Brought my bag for life for transportation purposes only - 'they' don't sell this quality of cuisine. Back from Tasty Willows with Chicken, Curried Mutton and Fish. Hong Kong Phooey would say more than 'FAN-RIFFIC', if his baxide was about to devour this portion of chicken right now...

I went there for the first time today and the food was amazing. The coleslaw, the mutton, the jerk! Very nice i definitely will be returning. Even the service the lady and man was really lovely and helpful, you do not get that in the yard shops in places like radford. I would definitely recommend . Thankyou!

Just got in with 4x soup, 4x festival and 2x mutton and rice. The food is so good, one meal is not enough. Haven't tasted better, since moving up from London a few years ago. Staff are almost as nice as the food... Cannot find a fault - except for them not being around the corner from my house. A couple of soups have already been demolished. If their food was in the Mary Poppins movie, it would be scrumdiliocious!

Really good food. A must try. I went for the jerk chicken with rice and beans along with a side of Mac and cheese topped with mutton gravy/curry.
