When you’re looking for a convenient way to get the full El Jannah experience, you can’t go past our famous meal boxes. We’ve designed a variety of El Jannah meal boxes to showcase everything we do, from our crispy fried chicken box to our tender, juicy charcoal chicken box. We pack the boxes full of flavour (we’re proud of our generous portions), so you can enjoy our legendary chicken any time, anywhere.
We’re big believers in the power of a legendary burger, which is why we’ve spent years perfecting a pair of chicken burgers so good, you’ll want to hard launch them on your Instagram. Just make sure you mute your most annoying family members before you do; we know how much they love to ask questions.
The freshness of our Crispy Chicken Burger speaks for itself, while its spicy sibling, the Grilled Chicken Burger, is renowned as one of the best chicken burgers in town. Treat yourself to one (or both), and get ready to fall in looooove.

Charcoal chicken without a fresh, traditional Lebanese salad, is like going to someone’s home without a gift. It just isn’t right. Our range of Lebanese salads, like our chicken salad, fattoush salad, and tabouli salad, are just as delicious as they are fun to say. Say fabulous fattoush six times fast, we dare you.
We heard your tummy start to rumble just then … which means it’s time to get the best charcoal chicken in town. But charcoal chicken without some seriously tasty sides is only half the fun — and we’ve got the best sides for chicken. We’re no one-trick ponies. Our signature sides and Lebanese dips range features bold flavours, with options like our universally beloved garlic sauce, crispy chips that’ll make your mouth water, and our hommous dip, which is so good, you’ll never want store bought again.
The Best Charcoal Chicken in Granville
If you know, you know. The OG flavour hit started right here on Railway Parade.
We slow-cook our charcoal chicken on open flames, locking in that smoky char that made Granville famous. Every bite hits with tenderness, texture, and that 30-year perfected flavour only the original El Jannah can deliver.
This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Granville. This is the charcoal chicken that put EJ on the map. Simple as that.
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Granville So Crispy
So, what makes El Jannah’s fried chicken in Granville the crispiest, juiciest, and most irresistible around? Want to know the secret? Well okay, but don’t tell anyone. The secret is … we … Cook it! Crazy right? No, really, hear us out for a sec. Too many chicken shops do a rush job when it comes to frying their chicken and then what you end up with is some oil-drenched, soggy sad excuse for a chicken tender. You’re coming home from the club and the only thing you want is something crunchy and that’s what you get? No. We won’t stand for it.
Here at El Jannah, we don’t do anything half-hearted. Each piece of chicken is carefully coated with our special blend of spices and hand-breaded to create that perfect crispy crunch that’s impossible to resist. There will be no tears over soggy tenders for you. We promise.
