El Jannah Cronulla – Legendary Charcoal Chicken Finally Coming to The Shire
Cronulla, the wait is finally over. For years — and we mean years — the people of The Shire have been asking, requesting, and demanding one thing: an El Jannah of their own. The DMs, the comments, the emails, the people tagging us on socials saying “when are you coming to Cronulla?” — we heard every single one of them. And now, El Jannah is opening at 47–49 Kingsway, Cronulla in June 2026, bringing legendary Lebanese charcoal chicken to The Shire at last. Whether you’re in Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda, Sutherland, Gymea, or Woolooware — your new local is nearly here.
(Note: date may shift to early June if we need a little more time to get it perfect — because that’s the El Jannah way. Watch this page and our socials for the confirmed date.)

What to Expect at El Jannah Cronulla
El Jannah’s charcoal chicken is marinated for a full 24 hours in a blend of traditional Lebanese spices, then grilled low and slow over real charcoal until the skin is perfectly golden and smoky and the meat is juicy all the way through. Nearly three decades of doing things the right way — and it’s all coming to Kingsway.
At El Jannah Cronulla, you’ll find a full Lebanese menu built around real ingredients, real technique, and real flavour:
What is on the El Jannah menu?
- Charcoal Chicken — whole, half, or quarter, always fresh off the grill and never reheated
- Crispy Fried Chicken — golden, crunchy, and packed with flavour in every bite
- Burgers & Rolls — freshly made to order, loaded with El Jannah’s signature fillings
- Lebanese Sides — fresh tabouli, house pickles, crispy coleslaw, and golden chips
- Sides & Dips — world-famous garlic sauce, rich hommus made from real chickpeas, smoky babaganouj from fire-roasted eggplant, signature sweet and spicy sauce, plus tomato and BBQ
The Shire Has been waiting long enough
There’s something special about a community that truly rallies behind something they believe in. And The Shire rallied hard for El Jannah. Over the years, hundreds — probably thousands — of messages came in from Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda, Sutherland, and surrounds, all asking the same question: when are you coming to us?
The answer is: very soon.
El Jannah Cronulla at 47–49 Kingsway isn’t just another store opening. It’s the store that The Shire built with its passion, its persistence, and its very loud voices on Instagram. We couldn’t be more proud to finally be bringing charcoal chicken to Cronulla — and we can’t wait to become part of the fabric of this community the same way El Jannah has become part of so many others across Sydney and Melbourne.
To everyone who asked, tagged, shared, and waited — this one’s for you.
Real Food.Real Flavour. The El Jannah Promise
Lebanese cuisine is one of the oldest and most celebrated food cultures in the world — built on freshness, fire, and generations of tradition. Real tabouli made from farm-fresh parsley and ripe tomatoes. Hommus from real chickpeas soaked overnight. Babaganouj from eggplant roasted over an open flame. Garlic sauce made fresh, every single day.
At El Jannah, we’ve honoured that tradition since 1998. Every store we open — including our new location bringing charcoal chicken to Maroubra — carries that same commitment. No preservatives. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just real Lebanese food, made the way it was always meant to be made, now landing on one of Sydney’s most iconic streets.
Anzac Parade is a stretch of road that has fed Sydney’s eastern suburbs for generations. It deserves food that’s made properly — and that’s exactly what El Jannah is bringing in June.
