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.
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.
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.

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.
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.

El Jannah Mitcham Opening Day

The Best Charcoal Chicken in Mitcham
At El Jannah, we believe great charcoal chicken takes time. Every piece is slow-cooked over open flames to lock in flavour, keep it juicy, and deliver that signature smoky char we’re known for. It’s a method refined over decades, ensuring consistency in every bite. This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Mitcham — it’s charcoal chicken done right.
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Mitcham So Crispy
So, what sets El Jannah’s fried chicken in Mitcham apart? It comes down to doing things properly from start to finish. While others rush the process, we take the time to get that perfect balance of crunch and flavour.
Each piece is hand-breaded using our signature blend of herbs and spices, then cooked until golden and crispy on the outside while staying juicy on the inside. No shortcuts, no soggy tenders — just seriously good fried chicken every time.
