So far this year, what’ve you eaten more than anything else? Obsessed with eating posh crisps for starter? Still hooked on smash burgers? If you’ve been wondering what Brits will be into on a nationwide level this year, here’s just the thing.

Uber Eats has revealed the nation”s eating habits by naming its ‘hottest bites to look out for in 2025’. The takeaway delivery app’s list is made up of food items growing in popularity the most right now, predicting the year’s go-to dishes.

Topped by the Pad Thai at Rosa’s Thai, the list features plenty of popular restaurant brand names across the country. Among all those big brands, however, Going Greek’s Chicken Gyro impressively places second. Going Greek currently only has six branches – all in and around north and east London.
