About Charcoal House

Proper Syrian-style charcoal chicken hits the coals at Waterford West, charred over embers and served alongside velvety hummus and sharp garlic toum. Run by a welcoming family, the kitchen handles large group spreads with ease—turning out platters of halal whole chicken seasoned in garlic herbs, chilli lemon, or signature house spices. Skewers come off the grill tender and smoky, piled onto fresh Lebanese bread with crunchy pickles and hot chips.

  • House-Seasoned Charcoal Chicken: Whole birds grilled over charcoal with garlic herbs, chilli lemon, or house blend marinades.
  • Levantine Mezzes and Dips: Platters paired with velvety hummus, punchy toum garlic sauce, and warm Lebanese bread.
  • Group and Family Spreads: Quickly rearranged tables and generous mixed grill spreads easily accommodate family gatherings.

    Former Sydney locals find the elusive, authentic charcoal chicken quality and flavour they missed after relocating north.

    My wife and I have been looking for an authentic charcoal chicken place for months since we moved from Western Sydney. We ordered a family pack tonight and had to leave a review after eating. This is the best charcoal chicken we have ever eaten.

Before you head over

Practical advice on ordering, timing, and seating for your charcoal feast

  • Allow Time for Fresh Charcoal Grilling

    Charcoal-cooked fresh meats and generous family spreads take about 15 to 25 minutes to prepare from scratch, so expect made-to-order cook times rather than instant fast-food speed.

  • Pick Your Custom Marinade Flavour

    Whole and half chickens can be customized with distinct house marinades like garlic herbs, chilli lemon, or house blend seasoning alongside garlic dip.

  • Ask to Reconfigure Tables for Groups

    The dining room easily accommodates casual group drop-ins and post-event family dinners, with staff happy to push tables together to seat larger gatherings.
