“ We have been ordering from here at least 1x per week this summer. The food is excellent and fresh! My family loves it. *There are not many vegetarian items* ”
“ Portuguese train station cafe. Their empanadas are my favorite. They're also on Too Good to Go ”
“ What a great dinner! On this rainy summer night, it was so pleasant and peaceful (ironic for being next to train tracks, right?) to sit outside and have a great meal. The service was so nice! So sweet and gave us the perfect amount of attention. We are so pleased with this place. ”
“ I don't what to rave about first... the amazing food, the ridiculous quality of portions, the friendly and welcoming owners/staff... so I'll rave about them all! A take out dinner will easily serve as leftovers for days to come... the Chicken is fall off the bone juicy & flavorful. The veggies wonderfully crisp with a tang! -A perfect compliment to the mountain of rice that accompanies each platter. I've eaten here just a handful of times and each time I don't know why we waited so long to come back. Keep up the fantastic business! ”
“ Charkoal Portuguese Grill is conveniently located at the Berkley Heights train station. This first visit for takeout proved to be really good experience. I ordered the Garlic Shrimp, which came with Rice & French Fries. The rice tasted freshly made and was plentiful; the Garlic Shrimp was well seasoned and the aroma alone made me eager to taste. Once I got home with my order I couldn't wait to dive in. The food was still hot and ready for me to devour. I enjoyed the meal immensely, but could have done without the fries because as always, when fries are covered in an aluminum pan, they lose their crispness; other than that, everything was great; I will most definitely go back & try other menu items. ”
“ We found charkoal Portuguese and had their food last nite. Small gem in Berkley heights. We ordered the kale soup, fish soup, grilled steak, fried fish sandwich and cod special. The portions were v generous and the food was delicious. Have plenty of LO's for today. And oh the bread was real fresh Portuguese rolls which was sooo good. We topped it off w flan n tiramisu. Oh my they were so good. Thank you Andre for a delicious dinner. We will be back again to try other items on ur the menu. ”
“ Last year, someone on our town forum threw down the gauntlet. He defied anyone to find a better dish in Berkeley Heights than the Picadinho served at Charkoal. My wife and I like a challenge so we quickly placed a take out order. We had previously only ordered ribs and chicken from Charkoal believing the gold standard for Picadinho could be found at Clark BBQ. The result? The Picadinho is very much worth the hype. No dried out cubes of meat here. A beautiful stew of meat and potatoes, add shrimp if you like. Intensely flavorful and although a tad on the salty side, you should definitely get yourself some if you are in the area. Is it the best dish in Berkeley Heights? Drunken Noodles from Proud Thai, a Pastrami sandwich from Goodman's, Yellow Curry from Hop Hing, the Short Ribs at Strega? Let's just say it's up there. Go and enjoy. ”
