We booked a table for a birthday celebration. We were seated right away. Staff was attentive and cordial. Food was delicious. We ordered the set meal, and it was worth the price! Atmosphere was very nice. Try to get a seat by the window. Great view.

Great place and really great location. We had food and drinks overlooking the river. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Was accommodating to allrgies, Wasn't waiting long for food and drinks and will definitely go again

Amazing service. Fantastic staff and a lovely atmosphere. We didn't book but they squeezed 3 of us in, and glad they did as the food was spot on. Everything made fresh to order and was lovely. Highly recommend. Of course book in advance to avoid disappointment.

The Restaurant offers a pleasant ambiance, providing a nice atmosphere for diners. However, the lack of parking on-site is a drawback, as customers are forced to navigate through a battered car park full of potholes, requiring a 5 to 6-minute walk to reach the restaurant. The food at Ego Restaurant is average, with the pizza being a notable example. While it's decent, it falls short of the authentic flavors found in other pizza establishments. Despite this, the overall dining experience is enjoyable, thanks to the inviting atmosphere and attentive service. Overall, Ego earns a rating of 3 stars. While it has its charms, including a pleasant ambiance and satisfactory service, improvements in parking convenience and culinary authenticity could enhance the overall dining experience.

Food was incredible and the staff were very attentive. Would recommend to anyone who likes a good bit of scran in a friendly atmosphere.

Had a lovely family meal here, food delicious, staff lovely, 2 for £12 on cocktails until 6pm. Restaurant is kept spotless and view of the river is so nice.

The food and service were lovely, as always 💯. The only downside was that the music was too loud on this occasion, at least for our personal preference. The paella was very good, I recommend it!

Excellent starter of salmon fishcake with poached egg but the main of chicken supreme was supremely dry. Everyone else in the party had a good meal so I've boosted the score from a 2.

Find yourself in Lichfield Staffordshire then Ego is well worth a visit. Quality food and excellent service in a good setting. Recommended.

Went to Ego’s restaurant for pre-theatre meal & drinks. Food was delicious & well presented, service was polite & efficient, nice views of the lake & cathedral. Took advantage of the 2 cocktails for £13 great value. We will definitely be going back.

Ego Mediterranean restaurant is a must-visit for anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. Located in the heart of the city, this restaurant is known for its amazing food and great ambiance. Though we hadn’t reserved the place we were greeted with warm and friendly staff and made our dining experience memorable. The interior of the restaurant is beautifully decorated which creates a relaxing and inviting atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant located at the edge of the town near the Cathedral, some of the seating overlooks Minster Pool. Lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly and helpful. Food is delicious and not too badly priced, good vegetarian choice too. Easy access for wheelchair users. Strongly suggest booking ahead online as it does get busy, you're unlikely to get a table just dropping by - especially on a Friday/Saturday evening. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed.

This place was truly amazing. As me and my friend walked in we was told it was full (and this place is huge) but there was one high stool table next to the bar available which we had. It was overlooking a lake. Beautiful scenery. Staff were so attentive to detail, the menu had so many tantalising options but eventually we opted for paella and the kebab special. Both were absolutely amazing. We really can't wait to re visit. It was definitely worth the 30 mile trek down 👌

Ego is always a nice venue and food is good. Unfortunately no "meet and greet" so had to wait quite a while to be booked in despite having booked previously. The waiter who eventually showed us to our table seemed far from happy just because we requested a window seat. Nonetheless a nice time was had.

I have never been disappointed with Lal Bagh, not once, we have eaten there half a dozen times and the food and service has always been impeccable. However, we decided to order online, and this is where their service was tested. I only received some of my order, I was missing rice, onion salad, a large cup of mint dip, this was around 11pm. I phoned to ask where the rest was and I was rather rudely told I had not ordered the items, they were clearly on the order, in response, they sent someone back with slightly warm boiled rice (I had ordered pilau) watery mint dip and again, no onion salad. Now, it was bank holiday and I can respect that they may have been busy, however, a takeaway should be treated the same as a dining customer, I would not have expected this if I was eating in. To some this may seem petty, I have always flown the flag for Lal Bagh, and with food ordering, once you've had a bad experience its very hard to ensure this will not be repeated, not too sure if I will use them again for a takeaway.

amazing food, extremely authentic and a large range of food on the menu, I loved the korma and onion bhaji, the staff were lovely as well. Although the place was packed and somewhat hard to move around, the service didn't suffer at all, our food came out so quickly and we couldn't get enough of it .

