The Greek Chef in Lichfield

Nice cozy small restaurant, good quality food, friendly waitress.

This is the best authentic greek restaurant I've ever had the pleasure of eating at. The food was incredible, the staff were helpful and attentive and the atmosphere had me believing I was on holiday in Greece. Couldn't fault the restaurant if I tried and I can't wait to go back!

Great food and nice atmosphere. Three hours ago I dined there and left with very good impressions. I didn't make a reservation and left surprised when entering Friday night and all tables on the first floor were occupied. The waiter showed a free table on the second floor in quite corner. I ordered Tirokafteri and Horiatiki (Greek salad), Haloumi souvlaki - gorgeous taste. Only didn't see (my mistake ) - there is no meat in the Haloumi souvlaki and the main meal was - vegetarian 😂😂🤣. For desert I chose Portokalopita - an orange pie with two balls of ice cream - the taste divine - strong recommend. Warning!!! I forgot to mention - there was a huge parking on the left of restaurant - Friday busy night was full of cars - drove 10 min in circle inside and no free spot and no one leave it - I gave up and found another parking behind the restaurant. Both parkings were paid but first one I paid in advance at home and didn't have chance to use it.....

The food is divine, so tasty and generous portions. The staff were lovely

We visited here with some friends for the first time and ordered the meat platter for 4. The quality of the meat, the portion and the price was such an amazing deal! We felt the meat was cooked to perfection and we will be making plans to come back again!

Food was very over priced, service was non existent, constantly trying to get the staff's attention to have to trouble them for another drink to be ignored over and over, wait time for food to be served is terrible. would avoid at all costs.

Eleven of us went for a family birthday. We were seated in a very cosy spot, were served quickly and efficiently. The food was outstanding. Tasty, delicious and the portions were generous. We tried a range of meals and they were all equally very enjoyable . The deserts were fantastic for those with a sweet tooth 😇 All round the staff were great , always at hand but never underfoot a lovely balance that made our family occasion feel really special

First time visiting and wow was so pleasantly surprised, will definitely be paying another visit, food scrumptious 😋

great restaurant! we had the kleftico, chicken souvlaki, gemista and moussaka. authentic greek food and reminded us of our holiday to corfu. good service too!

Fantastic authentic Greek menu. Food freshly prepared. Staff really attentive and friendly.

I have eaten gyros in Greece and this was like being back there, only thing missing was the beach outside the door! Very authentic delicious tasting greek food with friendly service and staff. We had the Spinakopita to start and pork and chicken gyros as mains along with Alpha beer, which my husband has missed since he lived there (hard to find!). Delicious food and a lovely restaurant. Definitely recommend and we will get back.

Highly recommend The Greek Chef! Our mixed platter was outstanding and even our 3 children agreed with us, we all said it's the nicest meal out we have had in a longtime. Beautiful restaurant and our waitress was just amazing, very helpful and couldn't do more for us. We will definitely be returning soon xx

Absolutely fantastic food, friendly atmosphere. Wonderful experience 😁

The worse meal I’ve eaten in years; and I’m not prone to exaggeration- I also like Greek food

Lovely restaurant, good quality food and friendly staff.

First visit for lunch. Tasty food and large portions. Good service and pleasant surroundings

This place is amazing! Honestly can't wait to go back again we loved it so much. Food was so yummy, the staff are so friendly and welcoming and the restaurant itself is very cute. Try it out for yourself!

Excellent service and food, very reasonable pricing

Authentic Greek food friendly Greek team , nothing too much trouble- Superb Greek food and great portion sizes - very good Value. Had a superb birthday lunch for 6 and it was wonderful- even got a birthday cake and singing 💝 loved it xxx

Delicious, honest, home cooked greek food; as good as anything we ate in Athens this year. Clearly a family business run with passion. Wonderful service...absolutely no faults. First class.

