Eat In. Have charcoal dishes on the spot where possible; one reviewer specifically felt grills travel less well for delivery.
Check Doneness. Check grilled chicken before settling in, since multiple reviews report uncooked, watery portions.
Try Pepper. Pepper charcoal chicken is one of the more consistently named choices; one detailed visit found it tender with crisp skin.
Ask About Sides. Confirm whether hummus and khubz are included, as one customer was charged extra for both.
Choose Outdoors. If the compact interior feels crowded, ask for outdoor seating; reviewers mention pleasant lighting and a comfortable arrangement.
Allow Time. For delivery, allow extra time or choose collection instead, given a report of a two-hour wait on a short drive.
Plan the visit
Multiple customers reported grilled chicken arriving uncooked and watery, so doneness is a serious quality concern.
Reviews also describe charcoal as burnt, flavourless, or poorly cooked, suggesting uneven execution between visits.
Indoor seating is limited, with reviews describing the restaurant as tiny or having only four to five tables.
Hummus and khubz are charged separately according to one review, and that customer found the hummus tasted container-made.
Delivery feedback includes a two-hour wait for a ten-minute drive and food arriving cold.
These are customer-reported mentions, not a current price list. Prices may have changed.
Full Pepper Grill
“[[ I ordered a Full Pepper Grill (AED42) with complementary soup”Google review · June 2021
The Bottom Line
Grills Corner Restaurant is a small Al Qusais eatery where the main draw is charcoal cooking. Reviews most often point to Chicken Pepper Charcoal, green-chilli charcoal chicken, mutton soup and grilled burgers. A detailed visit found the pepper chicken tender with crisp skin, while another called the mutton soup the star of dinner.
The restaurant also serves broader comfort-food options such as butter chicken and mutton khadai. The setting is compact but not without charm. Indoor seating has been described as just four or five tables, while the outdoor area gets praise for its lighting and comfortable arrangement.
Parking was reported in front of the shop and in adjacent areas. Service is often described as quick and friendly, though experiences are not completely consistent. Quality deserves attention.
Several delivery customers received chicken that was uncooked and watery, and other reviews mention burnt charcoal, salty fish and poor shawarma. Delivery has also produced a reported two-hour wait, so dining in may be the safer way to judge the grills. Ask about side charges: one reviewer said hummus and khubz cost extra.
Prices are generally viewed as reasonable; one review listed a Full Pepper Grill at AED 42, while a poratta omelette sandwich was reported at AED 6/- but considered under-filled for the price.