Really good fresh food. Worth a visit. Staff are lovely. It felt odd being sober in an Indian restaurant but nice not being asked to quieten down every 10 minutes.

This is reliably the best Indian Restaurant in Lichfield. Food is excellent - so tasty, well presented and generous portions. The Sunday Balti night and Wednesday banquet deals are really good value. I'm looking forward to my next visit! 😋

Amazing food tasted beautiful. Nothing was too much. Tried this place for the first time this evening. Will be returning. Very much enjoyed

Four of us went here because of a recommendation from a Lichfield local. We were not disappointed. Lovely food and great service. We will be coming back very soon.

Visited for the 1st time yesterday. Myself and the family are very experienced customers of these kinda places. Honestly; the place was fantastic. We had loads of different dishes, breads, rice, starters, they were all exceptional. The service was spot in and atmosphere couldn't have been better. Finding this place was on the back of a recommendation, and we also recommend it to you. Excellent.

I've used Lal Bagh means white tiger by the way, for 4 years now. They deliver to me in Handsacre, sometimes i collect. The food is absolutely gorgeous love my Lamb Rogan Josh vindaloo hot, lots of big chunks of lamb amazing. Very hot n spicy. Keema pilau rice is the best. There's alot of flavours going on at lal bagh. They give plentiful and quality this is why i return everytime. Even my work friends have switched to lal bagh. Love you guys keep up the good work.

Superb Indian restaurant in Lichfield. Great food and service. Recommended.

I’ve ordered from this restaurant 5 or 6 times in the past couple of years. Always excellent food. Some of the best takeaway curry I’ve ever had. There never forgotten any item when delivering. Prices are very reasonable too. Top notch!

We were motivated by the tripadvisor review. We couldn't eat because the poor service made us run. And the manager asks us if we can't pay for the food. Very unpleasant

Excellent service and food! Whilst the restaurant was busy, this did not impact on great, friendly customer service. Serves alcohol also as many curry houses you do bring your own.

Good food, busy little restaurant. Slow service. Would return perhaps hopefully get a quieter night

Really nice food, weird naan bread. Staff are a little slow to fetch you things, but very friendly.

My husband & I spotted this restaurant whilst staying in Lichfield. So a quick look at the reviews & it sounded promising. From the moment we walked in, the service was excellent. There were other groups of diners enjoying themselves. The delicious smells made our mouths water. 🤤 The food was amazing, a great choice. Both mine & my husband's meals had succulent meats with deep intense flavours. Scrum! I loved Lichfield & this restaurant is one of the reasons why. Quality food & customer service. 🌟

Working in the area walked in off street Ordered goat curry and few sides. Was told it would be around 30 minute wait. Then to my surprise I was invited in to sit at a table and offered free poppadoms while I waited. Got talking to 2 local guys who reassured me this will be best goat curry in Lichfield. Also had a nice conversation with one of the staff Abdul I believe his name was. The curry can only be described as minted. Loads of flavours and chunky bits of meat. Garlic nan bread was tasty perfect for cleaning sauce from plate. Many thanks for the hospitality highly recommend this place for food. 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍺

Just had a really great experience here. I asked for the chefs recommendation which the waiter told me was the goat special. The food did not disappoint at all. Very good authentic Indian food. Nice ambiance and attentive service. Well done 👏

Excellent atmosphere, very nice and friendly service with clam manner. Food was upto that standard and well tempered maintained and good level of hygiene maintained as well. Impressive

Overall disappointed. Staff were friendly enough and starters were nice but we waited around 45mintues for our mains, which Unfortunately didn't have much flavor but mostly it was the weird Naan bread. They didn't taste homemade or fresh at all. It was an expensive meal @ £68 for 2 and the added 5% service charge was unacceptable. We tried to tell one of the waiters we weren't happy but he just walked off.

It's been a while since we decided to have a curry. The Eastern Eye has always been our go to restaurant in Lichfield as you are always welcomed there like old friends and the food is outstanding. Tonight was no exception. Raz served us and was fabulous, very welcoming, said from the outset that food may take a little longer than usual as there were a lot of customers. (Certainly was for a Tuesday night). However, service was efficient and not served relatively quickly. Quality of food was wonderful,tender, perfectly cooked chicken, very tasty. We had some complimentary ice-cream, nice touch. Outstanding service all-round. Great menu, good prices, 7.5% service charge included. I personally thought that was too low but understand the reasoning behind it.(left additional 10% in cash, which was appreciated and Raz told me that it would be put in the tip jar for all the staff 👍. Abdul, your staff did a wonderful job.

