Mzansi comments on Hungry Lion review

Hundreds of social media users headed to the man's comment section to express their thoughts about his take on the Hungry Lion items he tasted.

While some South Africans admitted that they had not yet tried the items on the menu, others deemed the fast-food chain underrated and better than other chicken restaurants Mzansi has to offer.

"You can never go wrong with Hungry Lion. The Zamba Wings are good."

@travellermovingforward1 stated their opinion in the comment section:

"Hungry Lion is actually overtaking KFC. The way they make their chicken so crispy fresh and soft, I was never disappointed about a Hungry Lion meal. I can't say that about KFC."
