Through decades of cooking chicken on charcoal, we’ve perfected the process, delivering smoky, juicy, and authentic Lebanese, flame-grilled charcoal chicken that people across Australia can’t get enough of. Our on fire charcoal chicken is legendary for its taste and freshness, which is why our Charcoal Chicken Menu is so popular. Explore our range of charcoal chicken meals, and discover why so many people swear by us to solve their chicken cravings.

Fried Chicken

Boxes

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.

Burgers

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.

Tried El Jannah recently and it definitely lives up to the hype. The charcoal chicken was juicy with a great smoky flavour, and the garlic sauce is honestly the highlight—super creamy and addictive. The chips were fresh and perfectly salted, especially good dipped in the sauce. Service was quick and efficient, even though it was pretty busy. The place itself is more casual and can get crowded, so not ideal if you’re after a relaxed dine-in experience. Overall, great value for money and really satisfying food. I’ll definitely be back.

El Jannah St Albans is a decent spot if you’re craving charcoal chicken, but it doesn’t fully justify its price point. The food is solid, nothing amazing, but reliable and satisfying enough if you’re hungry. That said, it does feel a bit expensive for what you get compared to similar places. On the upside, the service is good.

Response from the owner:Hi Victor, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the delicious food, found value for money, and had a great experience with our atmosphere and customer service. Your feedback means a lot to us and motivates our team to continue delivering the best for our customers. We look forward to welcoming you back to El Jannah Chicken Norwest soon!

We loveee el Jannah, food and service is always good. Today, we had the best costumer service we’ve ever had at a drive thru. Jayden was not only polite, patient and kind… when asked for recommendations he gave us great suggestions and honestly his energy was refreshing, it is not usually we encounter people that genuinely care about giving customers an outstanding service and he absolutely DID.