Beautiful food freshly cooked. Wide choice of meals to choose from.. Go hungry, large portions. Good deals are available on two or 3 courses. Five of us settled down to taste each others food and were blown away. Pleasant interactions with staff and other customers. This restaurant is well worth the walk for something delicious and a little bit different.

Fantastic food, lovely service. Provided a doggy bag for leftovers.

Been here several times.Food and service always top notch.

It's realy nice for the lunch or dinner

Great restaurant, went on a quiet Monday evening, after a hard day out cycling, food very good, waitress very welcoming, nice atmosphere, good selection of Greek beers, reminded me of a trip to Santorini earlier in the year

Three stars for lovely staff but overall disappointing. A long wait. Starters (dolmades and tzatziki)were pretty good. Mains were pretty poor. Moussaka was burned and came without the listed sides. Chicken souvlaki not nice at all Tasted of processed meat and came smothered in very un-Greek mustard. Overall not very authentic.

We’ve had some excellent meals here but today was the first time we tried the fixed price lunch menu, wow! The same fantastic quality and quantity as the normal menu, even better value for money.

Very authentic Greek restaurant. Gorgeous food, generous portions, great service and good value lunch deals. We shared the mixed grill. Can’t wait to return.

Introduced the restaurant to friends for lunch and couldn't have found a better place for Greek food. The sevice was impeccable from Anna and Ola. The food was beautiful and certainly plentiful. Price for the 2 course lunch was unbeatable for the amount and quality of food served. Would highly recommend.

Perfect service, blue and white decor that makes you think you are in the Cyclades. The taste of the food and wine was delicious, the plate for two was quite enough for three. The value for money is fantastic. I highly recommend The Greek Chef Restaurant.

Lovely restaurant, great portion sizes, friendly service. 😀

Got a delivery service today Stifado Rice and Greek salad. Salad was good but little portions and lacked presentation. Don’t think I’ll bother again. It was passable but not enjoyable I’m afraid. Uninspiring. It wasn’t cheap either!

Delicious authentic food with excellent vegetarian options. You can make a meal with a selection of starters; the dolmades and gigantes are fantastic. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Very friendly service, always made to feel welcome. Thank you!

Eating here took me back to a fab trip To Athens. A very warm welcome excellent Greek food fresh and authentic. We had houmos starter home made and fresh and then halumi and pork soulvaki. Will be going back to work through the menu!

Excellent food coupled with great service at very reasonable prices....... definitely will return

Went here for lunch to try the lunch deal 2 courses £12 , food was delicious and so filling and you get a decent portion for the price too. Will definitely be returning.

Would recommend this to anyone who is a gastronaught loves food. This place is amazing. Amazing food and lovely staff. The best meal out I've had in a long time 👍👍👏👏👍👍

Delicious food , super service and good company. The makings of a great evening.

Myself and my partner had planned a day trip to Lichfield but left our lunch options open to look around the town. We stumbled across this restaurant and can honestly say what a gem! The were greeted by the serving staff who showed us to a free table. They've got some amazing traditional cuisine made with fresh ingredients. We had the lunch special which was 2 courses for £12. The wait time for food was a little slow, due to a large party on the next table, we didn't complain (we understood) and the staff took it on themselves to offer us a a couple of complimentary drinks for the wait, which we welcomed with surprise! The food was absolutely delicious and great serving sizes for the price. The chicken gyros and Moussaka were fantastic. We're 100% going to visit again, it was lovely to be treated so well and it felt like a mini holiday.

