Ego Mediterranean Restaurant - Sheffield in Sheffield

It was my first visit here. I booked it because me and my mum like Mediterranean food. We were going to the theatre in the afternoon so I booked my table at 11:45. This place is amazing. Lovely decor. food was outstanding. Nicola our server was so lovely. I have booked to come again in January. I’m so excited to try some more delicious food.

Restaurant very hot and uncomfortable. No Lamb or custard available on a busy Saturday! – which affected a lot of items on the menu. Waited over an hour for main course which resulted in being rushed from our table at the end for another booking so were unable to order 2 for 1 cocktails at the end of the meal as planned. Apple pie still frozen in the centre, was taken away and warmed up however was then hot on outside and cold in centre – good job it wasn’t chicken. Did offer to remove item from bill but then came out with another replacement...? poor communication in the restaurant team. I'm very disappointed with our visit yesterday.

Been here lots of times and this time was a bit disappointed the waitress was just abrupt at all times ,it just spoiled it , little things like cocktails we have always ordered 2 ,had first one then when finished had the second one , just got told no can't do ,no explanation about why , I always been able to get a diane sauce or something other than peppercorn, just told no , it was just how it was handled there is away of saying no with an explanation , it's simple ,I guess you had to be there I have always recommended ego over the years but when service spoils it . The food we had was lovely ,but a smile goes a long way, we did not experience one of the waitress just procedural

A nice place to go fo a catch up with friends or pre - theatre meal. Excellent food and cocktails had by all. Would highly recommend 👍🏻

Very mixed night. The service couldnt have been slower. It was 20 mins before we were even given menus and the waits continued from there. The Goasts Cheese starter was -amazing- and the King Prawn cocktail was fine. My wife had the lamb tajine and said it was nice but very bland and something we could have done at home. I had the Lemon chicken, the salda was amazing but the chicken was completely flavourless and one of the breasts was heavily burnt all around the edge and soggy underneath. I honestly have no idea how they managed that. But we didnt send it back because of the excessive wait time. I had a mouthful of food when the server came to ask if everything was okay and dissapeared again before I had chance to say anything. We both had a mini pudding and coffee. I had the brownie and a bailies coffee, the brownie was nice and the coffee was one of the best ive had in years. Despite being there for my wifes birthday, I was just discussing with her about giving up on the puddings and going home when they finally arrived. The servers were very plesent and helpful when you had the chance to speak with them. The Mojito mocktail was amazing but give it a good mix before drinking. The food use to be amazing but this is the most dissapointing meal out we have had in months. The good bits were great but too much was underwhelming at best bland at worst. It was my wifes birthday so we also had lunch in Sheffield Plate earlier and we both agreed the food was far better quality there. The wait times were absolutly not acceptiable and we were there at least an hour longer than we would have otherwise been purely because of the waiting.

Lovely atmosphere. Went out with family for a family occasion. Staff where friendly and the food was lovely and delicious.

Dermot our server was a star. Super friendly and attentive. Fabulous chicken and lamb souvlaki to start!

Would highly recommend this place the food was lovely & service was great 👌🏼

Great food, great service and great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend ego to anyone.

Food was wonderful with lots of choice. Service was excellent without any long delays even through it was very busy. My only small negative was it was very, very loud and it was difficult to have a conversation at times. Cocktails were fab and prices very reasonable given the standard of the food. We will be back but maybe not on a Saturday afternoon.

The staff were very friendly but we struggled to get their attention a few times. Whether it was due to it being busy or being sat on an edge I'm not sure but when they came by they were friendly and happy to help. We had a few different meals and some dishes were fantastic however one of them was a little small and bland in comparison. The atmosphere was nice too though I think due to the layout it got a bit hard to talk to anyone else on the table due to the noise.

I have been to Egos on many occasions and it has always been lovely and the service good too. However on the 2nd October it was my twin girls birthday so I thought that I would treat them at Egos but unfortunately it was a real let down. My mum and I had duo of pork which came with dauphinoise potatoes, the pork was dry and so we're the potatoes and to top it off both my mum and I had an upset stomach for the rest of the day. Also the service was no where near as good as it had been in the past , I even had to get my own bottle of wine from the bar as it was just left there . Not happy

If I could give more than 5 stars for the service I would! The food were really nice too, came hot fresh and lovely flavors! Very reasonably priced too.