The food was very good. The prices appeared reasonable at first glance, but after the inclusion of side orders, having to pay £1 for each individual poppadom, plus the extra charge for the dips to go with said poppadoms, followed by mandatory tip it wasn't very good value after all.

It was so busy but food and service was fantastic four of us dined in each having a different meal that we all thoroughly enjoyed, best tasting curry myself and husband have had in a while. We will definitely go again and would recommend.

This is the best Indian food I’ve experienced. We are regular visitors and never fail to take any guests for a meal at Eastern Eye. And, all our friends rave about their culinary experience with us for months afterwards. We have been sampling Abdul’s special dishes and they are truly delicious. Fridays and Saturdays are popular so worth making a booking - don’t risk disappointment.

Firstly, I have to say, the food was amazing. All five of us that went enjoyed the food. However, service was slow... and it only Monday (only two other parties in there) And also, Pricey!!!! 2 poppadoms, starter, main, naan bread and 2 pints of beer worked out to £46 each. Normally pay £30 ish at another Indian Restaurant in the city centre. But if you have a fat wallet, this is for you.

We ordered food at 7.40pm it came at 9.05pm!! Considering we were very hungry by now, the food actually was not tasty AT ALL!!! The raita was just plain yoghurt. Over all very disappointed.

This was a meet up with family. None of us had been there before. The service was excellent. Friendly efficient. The food was superb the best Indian cuisine I've had. Totally recommend it The beer I got was excellent. Just to clarify the 4 stars Guinness is not Bitter

2nd visit here today since December 2022. Both visits attended to swiftly with friendly waiting staff, along with warm and nice portions of food. My only nit pick would be the pigs in blankets ordered as extras. It's simply 2 sausages covered in the smallest piece of bacon, so more like just sausages. Also possibly provide gravy for the customer to pour themselves, as there was no gravy poured on our yorkies which were incredibly dry.

Been here a few times over the years, every time we return it’s with the hope it’s got better. It hasn’t changed one bit, always seems understaffed, staff seem poorly trained and worse don’t seem to like working here. It has the potential to be a really nice pub, I just don’t think there’s the will to do anything with it. We were in at 1PM for lunch, kids and wife went outside to find a table. For some reason the bar lady who looked massively in over her head immediately informed me that the kids aren’t welcome in the bar area but are allowed to come through the bar to leave or go to the toilet. 😂 Then handed me menus (but not kids menus) had to come back for those. Once our family decided on our order I went back into the bar for a lengthy wait, most of the people I saw sitting at tables were looking longingly for some service which wasn’t coming. Ordered my meal and drinks, bar lady then began taking further orders for food and drinks instead of preparing my drinks. I had to wait in the bar for almost 10 mins for these drinks, I couldn’t ask the kids to come and help carry their drinks either as kids aren’t allowed in remember! Food came quite quickly, kids pizza was essentially a microwave pizza and the side of veg sticks looked like they’d been prepared a good week ago. I went with a pub classic “smothered chicken” it was at a guess 1/4 of a chicken breast sliced up. Tasted like processed chicken, 99% sure that was a microwave meal to plate up too. We won’t return until this place changes hands now.

Had a nice quite meal on a Saturday afternoon, there were only 2 people serving so glad it wasn’t any busier than it was. Food was great and cannot complain at all. Will definitely keep returning to this little gem.

Just brilliant, attentive and engaging staff, food was delicious and hot! Dogs welcome in the bar area, which is a big plus.

Thanks for making a damp wet day,a lot brighter. We enjoyed our lunch time meal thanks one and all.

Very slow service. We had to queue for a long g time for our drinks wait ages to be seated , wait ages for our order to be taken. The food when it came was good. We were going to have a coffee a d pudding but decided it wasn't worth the wait !! Certainly won't go again in a hurry or recommend it it wasn't even that busy. Shame really because food was good a d staff when they did arrive were pleasant

Went for my birthday 5/5. My husband & I had been looking fwd to the lamb shank shepherds pie since the new menu came out. Boy was we disappointed. The meal looks nothing like how it's advertised (see pic) barely any meat underneath the mash, less than a cm, there was so much more needed to fill the dish (see pic) shank thrown on top & the mash slapped on top. Then a little limp cabbage thrown on the side all for £23 x 2. Couldn't fault other meals ordered. sorry but never again Holly bush. Lost another family as customers

Great food. Fab service. They were able to fit us in after Christmas for a largish table and there was also a birthday celebration already there. You could tell the staff were maxed out but they didn't show it and were on their A game.

