El Jannah Pakenham Reviews

Its very accomodating with the filo guy ,
I really like the food and its a really good service. 💯

First time for me and it was absolutely delicious, perfection. I got the fried box and couldn’t fault it at all. Only thing I didn’t like was it was a bit echoey and noisy in the establishment so I went to my car to enjoy my meal. I think a few bins in the car parks would be a great addition.

Long time El Jannah fan. Been having since 2017 Granville.
The staff forgot babaganoush and didn't deliver. I had to remind. They had skewers on the menu but not displayed anywhere. I asked at counter and he said they are there but how do I know what you have if you don't keep a menu? They just have big screens with combos.

It's a bit sad to see how they have become more like any other fast food joint. The essence is gone. I had babaganoush but it now came in a plastic box. Cutlery replaced by paper plates. Pickles came in disposable boxes. I left with mixed feelings.

Edit: went there again. They still don't have a menu. Just a screen which doesn't display everything

Love the food and atmosphere here it’s awesome. And my favourite part is that their seating area is always tidy and nice to eat at.

I’ve even tried getting delivered from here and the food arrives tasty hot and fresh.

If I was gonna give any room for improvement it would be for the front counter staff to be a bit more friendly and polite, but that’s literally it.

Price is on par with everything else lately.

Finally my most favourite part is that they have a big beautiful window at the front of the restaurant where you can watch all the zombies of Pakenham as they was by.

Great place for the charcoal chicken fix! Service can sometimes get a bit slow but overall a pleasant experience. Never been disappointed with the great food.

Everything was perfection, I am currently visiting from Sydney, and I’d have to say one thing that disappointed me was the choice of Lebanese bread, it just wasn’t the same. Regardless, I’m not basing the review solely from the bread. It’s not fair, as everything else including the chips were perfect. My order was the took platter and it was delivered to my car in the parking bay, another cool feature I haven’t seen at Sydney!

So impressed with this place! Everything was hot, fresh, lovely presentation, good prices, delicious sauces, moist chicken, great serving sizes! So much better than the regular takeaway chains that charge ridiculous prices for food that looks stepped on and is usually cold. Well done guys - what you expect when you pay for food.

****UPDATE AS OF 18th March.
Food was ordinary today. Not bad, but not great like it was 6 months back. Chips were warm not hot - chicken the same. Could tell it'd been sitting for a while. Presentation not as good..
Hopefully this was just a one off day.