Brilliant offer for two of two starters and two mains and a bottle of wine £40 and the good was lovely.

I don't like spices, so found the menu limited. Have previously loved the skewers but chicken now piri piri. I had the chicken supreme which was lovely, but my prawn cocktail starter was spoilt with too much peppery spice on top.

Always a pleasant experience but the menu could do with a few more options. Every time we go, there seems to be something missing from the menu that we have had before.

Great food …. Shame about the restaurant. Dirty toilets and the whole place could do with a deep clean. Light fittings dirty . Waitress seated a couple to a table with a ripped seat. They left 10 minutes after sitting down. No one asked if the food was ok or did we have everything we needed.

Been here many times never had a bad meal excellent food and service

Took advantage of my birthday offer and had a lovely meal plus a treat cocktail. Service was excellent

Went Egos in Sheffield. The 3 stars is really because when we arrived, we were the only people in. We did go at 12 o'clock though. Dermot, one of the person who looked after us explained that due to there being no matinee at the theaters it is quiet like this. The food came quickly and was great, all 3 courses.

Staff are extremely polite even when very busy. The food is good and plates/dishes always hot when serving hot food. The atmosphere is always good as well as the food. Very well done

Had to wait 20 for our booked table .As we had theatre booked had to miss out on stater

Food was very average & small portions. Service very good, drinks overpriced.

Lovely lunch to celebrate my husbands birthday, everything was top quality

A little disappointed not as good as it normally is had the bread n dips very bland n tasteless also had mixed meat kebabs no belly pork on mine shame as food is normally good

Excellent food, excellent customer service. A really lovely evening

We choose Ego for early dinner before going to the theatre. Staff pleasant and they ensure service is slick. Food good and well presented.

Nice brunch. Slightly limited menu choice as we had 3 of the party heading for a train in 1 hour 30 mins. Order got a bit muddled by the server but his honesty saved the day and every one was very happy

We always dine at Ego before going to the theatre. The Wednesday offer of 2 courses for £15 was exceptional value for money

Really nice meal with excellent service. Our waiter had great knowledge of the menu and a number of amusing anecdotes.

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic.The service is fast, efficient and extremely friendly and cheerful. The atmosphere is so relaxing . I can recommend Ego restaurant to anyone.

We were quite astonished and disappointed that the non alcoholic cocktails were not included in the 241, what about the drivers?

Service was efficient and friendly. We had the baked cod which was delicious and the Eton Mess was fab. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely evening, gorgeous food. Excellent staff providing great service despite being extremely busy!

Food was absolutely delicious especially the salmon fish cake and the steaks. Utterly delicious. Service was a little bit slow but staff very friendly and lovely.

The noise levels were unbearable. Can’t you do something to reduce it? My friends and i are all starting to have hearing problems so we could not have normal conversations. We have decided to look for a quieter venue for our post-theatre meals, which is a great shame, as we love the food and service is excellent.

Absolutely beautifully prepared food the lamb melted in your mouth, will definitely be visiting again.

Great food, excellent service, friendly staff. Do make sure to book a table rather than just walking in as a really busy restaurant. Would highly recommend you will not be disappointed.

Lovely food lovely atmosphere and lovely staff,,love it . XX

Pre theatre meal, efficient service let down by the meal, reduced portions, main course, chicken supreme, dry and unappealing, dessert (brownie) dry.£90 for that! All in all rubbish. Need to up their game. Used to be very good, not on this occasion!

Good food, served efficiently in a welcoming atmosphere. We ate early because of following commitment but everything worked smoothly.

Great service, great food and at a very good price.

Excellent , Daniel is very attentive , helpful and is such an asset to ‘Ego’

Went ad part of a large group. The food wasn't great, but also not the worst.

10 family members for a Birthday dinner, food was excellent and service prompt. We had the Monday night offer, and we all had various different starters and meals. Thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Many thanks to the staff for a lovely time 👍🥂 Hopefully back again soon.

