Restaurant Address
Access Info

Where to park
On-site parking (main option)
Customer car park directly at the restaurant.
Space for cars and accessible parking bays.
Short walk to the entrance, under a minute from most spots.
Nearby alternatives
Extra parking in the surrounding retail strip if the main lot fills.

What it's like in practice
Cranbourne East is a fast-growing family suburb. Most visits happen outside a jam-packed lot, since the area is built around driving, not walking. Families picking up dinner or groups ordering platters find the car park handles the flow without much wait.
Quick tip
Friday to Sunday evenings bring the heaviest traffic. Arrive between 5 and 6pm if you want the closest spot. Driving is the easiest way to get here. Cranbourne East doesn't have the foot traffic or public transport density of inner suburbs, so a car is the default for most customers.

El Jannah Cranbourne East Menu
Lunch just got legendary. Three fresh chicken rolls – charcoal tawouk or hand-crumbed crispy tenders – built to order in fresh Lebanese bread with our famous toum (garlic sauce) and whole food salads made fresh in the restaurant every day.
Real ingredients. Made the El Jannah way. Available every day from open until 4pm, in-restaurant and on the El Jannah app.
If you’re a charcoal chicken lover, then you’ve landed on the right page. Through decades of cooking chicken on charcoal, we’ve perfected the process, delivering smoky, juicy, and authentic Lebanese, flame-grilled charcoal chicken that people across Australia can’t get enough of. Our on fire charcoal chicken is legendary for its taste and freshness, which is why our Charcoal Chicken Menu is so popular.

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.

Charcoal chicken without a fresh, traditional Lebanese salad, is like going to someone’s home without a gift. It just isn’t right.

When you’re at El Jannah, you’re not just eating chicken, you’re experiencing a flavour explosion we’ve been perfecting since 1998. This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Cranbourne East.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Cranbourne East So Crispy

Crazy, right? No, really, hear us out. Too many chicken shops rush the job and hand you some oil-drenched, soggy, sad excuse for a tender. When you want something crunchy and satisfying, that’s what you get? No. We won’t stand for it. Every piece is coated in our special blend of spices and hand-breaded for that perfect crunch. No tears over soggy tenders here. We promise.

Have been twice now, food always great, can wait alittle while as it does get busy but they have staff to accommodate all orders and inquiries.
Definitely alot better than any other fast food restaurant you go to.

Ordered through the website, but Uber forgot to pick up my complete order. Instead of simply giving me a refund, the staff at the store personally took care of it and delivered the missing items. And, of course, the food is always good!
