El Jannah has proudly opened its 50th restaurant, marking its very first location in Belmont, Geelong. The new store launched on Saturday, 20th September 2025, bringing El Jannah’s famous charcoal chicken and signature garlic sauce to the local community. To celebrate, the Belmont store offered $5 quarter chicken meals all day—welcoming residents to try the brand’s legendary menu at a great price.

From its humble beginnings in Granville, El Jannah has rapidly grown across Australia. The chain now operates 50 restaurants and aims to expand to over 100 stores within the next two years. A key to its success is a unique farm-to-plate supply chain that ensures fresh ingredients are delivered six to seven days a week. This commitment to freshness and quality helps El Jannah keep its family meal bundles affordable, even during inflation.

The new Belmont restaurant is a sign of El Jannah’s continued growth and commitment to meeting customer demand for quick, fresh, and tasty meals. The chain has also expanded its drive-thru network, which now makes up around 40% of its restaurants, improving convenience for customers. El Jannah works closely with local suppliers, including bakeries for fresh Lebanese bread, to maintain authentic flavors and high quality.

El Jannah’s focus remains on Australian growth, making sure every new store, including Belmont, has a strong supply chain from the start. With El Jannah in Belmont, locals can now enjoy delicious charcoal chicken and more from a trusted, iconic Australian brand that’s growing fast and staying fresh.
