Customer Review Summary

The one dissenting reviewer came for oxtail and white rice and found the oxtail tasteless in a curry mutton style gravy. They report dumplings and butter beans that fell apart at the first poke of a fork, rice that tasted like it was cooked days earlier, and staff who seemed apathetic, with mismatched seating and confusing walls. Others describe getting extra food to take back, and several say they plan to return.

    “Wow wow wow! Yesterday I finally reached Tasty Willows after hearing about their food for a long time. The food did not disappoint, absolutely scrumptious, the ingredients tasted fresh, the rice and peas was the best I’ve had outside of carnival. This food taste like it’s cooked with love, something the other Caribbean food shops lost a long time ago. I had a medium Ox-tail meal with rice and peas. There was plenty of carrots and butter beans, just how I like it. Nice quality oxtail meat with really good ratio of meat to fattyness on it. Best yard food I’ve had for years and years. The dumplings were so fluffy and fresh. Still can’t believe I’ve missed out this long. Keep doing what you’re doing because the food fire 🔥”

    “Sorry Tasty Willows…I came out hoping to get some good oxtail and white rice, but it was tastless. It looked like it was in curry mutton gravy. It was inedible. It looked unappetising from the counter. That should have told me to get down to Radford ends. The dumplings and butter bean disintegrated into the mush with one poke of the fork. The white rice looked and tasted like old rice cooked from Monday. As soon as i walked in and saw the decor, confusing walls and mismatched seating and the apathy from staff i should have left.”
