The Best Charcoal Chicken in Woden

You read that right. I mean, really, why would we even claim it’s the best charcoal chicken in Woden if we didn’t actually know it was the best? It all starts with the traditional Lebanese marination. We’re talking juicy, high-quality chicken that’s been soaked in a perfect blend of spices, herbs, and a secret touch passed down through generations. Next is the slow-grill over the charcoal, we never just whack something on the grill for 20 minutes and call it a day. Sorry, habibi, we can’t share the actual deets, but we’re sure you’ll manage without them.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Woden So Crispy

Whether you’re searching for charcoal or fried chicken in Woden, El Jannah’s got the goods. Our fried chicken’s always crispy and crunchy, can you believe some places happily plate up soggy chicken? Meanwhile, we hand-bread every piece and cook it to perfection, giving it that signature flaky golden armour while still keeping it soft and tender on the inside. That’s just the EJ way. What more could you ask for?

Great charcoal chicken meals with delicious sides like fattoush. Portion sizes were very generous. The staff were very polite and catering. Very excited that there's this store on the south side.

My friends and I tried the burgers for lunch. The service was really fast even if there’s a lot going on. Loved the garlic grilled.

Now they’re opening one closer to me! Really love their roast chicken and salads too. Plus, it’s one of the halal restaurants here — adding another halal restaurant in the region 🤍
