Boring lunches, beware! El Jannah’s $12 menu is the charcoal-fired break you deserve
- Replies 0
Lunch just isn’t what it used to be. Once upon a time, the middle of the day meant a well-earned break, a meal made with care, and a bit of flavour to look forward to.
These days? Too often, we’re left with limp salads, overhyped ‘flame-grilled’ burgers, or tiny portions that barely get us through the afternoon. Fast food has lost its fire, and lunch has lost its spark.
But there’s good news for anyone craving something better and real.
El Jannah*, Australia’s cult-favourite Lebanese charcoal chicken brand, is on a mission to bring flavour back to the table.
With over 50 restaurants now across NSW, VIC, and the ACT, El Jannah is taking lunch seriously again and serving up proper, charcoal-fired satisfaction at sensible prices.*
Forget the gimmicks. Forget the ‘grill marks’ that never touched a flame. At El Jannah, every meal is cooked the old-fashioned way: over real charcoal.*
The result? Juicy chicken with that unmistakable smoky flavour Aussies have come to love.
Every bite is full of warmth, nostalgia, and heart: the kind of food that feels homemade, even when it’s not.
With their new $12 Lunch Menu*, El Jannah proves that quality doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
Available Monday through Friday until 4 p.m.*, every dish is a proper feed: generous, flavourful, and made fresh in-store.
So, what’s on offer?
Tender charcoal chicken, golden chips, and El Jannah’s famous garlic sauce are tucked into a warm roll.*
It’s the kind of lunch that hits every note: filling, comforting, and bursting with that signature EJ smokiness.
Perfect for when you want something quick but satisfying, the Chicken & Chip Roll Combo* reminds us that classic doesn’t mean boring. It means done right.
The Skewer Snack Pack* delivers just that: perfectly grilled skewers cooked over charcoal, paired with chips and a side of garlic sauce.*
Each bite brings that deep, smoky flavour that El Jannah has built its reputation on.
It’s a nod to the brand’s Lebanese heritage—simple, generous food that feels like it’s straight from a family barbecue.
Crispy chicken bites served with chips and garlic sauce for dipping. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who wants bold flavour and easy eating all in one.*
Think of it as comfort food with a charcoal twist, the kind of lunch that makes the afternoon feel better.
El Jannah’s story began in 1998 in Granville. More than 25 years later, that same spirit of authenticity remains.
The flavours are still cooked over charcoal, the portions are still generous, and the famous garlic sauce still steals the show.
As Head of Marketing, Adam Issa, puts it:
‘We are not another chain selling speed over substance. This is lunch with character. Cooked over charcoal. Served with garlic sauce. Made for people who care what they eat.’
And it’s that care and realness that keep Australians returning for more.
Whether it’s the smoky Chicken & Chip Roll Combo*, the hearty Skewer Snack Pack*, or the crunchy EJ Bites Snack Pack*, El Jannah serves real food with real flavour for real value.

Which $12 lunch will you try first? More importantly… are you ready to declare war on boring lunches?
