El Jannah Sides Menu
El Jannah’s Signature Sides and Dips
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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What sides and dips are available at El Jannah?
We enjoy making your lunch and dinner decisions hard, so we’ve got a seriously large range of sides and dips to pair with your chicken. Chips, Pickles, Sweet n Spicy Sauce, Honey Mustard Sauce, Creamy Gravy, Garlic Sauce, Chilli Sauce, Hommous, and Babaghanouj, we’ve got them all. And yes, habibi, each one is made with love.
Are El Jannah’s sides and dips Halal-certified?
Just like our delicious charcoal chicken, all our signature sides and dips are 100% Halal.
What is El Jannah’s famous Garlic Sauce?
If you don’t know about our famous Garlic Sauce, we’re about to change your life. It’s creamy. It’s bold. It’s packed with flavour. There’s life BGS (Before Garlic Sauce) and AGS (After Garlic Sauce). There’s no inbetween.
What is Babaghanouj?
If Hommous is the headliner, then Babaghanouj is the secret act that you need to know about. A traditional Lebanese dip, this one’s for those that love a smoky and creamy flavour with their chicken and chips. Roasted eggplant, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil are lovingly combined, resulting in a dip so good, you’ll want to dive head-first into the tub.
What are El Jannah’s Pickles made of?
These aren’t your run of the mill pickles. We use traditional Lebanese methods to turn turnips, cucumbers, and chillies, into a tangy, crunchy flavour explosion that elevates any meal. Give them a try, and thank us later..
Can I customise my sides order?
Of course! Whether you’re ordering online or in-store, you can add extra sides, sauces, and even increase portion sizes, to make sure you’re really getting the full El Jannah experience. We’ve got you habibi, no matter how hungry you are.
Are there vegetarian options among the Sides menu?
While we’re known for our chicken, our Sides menu is where the vegetarians can have their fun. Our Hommous, Babaghanouj, Pickles, and Chips are all vegetarian. Everyone deserves to experience what we’re all about, after all.
Are El Jannah’s sides gluten-free?
If you’re gluten-intolerant, then we recommend reviewing our allergens chart to check what sides are right for you. For our coeliac friends, we highly recommend the hoummus and the babaghanouj. It’s also worth flagging with our friendly team if you’re ordering in-store so they can take care of you!
Can I order just sides and dips for takeaway or delivery?
We see you, and we respect the move. You can definitely order our sides and dips on their own, both via our online platform and in-store. No-one’s gonna know that you’re hoarding our Garlic Sauce — it’s our secret.
What pairs best with El Jannah’s charcoal chicken?
We believe that every side/dip we offer goes well with charcoal chicken. However, if you’re pressing us for a recommendation (which we appreciate, we’re here to help), you can’t go wrong with our Chips, Pickles, Garlic Sauce, and Hommous. Why not grab them all and make it a feast?
What are your open hours?
The open hours of our family of El Jannah stores vary, so find your local store here and make a plan to share a feast.
Do you take bookings?
The simple answer is: no. We love walk-ins. So wander in when you and your friends and family are ready to share an El Jannah feast. We will do our absolute best to find you a seat at one of our tables so you can enjoy our legendary chicken and the rest, together.
Do you have any current franchising opportunities? I think I want in.
We are getting asked this question a lot. It’s exciting times for us, with the El Jannah family of stores expanding in various hot locations, including Greater Sydney, Central Coast NSW, Newcastle, South Coast NSW, Canberra and Melbourne. Clearly Aussies have a big appetite for our cult-classic charcoal chicken and all the El Jannah extras.
What is the difference between takeaway, pick-up, and delivery?
You’ll grab your takeaway or pick-up orders in-store. Booked a charcoal chicken delivery? Just sit back and relax, we’ll run it over ASAP.
How do I find the nearest El Jannah for takeaway?
Check our store locator. It’s a lot easier than continuously searching “fried chicken takeaway near me” and hoping for the best. Well, it’s how you ended up here so we guess it’s kinda useful.
What time is delivery available?
Depends on the store. For example, we do fried and charcoal chicken delivery in Sydney as late as 11 p.m, seven days a week.
How long does it take to get my order?
Pick-up typically takes 10-15 minutes. If you’re craving charcoal chicken delivery near you, this depends on how busy the traffic is (and how busy we are).
Can I customise my takeaway or delivery order?
Absolutely! And trust us, you’ll want to add on some extra sides and sauces to get the full EJ experience. You’ve heard about our garlic sauce, right? What about our fattoush? Fattoush, fattoush! It’s fun to say and it’s damn delicious, too.
Are all El Jannah menu items available for delivery?
When you book a delivery, our full menu’s up for grabs, but we might run the odd store-only promotion. For the most part, though, if you’re after charcoal chicken near you, delivery’s a great option.
Can I pre-order my meal for a later pick-up?
You know it. You can even book it weeks in advance and set a specific time. All flexibility, no faff, just remember to pick it up or we’ll eat it for you.
