**Win a free £25 takeaway voucher!**

When offered a free [takeaway](http://hungryhouse.co.uk), one never says no. Especially during the exam period, when going to the supermarket feels like too decisive a form of procrastination. (Procrastination can never be overtly productive; it must appear useless and unfulfilling). So I accepted the offer of reviewing a few meals for [**hungryhouse**](http://hungryhouse.co.uk) - an internet portal for ordering takeaways - and celebrated the prospect of countless MSG-stuffed foil packages arriving at my door.  The menus are online; just choose dishes to place in your basket, decide upon a method of payment and await your food. All very easy, no human interaction and no frustrated repetitions shrieked down the phone.

If you would like to apply for the £25 voucher [**hungryhouse**](http://hungryhouse.co.uk) are offering, just follow [THIS LINK](http://fb.hungryhouse.co.uk/mancunion/) and type in your details.

**Sayuri at The Friendship Inn**

Amongst other things, we ordered prawn toasts, crispy shredded beef, special fried rice and a vegetarian version of duck with hoisin pancakes. It was enjoyable, but nothing was all that special.

**Indian Spice**

A respectable peshwari naan, chicken korma and rice were delivered but only after an hour and half had passed - not good enough for hungry people!

This Indian was amazing! I had a delicious and massive keema madras, others had a lamb bhuna, pasanda and a chicken rogan josh that went down equally as well. I would order again, but be wary of the profound quantities of oil that exude from every dish.

**Bite All**

From this American takeaway we ordered a 14” meat pizza for £10.50, which I would recommend as a much cheaper alternative to Domino’s. It was the thickness of a doorstep and covered in meat; can’t go far wrong there.

**Ming Chef**

This oddly-titled Chinese is definite winner of the takeaways. This baby got me through a very late night of panicked coursework and fed us the next day too. Not only was all the food delicious, but we got free spring rolls, free fortune cookies and a free dragon calendar! They also do a few Japanese dishes, such as prawn dumplings, which were delicious although peculiar-looking. I’ll be ordering from Ming Chef again.
