"It's a great place to get a quick meal, the food was ohk, expected kind of, but the meet was straigt from the oven, had to wait for the meat to cool down. Like all places on the affordable side in this economoy, the place was pcked, but I managed to get a seat, and had my meal. The atmosphere is not so great considering that it is right there, bang in the middle off a very busy taxi rank, so lots of people on them streets, very noisy also, and yeh another, thing, if you are driving, forget about gettting parking anwhere close by."

"I was there moments ago, I bought Double Big Boss no chips and 4 Zambia wings first time ever I enjoy food from hungry Lion, unfortunately I don't remember the cashier's name, she was such a sweetheart and quiet friendly, and then the guy who gave me my order was the cherry on top, lol he didn't understand why my order didn't have chips shame, I am not a fan of chips. Whoever prepared my burger deserves to be head chef, when I ate it I tasted the love that it was prepared with, presentation looked amazing, the spicy chillies sauce sealed the deal for me, my first experience at hungry lion bloed mall was top class, you guys deserve more love."

"Very friendly employees. But the food doesn't appear the same as in the menu. The ice cream was very small, although I chose the biggest (mint tart), I didn't receive value for the price, but the food quality is top"
