A popular independent Indian street food brand is giving 10 hungry fans the chance to win free lunches for a year
It’s been 10 years since the first Rola Wala opened its doors in the UK, and to properly mark this decade-long anniversary, the brand will be celebrating its commitment to bringing authentic Indian flavours to foodies across Leeds with a massive giveaway.
Kicking off from the brand’s official birthday today (12 November), and running until Tuesday 26 November, 10 coveted ‘black cards’ will be up for grabs.
That means that ten lucky winners will get to tuck into the brand’s special naan rolls for an entire year – with every person entering also receiving an exclusive discount on their next visit too.
Unfamiliar with Rola Wala? The brand’s ‘build-your-own’ concept allows diners to choose their own filling, and combine them perfectly with fresh salads, herbs, pickles, and chutney, while also pairing that with a range of unmissable sides – including crispy masala fries, Rola rings, cookies, and more.
Rola Wala founder, Mark Wright, described the past 10 years as “a flavour-packed journey”, adding that it’s “far from over”.
“We’re really excited to be celebrating 10 years of Rola Wala by giving back to our communities in Manchester with this huge giveaway,” Mark explained.

“As we come into our second decade of business, we are entering a new era where we’re committed to combining our street food DNA with a vibey ‘fast hospitality’ food experience, driven by our passion and a relentless focus on quality service – shown by our launch in Manchester last year.”
Fancy being in with a chance of winning a ‘black card’ then?
To participate in the 10th anniversary celebrations, all you need to do is sign up for Rola Wala’s ‘Spice Club’ loyalty scheme from today until 26 November.
From there, you’ll be guaranteed a discount on your next visit, and also get your name put into the prize draw for free naan rolls for a year.

Now you're talking our language.
Souvlaki Corner told The Hoot: "We’re excited to confirm that Souvlaki Corner will be opening a new site in Morley, Leeds. Our targeted opening is in around four weeks, although we don’t have an exact opening date yet and will confirm this closer to the launch.
"One of the highlights of the new restaurant will be a traditional Greek spit where we will cook whole lamb in the proper Greek way. It will be cooked over charcoal to give the authentic Greek flavour that people would experience in Greece.

"Our chefs are Greek, bringing authentic knowledge and experience from Greece. The interior design will also reflect the style of the Greek islands, so when people visit they will feel like they are stepping into a little part of Greece."
They continued: "Souvlaki Corner was created to bring authentic Greek street food to Leeds, focusing on freshly grilled souvlaki, gyros, and traditional flavours served quickly and affordably. Since launching our first location, the response from customers has been fantastic, and Morley felt like the natural next step as we continue to grow."
