El Jannah Kensington Reviews

David R

Oh yeah, first time at this store, and as usual the staff are very friendly and helpful.
And the chicken, is always the best, I was going for a 1/4 charcoal chicken but once the smell gets you and you think of that garlic sauce, 1/2 is the only option.

Mark Buttigieg

Very welcoming atmosphere. Freshly cooked food and very tasty too. Oju was very friendly.

Dusky Frogmouth

Best Charcoal chicken in town. I ate from McDonald's, KFC, Rooster, Starbucks, and other local charcoal chicken Shops. However, I found the EL JANNAH ON KENSINGTON is the best. Staffs are very friendly and professional, dine-in atmosphere is top notch. Good for money and mood.

Fleur Lychee

Went there to have some of their charcoal chicken. Was literally bestt. The staff was so friendly as i wanted the chicken and chips and they helped me with that and told me i can get a drink with a 50cent difference which was really cool. Would surely visit again

Excellent service and delicious Food

Danny Dee

Always seriously good. The 1/4 chicken meal with chips, a drink and garlic unbelievable garlic sauce is a steal for $13. Dunno how they make money as it's a big breast of chicken. Always stuffed to the gills and very happy. Recommend 100%

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. Explore our range of charcoal chicken meals, and discover why so many people swear by us to solve their chicken cravings.

Fried Chicken

Feast on our range of fried chicken at El Jannah. Enjoy our crispy Tenders and Mixed Pieces, cooked to perfection for that unbeatable crunch. Visit one of our charcoal chicken restaurants or order online today.

Boxes

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.

Burgers

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.

Rolls

Need something delicious you can eat on the go? Say no more, habibi. Our range of authentic Lebanese rolls will fill you up and keep you moving. From our delicious chicken rolls, including our legendary charcoal chicken roll, our vegetarian-friendly falafel roll, and our Aussie-inspired hot chip roll, we’ll fix your cravings so you can roll on to the rest of your day.

Sesame Pockets

Try the New Sesame Pockets (Kaki) at El Jannah, a traditional Lebanese sesame bread perfect for a quick, tasty, and authentic Middle Eastern snack. Now available at all stores.

Salads

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.

Sides

We heard your tummy start to rumble just then … which means it’s time to get the best charcoal chicken in town. But charcoal chicken without some seriously tasty sides is only half the fun — and we’ve got the best sides for chicken. We’re no one-trick ponies. Our signature sides and Lebanese dips range features bold flavours, with options like our universally beloved garlic sauce, crispy chips that’ll make your mouth water, and our hommous dip, which is so good, you’ll never want store bought again.
