Charcoal chicken without a fresh, traditional Lebanese salad, is like going to someone’s home without a gift. It just isn’t right. Our range of Lebanese salads, like our chicken salad, fattoush salad, and tabouli salad, are just as delicious as they are fun to say. Say fabulous fattoush six times fast, we dare you.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Ivanhoe So Crispy
When we think of fried chicken, we think crispy and crunchy. Duh. That’s the whole point! Which is why our fried chicken recipe packs crunchiness into every bite. It all starts with hand-breading each piece using a signature blend of herbs and spices, with each flavour playing its part. Then, we fry the chicken to perfection. This keeps things seriously juicy on the inside and gives the outside that crispiness we all crave. When you’re looking for something different, take a walk on the fried side of life. Things are pretty good over here, habibi.
