Ego Mediterranean Restaurant - Sheffield in Sheffield

Very good food and excellent service from Dermot. He suggested mocktails for our only driver which she hadn't considered. So she didn't feel left out.

Will deff go to Ego again. Really good well cooked food and really welcoming and lovely staff. I had the duo of pork, but I also got to try the Moroccan lamb and it was cooked perfectly.

Attentive staff and delicious food. Couldn’t ask for more.

I absolutely love Ego's great food every time

A little confusion with our order but well worth the wait. Delicious food 😋

Went today for a lunch treat as been many times before our server was dermot he's been our server a few times before while we've been and he's absolutely incredible very friendly answered any questions we have absolute amazing.

Thank you Dermot - we had a lovely meal

Superb service from Dermot, it really made our night with his friendly and attentive demeanour! We loved the booth and the wonderful food that was served. Making for an extra special Birthday night ❤️

Amazing experience at Ego Sheffield - Dermot made our experience - thanks so much

Dermot was a great helpful & patient waiter

Dermot was a great server - I dropped foid in my white top and he brought sparkling water to clean it - it worked!

Busy evening at the restaurant.i was party of a party of 9 people and the waiters did the best they could to accommodate us. A special mention to Jay C who was efficient and helpful and served us well

Visited on my partner's birthday. we really loved the food, and everything we had was absolutely 💯. The grilled kebabs are favourite for everyone and it is almost on everyone table. The steak is moderately good i would say. All starters we tried are good.

Great food, great service. All 9 of us loved it. Thanks Team Ego

First visit but would definitely go again. Good atmosphere and staff were friendly and efficient. Great location next to the winter garden. Good selection of food on menu with some good offers for things like pre-theatre.

As always service and food was amazing ! Lovely lady served us called verena she’s so nice and friendly

Served by Nicola! Absolutely great service. Thanks

Absolutely fantastic food and brilliant service from Nicola. Very attentive but not overbearing and just a very cheery personality. Will definitely be back again when touring another show to the Lyceum!

Had a date night here recently and it's been a few years since we had been, the best date night in a while thanks to our lovely server Hollie, I believe her name was!

Food was great We had Meg B as our waitress and she was lovely very kind and knowledgeable

Dermot served us and was a total legend. We had a cracking time. Order the prawn linguine!

Very nice place to eat . Great fresh food Our server was Dermot he was fantastic very friendly . Would come again 100 %.

Great service from dermot. Good recommendation for the cauliflower steak!

Dermot was great especially sorting out our dietary issues. Defo Come again.

If I could give Dermot 6 stars, I would — but since the system only allows 5, I’ll settle for that (reluctantly). From the moment we walked in, he greeted us like we were long-lost friends returning from a world tour. His banter was as fresh as the Mediterranean breeze, and his charm could probably convince a cactus to bloom. The food? Absolutely incredible, but honestly, Dermot’s service was the real main course. He was quick with recommendations (which were spot-on), and his timing was so flawless it was like he had a sixth sense about when we were about to ask for the check. If you’re looking for great food and an unforgettable experience, make sure you ask for Dermot. Not only will he serve you, but he might just make you question your life choices in the best possible way. Would absolutely return just to see him again — and eat, of course. Cheers, Dermot, you legend!

Nice atmosphere and setting. Tables a little close together. I had scallops, morrocon style lamb, and apple / blackcurrant crumble. It was nice food, but did not blow me away. However, I tried my partners prawns and steak fillet and they were amazing. 3 courses each cost us circa £100 in total, which i think is very reasonable for a Friday evening.

Absolutely fantastic service from walking in the door. Hollie was so attentive throughout thank you for making our time at Ego special 🥰

We arrived early and were warmly welcomed. We had a train to catch and the staff were excellent at getting the meal to us rapidly. Our server Hollie was friendly and skilled and professional.

Great night with friends at Ego Hollie was a great waitress making sure we were well looked after all night

Our server (Dermot) was lovely, great service.

