Try Blueberry. For a cooler, less-sweet option, ask for the blueberry mint shisha; one reviewer found it smooth and balanced.

2

Customise Salad. Ask for fattoush without onion if needed; a reviewer says the kitchen prepared it that way on request.

The Bottom Line

Charcoal Garden is a grill restaurant and shisha lounge in Dubai Internet City, with a menu that leans towards Turkish and Middle Eastern favourites. The reviews repeatedly point to grilled meats, especially shish tawook, kebabs and marinated chicken, while fattoush, kunafa and brownie desserts also get specific mentions. It is a useful choice when dinner and a long shisha session are part of the same plan.

The shisha is one of the clearest draws. Customers describe sessions as smooth, flavourful and long-lasting, with a broad choice of flavours; blueberry mint is singled out for being cool and not overly sweet. The venue also has big screens for football, interactive tables with games, and music quiet enough for normal conversation.

That combination makes it work for a friends’ evening rather than a quick meal. Service is generally described as attentive, friendly and quick, and the atmosphere ranges from a cosy garden feel to a livelier sports-bar buzz. The restaurant is reported as open 24/7.

One practical caution: construction made it somewhat hard to find for a visitor, and one customer found the chicken grill too salty, so consider asking about seasoning if you are sensitive to salt.
