“We opened Mayuri in 2021 and learned this town one table at a time. Charcoal N Chill is what we wished existed late at night: a real kitchen, great hookah and a room that feels like a party you were invited to.” (Roshelle Merandez-Karthik, Co-founder, Charcoal N Chill)

“A great night here is when the table orders Lamb Chops, someone tries a Smoke Runner for the first time, and nobody checks the time until we start stacking chairs.” (Roshelle Merandez-Karthik, Co-founder, Charcoal N Chill)

“Our regulars don’t look like one crowd, and that’s the point. The music changes from one night to the next, and so does the room. Everyone over 21 has a seat here.” (Roshelle Merandez-Karthik, Co-founder, Charcoal N Chill)