Hollie was an excellent hostess. Very friendly and attentive. Specifically looked after one of our group who has to leave earlier.

Great place for drinks and food. Served by dermott

The most amazing evening full of gorgeous food and drinks! Good laughs throughout from Dermot, who went above and beyond when rectifying a delay with our food.

Lovely place to go to, food was amazing, only issue which was probably a personal preference is too much black pepper. Dermot was a lovely host and made sure we all felt welcome and had a good laugh. The toilets however let down the experience and I wouldn’t say match the aesthetic of the restaurant, could use a little money on redecorating. Would definitely come again and would recommend asking for Dermot to serve you!!

Atego, where the flavors rise, But it's the service that truly flies. With every dish, a work of art, But it’s the service that steals my heart. A smile that warms the chilly air, Attention given with thoughtful care. Each moment perfect, each detail true, They made this night feel brand new. Dermot's hand, so swift and kind, Anticipating needs, so well-defined. Like a dance, so smooth and grand, The best I've seen across the land. So here's my praise, with joy I send, To Dermot and staff, you're more than friends. Five stars I give, and then some more, For service that I’ll always adore.

Do you like food, I like food. This place has great food and I like Nice bright and ambient, friendly team! Especially big shout out to Megan her professionalism and prowess was astounding

Dermot was lovely and really helpful. Food was great and the restaurant was very clean. Will be visiting again!

The place isn't cleaned properly. There are large dust-encrusted cobwebs high on the ceiling and there are visible cobwebs lower down too. Utterly unacceptable. Ladders and long feather dusters exist. I shouldn't have to see that kind of filth when I look up from my table. Who knows what might even drop down into people's food... Staff was overall excellent. The food was okay, not bad but frankly uninspired. Definitely not worth the price. The quality you'd expect in a decent canteen, not a restaurant. If it cost half the price it would be fair. I'd give it two stars if it was clean, but the dirt means it has to be a one star.

Dermot was great! Lovely veggie options

Lovely birthday meal. Hollie was fantastic!

Had a lovely lunch with friends. Lots of great gluten free options, and it all tastes delicious. Dermot was helpful and I always enjoy coming here.

Hollie was super attentive and nice! Think we are best friends now !! Food service and team was unreal ! Super excited to return for my next birthday meal with family

Served by Dermot friendly staff

Expensive food but service is good

Excellent restaurant. The food is so fresh. A great menu. Such good choice for vegetarians.

Excellent service from Hollie. Always a great night

Megan B was an excellent waiter, she was so comforting to be around. Absolutely loved her service.

First time we’ve been here and can honestly say it was fantastic. Food was unbelievable and service from Hollie even better. Certainly recommend

Matteo was outstanding, great wine knowledge , found me an alternative to a red I like. Cocktails was flowing, food no complaints, very attentive staff and friendly. We definitely lost concept of time from an early lunch to a late depart. Ta

2nd visit here (we don't live in Sheffield) but absolutley love it! Food is always beautiful, atmosphere is always great and the service always fantastic! I love the way staff are always so friendly with children, my son loves coming here!

Very impressed with food for the price great value for money, our service was very good and a special mention for dermot who took the booking and was very attentive to the table on daughters 16th birthday

Dermot was quality, great food and great atmosphere. Would definitely come back again!

Heard good things about this place and was very disappointed

Amazing staff, beautiful restaurant and delicious food will 100% be returning

Rubbish experience at this Restaurant. Definitely in no hurry to go back. The chicken was the driest chicken I've ever eaten. Meals and sides were missing or wrong. Waitress didn't know how to smile. Dont think I saw her smile once in the two hours we were there. The only positive I can comment on are the two cocktails I had. They're the reason this is not a one star review. We came out as a party of 10 for my sisters 21st Birthday. It ruined it completely, its not a day she's ever going to get back. It had her mum in tears. What should have been a happy celebration was a complete shambles.

Gorgeous food, chap who served us starting with D was amazing and a credit to the restaurant. High ceiling makes it quite hard to hear.

