Review Charcoal Chicken - Gisborne

Edited on 15 December 2023: Now the place is called Mediterranean Kitchen and Grill, which suits this place ten times better, since their Four Season pizza is one of the best items in the list. ( My new favourite in town.) A few days ago I did an Ashtanga (mysore) class at Kiri Yoga, and I was very hungry and I wanted to eat something keto friendly. I tried their chicken which is really cooked on a charcoal grill. It was delicious and didn’t make me feel as if I was eating fast food. I talked to the guys there a little bit. So, they have a real chef, and he’s been in Gisborne since June. I was told that its his own dough recipe and that I should try the pizza next time. Today, I ordered it with Uber Eats. I’m glad I did. Four Season, lots of flavours, it doesn’t have that canned tomato taste. Just enough spice, not heavy or oily. Perfect. Both the chicken and the pizza are very reasonably priced. (Around $25) If they had fancier tables, plates etc with these foods, this place would be a five star Mediterranean restaurant.

The food was bomb af! Generous portions of deliciousness. Thankyou.

got Charcoal Chicken satay with rise. For 13$ it was a really nice big amount and with a juicy meat. Tasted healthy and felt good having this meal! We would give 8/10 rate. One of the best places in Gisborne. Definitely recommended and thanks! We will be back!

You have to try the Sesame chicken salad, and the ribs. OMG delicious.

Excellent service, the burgers were on point and so was the chicken. Thank you kindly and like "Arnie" said, I'll be back..

Amazing place new Owners and New Flavours Pastas, Pizzas ,Lamb Ribs ,Lamb Shanks,Burgers And More!!! If ur hungry this is the place. Turkish owner and Jordanian chef's 👨‍🍳

Their chicken and chips is good. The chicken is tender and crispy, I order it with grated cheese on top or cheese sauce on the side. It's my go-to dish. Also, Fetuccine and cheesy garlic pizza is a good combo!

Great amount of good for a cheap price we got large chicken, chips and gravy and fed two of us for $18.50 😎

If you haven't been since the new owners, I'd highly recommend it! Great price, great food. We will be back

Love the food here, my brothers can cook! Everything is nice. My favourite is the pizzas.

Delicious food and good choice. Highly recommend to go there. Staff is lovely and chatty. Guys are doing great job. But be careful portions are big. So think twice before ordering.

They have new owners but I would say the food is way better. It’s a different but better taste to the old charcoal chicken. Their fettuccine pasta is to die for. 10/10 would recommend.

The food is so wonderful I loved the Pizza and the Chips it was such nice meal

Favorite was the fettuccine and the lamb ribs with chips. Friendly service. Will be back

New owners were kind and pleasant, menu is different but had the chicken burgers and chips inhouse. Nice meal good service.

Always love talking with the owners - they take a personal interest in their regulars and often remember their order even if it's been weeks/months. They do some inspired salads but I can't go past their rib gravy on chips!

best chicken (and lamb ribs) in town. Friendly service, and fast.
