The Best Charcoal Chicken in Box Hill

Great charcoal chicken takes time – and we don’t rush it.

This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Box Hill – it’s charcoal chicken done properly.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Box Hill So Crispy

When it comes to fried chicken, texture is everything.

Each piece is hand-breaded using our signature blend of herbs and spices, then fried to golden perfection. The result? A crispy outer crunch with juicy, flavour-packed chicken inside — exactly what you want from a proper feed.

Great asian guy at the front served me so professionally and nicely. Suggested me to come before 8pm on all days to avoid any dry chicken as they stop making batches at certain points of the day.

First time customer of el jannah, Food was absolutely fantastic, chips a bit overcooked for my liking. The young lady and gentleman working were nothing but extremely pleasant and professional. Will definitely be back.

First time having dinner here and it's absolutely wonderful to see another halal restaurant here in Box Hill! Food was great! We ordered the mixed chicken meal with a soft drink can, an extra chilli sauce and some baklava. Our order arrived after a short amount of time. The portions were big and we had enough to take home after our meal. Both the charcoal and fried chicken were perfectly crispy and not overly greasy. The coleslaw is probably the best we've had from a franchise here in Melbourne. Gravy was buttery and complemented the dishes well. Fries were also well seasoned and crispy. Both garlic and chilli sauces added a nice dash of flavour. Definitely recommend El Jannah Box Hill to everyone! The atmosphere is clean, inviting and well managed. Will be back often and wishing this restaurant all the best!

Great dinner at El Jannah! The burger meals are top-tier—juicy chicken, perfectly seasoned chips, and you can't skip the garlic sauce. Quick service and awesome food. Highly recommend if you want a solid, satisfying meal

Food has been delicious every time. The tenders were insanely good and the gravy that came with them, delicious. Chips are some of my favourite I've had. I've also had the roast chicken and that is juicy and great flavour

Chicken was great and not dry. The service was also great. The restaurant is very spacious and clean. Update:the service has dropped since opening. Don't put QR codes on the table if you don't plan on using them. A staff member barely explaining the reason while walking away is also not great.

El Jannah popping up everywhere. This one seems quieter which is good for service but not good for Franchisee. It's in a poor spot near a busy intersection with very limited parking available.

My first time trying El Jannah charcoal chicken and I really enjoyed the flavours! I had the quarter chicken deluxe which came with chips, garlic sauce, pickled veggies and a drink. Good value for $15.95 😋 Newly opened location at Box Hill.

El Jannah Box Hill was an amazing experience from start to finish. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The chicken was juicy with that delicious smoky taste, and the garlic sauce was honestly next level. The chips were crispy, and everything came out hot and well presented. What made the visit even better was the excellent service from Dwo. She was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was spot on. Her positive attitude and great customer service made us feel valued and added so much to the overall experience. It’s not often you come across service this genuine and professional. Big thanks to Dwo and the team at El Jannah Box Hill definitely coming back again.

My favourite is opening here!! And I finally got both chicken breast and leg pieces, which I prefer, from this branch (unlike the other branches). Most importantly, it tastes just as good.

The new Box Hill store is a cut above my experiences with the Hawthorn and Mitcham locations. They're off to a very good start here, got the $5 quarter chicken special on opening day and the chicken and chips were hot fresh and tasty, garlic sauce was great as always. A very good feed for $5 let alone the usual price. Look forward to coming back!

Amazing food and staff, especially the customer service from Ines. I couldn't find a table for myself due to high volume of people but she arranged one for me when she saw me waiting. Great quality of chicken as well, fries were a bit soggy but overall, loved it.