We've been three times now, each time for lunch, and each time we have been bowled over by the quality of the food served. The starters were tasty, for the most part. The houmous portion was the equivalent of 2 supermarket portions with one (very, very tasty) pitta bread. Even a third of the portion presented would have been plenty. The calamari was delicious and the right size, but the "chicken pie" starter was not great. It was deep fried and too heavy for a starter. The main courses were similarly huge. Neither of us was keen on the moussaka. I was expecting Greek cheese but had a liberal sprinkling of cheddar. The only main we had which we could not fault was the gyro, which was deconstructed but very tasty, albeit huge. Other things to note. We ordered the Greek salad, but it came rustically chunky, undressed, and without flavour. Won't be ordering that again. Also, although not specified on the menu, several dishes arrived with random gratings of cheddar. I hate cheddar, but my part doesn't. Even so, put it on the menu or don't serve it. The house wine was good value and easy drinking and the atmosphere ok. Service was attentive on each occasion. I just wish the portions were smaller, for the sake of their bottom line if not my appetite and waistline.

Lovely lunch. First time visit. Will definitely go again

Tasty authentic Greek food at a very reasonable price. Excellent service. Will definitely return and urge other food lovers to try this fabulous place.

Outstanding food, service and taste. Had tirokafteri, tirosalata, slow cooked beef, chicken gyros, tsipouro and malamatina wine. Absolutely outrageous taste just like authentic Greek taste. Highly recommended, will definitely order with Uber Eats and visit again! Thank you! 🙏

Lovley food, polite staff Will be visiting again 👍👍

Good amount of vegetarian options, a few which were also vegan. Acomodating for large group which had not booked!

It was absolutely incredible, genuinely one of the best places I have ever visited. Annie was exceptional, very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I would 1000% recommend. The meat on the platter was flavoursome and very tender. We will definitely come back.

Popped in for lunch with my husband today. Very friendly staff and food was amazing! Cooked fresh, piping hot. Will definitely be going back, thank you for a lovely lunch

A really good selection of authentic tasting food freshly prepared. Very tasty vegetarian and meat option. Lovely waitress, excellent service and spotless establishment. Will come again.

We have been to the restaurant a few times and always highly rate it. The gyros is amazing, the best fresh tzaziki you could get. We did end up ordering a takeaway and were quite dissapointed with the food so I'll stick to going there in person 🙂

We had a lovely lunch for five. The food was amazing and the Portion size was very generous.

This restaurant is a little gem. The food is delicious, well presented with generous portion sizes. The lunchtime menu is excellent value for money. I would definitely recommend The Greek Chef and look forward to returning soon.

Great food, just what we needed whilst out and about..

Beaatufully cooked, authentic Greek food, comprehensive menu, very friendly and helpful staff, lovely setting. What's not to love? We were a large party of 11, including three older and two young children. At no point were we made to feel anything other than very welcome.

Well, I hadn't visited before but I will certainly be returning. Great food, great service, and amazing prices.

simple and yet delicious food. we went for the lunch menu. good portion. they also serve chill water.

We visited here for my Mums birthday. There were 6 of us and we had booked it two weeks in advance. When we arrived they told us our table wouldn’t be ready for 40 minutes, so we waited but was an inconvenience. My Mum had been in a week earlier to ask specifically whether they could prepare the Sea Bass off the lunch menu as a main, they said yes, but when we ordered this at the dinner they tried to charge us extra and came out with the smallest portion of fish and unseasoned rice. It was rubbish compared to the other portions. Owing to the wait we were promised free drinks but these hadn’t of been taken off the tab when we received the receipt. I hate to slate the place as it’s a lovely independently owned restaurant but the service and food really wasn’t up to scratch. Improvement is needed.

Great food, great waitress, great restaurant. Somehow needs to be busier!!

Brilliant place, food is gorgeous and amazing value for money. Service excellent too.

First time here today! Will be back was delicious, massive portions and super lovely host!

Excellent venue, reasonably priced

It is a pass, but unfortunately below expectations.

Went for lunch. A great little gem doing a 2 course lunch for £12. Fantastic value for money. Table of 4. All food we had was really nice and the service was good too. Recommended lunch booking on a Saturday. Some folk got lucky and got a table, other folk being turned away as the place was full.

Wide range of delicious Greek food. Hearty portion sizes and a good drinks selection. Great lunch deals and a fantastic atmosphere make this a must visit.

