Restaurant Address

For El Jannah Box Hill, parking is generally convenient since it’s located on Station Street with several options nearby. ### Where to park * On-street / nearby parking (main option) * Metered and unrestricted street parking along Station Street and surrounding streets (Nelson Road, Whitehorse Road, Carrington Road). * Most spots are 2-hour zones during the day; check signage for restrictions. * Very short walk to El Jannah (1–3 minutes from most spots). * Nearby parking lots / alternative options * Small commercial parking areas near local shops and Box Hill Central. * Public parking at Box Hill Station or nearby shopping centre car parks (around 5–7 minute walk) if street parking is full. ### What it’s like in practice * Parking can get busier during lunch and dinner peak times, especially weekends. * Street parking is convenient for shorter visits, while nearby lots are better for longer stays. * Walking a few minutes from nearby parking is usually faster than circling for a spot. ### Quick tip * For peak times (Fri–Sun evenings), plan to arrive slightly earlier (5–6pm). * The area is well-served by trains and buses, so public transport is a good alternative if you want to avoid parking hassles.

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.

When it comes to fried chicken, texture is everything.

5 stars across the board. Not only was the food succulent and mouth wateringly good, the service is incredible. The most gorgeous hijabi girl, i think her name was Sara, served me with the utmost kindness. I hope the next time I am at El Jannah boxhill it will be with her, on a date.

It was a regular day and I decided to eat at el Jannah. The second I walked in my life did a 360. The customer service by Sara the most gorgeous hijabi in the entire world was unmatched. She made me feel so welcomed and at home, she is so sweet and kind, always checking up on me. As I bit in to that delicious chicken leg the chemistry in my brain started to alter just knowing that Sara Salem served me this chicken. Would 100% recommend, the best El Jannah out there

The food here is INSANELY mouth wateringly good. This is the best El Jannah I have EVER gone to, and the best chicken I have EVER eaten. All the workers were so lovely, kind and clearly hard working, but Sara, the Egyptian hijabi worker was something special. She was so beautiful and funny and nice, and I could tell that she spent her time and effort making my food. I recommend everyone coming to the Box Hill El Jannah to try the insanely good food and to see the beautiful Sara.

Came in having a pretty ordinary day with my wife in hospital and the staff were fantastic. I was ordering when a man who I assume was either an owner or a high up manager came over and paid for my meal. It was very much appreciated and I want to say a very big thankyou for making my day so much better. The food was and always is great. Thanks again.

Wet visited twice in one day. I know, I know, twice in a day is a bit much, but we're from Brissy and don't have anything like El Jannah up there. The first visit was amazing. I ordered the Tawouk Roll in a meal. The staff advised that there was a delay with the Tawouk and we'd need to wait a little. No issue there. I'd rather a fresh meal over one that was sitting for a while. OMGoodness... Seriously amazing the chicken was piping hot and the chips stayed hot for ages. The little moist towelettes came in very handy for the juicy meal. The staff were very friendly :) There were a few tables that needed cleaning but I find that with a lot of takeaway places. The second visit was ok. Once again, there were tables that needed cleaning when we sat down. The meals came out and were delicious. I really liked the chilli sauce. Very spicy for me! My husband ordered the half chicken meal. We had to ask for napkins and a moist towelette as we weren't given any. No biggie. I think the biggest downside was the bathrooms were out of toilet paper. The staff were great to grab some, it was just a bit embarrassing to have to ask.

Neily was very kind and helpful. Her customer service was excellent. My offer docket wasn’t working, but she went out of her way to make sure I still received the offers. She treated me with great respect, was very well-mannered, and made the whole experience pleasant. I was really impressed with her service and truly appreciated her help.
