It all started with a simple idea: to take the vibrant, bold flavours of India’s streets and make them accessible to everyone. Back in 2013, Rola Wala began as a humble street food pop-up, travelling across the UK, bringing a new twist to Indian cuisine. We weren’t just about food; we wanted to bring a feeling—the electric energy of the streets of Kolkata, the spice markets of Delhi, and the rooftop cafés of Mumbai, all rolled into one.
Big flavours, low guilt. That’s been our promise since day one. We’ve always believed you shouldn’t have to compromise on taste to eat something that’s good for you, which is why our dishes are packed with protein, with many under 500 calories, and full of flavour.
But like all good stories, ours had its challenges. When COVID hit, we—like many—had to adapt. The world may have changed, but our mission stayed the same: to bring people together through bold, healthy, and delicious food. From pop-ups to food markets, and our first restaurant in Leeds, we kept the fire alive. Through lockdowns and uncertainty, the loyalty of our community kept us going.
In 2023, we took the next step in our journey with the opening of Rola Wala Manchester. A new city, a fresh challenge, but the same mission: to share the food we love with even more people. Whether you’ve been with us since the street food days or are just discovering us now, we’re excited for what’s ahead.
Join us as we continue to shake up the fast food scene with big, bold Indian flavours that make you feel good—inside and out.
