The girl at counter was exceptional with her customer service but the chicken was bit dry and the tables were not cleaned and bit dirty. Overall good experience.

A couple days ago, I entered this great store.
The door swung open and a wave of warm, greasy air rushed over me, thick with the mouth-watering smell of freshly fried chicken and the constant crackle of oil working behind the counter. Trays clattered, people chatted impatiently in line, and the glowing menu boards cast a yellow light over the crowded shop as the scent of spices and hot chips filled every corner of the room. Through the noise and the smell of sizzling chicken, my eyes locked straight onto Taim.
This great fella instantly attracted me, his great service, his indulgences with other coworkers, and his expert cashier skills. I hope he doesn't go through with Simone though, as i hope one day we could be boyfriend and boyfriend.
Overall, althought I met the love of my life Taim, the service was the best, the chicken was the tastiest, and the heart warming souls of L'Janeh were exqusite.

I went with my family of 6 or 7 people and I had an absolutely marvelous experience at El Jannah! From the moment I walked in, the aroma of perfectly seasoned charcoal chicken and fresh sides hit me, and I knew I was in for a treat. Every bite was packed with flavor the chicken was juicy, crispy on the outside, and the garlic sauce was next-level delicious. The sides, especially the hummus and crispy chips, were spot-on and paired perfectly with the main.
I also want to give a huge shoutout to Taim. He went above and beyond to make the experience seamless and friendly. From recommending the perfect combo to making sure my order was spot-on, he was genuinely awesome and made the visit even better.
If you’re looking for incredible food and service with a welcoming vibe, El Jannah is hands-down the place to go. Highly recommend!

My experience at Eljannah was quite disappointing. The food was cold when I received it, and the wait time at the drive through was much longer than expected. I was genuinely frustrated by the delay. However, one of the workers, Taim, was very apologetic throughout and assured me that such delays wouldn’t happen again if I returned. While I’m not very pleased with the overall experience, I appreciate the staff’s effort and professionalism. The workers were genuinely good, even if the service fell short this time.