Amazing place to eat and surprisingly not busy

Visited as part of a group, which probably detracted from the usual experience as I tend to find that the service declines notably for larger groups and this was no exception. The table wasn’t ready when we arrived just before our booked time, and there was a wait while the table was prepared- probably about 15 minutes I would guess. I don’t have a problem with the wait specifically, but more the area where we were asked to wait- the bar. This area is also a very narrow walkway for customers to use and for staff trying to carry food to tables, so you were left constantly dodging people carrying plates and constantly being asked to move for people to pass by and it just felt chaotic and claustrophobic. All the food was very good, but the service lacked any warmth with food being pretty much just called and then dumped in the relevant place with little in the way of pleasantries. Additionally, the food for all the courses was generally carried over 2 plates at a time by one person, so it arrived in dribs and drabs with some people sat with food waiting for quite a while for others to get their meals. It’s basic restaurant procedure that if you have a big table you communicate with your colleagues and a few staff group together to serve a large table together to avoid this. It all just came across a bit chaotic and disorganised from start to finish. I would also add that there is a massive accumulation of cobwebs on the walls above the food serving hatch, which is clearly visible from the opposite side of the restaurant which highlights poor attention to detail. I often think if the bits of a restaurant you can see are dirty, what are the bits you can’t see like? Overall, good food but management need to get a grip on basic standards.

First time visiting Ego,s. Definitely will not be the last. Service by Jay was first class, food beautiful thankyou chef,s.

Dermot was so nice, was really reassuring with the allergy order and was great service throughout.

Served by the wonderful Dermot, made my parents (and I) chuckle away all evening, lots of tips and tricks, friendly chit chat and excellent service !

I have always found Ego to have a pleasant ambience and good food and have enjoyed my visits. This time though it was not such a good experience. As one of our party has an allergy to chilli we pointed this out to our waiter and asked if any of the meals were chilli free. The Duo Of Pork was suggested so that is what she ordered along with the Halloumi Fries starter since she could have that without the chilli and honey drizzle. Unfortunately about halfway through her meal main meal she had a reaction to something in her meal. We brought this to the attention of the staff and it transpired that the pork belly has a coating of chilli powder, a fact which our waiter was unaware. The manager apologised and deducted the cost of her meal from the bill. However, we were not asked at any point if there were any members of our party with allergies. The staff need to be more aware of allergy policies and also more specific ingredients in the meals. It also seems that “Mediterranean” style food means everything is laced with chilli from the starters to the mains which is not my experience of Mediterranean food from living in Spain for several years. Maybe a few more chilli free items or a way of removing the chilli element would be a start. For the time being however we will probably not be returning as a group

Overall the visit was wonderful. The rump steak was a little chewy, but flavour was great. My partner had the lemon chicken Milanese and was extremely pleased with it. The Eton mess was the highlight for me, light, sweet but not too sweet! We were served by the lovely Nicola who was very attentive and informative, she was a busy lady but made us feel important and that she never forgot us. It was a pleasure being served by her and the team.

Update March 2025 Still fantastic food, served in good time and with a smile. Still give it 6 stars. Original Review 2023 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'm giving Ego 6 stars. We had originally booked for the Friday but due to snow we couldn't make it and wanted to move our reservation. Not a problem for these guys. They managed to move us, change an order, and take someone off the guest list. The food itself was really nice and served with no errors and quickly. Not bad considering there were 10 of us. Literally, nothing was too much for them. Their kindness felt genuine and not forced, like some places. An absolute credit to the company.

Great place. Wonderful food and service

Great restaurant, had lunchtime meals because they are not too big. It was about right. Had steak and my wife had lemon chicken. All good thanks!

Had a lovely couples birthday treat, Dermot was a super friendly, efficient, and attentive waiter.