Had a lovely meal. Service was great and lovely atmosohere.

Very quick, good food, friendly staff.

Food and drink were great but we found it really uncomfortable as there was no ait conditioning on and it was extremely hot and humid. Disappointing as I've wanted to go there for years.

Lovely food and great atmosphere as usual 😊

Atmosphere quite noisey, toilets not very clean, otherwise ok.

What a great place. Was busy and the staff worked so hard but were consistently friendly and helpful. Will definitely be returning

Went in for lunch on a Saturday, staff were really friendly and food delicious, fairly expensive however for a city centre I feel this is to be expected and it was a great experience overall. The tiramisu torte was delicious!

We went for the fixed priced menu here on Sunday, which also meant we could get 2 for 1 cocktails making the whole experience really good value for money. Nice place, loved being able to see the plants through the window. Staff were also excellent and attentive. Do wish there was more than 1 main option on the fixed menu that was veggie/vegan but the one that they had was very nice.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff ready to make the guests feel comfortable and happy. The place feels suitable to all ages.The food was a dish of pasta linguine with prawns and a dish of steak and chips with peppercorn sauce. All of us felt the taste as well as the food presentation was average. I suppose the staff and the interior of the restaurant make up for the average taste of the food.

Steak amazing as usual. Great service, great good, excellent.

We took two of our grandsons to Ego in Sheffield City Centre to celebrate the 18th birthday of Alex. The food was great, the Monday offer very welcome and the service provided by, I think, a guy from Hungary (Daniel?) was outstanding. What a very lovely man!!!! (Promote him!!) We will be back!!!

Great place for lunch and cocktails on a Saturday afternoon. Friendly, attentive staff. Good fixed price lunch menu and 2 for 1 cocktails. What’s not to like?

Met a friend for lunch had the 3 course menu of the day and was excellent. Would return and found the staff to be courteous and professional

Really helpful and friendly staff, we had a large party and were very accommodating, nothing was too much of an ask. Food was lovely and served quickly

Fantastic meal for a birthday celebration. Server was fantastic (Irish guy, sorry had a few too many cocktails to remember his name 😂).

Everything was really good and we will definitely be returning very soon.

The Birthday meal offer is a con the way it is calculated & I don’t just mean with the cheapest meal free - won’t be falling for that one again

Always lovely food. Let it down abit this time as 2 very large groups in so was 40 mins before got a starter. Main meal not very hot.

Got there at 9 and we're told kitchen was closed. Decided to have a cocktail at the bar, not very good, the french martini was bland and too Tarte and had to send back the negroni as it was bright red due to way too much campari. Shame as it has excellent reviews.

We where party of six and had lovely food, drinks, service and a good time. The staff very professional and helpful.

We had a great meal here, very busy - the food was brilliant and the staff were all super. Wish there was an Ego nearer to us in Cheshire!

We had a fabulous meal (group of 30). Please pass our thanks to all the staff 👏

Our waitress Holly was lovely, food was great, really enjoyed it. I mentioned it was my birthday meal to the chap who checked us in but it appears my meal was not marked as free.

Stunning food, I love the dinner menu. Great value for money and the food is stunning.

Stunning food. The staff are really lovely. Our server Claudio is a treasure and made us all smile. :) I really recommend it!

Excellent food. Great place to eat out.

Went for a anniversary meal and the staff were lovely. Had offers on, even on Bank Holiday Monday! Definitely recommend.

Went today for a belated birthday meal and it's our first visit to this one, but it certainly won't be our last! From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The food was amazing, but it was our waiter Dermot (I think lol) who really made it special. Dermot was brilliant with our 13 year old and really spent a lot of time chatting and getting to know us.Thank you, we will be back soon!!

I hate to write this review but this needs to be shared. Went to this restaurant on Thursday night at around 8:50 and we drove it from Darnall to this restaurant and the restaurant closing time says 11 and when we reached the the guy at the entrance says kitchens closed and no longer serving the food, we just said ok fine and got out and saw few people entering the restaurant and the same guy handing over the menu cards!!!