Portions are quite small, so definitely take note of that whilst ordering. Food was good, however nothing too special or mind blowing, especially considering the price. BUT the staff are super friendly, accommodating and helpful - we were served by Rae, who was very nice and apologetic about the delays the entire time (obviously something which isn’t their fault!) - It’s worth a visit if you’re popping in for drinks, but probably wouldn’t eat there again. Overall pretty average, but nothing too serious to complain about. 😊😊😊

Family Birthday celebration. The staff were so attentive and friendly, and the food was served without waiting too long. Everyone commented on how tasty their meals were and the children in our party were well catered for. We especially liked that there was a separate gluten free menu with lots of choice for our coeliac diner. Well done Holly Bush , so glad we chose you and we will definitely be back.

My husband and I love coming here for a roast dinner. Amazing quality, service and atmosphere. They allow dogs in the bar area too which is lovely as they provide blankets, treats and bowls of water. It’s beautiful and cosy decor throughout feels so inviting and the staff are always pleasant and accommodating. Today we were served by Eddie and he was extremely attentive and very well mannered despite possibly being a bit rushed.

Ash and the team were really lovely and welcoming. The dinner and drinks were amazing. Atmosphere was so Nice and peaceful. Very chilled vibes service was on point and definitely worth coming back.

Came as a last minute Sunday evening meal, so glad we did. Was real easy to book, Ash our server was really attentive. Food was amazing, highly recommend steak and ale pie.

Our club meet here regularly for Sunday lunch. Food is very good and good value. Emma, the manager is so helpful and friendly and she leads a good team. Lovely setting and big car park. Would recommend

My husband and I visited for the first time as recommendation, unfortunately we will not be going back. Although my husband enjoyed his meal the same can't be said about mine. I have a wheat allergy and when presented with the menu the choice is very limited. When my meal arrived the portion was tiny. I have never since a jacket potato so small and the salad was the same. If you cannot offer the same value for money on a wheat free option then either reduce the price or don't bother.

We had Emma and her team dealing with us tonight, and I have to say Emma was exceptional with her service and so kind with any and all requests. She was very helpful and willing to give us the best options and made the experience as joyful and simple as possible. The food was very good. I had the salt and pepper squid and then the pork belly, which definitely felt was worth the price we paid. I would definitely recommend it to anyone. We went on a night where it wasn't fully booked, so the noise wasn't bad, but do think if it was full, the noise might become a problem.

A great pub with real atmosphere. We had a Christmas breakfast here just before Christmas and it was excellent. Emma and her team really understand ”service”

Really lovely pub - we came for breakfast and it arrived promptly and was delicious. It is one of only a handful of pubs in the Lichfield area that I know of that are open for breakfast, and it’s definitely worth a visit for it. Service was personable and Emma was a great host. We would definitely return for Sunday roast and the surrounding area will be lovely as we move into spring and summer.

Lovely pub! Gorgeous food in a warm friendly atmosphere. Best coffee ever! Light and airy with plenty of space between tables. Excellent service. Oo and very nice loos too.

We visited McKenzies in the city on 17th June 2022 for our 10 year wedding anniversary when we mentioned this to our excellent server we were given 2 complimentary glasses of prosecco which was very kind. The atmosphere here was great and beautifully decorated inside. The food was incredible and the staff were exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful evening. We would definitely recommend.

Sunday roast was really nice and the portion size was fantastic with cauliflower cheese and red cabbage included on the side along with extra veg and gravy! Would definitely recommend.

Lovely welcoming staff, fillet steak cooked perfectly and pate starter tasty. My son had a soup starter and salmon fillet on a bed of risotto which he found really nice he said. Enjoyable family meal in a relaxed setting. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I attended a 60th birthday party, it was well catered with really good food. The only problem for myself being disabled, is that the quarry tiled stairs leading up are very slippery. Might I recommend an applied non slip coating. This is of course for people like myself but should not detract from a visit. Of course being an ancient building, if you are a wheelchair user you would not be able to access the establishment.

