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.

For me, not the best charcoal chicken. It was a bit dry and burnt for my liking. Finding parking and a table could be difficult.

The food was amazing, especially the chicken tenders and the zinger burger and the staff are very kind and the atmosphere is good with enough people to feed on a table with a drive thru.

The charcoal chicken was absolutely spot on – juicy, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The garlic sauce and fresh sides just made the whole meal even better.
What really stood out though was the manager’s professionalism and leadership. The service was smooth, the staff were friendly and organised, and you can clearly see the high standards being maintained. It makes a big difference when management genuinely cares about customer experience.
Great food, great management, great overall experience. Highly recommend!

First time visiting El Jannah St Albans and I was really impressed. The place was very clean and the self-serve kiosks were easy to use. The staff member at the counter was polite and friendly, and the food was freshly cooked. I didn’t have to wait long at all, it honestly reminded me of back home in Sydney, with Campbelltown, Prestons, and Liverpool where the wait is usually under 20 minutes. Amazing work overall and I’d definitely recommend it to everyone.