The venue is very tired, tatty, and in desperate need of a refit. Just your average chain restaurant offering

Excellent service 👏 lunch time I would recommend booking affordable lunch time menu

Easy atmosphere, good food and service.

Great food at reasonable prices, with excellent service

Excellent Service and Atmosphere, the food was cheaper than I thought it would be but the food is the problem, the steak I had was very salty and the portion sizes are very small not a fan of that, I'll visit again but I just won't have the steak!

Never disappoints. Back for another trip this time with my husband who has never before. In his words excellent food, brilliant service and probably the best restaurant he’s been to in years

A great experience on my wife’s birthday

We go to Ego's fairly regularly at lunchtime. This time was a birthday celebration and four of us enjoyed our meal with excellent service from a the staff. We will return.

A lovely lunch with cocktails for myself and 5 friends, will definitely eat here again, friendly staff great food and very reasonably priced

Very, very nice meal. Enjoyed with good company In quiet surroundings.

Food was amazing, staff friendly and helpful. Background noise preventing hearing some at the table speak. Lovely place and thoroughly enjoyed our time. Will visit again x

The food is good, but the portion is relatively small. I can easily have two mains on my own, which made it a bit pricy. Well maybe I eat more than average. Service is okay as the waitresses always look somewhere else other than customers, so I had to wait a long time to be served. It’s really loud in there, the tables are too close to each other. Remember to visit its website and register as its member before you go, you can get 20% off on your first visit and other offers as well. I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant because its loud, pricy and when I ask if they can do something as today is our anniversary they said if you didn’t register before you came, we can’t do anything, which is very disappointing. There are so many restaurants and we chose to come here, that is what we got?

Super lunch in bright and buzzy Ego. Lovely choice of food. Perfect ambience away from the noisy Central area

Visited with 3 friends for a bite to eat before going to the Theatre, and it was wonderful from the beginning to the end! We were greeted with a smile and received excellent service during our visit. The food was beautifully presented and tasted amazing! Would highly recommend! Thank you!!

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night, had an online booking definitely need it! Restaurant was packed. Nevertheless the service was still good and friendly staff. Had calamari fritti for starter, was delicious and batter was light and crispy. And for main had Moroccan lamb, lamb super tender and lots of flavour. A filling dish, no faults. Overall would recommend was a lovely evening there.

Great venue with lovely service. Veggie/vegan options are quite limited, which is a bit disappointing, but otherwise, it is a decent place to eat. Noted that owners have replied to me saying they have a varied vegan menu - might have been nice if they had given me that when I told them I was veggie then... definitely did not see a varied menu when I attended. Plus would have been nice if veggie options were also varied as of course vegan does not have cheese/eggs etc...

I cannot fault anything! I have difficult dietary restrictions to cater for and I was out for a family meal which always makes me anxious. The staff were so accommodating and made me feel at ease. I managed to adapt one of the dishes so that I didn't risk getting ill and it was absolutely delicious. So much so we went back the next night again and the service was just as amazing as it was the night before. Would 100% recommend.

Was there on a Sunday night. Staffing was a bit sparse, but they worked hard all night and made sure everyone was catered for. I was very impressed. The food was excellent.

Overall, it was a good experience. As it is in city centre parking your car can be tricky unless you go for ncp or q park which are a short walk. Price wise it's a bit pricey but that's how it is these days. I won't say it's value for money but then again a good place for a meal with good decor. Food was alright nothing extraordinary. It was good as a one-off to try a new place where we haven't been before.

Great place, especially on a sunny day

Ego consistently delivers on food quality, presentation, atmosphere and service! This is my first time visit to their restaurant in Sheffield, but its just as good as the one near Mansfield I've been to on several occasions. I always try and have different dishes and so far I've never had a bad experience. Keep it up Ego and I'm sure I (as many others) will continue to return.

Excellent food, attentive and friendly waiter. Great afternoon. Well done.

Lovely restaurant and atmosphere, would recommend

Smashing time here, cocktails 2 for 1, which is always a good thing! Get yourself down there!

Lovely meal and the waiter was fantastic defensively recommend

Hour wait for food. Over priced and quite disappointing as sons graduation meal and it had come highly recommended. Big shame
