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 toum (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 toum (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.

Honestly no matter how many times I eat it.. it slaps everytime.. if you have the garlic dip with the chicken it's elite but don't expecting to be kissing anyone that day 😅

Used to eat at the Punchbowl store back in my days. Chicken was ABSOLUTELY tender, meat was falling off the bones. Maryland pieces were extremely tender, which was a surprise. Garlic was good as usual. They also threw in extra pickled vegetables which was a delight.
From Punchbowl to Penrith, ElJannahs never lets me down.
