Feedback on Hungry Lion Claremont Main Road. (Hospitality and Gastronomy) in Cape Town (Western Cape)
Description
If you find yourself cruising down Claremont Main Road in Cape Town and your stomach starts growling, Hungry Lion is a spot you just might want to check out. Nestled on Ralph St, this chicken joint has been serving up some finger-lickin’ meals since ‘97, though I’ve gotta say, it’s been a bit of a mixed bag lately.
Let’s talk chicken. Now, I’m not saying it’ll change your life, but there’s something about their crispy fried chicken that brings a moment of joy. Those big portions? Gotta love ‘em! Perfect for when you’re in a hurry or just feel like indulging. But, and it’s a big but, the service can be a bit hit or miss. Sometimes, you’re met with a warm smile; other times, it’s like the staff woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
And speaking of misses, there are quite a few folks who’ve had their orders messed up. I mean, who wants to wait forever, only to find out their double crunch meal was really just one burger sliced in half? Not cool, right?
But don’t let that scare you off entirely! I’ve heard some rave about how perfect a late-night snack is here. Open daily from 9 AM to 9 PM, it’s a lifesaver for late-night munchers. Plus, it’s halal, so you’re covered if that’s your jam.
If you’ve got kids, they’re welcome here too. Just be warned: keep that patience handy—especially during busy times. Honestly, it’s all about managing expectations. Sure, there are some rough edges, but hey, sometimes comfort food can make the wait worthwhile. If you’re lucky, you might just walk out with a smile and a full belly.
