Rola Wala

In all honesty, it’s super rare that I find myself opting for fast food, or at least food from a convenience or fast food restaurant. I work from home, and Robbie and I both love cooking, so we’re usually cooking fresh for most of our meals daily. Which I love! And when I do eat out, this is usually in more of a restaurant setting, for a date night or a planned lunch with friends or family. I just never find myself out and about, needing a quick solution, and actually if I ever do feel that way, the options are all quite unhealthy, meaning I’d rather grab a snack and wait until I’m home. I think that over the years, the lack of healthy-but-still-delicious options have just meant that I now don’t even consider this sort of meal anymore. But that might be about to change with Rola Wala!

I was recently invited down to Rola Wala’s Manchester Restaurant. Described as your favourite Indian takeaway and Subway having a baby – this immediately piqued my interest! I love Indian food and although I’m not a big Subway fan, I love the concept of being able to add different flavours and ingredients to personalise your meal. I also saw that most of their main meals actually come in at under 500 calories. Perfect for a delicious, filling and fresh lunch.

Rola Wala

Rola Wala was brought to the UK by Aussie traveller, Mark Wright. He discovered these epic flavours when travelling the Kolkata backstreets, Bombay beaches, and Keralan waterways. And since then he’s been on a journey to bring the incredible experience of Indian street food to the UK, in a fast fresh format.

Rola Wala (meaning, ‘man that rolls’ in Hindi, a reference to their famous naan rolls), started life as a street food stall in London. Winning the hearts of customers, critics, TV chefs and the media, Rola Wala opened their first restaurant in Trinity Leeds.

Since then, Rola Wala has featured in a Hollywood movie (‘Burnt’, starring Bradley Cooper), been voted ‘London’s Best Wrap’ by Rita Ora and the team at Saturday Kitchen (BBC One), featured on Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook: London, and even made a cameo appearance on Jamie Olivers Friday Night Feasts!

Review

After seeing a few people post on socials about Rola Wala, I was actually really looking forward to my visit. We visited for a Friday lunch treat and it definitely loved up to the hype. Just choose your main dish, and then your meat or veggie to fill this, and then you can go wild on the salads, there is loads to choose from and these are all free. Subway is the perfect reference for how you can personalise and add different ingredients to your meal, but this is 110% better. Finally add any sauces, snacks and drinks, and enjoy!

We tried the naan roll – I had seen too many delicious-looking photos of this, how could I not? Plus the tacos, along with a couple of drinks and mini poppadoms for snacking. We also tried a mix of meat and veggie options. I’m not veggie but I always like to try those just so I can give a fair review. Honestly both were super tasty and I’d happily order the veggie options again. If you are a meat-lover, 100% try the lamb in the naan roll. What a dream combo!

Rola Wala has definitely won me over, and is a very welcome addition to the healthy fast food scene for me. I would totally visit here if I fancied a nice lunch, and you can also Deliveroo them!

The Manchester branch of Rola Wala is located on Deansgate, and you can visit their website here for more info.

📍Snaps from our stay at @deadwoodcabins 🤠🇺🇸🌵 a dreamy Wild West inspired retreat in rural Lincolnshire with the cutest cabins, cosy log fires and the best neighbours Dolly and Doris 🐷 cannot recommend this place enough for a little glamping getaway 👌 it was so nice to have a bit of a digital detox - the cabins have games and a private BBQ (you can pre-order food for the BBQ which will be in your fridge when you arrive) so we spent the night cooking dinner and smores, playing scrabble and drinking mulled wine in front of the fire 🥰 there are three different cabins to choose from and all of them are filled with souvenirs and trinkets that make each one unique. There’s also a saloon if you want to go hang (BYOB or there’s an honesty box for beers from the fridge) and you can help yourself to fresh chicken eggs for breakfast too 🍳 thank you to @paarriiee for being such a lovely host, can’t wait to come back 🖤

‘Ndu Y’Olive Me? YES @nellspizza I do 🍕❤️ 
There’s some new menu items that have made it straight to the top of my faves list, including a chopped salad, moreish garlicky dough bites, and a pizza with nduja, olives, vodka sauce and basil 👌 ALSO the cocktails are SO underrated here - the margs are top tier and their new seasonal drinks are a must try. Will be back for the pistachio ice cream sandwich (so hard not to prioritise eating as much pizza as possible and save room for dessert but I will manage it one day) ✌️

NYC day 6 ✌️ 🖤 started with mimosas on our NYC day 6 ✌️
🖤 started with mimosas on our rooftop. Waking up to the nyc skyline is my fave.
🖤 we got the subway to @citifield to watch the @mets ⚾️🏟️ so much fun - would definitely recommend doing this if you’re visiting. The whole experience was one of my favourites of the trip.
🖤 A little wander and some vintage shops on the way back to the hotel before getting ready for dinner.
🖤 Dinner at @ivan_ramen 🍜👌 easily the best ramen I’ve ever had (thanks to @josgoncalves91 for the recommendation - SO glad I went here and would definitely recommend to anyone else. Watch the chefs table episode on Netflix.)
🖤 ended the eve with a couple of amazing cocktail bars - @superbuenonyc (no.2 in North America’s 50 best bars) and @attaboy134 (22 in the worlds 50 best bars)🍸 unsurprisingly both up there on my list of favourite cocktails. Also both really lovely atmospheres and would 10000% return. Attaboy have no menu but you just tell them what you like and what you’re in the mood for and they make you something incredible 👌 it’s also hidden behind a very normal looking door (last pic) so you gotta knock to get in.
Superbueno is Mexican-American, a really fun vibe and also serve food 🌮

Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 Autumn menu PERFECTION at @evelynscafebar ✨👌 one my favourite evenings at one of my favourite spots, and the food is so so good. The menu is mostly small plates (with some biggies in there too) so it’s perfect for sharing with some bottles of wine ofc. 💕
My faves are the Tuna Crudo, BBQ Mackerel (the best mackerel I’ve ever eaten), the steak is 10/10 and honestly Evelyn’s is one of my fave places for the veggie dishes! Oh and the lamb. AND the dessert! Okay I’ll stop. If the fact that every dish on the menu being great isn’t enough to get you there, they also offer 50% off wine 5-7pm weekdays 🍷 which is surely one of the best happy hours in town?! 
20/10 always great and this menu might be the best yet!
