Our crispy, golden-fried chicken paired with hot, seasoned chips and our famed creamy garlic sauce. It’s a trio of textures and flavours — crunchy chicken, fragrant chicken-salted chips, and a rich garlic dip — that elevates the classic chicken-and-chips pairing with a distinctive Lebanese-Australian twist

A generous serve of hot, golden chips – crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside – paired with El Jannah’s famous charcoal chicken and fresh tabouli.

We serve our famous charcoal chicken fresh off the grill — juicy, tender, and bursting with smoky flavour — alongside our vibrant tabouli, crisp pickles, golden-seasoned chips, and a generous side of our legendary garlic sauce. This plate is a true taste of El Jannah: rich, fresh, tangy, and unforgettable.

We take pride in our legendary charcoal chicken — marinated in our secret blend of herbs and spices, then flame-grilled over hot charcoal until the skin is perfectly crisp and the meat is juicy, smoky, and tender all the way through. Served with our iconic creamy garlic sauce, this is the dish that put us on the map back in 1998.

We serve our legendary charcoal chicken fresh off the grill - smoky, tender, and packed with flavour - alongside a feast of fresh tabouli, crunchy pickles, golden-seasoned chips, and our vibrant fattoush salad. Then we crown it all with a generous pour of the garlic sauce everyone loves. Because when it comes to our garlic sauce… you can never have too much.

This is how we celebrate - four whole charcoal chickens, marinated in our secret spices and grilled to smoky perfection, served with mountains of golden chips, fresh zesty tabouli, crisp Lebanese pickles, and tubs (yes, tubs) of our famous garlic sauce. This is not just a meal - it’s a table-filling feast made for family, friends, and even that one person who swears they’re “not that hungry” but still ends up going back for seconds.

We have taken our classic creamy hommous and levelled it up—now it’s a Loaded Hommous, complete with hearty toppings that transform it from a simple dip into a full-on meal

We don’t do small spreads - we go all in. This table is a celebration of everything we love: juicy charcoal chicken, crispy fried chicken, golden chips, and a line-up of fresh, flavour-packed sides. We’ve got tabouli, coleslaw, fattoush, pickles, and all the sauces you could want — garlic, sweet n spicy, and more. It’s the kind of feast that brings people together, where everyone’s reaching in and no one’s holding back. This is how we do it at El Jannah.

We serve our popcorn-style fried chicken bites golden, crispy, and bursting with flavour. Perfectly paired with our legendary garlic sauce for dipping — because at El Jannah, there’s never too much garlic.

We’ve piled it all on - charcoal chicken, fried chicken, golden chips, fresh tabouli, crunchy coleslaw, and tangy pickles (mixed pink and green). Now it’s time to do it the proper way: digging in with your hands, savouring every smoky, crispy, fresh, and tangy bite exactly how it’s meant to be eaten. Garlic sauce on the side? Absolutely - because at El Jannah, there’s never too much.

Yes, we’ve heard the call — rolls are the new obsession, and we’re taking it all the way. Using fresh, soft Lebanese bread, we stuff it with everything that makes El Jannah legendary: charcoal chicken, pickles, tabouli, coleslaw, hommous, chips, and of course, our famous garlic sauce. Every bite is bursting with all the flavours you love — smoky, tangy, fresh, creamy, crispy — perfectly balanced in one hand-held feast.

Why choose when you can have both? We pack juicy charcoal chicken and crispy fried chicken into soft Lebanese bread, and of course, smother it in our legendary garlic sauce. It’s the ultimate trio — smoky, crunchy, creamy - a roll that surprises you in every bite. Why Charcoal? Charcoal chicken is healthy, comforting, and clean - the best you can get. But we know some people just can’t live without fried, so we give you both. It’s the perfect balance of indulgence and goodness.
