Move Over Turkey – Rola Wala’s Christmas Special “The King” Has Arrived

If you’re looking to ditch the turkey this Christmas and indulge in something packed with spice, crunch, and festive flair, Rola Wala has you covered. The much-loved Indian street food brand has teamed up with The Sandwich King to create The King—a seasonal showstopper that promises to shake up your festive food traditions.

Available exclusively at Rola Wala in Leeds’ Trinity Kitchen from 28th November to 24th December, The King is a vibrant twist on a festive classic.

What’s in The King?

This bold creation takes Rola Wala’s signature footlong naan and transforms it into a winter warmer unlike any other. Choose from Nagaland lamb, chicken tikka, or slow-cooked masala beef as the base, then let the toppings work their magic.

Here’s the full festive line-up:

  • A rich, Indian-spiced beef gravy that’s Sunday roast-worthy but with an added kick.
  • Crispy onion bhajis for that all-important crunch.
  • Cool, tangy mint and lime raita to balance the heat.
  • Crushed poppadoms for an extra layer of texture.
  • The Sandwich King’s famous “Sandwich Glue,” a thick, indulgent drizzle courtesy of Thiccc Sauce.

For those who prefer their meals in a bowl, you can also request The King on a bed of Rola Wala’s flavour-packed pilau rice.

A Collaboration Fit for Food Royalty

Rola Wala founder Mark Wright said, “Teaming up with Chris felt like a no-brainer. It’s street food royalty meeting the king of sandwiches to create something outrageously tasty, packed with flavour… and Indian gravy??? We wanted to step away from those typical Christmas flavours and bring something different to the people of Leeds this festive season.”

Chris, aka The Sandwich King (@itssandwichking), said, “A taste of the North in an Indian roll – what more could you bloody want really…? We’ve spent a lot of time hand-selecting the best flavour combo to make sure this product is absolutely perfect… And believe me, it is! Can’t wait for you all to try. Enjoy the gravy!”

Why Rola Wala Stands Out

Since its humble beginnings as a market stall in East London, Rola Wala has spent the last decade bringing the vibrant flavours of Indian street food to the UK. Known for its bold, balanced flavours that hit all five tastes – sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami – the brand has earned fans far and wide.

Their menu is a perfect fusion of health and indulgence, featuring low-calorie, protein-packed dishes made fresh daily. Whether it’s their celebrated footlong naan rolls, customisable curry bowls, or unique naan tacos, every dish is packed with house-made chutneys, grilled meats, and vibrant salads.

From being crowned “London’s Best Wrap” by Rita Ora to making a cameo in Hollywood’s Burnt starring Bradley Cooper, Rola Wala’s reputation precedes it.

Where to Find The King

Head to Rola Wala at Trinity Kitchen, Leeds, to try The King for yourself. You’ve got until 24th December to experience this festive twist on street food perfection.
