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. 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 toum (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.
The Best Charcoal Chicken in Preston
At El Jannah, we don’t rush the process. Our chicken is slow-cooked over charcoal to lock in flavour, juiciness, and that signature smoky finish. Every bite delivers the perfect balance of texture and taste, refined over decades. This isn’t just charcoal chicken in Preston… it’s charcoal chicken done right.
What Makes our Fried Chicken in Preston So Crispy
So what sets El Jannah’s fried chicken in Preston apart? It comes down to care and technique. While others rush the fry and leave you with greasy, soggy chicken, we take our time. Each piece is hand-breaded, seasoned with our signature spice blend, and cooked to achieve that golden crunch on the outside and juicy tenderness inside. No shortcuts. No soggy tenders. Just seriously good fried chicken, every time.
