HUNGRYLL — Restaurant in Rochdale

I was driving through Rochdale so I visited Hungryll after noticing its impressive 4.8 out of 5 rating on Google and thought it must be excellent. Unfortunately, I couldn't have been more mistaken.

We were among the first customers of the evening, with the restaurant opening at 4:30 pm and our collection scheduled for 4:50 pm but the order wasn't ready for a further 20 mins, I left the premises with my order at around 5:10pm probably later. We ordered the Naga wings (from the two available options on the menu - Naga SFC wings and Naga wings, assuming the latter would be grilled), a plain smash burger, a single kobeda, a full peri-peri chicken with Naga sauce, and rice.

The Naga wings arrived coated in batter and smothered in a sweet, red sauce that seemed to be a blend of mango chutney, Naga pickle, and red food colouring, a horrible experience. The full chicken, divided into four quarters, was initially promising but quickly disappointed. It wasn't peri-peri as expected, but rather drenched in the same red mixture and excessively dry, making it difficult to swallow. The chicken was undoubtedly not fresh, likely from the previous night. The kobeda had a powdery texture and was also extremely dry, suggesting it was either from the night before or frozen. The naan bread accompanying the kebab was undercooked around the edges leaving it doughy, and the smash burger, although not as dry, was very bland.

Moreover, I had ordered rice with the whole chicken, but they called to inform me it wouldn't be ready, so I requested an extra portion of salad instead. The salad never arrived. The free garlic bread was not worth mentioning as it was dreadful, and the additional free smash burger that was promised never materialised either.

I will certainly not be returning to Hungryll. Fortunately, Rossendale offers many other excellent...

The owner wanted to correct the issues I had with the venue when it initially opened. I gave brother the benefit of the doubt. And placed another order........

Naga wings were by FAR the best wings I've potentially ate in my entire life! Huge/top quality wings. In a crisp SFC type coating. Doused in a slightly sweet Naga type glaze. I could have ate these all day every day!

OG Smash, and Desi Smash Burgers. Mrs absolutely annihilated her OG. Mine was almost Seekh spiced. Mouth watering little kick of chilli and dry spice. Patty was perfectly prepared with a slight moisture in the center. Surrounded by a perfect high quality smash crust, seasoning, cheese, bun... Flawless!

Meat feast pizza. The first pizza I've had this year, where top quality proteins take over the cheese and tomato base pallet. Almost like a mixed grill toast. I could normally destroy a full pizza. But a couple of slices in. I was content, yet still wanting more! Pizza oven was properly heated (unlike 99% of takeouts nowadays)

Generic frozen fries. Yet fried perfectly. Seasoned with a good chip spice

Also got a spicy chikken tikka curry to try tomorrow.... And it's rare I state this ...... But I cannot wait!

This is the BEST desi fast food I've potentially ever had! And don't let my wording out you off.... This is...

Upon arrival parking was very easy to get right outside the restaurant. Free of charge with no return within the hour. The service from the get go was not to be faulted, the mannerism gave off a very welcoming experience thank you to Salik the owner greatly appreciate our feedback and custructive critisism we gave and was happy to recieve our comments. To say they have only been open 3 weeks, the food quality and price was amazingly flavourful and priced just right. The Dish Me and my sister had was the mega Box for £9.95 X2 smash burgers with all salad and in-house sauce X4 chicken wings with slective flavours. Good portion of donner meat and spices and chips with in-house sauce. The place is very well designed visually that it doesn't even feel like your average takeaway. They have some new dishes coming to the menu also that sounded fire 🔥 also they have the possible idea of a morning breakfast routine spoke of in...
