What User likes about Charcoal Rooster:
None of that bread and a little bit of filling. This is a lot of filling as well as fine bread. The guy here is Turkish. He knows his stuff. The mushroom pizza is the best in Canberra. Take it home, sit back, eat it and be grateful for your life View all feedback.

The hot chips with chicken salt are the best in town! I always go here to fulfil my hot chips cravings! The potato scallops are also pretty good.

We have been enjoying fabulous Turkish pide from this unassuming little takeaway for years. The pide is consistently good and freshly made.

I've been coming to the charcoal rooster since 2003, and can say without a doubt, their Kimali (minced lamb) and Mantarli (mushroom and olives) pides are the be...

Tasty chicken burgers! Standard hamburgers are awful taste like black and gold frozen patties and the buns are a bit dry. Owner is very friendly but hired staff...
