About Henrietta Charcoal Chicken Surry Hills

Charcoal smoke and garlic toum set the tempo at this buzzing Surry Hills diner, elevating suburban chicken-shop comfort into a spirited sit-down spread. Expect juicy slow-cooked chicken torn straight from the grill, wrapped in warm Lebanese flatbread with hot chips, crunchy pickles, and house baba ghanoush. Regulars turn out for the bustling banquet plates and house-batched margaritas, while weekday diners drop in for crisp chicken bowls loaded with spiced eggplant and hummus. Gluten-averse regulars don't have to skip the wrap routine either—the kitchen swaps in warm corn tortillas to dredge through pungent garlic sauce and green zhug.

  • Juicy charcoal chicken: Slow-cooked on the grill with punchy garlic toum, pickles, and hot chips wrapped in soft Lebanese bread.
  • Full dine-in bar vibe: Table service, craft margaritas, and generous banquet platters turn casual roast chicken into a vibrant night out.
  • Gluten-free tortilla option: Warm corn tortillas arrive as an easy swap for flatbread to scoop up house dips and chargrilled meats.

Why Henrietta Charcoal Chicken Stands Out

Why Surry Hills diners choose Henrietta for elevated charcoal chicken and relaxed gatherings

  • Juicy Charcoal Chicken with Classic Lebanese Sides

    Henrietta cooks tender, juicy charcoal chicken accompanied by garlic toum, pickles, and warm Lebanese bread.

    The charcoal chicken was excellent—incredibly juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. It got even better when you wrap it in the Lebanese bread with the toum, chips, and tabbouleh!

  • Dedicated Gluten-Free Corn Tortilla Alternative

    Diners requiring gluten-free options are provided with warm corn tortillas so they can still enjoy wraps with their chicken and dips.

    Lots of gluten free options - and instead of bread they give you corn tortillas which were a really great pairing with the chicken.

  • Generous Feast Meals Built for Group Dinners

    Shareable whole-chicken feasts and banquet setups provide generous portions that easily feed gatherings of friends and family.

    Had 2 whole chicken (meal),with the corn ribs & the eggplant! It was 5 of us, and we were so full after! Even had some chicken left.

  • Crowd-Pleasing Menus for Shared Gatherings

    The versatile menu of chargrilled chicken, varied mezze sides, and sauces accommodates broad group preferences seamlessly.

    All the sides and sauces were delicious, and it’s the kind of menu that really works for a group because everything is such a crowd pleaser.

  • Attentive, Welcoming Table Service

    Staff offer genuine hospitality with proactive check-ins and thoughtful service that makes diners feel looked after.

    The staff were warm, attentive and naturally hospitable without hovering. It is rare to feel that looked after in a modern venue but they pulled it off effortlessly.
