In her viral video, the woman who goes by the TikTok handle @zandileradebe showcased her entire meal, expressing excitement as it was her first-ever time trying the brand’s food.
@zandileradebe began her review by tasting the chicken tenders, dipping them into a sauce and exclaiming the following:
"These were actually good, I was actually shooked! I wish you guys had bullied me into trying Hungry Lion sooner, cause girl, I had no idea the food was actually this good."
Next, she tried the chips, describing them as well-seasoned and saying they were "fine." When it came to the chicken pieces, @zandileradebe explained that she had both a spicy and a normal portion. "The spicy one, ahh, guys! Too good," she said with enthusiasm, adding that while the regular chicken was "okay," the spicy version was her clear favourite.
The food lifestyle blogger then moved on to the burger, which she rated a solid 9 out of 10. The meal, which also included a mini Coca-Cola, impressed her with its quality and quantity, leading her to describe it as great value for money.
@zandileradebe also mentioned that she had travelled all the way to town just to try Hungry Lion and playfully called on the company to open more branches across the country. While taking to her TikTok caption, she joked by saying:
"This is NOT a paid promo, so please. Hungry Lion review."
Her honest and lively review caught the attention of Hungry Lion’s official page, which responded warmly, saying:
"So glad you loved it!! Thank you for the great video. We just opened our 500th store and have plans for many, many more."
The video that the TikTok content creator @zandileradebe shared gained many views, along with thousands of likes and comments, since it was published on 28 October 2025, with Mzansi netizens flooding the comments with praise, sharing their own love for the brand and agreeing that Hungry Lion’s spicy chicken is unmatched.
