have any curtains or blinds to save you from the scorching heat.
Fabulous sitting arrangement and very welcoming host.
Definitely try the paneer malai tikka!!
Peaceful and serene view of lake pichhola and city palace.
The lamb skewers (2) and tomato skewer provided by this dish are very delicious. They're served with the in-house made tzatziki sauce, which is quite very good! Also provided a flatbread to eat the meat and tomatoes with - along with some nice hot sauce that they make in house. I asked for something hotter...it still wasn't as hot as I'd like, but it was very delicious.
The impact of the Greeks on Udaipur is evident in much of the city - including the architecture. Several restaurants offer Greek dishes.
Absolutely fabulous service by the staff here!!! This is another rooftop restaurant here in Udaipur, so providing some wonderful views of the lake and surrounding city.
Would definitely visit again!!!
The grilled food here is amazing and grilled recipes are a must. The sitting area faces the Lake Pichola as well as Lake Fatehsagar, so needless to say, view is superb. Though it's not very spacious. Service is pretty quick and thus it's a must visit for any grilled food lover. Cheers! :)
great food and ambience! try and go in the evening and watch the sunset the view is great! We had the tacos and chicken skewers. Nice selection of cocktails too!
A great place to have your dinner with a beautiful view of lake pichola and the other side of old city. Amazing ambiance where you can have candle light dinner. Food is very delicious unlike other old city cafes/restaurants.
Although, the order taker is not knowledgeable here, he asks everything to the manager/owner about each and every food item. A little improvement will save the time of the customers.
The place definitely provides a soothing ambience. Situated approximately between Jagdish Mandir and Gangaur Ghat in Udaipur, the restaurant serves veg and non veg delicacies in Indian and Continental cuisines. The view from the top is serene and will surely calm your nerves. A glass of beer with fries are a delight. The Rajasthani gatte ki sabzi can be tried here along with missi roti. Prompt service adds to their positives. I'm going to rate it 4/5 for the ambience. It is an absolute delight.
The food was authentic and flavour rich. Try the hawai panner if you are a veggie. The most important thing was the view of the restaurant. Sangria wasn’t what we call a real sangria, apart from this, it a must go place.
There's a good ambience and the view is great. The service is quite slow. There's no elevator and you have to climb four stories to get to the restaurant.
They have good tandoor and barbeque food items. The tacos weren't good and the food isn't authentic. However, I think that this is a decent option in Udaipur.
The pork souvialki was good, though not like a souvialki. The veg tacos weren't good. The chicken and paneer Chipotle kebab was decent but didn't have a lot of Chipotle. French fries didn't have salt.

Great service and food at great price. Must visit restaurant. We have ordered chicken tandoori which was very tasty and spicy. Also we have ordered paneer butter masala which was so buttery delicious.
View is amazing from charcoal. Food is also good but bit expensive. Service is lil slow. Dessert is just mind blowing must try cake in a cup good option for meat craving in udaipur
Just wao, the best food in entire Udaipur trust me. Rest all are just for the name, they are actually cooking and serving. I had chicken Chipotle, one amazing variety and the biryani, I can't tell how good it was. I was genuinely craving for actual good food in Udaipur since a while and finally I thought to try this place and it stood true to every penny. Loved every bit of food, view, and of course the service, he was just too warm. Definitely recommended to all nonveg lovers for sure.
The prime location n serving are amazing without saying.The service is good suntil it's nearly 10pm or rush otherwise clumsy.Yeah the bar menu is amazing and food menu has also a good peak into dishes .The veg food is comparatively to be preferred over nonveg especially laal Maas which is just overhyped.Romantic dinner is what you should look for here
Ambience was very good. Specially at night with little fog and slight breeze.. Food was delicious and worth spending every single rupees from my pocket. Try Keema baati, falafal and chicken Chipotle..all these dishes we had in our dinner and it was perfect for four of us. Must visit...

Had a wonderful time in Charcoal with my family from France. They have a fantastic rooftop with a view on both the city palace and the lake which is ideal to admire the sunset.
The restaurant is small and very cozy. We are an Indo/French couple and we loved the international ambience of Charcoal, indeed customers were from all over the world. You immediately feel comfortable.