The food was excellent and very tasty, completely let down with the service. 1. When seated wine glasses plus extra random glasses weren't removed from our table. Also during our time their when ordering a new drink old glass's weren't being removed causing clutter and making it awkward to eat round. 2. Food Wasn't coming out altogether 3. Wasn't asked if we wanted any sauces etc we had to ask for those ourselves 4. A very noisy table with children were seated right next to us. Really could of seated then somewhere more out the way as them and ourselves were the only people in dining (of course children will make noise and be children so don't mind the noise too an extent just not down our earholes while trying to eat a family meal) 5. My husband asked for his leftovers to be boxed up to take home. It wasn't put in a box or a bag of any kind it was dumped onto some tin foil and wrapped up, brought to the table and patted down. This made taking it home very awkward. I really hope this is just a one off as all the other reviews on here look good! Maybe Staff need more training and monitoring. The food was delicious but sadly won't be coming back any time soon.

Food was good excellent and far better than we expected. Hospitality was outstanding. I highly recommend anyone to try.

Very tasty food and excellent service! Staff were so friendly and attentive. Definitely, would return again!

Had a baby shower here in Nov/Dec last year with afternoon tea for about 20 people. The food was ok, the service really wasn't great and considering the restaurant seemed pretty empty it was very disappointing. Obviously people were arriving at different times but only the first to arrive were offered drinks. It was hard to get hold of wait staff due to us being upstairs so we had to wait for someone to come up or go downstairs ourselves. The sandwiches were just OK, didn't really feel like a celebration based on the food, luckily the company was fab. When the cake stands were brought out we didn't know how many people were supposed to be sharing each of them so some people didn't get the right amount of food. It didn't feel like quality food, just something bought in bulk and defrosted. Previously I've had good experiences here when dining to have a meal in the evening, I don't know if afternoon tea just isn't their thing. Wouldn't recommend it.

We had a birthday afternoon tea for our mom it was beautifully presented absolutely delicious and the service was fantastic we would definitely go again

Not nice people any more!!! Following a family bereavement, I called to see if they would honour a gift voucher which had expired by a couple of weeks. The lady I spoke with showed no sympathy, and refused to honour it.

First time ever I've eaten out for Christmas Dinner. I was sceptical as who wants to work Christmas day, but the place was packed when we arrived. Smoked salmon starter was amazing and very plentiful, perhaps too big, but that's my choice to eat it all. Turkey dinner was absolutely lovely loads of Turkey and loads of veg. I would definitely consider going again next year, hopefully I can so I don't have to cook and clean again!

How many times have I ordered fish and chips somewhere, paid ~£18 and it's mediocre at best? Countless. Glad to say, McKenzies is different. The best fish and chips I have had in a long time. Good portion size, and very good value at £13. Lovely building (the only point I'm knocking off was that it was a bit quiet at lunchtime). Lovely, attentive service. Will definitely be returning another time for an evening meal!

Really excellent food, brilliant service especially from Juan. Treated myself to a nice meal tonight, impromptu and was not disappointed to have chosen McKenzies. The staff was warm, the food was delicious and the service was spot on. Will be coming back again for sure. ❤️

Waited an hour for food. Had chargrilled chicken with orzo and pesto- no seasoning , minuscule amount of pesto and zero flavour. Chicken cooked beautifully but not char grilled. Had to ask for salt and pepper to give it a bit of flavour. Hubby had a massive burger with no flavour. Chips, onion rings and coleslaw were nice

We've visited Lichfield today, popped into McKenzies on the spur of the moment. Beautifully decorated, clean and tidy. We chose off the specials menu. Husband had fish and chips, I had chicken tikka. All cooked freshly. Waiter very attentive, quick service. We will come again, definitely. Well recommended.

Visited for first time on Friday, for lunch. Service was good and knowledgeable staff. Very clean everywhere. Was cold to start with, then heating came on. Food was very good, lamb curry cooked to desired spiciness. Toilets left a lot to be desired though, felt like stepping into an old pubs toilet (men’s), rather than a restaurant.

Booked for a friends birthday present and very dissapointed.We ordered drinks and had to wait 20 minutes, then over an hour to be served the main course after starters which we had to send back because it wasn't what we had ordered.We also didnt receive part of our order but didnt bother chasing as we would have been waiting all night.The staff that were on (2) were good ,but clearly the kitchen and staff were not able to cope with the amount of people that had booked in etc.McKenzies then put a service charge on top of bill ,which was NOT detailed in booking.For a 90 min meal we were there over 2 and a half hours. Would not recommend booking for any celebration, we will not be going back.
