El Jannah (Braybrook) Chicken Shop

The plate lands with confidence. In the image, you’ve got El Jannah’s charcoal chicken, deeply bronzed with visible char along the skin, topped generously with a thick dollop of their iconic garlic sauce. The chicken shows signs of being pushed just a touch too far over the coals — some edges are darker, edging into bitterness — but it’s nothing that can’t be rescued, or even forgiven, once that garlic sauce gets involved. Alongside it sits a vibrant tabbouleh, chopped fine and glistening with lemon and olive oil, flecked with tomato and parsley, looking as fresh as it tastes.

Let’s address the chicken first. Yes, parts of it are over-charred, with a few bitter bits creeping through. But this is where El Jannah reminds you why they sit in a category of their own. That garlic sauce is next level — creamy, punchy, unapologetically garlicky, and powerful enough to smooth out the rough edges of the cook. It’s the real differentiator here and the reason El Jannah separates itself from places like Red Rooster or your standard charcoal chicken shop. This isn’t just sauce; it’s the backbone of the meal.

The tabbouleh is fresh and well balanced, not soggy or heavy on the onion. Bright herbs, clean acidity, and a proper chop show respect for Lebanese cooking done right. It complements the richness of the chicken rather than trying to compete with it.

We ordered the Special 2 — two whole chickens with chips and bread — and added extra garlic sauce (non-negotiable) plus an extra serve of tabbouleh. It’s generous, filling, and budget-friendly, making it an easy choice for families or groups. During dinner time there’s a constant flow of diners, in and out, which is always a good sign — people know what they’re coming for and they keep coming back.

El Jannah Braybrook may not hit perfection on the char every time, but the overall experience still delivers. When the garlic sauce is this good, it earns a lot of grace. This is comfort food with attitude — bold, messy, satisfying, and affordable — and that signature sauce remains the reason El Jannah continues to draw a crowd.

Great food and great service👌🏾

Very good customer service 10 out of 10

First time trying this charcoal chicken place. The chicken is sooooo good! So are the chips and they’re very generous on the chips. The wraps that go with your meal are also so fresh!
We were served by a young lad named Eden, he had great customer service and you just knew he represents this work place well.
Food was made fast and it was a pleasant experience. Our family loved the taste as well. We need this in New Zealand.

I went through drive-thru today around night time, there was a girl that took my order. She told me the order was going to take a bit, she had very a good attitude about it, friendly tone. While, waiting for my wrap (which was delicious) I noticed her doing both drive-thru and kitchen while continuously taking orders. I’ve worked in fast food and know how busy it can get and she did an amazing job.

El jannah braybrook has changed my life. I walked in about 20 minutes ago and the kind staff greeted me with open arms. If I was their manager I would give them a raise.

Portion sizes were very big and the food was amazing, the chicken skewer roll was very good, and it all came nice and hot

Came in for a snack today, it was great. The young boy who served me was very welcoming, he was Asian with glasses and I think his name began with an ‘I’. Thanks to him for his hard work, would come again!

Excellent service and food is amazing

Food was fabulous, workers are si welcoming and nice!