About the food, their barbecue and sauces are spot on. Their mojito is delicious. I have kept the best for the end....do not miss their fantastic deserts! Cake in a cup is a chocolate fondant topped with an ice cream topped with caramel and they have some wonderful waffles! Since i live in India they are the BEST waffles I had!! Everything is fresh, homemade, tasty and you will leave this place satisfied and smily!
The son of the owner is very welcoming, happy to discuss with customers, exchange experiences and make sure everything is going well. You feel comfortable and just like at home.
I forgot to say that the service is prompt what is not usual in Udaipur!!
Thank you so much for the great dinners we had there. I absolutely enjoyed it and i recommend it blindly. This restaurant is definitely on my roadmap next time i am in Udaipur!
The restaurant needs to be clear when they are open and when they are shut .. perhaps the timings on zomato are wrong ! Great view from terrace though .. on the left you have Jagdish temple , right is your beautiful lake and right ahead is city palace ..and food is really awesome.
Would give a 5 if only i could give more!

Amazing place amazing hospitality!!
Quite popular restaurant in Udaipur. The view is really romantic and beautiful in the night. We ordered for Tacos, Chicken Biryani and Chicken Tikka. Everything tasted extremely delicious and a must visit for those who love flavors.
By far the best place for food, drinks and a good time in Udaipur. You pay for the view at most of the places in the older parts of Udaipur, however, this one excels in food as well. Been here a couple of times now and neither the food nor the view has been disappointing. The staff is helpful and friendly as well. Definitely recommend this one.
The ambiance is pleasant. Views are good and the cozy candlelight setting is a plus. The Hot Skewers were ok. The spicy Keema baati was delicious. Cake in a cup - yum. Didn't mind the SEB puri either.
I ate here twice and loved it both times. The menu has everything from Indian food to Mexican, Italian and Mediterranean. The prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend.
It is bit expensive for bagpackers. Great view and outstanding food. Ambience is Okay...! . Overall good experience. The dirty benches sucks there. Good for those who travel Udaipur first time.

During our 3 day stay in the lovely city of lakes we visited this place on the last night and was one of the most memorable one.
The resturant is tucked in the main bazaar in Chandpole area just a 5min walk from the famous Jagdish temple. The resturant is a roof top and you need to climb good 4floors to get to the place. Once up the view is mesmerising as you can see the City palace and the Lake Pichhola lit up during night time.
The resturant is dimly lit by candles and dim lights and light music plays in the background 🎶 which altogether makes the ambience quite romantic. There are wall hanging traditional cushioned seats and chairs.
Now coming to the food we had ordered paneer Satay which was a paneer skewers served with special peanut sauce with mild flavour of 🌴coconut and mild chilli 🌶 We also ordered Quesadilla which was filled with paneer corn and beans, they serve this with chipotle aioli and pico de gallo.
The paneer Satay had a nice texture and was grilled perfectly and had a good taste. Quesadilla was perfect too and mouthwatering. For desert we ordered cake in a cup as it was highly recommended and it turned out to be true.
I would definitely recommend this one if you are in Udaipur and want good food with great view.
Tip:- Go with prior booking as the resturant has a small sitting area and if you want a table with a view you need to book.
Came for the tacos and was not disappointed. Since part of my family are from Mexico I instantly reacted to the board outside the hotel where charcoal is situated. Tacos? In Udaipur? I was pleasantly surprised when the food came and I could see the hand made soft corn tortillas and not the poor American crunchy substitute (no, a crispy shell is not a taco) and even happier when I tasted the soft, tender slow cooked pork. They also managed to serve up decent margaritas! The Swedish (!) Chef told me they are working on a new menu with many more Mexican items. I really hope I some day can come back and see how they progress!
During 2nd day of our stay at Udaipur we had decided to have dinner at Charcoal as we wanted to taste some different . Reserved a table in advance to avoid last minute waiting.Restaurant is situated in Chandpole area,2 minute walking from Jagdish temple.Please keep in mind that its a roof top restaurant and you need to climb 4 floor.We arrived on time and our table was ready.Views from rooftop was great,you can have good view of lighted city palace and jagdish temple and also view of lake pichola.1st we ordered chicken chipotle and and oriental skewer with beer,both items were well prepared and taste good .After that ordered chicken mexican skewer and it was excellent,mango mayo served with was something new and tasted out of world.In desert orderd cup in cake,basicaly a brownie served with ice cream.Overall my experience as good,if someone wants to taste some different cuisine,specially barbeque/tandoor items that this place can definitely be visited.
