But, either way, Gungahlin is getting a new place to get delicious charcoal chicken, because El Jannah is coming to Canberra.

MUST READS:
First started by Lebanese immigrants Andre and Carole Estephan in the Western Sydney suburb of Granville, El Jannah has grown with a menu surrounding chicken at its heart.

El Jannah has expanded to Melbourne with a couple of stores opening there in recent years, and now, as the signage has appeared on a Marketplace Gungahlin premises, just by the light rail stop, on the corner of Ernest Cavanagh Street, El Jannah is setting up shop in the capital.
What's more, the business is in the process of recruiting staff, meaning the opening date will be in the coming weeks.
