Feast with El Jannah Penrith

Is that your tummy we can hear rumbling, or are you just happy to see us? Don’t worry habibi, we’ve got the best charcoal chicken in Penrith, and it’s already on the grill, just waiting for ya. We’d love to see you in-person, because let’s be real, you really need to dine-in to get the full El Jannah experience—complete with the sounds of sizzling chicken and the aroma of charcoal filling the air. Now you’re making us hungry, and we work here …

However, if you’d rather eat in front of the TV (we don’t blame you, we’re hooked on Severance too), then order through our website, and we’ll have some seriously delicious chicken to your front door in moments. Just tidy yourself up before you step outside, OK?

The Best Charcoal Chicken in Penrith

Ever been around to a friend’s place, and they’ve bragged about their food, only for it to be drier than the desert? Yeah, we’ve been there too, and we blocked them on social media on the drive home. We wouldn’t do that to you, though.

Instead, we marinate every piece of our chicken the traditional Lebanese way, lovingly soaking it in a secret blend of spices and herbs that’ll remind you of your tayta’s cooking, without the invasive questions about your love life or when you’re giving her great grandchildren.

After nearly 30 years of perfecting our techniques and recipes to get them juuuust right, you can bet that we trust our charcoal chicken more than your uncle trusts his hairline. Now, what are you waiting for? We’ve got a few pieces of charcoal chicken in Penrith with your name on it.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in Penrith So Crispy

We’re no one-trick ponies. Yes, we might have the best charcoal chicken in Penrith, but once you’ve eaten your weight in that, we’ve also got fried chicken that’ll still make your mouth water. Crispier than your line-up (unless you’re going to a bad barber), we bread every piece by hand, with a secret coating designed for maximum crunch.

The coating locks in the juiciness of the chicken, so you get the best of both worlds. If you’re not a complete wimp, you can pair our fried chicken with a spicy chilli sauce that’ll impress your family and friends—but let us know if you’re not up for that challenge.

This time the service was good. Tony and the guy at the counter knew exactly how to satisfy a customer with their smiley face and good service. A mistake with my order was handled perfectly followed by mini eclairs for an apology
