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.

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 Ballarat
Our legendary Ballarat charcoal chicken is the best in the area for a few simple reasons.
First, we never overcomplicate our recipes – El Jannah’s dishes instead focus on using real, high-quality ingredients. We also charcoal grill our food slowly, letting the chicken stay juicy and tender.
However, what really makes our chicken shop in Ballarat special is our traditional Lebanese marinade. This lets us bring out more vibrant flavours in every piece of chicken we cook, giving your tastebuds a real taste of Beirut.
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Ballarat So Crispy
Even without charcoaling, our Ballarat fried chicken is a true Lebanese delight.
From wings, to tenders, to burgers, to our classic EJ bites, every fried chicken dish we cook has a golden complexion that promises a perfect texture.
We hand-bread our chicken to give you a juicy – yet unmistakably crispy – crunch with every bite. When you’re after fried chicken in Ballarat, our crispy dishes are a treat for all five senses.

Been here a fair few times, always great service, always perfect food.
Waqas Ahmed
Drove from Geelong. Food was fresh and tasty.
Aqib Shabbir
After a long long time finally got what I have been looking for. I can't fault them anywhere. Great ambiance, nice seating and above of all, best food. Their chicken (both crispy and charcoal) is absolutely delicious. Hummus, garlic sauce, pickle, salad and literally everything was not only just delicious but quite a lot in serving.
Martin Quinn
Celebrated Father’s Day at El Jannah and the whole family left happy. The food was generous and full of flavor, especially the charcoal chicken, and the staff were attentive without being overbearing. It felt relaxed, enjoyable, and perfect for the occasion.

Visited El Jannah today and was blown away. The chicken was packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better.
Sajjad Ahmad
“An absolute culinary revelation!
This establishment is not merely a chicken shop — it is a sanctuary for the discerning palate. The chicken emerges from the kitchen with a symphony of flavors: impeccably seasoned, succulently tender, and imbued with that elusive harmony between crispness and juiciness.
The ambience is unpretentious yet welcoming, allowing the food itself to take center stage. The staff exude warmth and attentiveness, elevating the entire experience from a simple meal to a memorable occasion.
If gastronomy were poetry, this place would be its finest stanza. A triumphant testament to how even the humblest of dishes, when prepared with passion and precision, can transcend the ordinary and touch the extraordinary.”