This place was really good. We liked the tandoori chicken a lot and also had lamb with yogurt and coconut which was delicious. Pretty great views and chill ambiance
I'm one the regular customer of charcoal, I usually go here for dinner in weekends , Food is amazing they have maintained taste and quality . Pricing is very high.
Please try Mushrooms tikka and Lal Mans .
I used to be difficult with restaurants, but this one is really exceptionnal. We went there twice as it was sooooo goood....Tried the baba ganoush : the olive bread is a dream, tried a lot of different meats: skewers (satay is wonderful), stuffed chicken leg (with cashew and mince) was delicious, the cocktails are nice, the wine also, we tried one dessert : chocolate cake in a cup with caramel sauce : we still dream of it....
Lovely place...
Awesome ambience...
Nice people...
Delicious food........
If you around the corner do not miss visiting this place.....
Absolutely LOVED the place!
The food was really good and the service was also great!
Had Chicken Chipotle Tikka for starters. It was very well cooked and spiced!
Next, had Chicken Tinga Tacos. Lip-Smackingly Brilliant!!!
Had Cake in a Cup for dessert. Though I was full but I could easily have 2 of those!!! It was a fantastically made chocolate cake with Nutella filling and vanilla ice cream on top.
I would strongly suggest this place to anyone looking out to try something different. Would especially recommend this place to all the couples out there.
Just one thing though, call and reserve a balcony spot in advance cause that's where you get the view!
Also know as Charcoal by Pratap , we saw their display sign while roaming around the lalghat bylanes. It was also suggested by the host of our hotel. We decided to visit there for dinner. It is just 2 mins walk from the jagdish temple or lake palace. Mind you need to climb up 4 floor before you reach this rooftop restaurant. I would recommend you to corner seats which offer you great view of pichola lake.
We ordered skewers which came with 2 sticks of chicken and 3 sticks of paneer. While paneer wala excellent , chicken was bit to bland. We should stuck to their kebabs. But their delicious veg biryani made it up for the skewers. Biryani full of taste and freshly prepared.
Went there last year. Very beautiful view . We ordered vegetable grill platter. It was delicious and reasonably priced. I believe it was charcoal by pratap bhawan earlier.
Great vibes, great views, and incredible food. Also super great for those of us who are allergic to gluten and simply cannot find a break in very gluten free unfriendly udaipur. Love this place and have visited multiple times for a chill evening of delicious food, drinks and company. Highly recommend this place.
Very nice ambience and lovely view of Lake Pichola. The staff is very positive and the service is prompt. The choice of grilled food is wide and awesome. A lovely and sumptuous evening at "The Charcoal".
Vide variety available in the menu and it's speciality BARBEQUE is worth trying ,it's a 4 on 5. Nice ambience ,calm surrounding is what I loved the most.
I recently found this app while trying to find something different to eat in India after weeks of travelling. I love Indian food and this place surely delivers great Indian cosine, but what really caught my attention the first of our visits was the barbecue and tandoor. So far we have tried and loved the souvlaki, chicken roulade and the fantastic chicken chipotle tikka - a marriage made in heaven! Indian food dressed in Mexican flavours! Don't miss the delicious brownie, cake in a cup or the crispy round apple and caramel filled bites. Needless to say, we booked a table for tonight as well!

Candle light dinner , clear sky, lake view and quite place
Perfect place to talk and enjoy the evening ,
Loved the food and the ambience. Quite a climb to the restaurant but worth it. Good food, the view and hospitality takes it all. Thanks Henriech and Laura for keeping up the old school hospitality alive.
Charcoal is a great place to spend your evening when you’re in Udaipur. The beautiful surroundings of Lake Pichola and the vistas of the city skyline are complemented by delectable food. They claim to serve authentic Mexican cuisine; although I’m not well-versed in authentic Mexican food I can assure you that the food is very tasty! I’m already looking forward to my next visit to the place.
Me and my friend didn’t like spicy and this was the perfect place where to eat something not spicy and really good. We went twice because it was really good, the rest of the food, the location everything was really good, they are just a bit slow regarding the service but apparently it’s common in India. Anyway if you are tired of Indian food and you want to something normal or not this is the right place
We ate here for lunch and then again for dinner the same day and had a great experience both times. Extensive menu of bbq/tex-mex/indian dishes - we had the paneer bbq platter, pineapple and paneer skewer, hummus mezze starter and fish tacos and were impressed with all of them. Lovely outdoor seating overlooking the lake for the evening and great service.
