Cafe Zia, Battersea

Our Review of the Week winner, Henry, was feeling very emotional after enjoying his takeaway from Cafe Zia (furthering our hunch that a proper meal with the right flavours inspires poetic verse). His takeaway was so good, he was nearly unable to translate the language of his taste buds into mere words. Fortunately for us, he did.

We believes Henry was channeling a certain bard when he wrote this review. This belief was solidified when he ended his review with a metaphor linking naan to a cuddle from heaven. Henry wins £25 because we want him to have another "party in his mouth."  

We now give you the a heart felt review about a man and his Indian takeaway.

Ocean City, Middlesex

There are so many legitimate reasons to treat oneself to a takeaway that hungryhouse stopped counting at #306. Our Review of the Week winner Michael has put "living in an airport hotel" at the top of the "legitimate reasons to order takeaway list."

We're not going to disagree with you, Heathrow Airport is a lovely place to indulge in relaxation and comfort - we all know that. However, Michael was looking for a little something more. hungryhouse app and Ocean City to the rescue!

Michael wins £25 from hungryhouse that he can spend at any of our partner restaurants, we're not going to limit him to that hotel.

Chinese New Year in Numbers

Millions and billions aren't numbers you hear everyday, unless of course you're talking about China. The Lunar New Year that began on 23 January has put the rabbit back in its hole and made way for the mighty dragon. hungryhouse knows exactly where the nations appetite is heading for Chinese New Year - directly to the fried rice!

hungryhouse did the maths for Chinese New Year and as you may have suspected, we are counting in millions. Remember to think about those 25 million trees while you enjoy Chinese takeaway this week.

Do these numbers stack up?

Tony's Fish and Pizza Bar, Selly Oak

Stage lights on, assemble worshipers, queue the music - the Divine Dough has arrived! Our Review of the Week winner, Samantha, confesses her passionate love for Tony's Fish and Pizza Bar.

There's enough love in this review to warrant a marriage proposal, spontaneous expression of loyalty via social media, and a "Last Meal" request.

Oh yeah, she also mentions the food. Samantha wins £25 from hungryhouse for leaving a review that reminds us how delightful a good takeaway experience can be.

It Tastes Like Chicken Ma!

The Chinese year of the rabbit is on its last leg and hungryhouse.co.uk is curious about what the year of the dragon will bring. As a result of dishing out Chinese takeaway all year, of course hungryhouse has food on the mind.

While some may find it exotic, eating rabbit is quite common in the UK - especially among fine dinning restaurants keeping up with culinary trends. This got hungryhouse thinking about edible dragons. Well, edible reptiles that is.

SOPA Blackout: hungryhouse answers your questions

You're hip. You trend topics on Twitter, you've got a blog, you order takeaway online. But let's not pretend you don't use Wikipedia to answer those burning questions like, 'what is Zumba' or 'how to snog' (we're not making this stuff up, 'how to snog' was the second most googled 'how to' question in the UK in 2011. 'How to flirt' was number 7).

So what will you do on 18 January when the English version of Wikipedia and other information sources blackout in protest of SOPA? Fear not fellow web surfers, hungryhouse is planning ahead and has created a list of potential questions you may need answered (or are curious about) while ordering your takeaway.

Kismat Tandoori, South Norwood

Some things just don't fit (no, we're not talking about your trousers from year twelve. Toss them out, they will never fit again). hungryhouse is talking about food pairings that sound so odd you can only imagine a military stand-off in your mouth.

Our Review of the Week winner, Michael, proves our naive taste buds wrong with his brilliant reasoning behind the combination of a sugary coconut naan and anything spicy. His review of Kismat Tandoori dares us to venture beyond the usual, even though our comfort zone of chicken tikka masala with PLAIN naan is oh so comfy.

Michael wins £25 for his review that is sure to create a coconut following.

May Va, Islington

It has been said that the first day of a new year will represent the entire year to come. If that's the case, let it begin with delicious food!

Our Review of the Week winner did exactly that by starting off 2012 with a tasty meal from May Va. Lu and her friends were in recovery mode from the previous nights celebration (as was most of the world) and were delighted to have someone else do the cooking and the dishes. There was a minor battle over the limited number of spring rolls, but our friend Lu managed to come out on top.

Lu can order a double portion of spring rolls next time, because she has won £25 from hungryhouse for her review.
