Multi-award-winning chilli pickle brand, Naga King, are launching a sizzling hot, spice-infused takeaway in Leeds.
Do you think you can handle the heat? Well this new takeaway might just be the one for you.
Naga King will be using one of the world's hottest chillies as their key ingredient and as of Friday 7 October 2022, they'll be serving up flaming hot fast food favourites to spice lovers across Leeds.
The company first made waves in the food industry with its range of hot pickles made from the Naga Morich chilli pepper, which was recorded as the world’s hottest chilli by Guinness World Records before being surpassed by the Carolina Reaper in 2017.
The team are now incorporating their signature, spicy flavours into popular takeaway dishes. Think fiery doner kebabs to hot wings that will set your tongue alight, as well as deliciously crisp smash burgers which make for the perfect cheat day treat.

They will be the first spice-infused takeaway in Leeds and we can't wait to see if we can handle the heat.
Not only that, but the first 100 customers to place an order through the website on launch night will get a smash burger for just 99p, what a winner.
Located in Burley on Weaver Street, Naga King will operate as a cloud kitchen, meaning that orders placed online will be available for kerbside collection or delivery through popular platforms such as Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat.

Jad Choudhury, founder & CEO of Naga King, said: “We’re excited to be taking Naga King in a new direction and putting our chilli-infused twist on the comforting takeaway dishes that are already so popular in Leeds. We’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of flavour and we hope to fill the gap in the fast food options that are purely aimed towards lovers of hot and spicy food.
“We hope that this will be just the beginning for the Naga King fast food brand and our aim is to reach as many people as possible with our dishes. We look forward to serving up our chilli-infused menu for the first time and challenge Leeds’ fast food lovers to give a hot and spicy meal a try!”

One of the city's best independents is expanding into a bigger premises.
Shokupan on Wellington Street is a proper little gem that food-lovers across Leeds will rave nonstop about if given the opportunity.
Husband and wife team Alan and Alison took inspiration from trips around the world to bring a taste of Japan to the city and over the past few years it's gained a loyal following.
They're famed for their delicious Japanese sandos made with pillow-like fluffy shokupan bread, stuffed with everything from crunchy chicken katsu and flavourful pork to fresh strawberries and whipped cream.
But it's not all just about sandwiches, they also serve rice bowls and katsu curries as well as small bites such as chicken karaage and octopus balls.
Their food is so bloody good, that they've had to find a better location and this time it's slap bang in the city centre on Central Road.
And they're joining brilliant company too, with the likes of House of Koko and Vinyl Grounds as neighbours.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Shokupan said: "You guessed right…we are moving to Central Road, LS1 6DE. We are nearly there…

"All the building work is complete and now we are finishing off the decorating. You might also start to see some signage appearing over the next few days…It has been lovely seeing some of our customers dropping by to see us whilst we slowly lose our sanity.
"Powered on caffeine and determination! Not long to go before we can announce our opening date and welcome you through the doors."
We can't wait to check out the new space, keep an eye on their opening date here.
Cult favourite burger chain Burgerism is officially coming to Leeds this August
Clementine Hall
An award-winning burger chain is coming to one of Leeds' suburbs.
If you don't know Burgerism, then get to know.
The Manchester-based burger chain is known by many for its incredible smash patties and quick, reliable service.
Their concept is simple: good burgers made with quality ingredients and cooked fresh to order. Delicious.
And it's not just burgers, they've also got some great wings and fries available too with a range of homemade sauces on offer for dunking, drizzling and devouring. We're a particular fan of the buffalo wings with their garlic ranch dip.
The chain used to have a dark kitchen on the outskirts of the city where people could order via Deliveroo, however this closed down and since then there's been a Burgerism-shaped hole left in our foodie scene.

Burgerism recently applied to move into a vacant shop unit in Meanwood at 605 Meanwood Road, seeking change-of-use planning permission for the former Papa Johns site which was previously only allowed to serve...well, pizzas.
And the plans have now been approved, which means Burgerism will officially be coming to Leeds. Hurray!
Burgerism's new takeaway will be walking distance from the The Meanwood Tavern, perfect for those looking for some post-pint burgers.
It will be strictly takeaway with no dine-in option available.
The brand-new Burgerism will employ 15 people from the local area with food being served between 11am and 11pm.
We'll keep you up to date as and when we find out more, but for now we're aware that Burgerism Leeds is set to open this August.
