AA Charcoal Grill

Very nice! Friendly staff and the displayed meats look inviting. good tastes and moderate prices. If it s a fast food this on of my first adresse!

Having never eatern here sobre, I can’t gurantee that my 5 stars will hold much weight. Every time I have eatern here though I’ve had a great meal. I always have the little scewers of real meat cooked on the grill — you can actually taste the meat! If I was ever going to have a kebab sobre it would be from here.

The AA Charcoal Grill is a decent enough kebab house and certainly does a lot of trade to students stumbling back from clubs in town.
I’ve never been the greatest kebab fan, but I have dropped in for a burger or chips from time to time when needing late night sustenance. The portions are pretty decent from what I see my mates tucking through and they are generous with the sauce.
It’s good that they cook their kebabs to order, but this can mean a bit of a wait if you drop by at the wrong time. The staff are also pretty cool and deal with their drunken clientele well.
The shop stays open well past 3am, so is a worthwhile port of call if you want something more than a packet of crisps to eat from an all night newsagent.

Damn you alcohol! Having heard that AA Charcoal Grill did the best burgers in all of Lewes Road and having left Concorde 2 with a particular hankering for some kind of foodie goodness, I decided to save my bus fare and walk home via AA. I soon grew impatient though, and ran most of the way there, picking up a couple of other late night stragglers who also said they were headed to the Holy Grail that is AA. Invigorated further, I quickened my step and left them whooping over my shoulder.
Bursting through the door, my eyes whipped up to the price board, past the kebabs and to the burgers, and down to the mushroom and cheese burger which sounded just original enough to warrant the £3 I whipped out for it. As it landed on the grill and I dropped my change into my pockets, I lowered my gaze and saw that AA does something a little special with its kebabs… Anyone familiar with souvlaki will know what I’m talking about… Basically, rather than having a hunk of meat rotating over a heat and having chunks lopped off of it every once in a while, fresh meat, peppers, onions and the like are skewered on a metal… er… skewer and cooked over a charcoal grill.
The results, are sublime… And although I resisted the urge to buy one to accompany my burger, it was only because I’d have had to find a cash point first. Next time I’m out late at night and on the prowl for munch, this’ll be my port of call, and if it lives up to my expectations, a 5^th* will be on the cards…

Specializing in Kebabs, AA Charcoal is a lean, mean, grilling machine, churning out quality Kebabs 7 days a week. They are very generous with their fillings and it requires a ballet dance to navigate your mouth around as it spills and escapes your jaws. I know Kebabs are awful and full of fat and grease but my metabilism allows me to laugh in the face of obesity and choesterol, bring me another Kebab! As well as the high brow Kebab range, they branch out to chicken, burgers and cakes. I’m a sucker for carbs.

Coming back to the Lewes Road, to take a look around and gather my pictures for Unilocal,I was happy to see on the door of AA Charcoal Grill, a license from the Council which granted them to stay open until 4 in the morning. This made me happy for the people at the shop, who will now surely have a huge surge in business, and it also made me happy for all the students who can now enjoy a kebab after coming out of a club.
AA Charcoal grill is not the best Kebab place in Brighton, but it’s O.K. The meat is alright, but it doesn’t have a really juicy and fresh taste to it, which Flame on the London Road does, but by no means is a Kebab here bad. I mean I bought many kebabs here last year when I lived pretty much right next to it, and I went back.
My advice would be to go for a mixed Kebab, of Chicken and Lamb, which will set you back about £5.80 and cram it full of all the salads, as well as extra jalapenos, which is sure to not leave you hungry.

My friends and I were a little drunk, and a little tired, on our way back from a nearby pub, and, in such a mood, we lacked the desire to cook our own food. Thus, we headed over to the Charcoal Grill, a takeaway I’d never had the pleasure of using previously, but which I’d heard good things about. Thankfully, the rumours were all true. We ordered some burgers and some fries, found the service to be very good, found the prices to be reasonable, and, most importantly, found the food to be very tasty.
