Food chain El Jannah takes swipe at KFC over kebab
El Jannah has taken a swipe at the world's biggest fried chicken chain after it released a limited edition item. KFC released its Zinger Kebab on Tuesday and social media users were quick to share their thoughts on the twist of the iconic meal. El Jannah was seen lurking in the comment section of a lot of the videos. On one clip, it shared an iconic clip from The Devil Wears Prada where Miranda Priestly uses the term 'groundbreaking' when it comes to florals for spring. 'The spooky music is real because what's that? I'm scared — come see me bro I'll show you a real chicken roll,' the brand said on another. On another, it commented: 'Come see me girlie, I'll show you a thing or two about garlic sauce and tabouli.' Adam Issa, El Jannah's chief marketing officer, said the brand was all for Middle Eastern flavours making it's way onto more menus as it's a win for culture. 'That said, when it comes to Lebanese-style wraps, Aussies know exactly where their hearts (and stomachs) belong,' Mr Issa told 'KFC's latest 'kebab' might be an attempt to ride the trend, but El Jannah has been setting it for decades – with fresh, hand-cut tabouli, our legendary garlic sauce, and smoky charcoal chicken that's become an icon. It's the combo that keeps loyal fans and the curious coming back again and again. A KFC spokesperson responded to the sassy comments from the charcoal chicken brand. 'We love a bit of cheeky banter, but let's not forget – we've been serving up fried chicken for over 50 years and the Zinger Kebab is KFC's twist on an Aussie favourite,' the KFC spokesperson said. 'Our focus has always been to bring the heat in the kitchen, we'll leave the others to bring it in the comments.' The Zinger Kebab, which features a Zinger fillet, lettuce, tabouli, garlic sauce, Supercharged sauce and flat bread, was met with mixed reviews after it's release. Kayla Schembri said it 'might just be KFC's best menu item yet' and that her followers 'weren't ready' for it. 'I love that it comes in a kebab wrapper, that's so cute,' she said. 'Oh my god, this looks so good.' After taking a bite, Ms Schembri said it tasted like a big version of the slider and she was 'really down for that'. 'The filling is just super fresh,' she commented, adding that the garlic sauce was 'incredible'. Meanwhile, food content creator Dub Eats Everything said while it was likely to bring lines to KFCs around the country, he wanted to try it for himself to see if it was 'worth it'. 'That garlic sauce and tabouli hits you in the face as soon as you bite in,' he told followers. 'I would like a bit more chicken in there. It's giving heavy Middle Eastern vibes. The Supercharged Sauce adds a nice kick too.' He even added some chips to the kebab and said he'd like if the flatbread was more toasted. Overall, he declared it didn't contend with the brand's other releases but it was full of flavour. Katie Gulle also was one of the first to dig in. 'It definitely doesn't taste like a kebab, like it's just the bread. It's giving a chicken wrap. But it's really yum,' she said. 'I saw some people's and it was just bread and chicken, like there was no sauce, but there is heaps of sauce on mine. Overall, she said she 'really enjoyed it'. Nick Vavitis, who owns brownie company Choclt, also weighed in, saying it wasn't often that he went to KFC but for a Zinger Kebab and a snack pack he was willing to make an exception. After taking a few bites, he delivered his verdict. 'I don't know if I just got a really bad one or there wasn't enough tabouli in it but when I eat a kebab I'm thinking spices like garlic, paprika and onion,' he said. 'Mine's actually really, really bland. I'm not getting much flavouring at all. You'd at least want a really strong garlic taste from a kebab. I'm not even getting that.'
