Can't go wrong with El Jannah. The chicken and chips are just to die for. It's no coincidence that you never see it empty. Service is good and they have a good app as well for ordering ahead.

The charcoal chicken thighs with fattoush is a nice paleo/keto option.

Edit: So I recently paid them another visit, and the quality and flavour was improved by miles from my previous visit. The chicken was too good we left the wrap and dug into 2 whole chickens, the fries were another highlight, had the wrap next day all cold and it just melted with a fusion of flavors, can only imagine how good it's be fresh. Perhaps it was the overload of the opening day on my visit, complete 180 degree from the last visit. Can't even take a star down for not having a toilet.
The first star is deducted for not having a toilet, any restaurant with a dine in setup, without a toilet is a big disappointment, didn't even see a wash basin. The seating was quite compact too.
The food wasn't worth the hype, the fried chicken was on par with Kfc or kingsley (bland), the charcoal chicken was ok but not very flavorsome, the burger was tasty but could use some extra salad, the roll felt forgetful and the fries missed the mark. The best was the coleslaw and the gravy.
Certainly not trying to discredit them, the food was good but if u have been around, it's not going to interest you much. Given the hype and the long cue.

Great food. Great service. Food was delivered in 4 minutes!! Slight mix up with order, but it was remedied very quickly and apologetically. Will definitely be back!!
Shan Padarath
The food was delicious. Top* marks for the grilled chicken and burger. The restaurant was clean and well stocked, too. The let down was discovering an absence of hand washing stations and toilets in the restaurant. So, perhaps, consider bringing along a wet wipe or two.

I’m one happy customer. I made a complaint about the portion sizes reducing and I’m happy to report that it was addressed. Thank you for listening to your customers.

Always a great dining experience. Yes its fast, but my gosh is the charcoal chicken great. Always go home with leftovers.
Ash Tawfik
The grilled chicken is super juicy and tender as always. If the management's reading this, please bring back hummus with meat and suguq
Anwar Hassen
Most of the time the food is delicious, but occasionally it comes out a bit undercooked. The only downside is that there’s no hand wash available you have to use sanitizer instead.
