El Jannah Wollongong

You’ve found your way to El Jannah in Wollongong, huh? Smart choice. Wollongong’s a mix of beach vibes, laid-back locals, and a whole lot of heart. Whether you’re checking out the views from the famous Harbour or just cruising around the ‘Gong, we’re the spot for a feed that hits just right. Honestly, we’re surprised it’s taken us this long to set up shop here, but we’re not surprised that business is boomin’.

At El Jannah Wollongong, we’ve got the good stuff – that mouth-watering, perfectly cooked charcoal and fried chicken, rolls that burst with flavour, and sides that are fresh enough to make your tastebuds do a happy dance. We’re here to show you just how good chicken can be.

Swing by our Lebanese charcoal chicken shop in Wollongong, grab a bite and you can see for yourself what you’ve been missing out on. It’s your turn to see why we’re the local legend.

El Jannah Wollongong Opening Day

The wait is over, Wollongong, EJ has officially landed, and we brought the heat! Our opening day was nothing short of epic, with locals showing up in full force to get a taste of what we’re all about. The line was out the door, the charcoal pit was fired up, and the vibe was electric.

What Is Charcoal Chicken?

Our Lebanese charcoal chicken has been a game-changer in Australia since 1998. Cooked over open charcoal, it boasts an irresistible smoky flavour that keeps our fans coming back for more.

From our signature tawouk to our famous family feasts, every dish is a tribute to our Lebanese heritage. Slow-cooked, perfectly spiced, and served with our legendary garlic sauce – that’s the El Jannah way.

The Best Charcoal Chicken in Wollongong

No, we’re not just saying that, we really do have the tastiest charcoal chicken in Wollongong. We know our chicken is the best you’ll have – we spent nearly 30 years perfecting it, after all. Our food is uncomplicated (no, we’re not telling you our secrets), it’s just made the right way with real, fresh ingredients like the way we did back in Lebanon.

There’s nowhere else you’re going to get Lebanese-style chicken that’s as authentic and juicy as ours and once you taste it, you’ll know it too. Come on habibi, what are you waiting for?

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Wollongong So Crispy

Let’s get one thing straight – we don’t do soggy chicken. Yuck. Our fried chicken in Wollongong is a whole different level. It’s crispy, juicy, and downright addictive.

Every piece is hand-breaded. That’s right – no shortcuts here. We coat each tender piece in our secret blend of spices and seasoning, giving it a crunch that can only be described as legendary. Try it once, and you’ll understand why it’s become a fan favourite.

What a great new addition to Wollongong. El Jannah is a family favourite. Who doesn't love chicken and always cooked to perfection. The chips are amazing. Great atmosphere, open and airy inside. Dined in on Sunday it was lovely to see so many smiling faces from staff members. Keep up the great work.

Great atmosphere. Highly recommended

Opening day special was well considered
Kayahan Gunes
The fit out is amazing, food was fresh and tasty.

Only thing is that a hand wash basin nearby like some of their other stores have would be convenient. I heard others also saying the same, as the bathroom is about 50metres walk to the back.

Would re visit!
