El Jannah Cranebrook 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.
The Best Charcoal Chicken in Cranebrook
Cranebrook, we brought the good stuff. After decades of charcoal chicken mastery, we’re finally serving up our signature recipe in your backyard, and trust us, you’ll taste the experience in every bite. From our traditional Lebanese marinade to the way we grill low and slow over real charcoal, this isn’t just dinner. It’s a flavour punch to the senses. Big call? Maybe. But once that chicken hits the table, even the picky eaters won’t argue.
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Cranebrook So Crispy
Sometimes, the answer to life’s problems is fried chicken. And when it comes to fried chicken, we’re the best at it. Sorry, but it’s true. We hand-bread every piece using a signature blend of herbs and spices, before frying the chook so it’s crunchy and crispy on the outside, and melt-in-your-mouth juicy on the inside. Every bite’s like a party in your mouth, without the next-day headache.

I came into El Jannah Cranebrook today feeling really down, but meeting Gurtesh completely turned my day around. From the moment he served us, he was welcoming, friendly, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. His positive attitude and warm personality made such a difference.
The food was fantastic, but Gurtesh’s customer service was what really stood out. He went above and beyond, and by the time we left, I was smiling again. If every staff member was like him, every visit would be exceptional. Thanks, Gurtesh, for your amazing service and for brightening my day—you’re an absolute legend!

We came for dinner tonight as we love EJ’s and wanted to see the new store. We were so warmly welcomed by the staff, particularly Gurtej and Ella. Ella took our order and was really so lovely and patient whilst we decided what we would order. The food was 10/10 as always and came out so fast. Throughout our dinner, Gurtej checked in to see if we needed anything on a few occasions. The dining space is very clean too.
We really enjoyed this experience and will certainly be back.

We visited El Jannah Cranebrook and the first thing that stood out was the exceptional service. Rozer greeted us warmly as soon as we arrived, took the time to help us without rushing, and treated us with genuine respect and kindness.
The food was 10/10 — absolutely delicious and fresh. We're so excited to finally have an El Jannah so close to home.
The atmosphere was also 10/10, with a warm, welcoming vibe and beautiful music that made the experience even more enjoyable.
Rozer, thank you so much for your outstanding service. You made our visit memorable, and we'll definitely be back!

Giving 4 stars because of food freshness otherwise the staff behind the counter was not very proficient. The serving girl Lily was polite and apologetic about the longer waiting and offered if anything complemantry can be provided. Due to already waiting for actual order didn't ask anything from the kitchen.