This was a larger venue than I expected, divided up into areas. There was a great view into the Winter Gardens, which added something unique to the dining. It wasn't busy, which I liked and service was good and at a good pace. I had the seabass and salad, but without chorizo and with extra salad. And for dessert I tried the tiramisu. Seabass was nicely cooked with a crisp salad to accompany it. If I hadn't asked for extra salad I don't think it would have been enough for the price on the menu. There didn't seem to be any dressing but if I had asked I expect they would have brought some out. The tiramisu was fine and nicely presented but overpriced in my opinion. I think the venue is a good place to meet for a work's do, as it has the space and the divided areas or to pop into when there is a special offer on as the prices would be more reasonable and encourages you to try something else. I imagine it would be quite noisy during busy times, however I think it's better for the city that it's here than not here.

Good food, extensive menu. Great cocktails. Good prices and some excellent offers. Very friendly, efficient service. Nice atmosphere.

Not great poor food. Won't be returning

Dermot is fantastic! Such a great afternoon for my mums birthday, he’s so helpful and friendly!

Dermot is a fabulous waiter and made our evening very enjoyable alongside the great food

Lovely food ,friendly staff and reasonably priced.

Great food with very efficient service

Lunch with friends. Delicious food and good service, very friendly staff.

After a slow start (we timed our arrival as theatre goers we all wanting to pay their bills) the service was fab! Our waiter was Jay, he was very friendly and chatty (but not so much that he wasn't doing his job efficiently!). Food was great, we'll be back!

Great food and great service from Kristen!

Went for my sons 21st bday was lovely food and great service thank you

bar staff absolutely rude making rude remarks. very unprofessional and it’s giving islamophobia

Lovely as always but some changes in the menu aren’t as great as used to be.

Always great food, even the steak. Some vegetarian options as well.

Great food, not expensive, lovely vibe, and staff were superb. First visit but will go again 100%.

One of our favourite restaurants in Sheffield. It has never disappointed in all the many times we've been eating here. Big shout out to Meg B for her fantastic service. On her recommendation I went for the Lamb Kleftiko which was superb , her Dad likes it as well. My wife had the duo of pork. Tremendous. Thanks to the team and keep it going guys.

Never had anything but great food in all the many times we've eaten here. Totally recommended. Great service from Megon B , thank you.

I've dined at Ego on a few occasions over the years and always had good food/service and an enjoyable experience. However, this weekend was altogether different. I ordered the Lamb Kleftiko, Lamb Shank, which I had been looking forward to for most of the previous week. We were informed that it would involve a 30 minute wait which was fine, when the dish arrived I was beyond disappointed. The Lamb itself had to be prized off the bone, in my experience this should never be the case, whenever I've ordered this dish previously it's literally fallen off the bone with very little encouragement. I persevered with this until I was about half way through the dish then gave in and concentrated on the vegetables that came with it. When I pointed this out to our waitress I was offered another one. As this would have involved another 30 minute wait and the rest of our party had started their meals it wasn't an option. Once I'd refused a replacement I was offered a complimentary side dish which once again I declined and at this point I was told that they'd sort something out on our bill before we left. This indeed was attended to and we didn't pay for our drinks, this gesture was appreciated but couldn't however make up for the disappointment felt when I received my main course. This review doesn't come from a place of bitterness/spite, I simply felt the need to let any future diners know about my experience as I wouldn't want anyone else to feel the disappointment I felt at the weekend.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining here on the 20th Feb at 7pm, the food was amazing but what made this experience excellent were the staff, in particular Kane, his customer service was 100% infact I did try to convince him to switch carers and work for myself but his loyalty to your company was there! If only I'd been a dreaded mystery shopper as that would have been 100% pass!! In my experience of customer service Kane had the best ive seen in a long time, definitely manager material if he isnt one already!! Fantastic food too!! Will definitely recomend and re visit in the future

Great food had the chicken chorizo kebabs

Booked for dinner before going to the theater, what a great dinning experience, a very aesthetically pleasing place with great decor and a superb vibe. Menu was inventive and full of options, if you like medataranian food this is the place, with Greek, Italian and Turkish options. The place was very busy but service was prompt and very professional. All the food was superbly cooked and presentation was great. All in all a great dinning experience. Prices were very reasonable and all in all I can't find any faults with Ego at all. We will all be back very soon and can't whole heartidly recommend Ego for anyone looking for a great Mediterranean eating adventure. Top marks, keap it up.

