had two experiences here so far.
The first time, it was a busy time the food was very slow and the ordering process felt quite chaotic. Everyone in the restaurant got a bit frustrated.
The second time, I went during a quiet time. the food came out quickly, but the drink was forgotten. I went back to the counter and provided my order number, but communication was difficult. I explained it to one staff member who then turned to ask someone else, and I was eventually told that the food would be ready soon even though the food had already been served and I was waiting for the drink. 😓I had to clarify again that I was asking about the drink.
Overall, both visits suggest there are ongoing issues with order management and communication. I’m still giving five stars as there is a restroom here which is pretty clean and the staff attitude was generally fine, and I don’t usually leave low ratings.

What’s to say? It’s an El Jannah. If you haven’t tried it you know what I mean. If you haven’t you simply MUST! Some of the nicest chicken available and their pickles!🤤🤤
Go there. Now. Open until 11pm so good for a late dinner or an after drinks feed (it’s just up the road a couple of hundred metres from the Earlwood Hotel).

Food is really good, I don't think I have ever have or will complain about the quality of food. However, over the years, the prices have sky rocketed making it on the more expensive side for charcoal chicken.