Me and my family waited till they resume restaurant at 5pm.. worth the wait...
Ambience, food quality, taste and service all good...the owners are also friendly
Try visiting at sunset, views overlooking lake Pichola are beautiful
Both veg and non veg options available...we tried Laal Maas with rice and BBQ chicken wings tasted good
We shall visit again,
I can say the best evening of udaipur at Charcoal by Carlsson. Food was lip-smashing and the best part was information provided by owner Mr. Shakti singh and best service provided by Chandraprakash. The ambiance is amazing we saw the best part of udaipur from the Charcoal roof top. Really a heartwarming experience for us . Thank you Charcoal team 😊.
Decided to visit after ready all the amazing reviews and I got to confirm that Charcoal is the best place for bbq meat!
I went couple of times and tried the Lamb Souvlaki which is 10/10 and a lam curry too!
Cocktails are pretty nice too! And the hospitality of the staff is super special thanks to Sagar.
I also had the pleasure to meet Shakti, the owner, who is rightly very passionate and proud of his business.
I feel like recommending this place and I'll go back for sure!
I recently dined at charcoal and wanted to share my thoughts on the experience. The restaurant's atmosphere was inviting, with a modern yet cozy vibe. The service was attentive and friendly, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in.
The menu featured a diverse range of dishes, catering to various tastes. The appetizers were flavorful, and the main courses were well-prepared, though some portions were a bit on the smaller side. The highlight of the meal was the dessert – a delectable treat that left us craving more.
Overall, charcoal offers a pleasant dining experience with a few areas for improvement. With a little fine-tuning, it has the potential to become a top-notch establishment. I would recommend it to those looking for a cozy atmosphere and a diverse menu to explore.
Ridiculously amazing - as an Aussie this bbq stood up to my high standards then beat them. The view is 10/10 and the food is outstanding (we mainly ordered skewers) if you’re in to smoky, charcoal, spicy flavours from across the world.
5 on 5 for me.
Food was tremendous and reasonable.
Atmosphere was perfect with amazing view of pichola lake, went for IND vs NZ WC23.
Service was awesome and believe me the owner and his son were so down to earth people that they did not even showed us a little bit of attitude even in taking our order multiple times.
Fabulous experience @CHARCOAL.
Keep up the good work guys ❤️🍺
O my god this place is very nice . We just went casually but we had a best experience. We definitely give it more than 5 rating if we have a chance. The food is very delicious . I recommend to it to couples .the environment is too good. The servers are very friendly we became friends in just a time ....
I am a writer and if I do not write about Charcoal I'll be doomed! Here is why. I won't comment much about the food because the food is already impressive and on point, and people have said enough. Be it quality or quantity along with the beautiful, mesmerising night view, ohh! the restaurant in Udaipur is a must-visit. My overall visit to Udaipur wasn't so good, but Mr. Shakti the manager of Charcoal Restaurant was an angel. After dinner we were late to head back to our hotel and the autos were charging us over the top. Mr Shakti took us on his two wheeler dropped the two of us to a certain point and helped us get auto in the middle of the night. Kudos to such human beings. Give this man a raise 🥂 ! Thank you!
You have to be here once if you’re in Udaipur. You’ll love the atmosphere here. I loved their playlist - you can find it on YouTube music by their name. I must say the playlist and drinks together will make your day - cherry on top their food and staff is amazing. Try their chicken tangdi kebab you’ll love it. Also compared to other places here this restaurant has good variety at comparatively affordable rates.
We had gone for dinner.. very nice experience.. also lake view of pichola at night looks good from the restaurant.. food was amazing.. loved the taste.. definitely recommend to for maxican food..
A very good roof top restaurant with excellent view of ghats.
We went there for a lunch, their rooftop restaurant is on 4th floor and one has to take stairs which is bit difficult for aged people as stairs are also uneven. View from restaurant is awesome but restaurant itself is small and cannot cater more people. We ordered fish tikka, chicken biryani, aalu gobhi, fresh lime soda and tawa roti. Biryani was very spicy, fish tikka was fresh and nice. Aalu gobhi was not up to the mark.
Overall, good experience as view is nice.
One of the best places to enjoy roof top dinner in Udaipur.