Dermot really made our evening, he has a great sense of humour and made us laugh whilst offering an exceptional service, he was so good and nothing was too much trouble. An absolute asset to Ego. The food was really delicious and met our expectations

Dermot made our night thanks xx

The food was great, the service was excellent and for we had, the price was very reasonable. I had heard mixed reviews about this restaurant so I was a little apprehensive, but I'm glad I kept the booking because it was a lovely night.

As always a lovely meal and an enjoyable experience!

A lovely meal as always here. Served by the wonderful Dermot who really made the evening

Great food and great service by Dermov before the theatre. Would recommend.

3 of us went for lunch yesterday, and we were welcomed by Danny. We hadn’t booked, but without us having to ask, he looked on the screen to find a table that would give us the most time before the evening service started, so that we wouldn’t be rushed; such a thoughtful gesture. He handed us the menus, then carefully explained all our different options, and the special deals which were available. When we couldn’t decide which white wine to choose, he poured a small amount of each into glasses for us to taste; again a lovely gesture. Unfortunately, he was just about to finish his shift, but had a nice little chat with us before he left. Such lovely, genuine and impressive hospitality from Danny. Thank you ☺️

Promised much, but extremely disappointing experience! My good lady wife and work colleague decided to dine at Ego for a shared 60th Birthday celebration, with c.20 of us turning up on Friday 7th February. We opted for the Celebration menu, so 3 courses for a fixed price.. Being a steak lover, I personally opted for the Sirloin, appreciating fully that this actually attracted a £4 supplement. Further, I rang up Ego the previous week, essentially just to ensure that said £4 supplement did actually INCLUDE a steak sauce!? In short, I was met with a firm Yes... All in all, Starters and Sweets were pretty good to be fair, but potentially the chewiest and least tasty steak I've eaten in years! I have been made aware since that others were also not impressed at all with their steaks, especially considering the supplement of £4! I personally made the manager aware of my very negative opinion of my steak afterwards, and he gave me his word it would therefore be removed from the overall bill! To my utter embarassment and astonishment, I have since learned that not only have Ego charged still the £4 supplement, they have also charged for every single steak sauce served! Adding insult to injury, they have also then proceeded to add a service-charge! Needless to say, we will NOT be returning, period, very poor indeed..! Andrew

Food and service were absolutely amazing. Dermot was looking after us for our meal he was great. Unfortunately I had to mark down on atmosphere due to how awful the toilets are. They are mucky and if I stood any longer to dry my hand the restaurant would have been closed. The dryers also advertise they have not been saftey checked since 2019....no wonder they are rubbish. So Dermot your amazing. EGOs listen to what your staff are telling you. They are the ones there listening to customers and seeing it for them self's

Fantastic food and very nice service. While looking for good food, I was slowly losing hope that it was possible to eat something delicious and, above all, seasoned. Today we went to this restaurant with my family. Great atmosphere. A table by the window with a view of exotic trees. Starters 10/10. Main courses 8/10. The only drawback is that the onion rings are a bit greasy, probably because they were deep-fried. Here I would prefer it from the oven. Everything else is very delicious. The first restaurant in months where I can definitely say that I will come back here again. I recommend

Really enjoyed the meal, and our server "Dermot" was exceptional, he was very friendly and happy to help. Would highly recommend and will definitely return.

Don't use a Booking website or APP to book a table here, although you will be offered times for your reservation and then get a confirmation email it won't mean that you have a booking. I booked for Saturday at 6pm and didn't spot the reply from Ego via an email to tell me that they were full. Turned up to be told by a quite 'matter of fact' statement that they were full and didn't you see the email we sent you. Left a bit disgruntled but in the end they did us a favour because we went to Piccolino which turned out to be a much nicer restaurant with fabulous food and service. So thank-you Ego, won't be visiting you soon.
