For Granville locals, El Jannah has always been a beacon, the scent of chicken fat dripping onto charcoal in the air as they jostle for tables. While the brand may have expanded east of the Red Rooster line, the original still pumps. Go for the birds, but know it’s the pickles, pita and the prospect of way too much toum – or just enough – that really make it.
