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.

Crispy, flavour-packed fried chicken that hits the spot every time.
At El Jannah Smithfield, there’s no cutting corners. Every tender is fried to perfection so you can enjoy the crunch and juiciness you deserve. Soggy tenders? Not on our watch. We promise.

El Jannah can add more menu items with a focus on Lebanese culture, like camel burgers and beef burgers. For desserts, they should improve baklava by adding sugar syrup to make it sweeter and less dry, like traditional shops do. Also, include more Lebanese sweets like knafeh, maamoul, and basbousa to offer more variety and keep the authentic feel. This will attract customers who love genuine Lebanese flavors.

I had a fantastic experience at El Jannah Chicken. From the moment I walked in, the customer service stood out. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and very patient even though it was busy. They took the time to answer questions, made sure the order was correct, and served everything quickly without making you feel rushed.
The food was just as impressive. The chicken was perfectly cooked — juicy on the inside with that classic charcoal flavour and crispy skin. The garlic sauce was fresh and full of flavour, and the sides were generous and well prepared. The bread was warm and soft, and everything tasted fresh, not like it had been sitting around. Portions were great value for money too.
The restaurant itself was clean and organised, and you could see the team working hard to keep everything running smoothly even during peak time. It’s clear they care about both the quality of their food and their customers’ experience.
Overall, a really enjoyable visit. Great service, delicious food, and consistent quality, I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this location to anyone craving proper charcoal chicken.

I have a marketing strategy for El Jannah on how they could improve their kids’ meal by turning it into a “Go Bucket” with Ej bites and chips. It would be affordable, easy to eat on the go, and perfect for school kids. This would make the meal more fun and attract more students who want a quick, tasty snack. It’s a simple idea that could bring more young customers and make lunchtime easier.
