The Good Stuff
Lebanese tawook
The Lebanese tawook is praised for its garlic, lemon and smoky paprika marinade, with a juicy texture.
Shawarma
The shawarma receives repeated praise, including a review calling it fresh and tasty.
Clean outlet
One late-night visit found the restaurant clean inside, with friendly service.
Helpful service
Several reviews describe staff as polite, welcoming and attentive during dine-in and takeaway visits.
Batata side
The batata stood out for one reviewer, who preferred it to the original-marinated chicken.
Tips for a Better Visit
Try tawook. Consider the Lebanese tawook if you like saucy, spicy chicken; one review found it excellent and ordered exactly that way.
Use discounts. Check noon Food or Keeta before ordering, as one review reported deep online discounts despite higher in-store pricing.
Allow time. Build in extra time for pickup or delivery, since reviews include delayed orders and one order forgotten for an hour.
Check deliveries. Inspect delivered meals before eating; one customer reported finding a piece of plastic in rice.
Check the AC. If dining in, confirm the air conditioning is working first; one visitor switched to takeaway because it was not.

The Bottom Line
At Trade Centre, JJ Chicken is mainly a charcoal-chicken and sandwich stop. The reviews make the strongest case for fresh, juicy charcoal-grilled chicken, chicken shawarma and Lebanese tawook. The tawook is described as carrying a well-balanced garlic, lemon and smoky-paprika marinade, while shawarma gets repeated praise for its freshness.
A whole chicken with fries has also worked well as a late-night meal. There are some worthwhile side notes. One reviewer loved the batata, and another found the outlet clean inside with friendly service at 1am.
The restaurant has its own, relatively uncrowded seating rather than a food-court setup, although the air conditioner was not working during one visit. Staff experiences are mixed: some customers describe polite, attentive help, while others report rude interactions and poor treatment of delivery riders. Consistency is the main caution.
Reviews mention long waits, an order forgotten for an hour, bland or overcooked chicken, and a delivered kofta platter described as smelly and undercooked. A separate complaint reported plastic in rice. Prices can feel high in-store, so check noon Food or Keeta for discounts; adding fries to a sandwich was reported at 6 AED.
