Coal Lounge and Gril

The food was outstanding! Service was very friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. Everything is made fresh so it takes time, but it is worth the wait! Atmosphere is very cozy offering a unique dining experience with comfortable couches and coffee tables. Great to sit back and relax with a nice bottle of wine (they’re BYOB). Will definitely be back!

Great vibe, great food, great people. Comfortable dining atmosphere with a menu focused on the tastes of Ghana. Try the yam fries, soup of the day (it was spicy pepper during our visit) kebabs, heck try it all or as much as you can. We (4 of us) shared starters, small plates and entrees to try the options. The server was friendly and helpful, and the owners engaging (and also a great chef)

The food from Ghana was fabulous and the service was great! We had a wonderful experience with a group of 4 friends.

Started off good. Love the set up and atmosphere/music. Food prices were good as well. We were told the entire place was glutten free and it was not so we did have someone with an allergy that caught a reaction. :(

My Aunt and I had an amazing experience at Coal. Very friendly staff and excellent food. I’ll definitely be back.

Great place in the valley , played Afro beat music while I ate delicious grilled wings and plaintains. Need better online promotion though .. and get a sign for the building out front .

Ghanaian inspired grilled suya skewers--both the lamb and the chicken--were terrific; lovely warm relaxing vibe with couches and low tables and calm afro-beat tunes. Could use a few more menu options, which would definitely keep us coming back more often. And marketing: should get on Yelp and similar. Place this good deserves to be more crowded.

Great new spot! Casual BYOB lounge with great food! Minimal menu but everything we got as solid. The chicken khebabs were spicy but amazing. Perfectly cooked. Oddly it was dead at like 8pm on a Saturday, more people need to know about this hidden gem! They could use a more prominent sign so they could catch some more foot traffic.

What a gem! This place is a great space and has fantastic food. It’s a very relaxed lounge vibe. The seating is community seating, there are no high back chairs, only high back couches, and it makes for a very comfortable vibe. The food has a lot of flavor and can be customized to your taste. It’s a smaller menu and they make everything to absolute perfection! The chef comes out and talks to you and it’s an amazing experience. For the ladies: I wore black pants and a denim shirt with sandals and felt that I was dressed appropriately. I would say jeans and casual dresses are perfect for this vibe. I would say this is not a place for sweatpants.

A great BYOB place that is a nice change from the main street restaurants. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and delicious, and the plantains made for a great appetizer.

This is a welcome addition with great, unique food in Downtown Bethlehem! The owner/chef came to greet us and tell us about the street food in Ghana that the menu is emulating. The grilled vegetables were a standout, with a flavor of smokiness I hadn't had before. The mixed grill with chicken, lamb and beef was a good way to try a few kebabs, and the indomie with shrimp was awesome. Plenty of other dishes we'll be back to try, as well!

Great food, tasty.... the fried rice was great. One man show. Great service.... amazing.

Absolutely my favorite spot to chill back and enjoy delicious food! Owners are such sweet people! Everyone needs to go try it out!

When my group arrived we were immediately seated and taken care of. Chef Kofi visited out table and made sure everything was up to his standards. Highly recommend if you've never tasted West African food. Its DELICIOUS

Chicken and waffles! Try em
