Book NowAbout El Jannah Chicken Granville
This Granville landmark has anchored Sydney charcoal chicken since 1998, pairing smoky poultry straight off the coals with its iconic garlic whip. Longtime regulars roll torn flatbread with crisp-skinned chicken, tart pickles, and generous dollops of toum—the creamy emulsion that drives the counter queues steps from the railway station. Whole-bird platters come heaped with hot chips shaken in chicken salt alongside fresh tabbouleh and hummus, feeding family tables and commuter dashes without ceremony.
- Lebanese Charcoal Chicken: Rotisserie poultry comes off the coals smoky and seasoned, bundled with Lebanese flatbread, pickles, and pungent toum.
- Original Flagship Spot: Steps from Granville station, the 1998 birthplace serves fast-paced counter trays and shareable family platters.

Why Diners Choose El Jannah Chicken Granville
Discover why Sydney diners consistently choose the original Granville flagship for wood-fired poultry, house toum, and quick shared meals.
Tender Charcoal-Smoked Chicken
El Jannah marinates and cooks poultry over charcoal to achieve juicy, deeply flavoured meat infused with a distinct wood-fired aroma.
The chicken itself has a rich, smoky aroma and is well-marinated, making it tender and juicy.
Angelica pi Signature Creamy Garlic Toum and Bread
The restaurant serves its signature creamy Lebanese garlic dip alongside warm flatbread and tangy pickles to pair with every cut of chicken.
If you like garlic, you can spread the garlic sauce on bread, add some chicken, and roll it.
M Y Woo Generous Whole-Meal Feasts for Groups
Whole chicken combos bundled with hot chips, bread, and dips provide ample, satisfying portions for shared family or team lunches.
