Local tip
Friday and Saturday hours extend to 2am, making Charcoal It an option for a late meal on Gold Coast Highway.

Charcoal It is a charcoal grill restaurant on Gold Coast Highway in Burleigh Heads, bringing together two distinct food traditions in one menu. Greek souvlaki and Arabic shawarma provide the central influences, with charcoal cooking adding a smoky character to the restaurant’s chicken and other menu components.

The menu is arranged around accessible formats including wraps, salads, bowls and platters. Wraps offer a straightforward individual meal, while bowls and salads provide lighter combinations built around the venue’s charcoal-focused cooking. Platters create a shared format for diners looking to order several elements for the table. The menu is also presented as a healthy option, with fresh salad-based choices sitting alongside grilled food.

Charcoal It’s setting is a shop at Shop 2/1726 Gold Coast Highway, making it a practical stop for a meal in Burleigh Heads. The style is centred on direct, generous food rather than an elaborate dining format. Its Greek and Arabic influences give the menu a clear identity, while the charcoal grill keeps the focus on cooked-to-order flavour and familiar street-food formats.

The restaurant suits diners seeking charcoal chicken, souvlaki or shawarma in a wrap, bowl, salad or platter. The range also works for different dining occasions, from an individual meal to a shared order. Catering is available for Gold Coast events, adding a way to order the venue’s food for gatherings beyond the restaurant itself.

Charcoal It serves the Burleigh Heads community from midday through the evening, with later trading on Friday and Saturday. That schedule gives the venue a place in the local dining mix for lunch, dinner and later meals. The menu’s combination of charcoal cooking, Greek souvlaki and Arabic shawarma makes it a focused choice for diners who enjoy grilled food with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.
