We had an awesome experience at Calistos in Fordsburg. Service was great and fast and the food was even better. Appreciate the SANHA certification as well.They've got salaah facilities and a place to make wudhu which is super convenient.The kids fish fingers (real fish fillets not the supermarket box stuff) were really nice and cannot say enough good things about the Rump in the Oven.

That place where you can unwind after a long week of classes, tests and assignments.Just inside the University of the Witwatersrand (convenient for students right?:)). Overall, it's a great place with a very chilled out atmosphere.

This restaurant has very nice decor and its menu complements it.The food was very tasty. The prawns, calamari, and chicken were prepared Portuguese style and all were excellent choices. The vegetables and King Clip also did not disappoint. The service good and food arrived warm. It was kept in a burner.Itâs a nice visit.4.4/5

A brightly lit, fast-paced, and very loud restaurant. We chose this restaurant based upon its reputation and were disappointed. Rather than an elegant and relaxing evening we were rushed the entire evening by an overly aggressive waiter who seemed to want to get rid of us as soon as possible. The food was only average. One example would be the grilled kingclip that had no indication of being grilled. There were no grill marks nor flavor. Overall, our visit was quite disappointing.

Seafood, sushi, grill and deli. At Willoughby & Co we believe that simple food is good food. Our fresh line fish is sourced directly from local suppliers and filleted in-house and grilled to unlock all delicious flavours without smothering it in sauces.

Our family have been Willoughby regulars both in Johannesburg and Cape Town for at least the past 20 years. Unfortunately, whereas the Cape Town Willoughbys has maintained its standards, the same cannot be said for the Johannesburg restaurant. It is tired and everything about it from the food to the decor and the service is the same. It's as if they are merely going through the motions of pretending to be a restaurant.We ate there this past week after a long break and the six king prawns I ordered were not only small - the size of queens at best - but five not six were originally served. They were so overcooked that the flesh stuck to the shell making it all but impossible to eat with a knife and fork. No piri piri was served as originally ordered and it only arrived midway through the meal. I mean how long does it take to fill a small jug with the sauce and bring it to the table?When our waiter enquired about the food, I pointed out the problem with my prawns and, to be fair, he offered to replace them but by then my guests were half way through their main courses and by the time my substitute meal would have arrived I would be keeping everyone waiting and we all had places to be after lunch.And how difficult is it to serve ice cream? Three people in our party ordered the ice cream on the very limited desert menu - one scoop each of chocolate, strawberry and vanilla. Except we were served with three bowls which contained all chocolate, all strawberry and all vanilla, respectively. Not a big deal I know but still. The leather on the chairs was frayed and the wooden table top sticky. The wholesome, farm style, brown bread served with the meals had been replaced with small, doughy, white rolls. The usually full restaurant was all but empty as opposed to JB Rivers and Tashas in the same building which were almost full. Sorry, but Willoughbys in Johannesburg is like bad wine - to be laid down and avoided.

This restaurant is located in the heart of the city of Johannesburg. It has a unique ambience with lots of interesting signs hanging all around. Customer service is extremely friendly and courteous. Food menu appears decent with a variety of options to choose. Taste of food items was unique. Pricing was affordable making it a great value for money. This is a hidden gem of a restaurant.

The hotel is not in greatest part of town so taxis are recommended to get about. The hotel was a great price and very central near many of the tourist attractions. The owner is very helpful and was full of good advice. The room was in good to fair condition but reflects the price. The restaurant is great and thoroughly recommended.

Reviewed By adventuressCA
Fun ambiance and service superb. That doesnât make up for fact fish was rubbery and not properly cooked. Seasoning was uneventful. Hoped for more peri peri taste although they had sauce in table. Not the same as grilled with sauce. Liver starter excellent. Also excellent security getting in and out from street. Sketchy neighborhood way off the grid. Take taxi not safe.

We enjoyed our meal so much we went back for dinner the following night..not only because of food but server. Prices were reasonable and a nice ambiance . Also, the manager was very kind and greeted us and had a pleasant discussion both times.
