The Midnight Chicken Chronicles: El Jannah Melbourne Is Open 24/7 (Fri-Sat)
Spoiler: We serve fried chicken for breakfast. And it slaps.
If you’ve ever found yourself wandering Melbourne’s CBD at 3am thinking, “I could destroy some El Jannah right now,” you’re not alone. You’re also not out of luck—because El Jannah Melbourne is open 24/7 every Friday and Saturday.
By Day: Charcoal Legends
You know the drill. That golden skin. That smoky depth. That perfectly cooked meat, clinging to the bone like it knows how good it is. Charcoal chicken is what built our name—and it’s still the MVP.
Rolls, plates, wraps, snack packs, full-blown banquets. Add that iconic garlic sauce, and suddenly your lunch break turns into a main event.
But…
By Night: Fried Takes the Crown
Let’s talk about what happens after 12am.
Melbourne, you’ve spoken—and you’ve made it very clear: when the sun goes down and the cravings kick in, it’s fried or nothing. And honestly? We get it.
That crispy crunch. That juicy center. That full-bodied, flavour-packed mouth party that hits different at 2am when your brain is half asleep but your tastebuds are wide awake. It’s not just a meal. It’s a life decision.
So yeah, no charcoal chicken after midnight—but only because our fried game is next-level, and Melbourne can’t get enough of it.
Sunrise with a Side of Sauce
Is it weird to eat fried chicken at 6am?
Absolutely not. This is Melbourne. You’re a creative, culture-loving city with expensive coffee habits and chaotic sleep schedules. Fried chicken for breakfast isn’t weird—it’s genius.
You haven’t lived until you’ve watched the sun rise over Swanston Street (besides the obvious buildings in the way) while clutching a box of hot, fresh EJ Bites like they’re the only thing keeping your soul intact. Spoiler: they are.
Real Fans Don’t Sleep
Whether you’re rolling out of a club, finishing a late-night shift, or just wide awake at stupid o’clock craving something glorious—we’re open.

El Jannah. Fried chicken. Garlic sauce. No regrets.
Tag your night crew. Pull up. Order online if you’ve already committed to the couch. And remember: not all heroes wear capes—some just keep the fryers on through the night.
