Where do I park for El Jannah South Yarra?

For El Jannah South Yarra, parking is convenient but slightly different since it’s on a busy main road (Malvern Road) rather than inside a large shopping centre. Where to park On-site / nearby street parking (main option)** * Limited metered street parking along **Malvern Road** and nearby side streets (Windsor St, Clarendon St, Fawkner St). * Most spots are **2-hour zones**, so best for lunch or dinner visits. * Very short walk to El Jannah (1–3 minutes from most spots). Nearby parking lots / alternative options** Prahran Market car park** (a 5–7 minute walk) Windsor Station car park** (around 8–10 minute walk) What it’s like in practice * Parking on Malvern Road can **get busy at peak meal times**, especially evenings and weekends. * Side streets often have slightly easier availability. * Walking a few minutes from nearby lots is usually faster than circling for street parking. Quick tip * If you’re visiting during dinner peak (Fri–Sun), **aim to arrive early (5–6pm)**. * Consider using a **ride-share or public transport** if you’re coming from further away — South Yarra is well connected by train and tram. If you want, I can make a **small map showing the best streets and lots to park near 495 Malvern Road** so it’s super easy to see. Do you want me to do that?

El Jannah South Yarra Menu

Legendary Lebanese Lunch

Lunch just got legendary. Three fresh chicken rolls – charcoal tawouk or hand-crumbed crispy tenders – built to order in fresh Lebanese bread with our famous toum (garlic sauce) and whole food salads made fresh in the restaurant every day. Real ingredients. Made the El Jannah way. Available every day from open until 4pm, in-restaurant and on the El Jannah app.

If you’re a charcoal chicken lover, then you’ve landed on the right page. Through decades of cooking chicken on charcoal, we’ve perfected the process, delivering smoky, juicy, and authentic Lebanese, flame-grilled charcoal chicken that people across Australia can’t get enough of. Our on fire charcoal chicken is legendary for its taste and freshness, which is why our Charcoal Chicken Menu is so popular. Explore our range of charcoal chicken meals, and discover why so many people swear by us to solve their chicken cravings.

Fried Chicken

Boxes

When you’re looking for a convenient way to get the full El Jannah experience, you can’t go past our famous meal boxes. We’ve designed a variety of El Jannah meal boxes to showcase everything we do, from our crispy fried chicken box to our tender, juicy charcoal chicken box. We pack the boxes full of flavour (we’re proud of our generous portions), so you can enjoy our legendary chicken any time, anywhere.

Burgers

We’re big believers in the power of a legendary burger, which is why we’ve spent years perfecting a pair of chicken burgers so good, you’ll want to hard launch them on your Instagram. Just make sure you mute your most annoying family members before you do; we know how much they love to ask questions. The freshness of our Crispy Chicken Burger speaks for itself, while its spicy sibling, the Grilled Chicken Burger, is renowned as one of the best chicken burgers in town. Treat yourself to one (or both), and get ready to fall in looooove.

Our range of Lebanese salads, like our chicken salad, fattoush salad, and tabouli salad, are just as delicious as they are fun to say. Say fabulous fattoush six times fast, we dare you.

Sides

The Best Charcoal Chicken in South Yarra

Great charcoal chicken takes time – and we don’t rush it.

Each piece is slow-cooked over open flames to lock in flavour, keep it juicy, and create that signature smoky char El Jannah is known for. It’s a process refined over decades, delivering consistency in every bite.

This isn’t just charcoal chicken in South Yarra – it’s charcoal chicken done right.

What Makes our Fried Chicken in South Yarra So Crispy

When it comes to fried chicken, it’s all about getting the details right.

No shortcuts. No soggy tenders. Just seriously good fried chicken, every time.
