About Char Cha by Charbel Chaaya

Padstow locals turn to Char Cha for smoky, tender Lebanese charcoal chicken swaddled in warm flatbread. Tucked into an intimate twenty-seat dining room, the kitchen plates crisp fattoush, seasoned hot chips, and pungent toum alongside skewers hot off the grill. Charbel Chaaya’s team also coordinates private event spreads, setting up full tables and packing takeaway boxes before handling post-party cleanup. Diners unwrap the flatbread to find meat juices soaked into every fold.

  • Flatbread-wrapped chicken: Charcoal chicken arrives wrapped inside Lebanese flatbread, infusing the bread with roasted meat juices before you unwrap it.
  • Turnkey private catering: Charbel and his team handle full tabletop displays, provide guest takeaway containers, and pack down completely after events.

Why Choose Char Cha by Charbel Chaaya

Authentic Lebanese charcoal specialties and complete event catering tailored for family dining and stress-free celebrations.

  • Bread-Wrapped Charcoal Chicken

    Whole charcoal chickens are served wrapped directly in flatbread so the seasoned pan drippings soak straight into the bread before serving.

    They wrap the chicken in the leb bread and you don't see the chicken until you unwrap it.
