Ashburton, you’re up. And trust us, your dinner plans are about to improve dramatically.

El Jannah Ashburton is open, bringing our legendary Lebanese charcoal chicken to Melbourne’s inner south-east. Whether you’re planning to dine in, grab a quick takeaway after work, or line up delivery for a cosy night at home, charcoal chicken in Ashburton is about to hit a whole new level. The grills are fired up. The toum (garlic sauce) is ready. All that’s missing is you.

The Best Charcoal Chicken in Ashburton

Great charcoal chicken takes time. We slow-cook every piece over open flames to lock in flavour, seal in juiciness, and create that unmistakable smoky char.
It’s a recipe perfected over decades and soon, it’ll be right here in Ashburton. One bite and you’ll understand why El Jannah has become a household name.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Ashburton So Crispy

When it comes to fried chicken, crunch matters. That’s why every piece is hand-breaded using our signature blend of herbs and spices before being fried to golden perfection.
The result? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavour in every bite. If you’re after something different, take a walk on the fried side – Ashburton style.

This was a random adventure to get charcoal chicken but this turned out to be so much more. Chicken taste amazing. And all the sides you get really elevates this place above your usual chicken shop. I enjoy the seasoning which I guess is a little Mediterranean.

Really good food and quick service! I dined in and the restaurant was really clean and tidy. I ordered the quarter chicken deluxe meal and everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken was fresh and juicy, the chips were nice and crispy, and the staff were really friendly. Food came out quickly too. Really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back again!
