El Jannah Tuggerah Menu
Lunch just got legendary. Three fresh chicken rolls – charcoal tawouk or hand-crumbed crispy tenders – built to order in fresh Lebanese bread with our famous garlic sauce and whole food salads made fresh in the restaurant every day.
Real ingredients. Made the El Jannah way. Available every day from open until 4pm, in-restaurant and on the El Jannah app.
If you’re a charcoal chicken lover, then you’ve landed on the right page. 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.
Feast on our range of fried chicken at El Jannah. Enjoy our crispy Tenders and Mixed Pieces, cooked to perfection for that unbeatable crunch. Visit one of our charcoal chicken restaurants or order online today.
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.
Need something delicious you can eat on the go? Say no more, habibi. Our range of authentic Lebanese rolls will fill you up and keep you moving. From our delicious chicken rolls, including our legendary charcoal chicken roll, our tawouk roll, our vegetarian-friendly falafel roll, and our Aussie-inspired hot chip roll, we’ll fix your cravings so you can roll on to the rest of your day.
Try the New Sesame Pockets (Kaki) at El Jannah, a traditional Lebanese sesame bread perfect for a quick, tasty, and authentic Middle Eastern snack. Now available at all stores.
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.
El Jannah Tuggerah Opening Day
Tuggerah’s opening day was wonderful, filled with great music, epic vibes, and *GASP!* discounted chicken! We know you’re already feeling the FOMO, and we don’t blame you. The community really came out in full force. Thanks Tuggerah!
The Best Charcoal Chicken in Tuggerah
We never cut corners when it comes to charcoal chicken. You’re not going to get anything like it anywhere else in the whole Central Coast. It all starts with slow-grilling every chicken, just like we did back in Lebanon. Our authentic marinade brings it all together and no, we’re not telling you what’s in it. All you need to know is that it’s where our truly one-of-a-kind flavour comes from. Now, what are you waiting for again?
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Tuggerah So Crispy
If you fancy a change of pace, our fried chicken is as crispy as it is crunchy! Not to call anyone out, but who wants soggy and way-too-soft chicken that doesn’t have an epic crunch in the first bite? Our only secret here is that we hand-bread each piece and cook it ‘til it’s (literally) as good as gold. That’s not too much to ask, is it? Nah, we didn’t think so.
