Charcoal Town Hookah and Shawarma

This place is obviously more famous for the hookah bar and the music, which btw are amazing. However me and my friends ended up here late in the night and we only wanted to eat. The food was fantastic!! The falafel platter was super fresh and delicious. The fries were perfect and even the salad tasted amazing. Highly recommend this place!

This place is amazing! The environment is great. There is a cozy feeling, definitely a place where you can enjoy delicious food and smoke hookah. The chicken Shawarma is fantastic, the chicken is soft and very well seasoned. The fatoush is delicious too and let's not forget the cheesy delicious mozzarella sticks. I will definitely keep coming back to this place. I am so glad I found a great restaurant and a cool place to hang out at the same time.

Another good Hookah & dinner place! Chicken Shawarma had an excellent char on it, and the Steak Shawarma was well marinated, though it could have used some extra seasoning. The Falafel had an intoxicating sent and a fantastic texture and flavor.

Good vibes, music and food. Hookah price is a bit high but overall prices are not too bad. I recommend that the owner gets Youtube subscription to avoid the youtube ads popping during music playing.

We had a great time so far, I loved their Steak shawarma, the chicken shawarma was not as what my wife expected it to be, it just needs more Spices. Friendly staff and great service.

Such a great date night/hang out spot! The outdoor seating area is tented and they have 3 or 4 private fire pits that is perfect for the cold weather. We got there around 8 and beat the crowd so we got first pick of where we wanted to sit. It started getting busy around 9 so we were so happy that we were able to get the corner fire pit with the cozy loveseat:) We got the Moroccan tea, latte, oreo cheesecake and pineapple hookah- you can get a cute little tea set if you want to have your own tea pot, the latte was good and stayed nice and warm from sitting on the firepit counter, the cheesecake kinda tasted like freezerburn but my boyfriend enjoyed it (I'm a little pickier when it comes to food) and the pineapple hit super smooth and looked really fancy 😁 Overall, great experience and would definitely come again!

I had a strange experience on a Wednesday night. Mostly empty place so I expected quick service but it took 30 minutes for our drinks and 45 minutes for shawarma and hookah. The waitress was a bit rude. Everything was expensive and that’s ok because it’s Georgetown but I expected the ambiance to match the prices and it didn’t. I felt the atmosphere was cheap and run down. They didn’t even have a central music system. We had to ask to connect to a portable speaker to play music and when one speaker died they brought out another one. (Resourceful but odd for a DC hookah place) We had to play our own music because the place didn’t have any! Very odd. The seating wasn’t great either, the decor looked cheap. However I’m giving 3 stars because the food and hookah were good. I might return here on a weekend to see if the vibe is better but a rum and coke being $10 is outrageous.

Food is good. Cozy place but unfortunately dishonest practice of double tipping ( I thought this was a honest mistake until I read few other reviews here). My bill was 47 dollars and she scroll past all screens when I gave my card and presented signing screen. After bill is paid she just walked away. I called her back and asked for receipt. OnceI got that I see there it was 74.xx with 18 percent service tax on it. when I asked for paper copy she printed . Once I started asking questions she seem confused to explain me.Another person walked in and told me it’s tax. When I told him it’s no tax he changed the tune and I said I added 20 percent tip. I said , I did plan to give 20 percent tip but since they added service fee it doubles and twine she gave me the square device it didn’t show me the typical tip screen as waiter already scrolled past it and presented it to me the sign screen. Anyway after few back and forth , they did give 12 dollars back in cash.,overall, 10-15 dollars is no big deal but the way they did it feels dishonest to me. Hope I am wrong and your bill comes out right. Food is good. Just double check your final pay.
