At a time of national crisis and reports that over one million emergency food parcels have been handed out to children across the UK. This campaign won’t reduce the number of families that have to rely on food banks, but hopes to offer a treat to those who are struggling to afford to go out.
Mark Wright, founder of Rola Wala said: "We’re all going through difficult financial times, so it was important for us to try and help where we can and show that we really care about the community. Covid hit us like everybody else, but we’re back. So we’re thrilled to be able to offer everyone in Leeds a free and tasty meal, encouraging locals to come and join us on the day.
"There really is no limit - If one hundred thousand people turn up on the day, we will feed them. We know that the cost-of-living crisis isn’t going to be fixed overnight but hopefully offering everyone across the region a free and healthy meal will go a little way in helping out. And what better way to spread joy across the city as everyone gets together to enjoy a free and fresh healthy Indian street food inspired treat."
The eatery is said to offer pic flavours discovered on Kolkata backstreets, Bombay beaches, and Keralan waterways led Aussie traveller Mark Wright on a journey to bring the incredible experience of Indian street food to the UK, in a fast fresh format.
Matt added: "What started as a passion for Indian food and flavours is today the result of the collective energy of an entire team that work to bring high quality, fresh Indian flavours to customers across the UK every day – Our mission is to ignite spaces everywhere with incredible Indian flavours, It really is that simple."
Rola Wala (meaning, ‘man that rolls’ in Hindi, a reference to our famous naan rolls), 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, and even made a cameo appearance on Jamie Oliver's Friday Night Feasts.
Since serving its first customer back in 2016, Rola Wala has used its business as a force for good, providing a free school meal to hungry children across the world for every naan roll that is sold, through its partnership with charity One Feeds Two. The Indian Street Food vendor was the first UK restaurant to support the organisation in its quest to end world hunger and has already provided over 800,000 free school meals across the nation as part of the initiative.