Wonderful little place, can’t believe I’ve left it so long to try. Recently my cousins visited and couldn’t speak highly enough about his experience, so while in Lichfield I decided try. I went in the afternoon and they had a. Two course menu for £12 which was excellent value for the quality of food! I had the chicken wing starter and pork souvlaki main, both fantastically decorated, abd tasted delicious! The waitress was wonderful, professional and friendly. The restaurant was clean and had a a lovely vibe, it seemed very traditional and for a moment you may think you had escaped Lichfield. Excellent food, service and decor. Will certainly go again.

I thought the food was great and very tasty. First experience of Greek food. The service was a bit confused and delayed but the staff did their best to mitigate some backoffice issue and were friendly about it.

The food was delicious and the staff were brilliant 10/10 highly recommended

What a nice restaurant. The food is incredibly tasty and the portions generous, we came at lunchtime today and had a starter and a first course which was a £12 each. Kids under 4 eat for free! Special mention to the waitress who is a real sunshine. She made sure everything was perfect and was ever SO lovely with our children. 100% recommend!

Lonely place to relax and enjoy

We've been here a few times and the food is always great. Went for the lunch menu recently which is great value for money, but I prefer it at night when it's busy and there's more atmosphere. Service can be a little slow at times but it's all very relaxed so it doesn't really affect the overall experience and often it's because they are so busy! Would recommend and do.

Lovely atmosphere and great food as always. Dine here on a regular basis.

We had a large party booking (19) a few days before Christmas. I was a little wary as the choice had been made on my recommendation following an earlier visit. I shouldn't have worried as we were liked after very well and the food all arrived together. Admittedly most of us had ordered their famous mixed grill but to serve 19 meals all at the same time was quite an achievement considering the size of the restaurant/kitchen. Everybody left happy and very full!

Dropped in after a walk around Lichfield. Great food, fantastic prices, and service was impeccable. So good in fact that we have booked a table for next week as date night. If you enjoy greek and Mediterranean food then this is an authentic place to eat, it's not fine dining, but it is a great experience. Highly recommend and will be going again.

Food was lovely and served promptly, even on such a busy night. Staff were lovely, friendly and attentive.

Excellent! Not much more to say, but we hope to visit again next year. Highly recommended.

I recommend Large portions Delicious I'll be back❤️

Table of 6 and all had a lovely meal. The food was piping hot, plentiful and really lovely home cooked. Service was great, girls lovely and jolly. Found absolutely no reason to complain at all. I would definitely return. Great little place.

Very disappointed with the food… not Greek at all… I am Greek and I know

Very very good Greek restaurant, very polite staff excellent food...A++ overall

Found this place on line and thought it’d be perfect for a meal on a night we were staying in Lichfield. It said open till 10pm on a Sunday so I phoned about 4pm and booked a table for two at 8.30pm. We turned up at 8.30 to be told they were closed (the doors were open) and that we could t have booked as they shut at 9pm. We were basically treated very badly by the waitress and had to find somewhere else to eat. Absolutely disgraceful

Lovely food, freshly prepared and a very warm welcome from the excellent staff.

Nice restaurant friendly service good food and wine large portions

Brilliant food and service as always. Great value for money

Lovely food, third time and has been lovely everytime. Once including a takeaway

Service was good and very prompt and the restaurant was very clean, but our visit was let down by the quality of the food. Three souvlakis ordered, they tasted nice, but were very dry because they came without the dressing or Tzatziki as described on the menu. The Tzatziki came later on but was added to the bill! The restaurant wasn’t overly busy either, so the staff were not really rushed off their feet. Overall, not impressed this time. We might try it again sometime.

What a fantastic restaurant - the pork souvlaki was just like being back in Greece - superb!!

The atmosphere and the staff are perfect here!

Wow first time Greek loved it the flavours were something else homely good atmosphere rate this as something different

Expensive for what you get food & drink. My food came out first with no plates and I had to ask for plates. The waitress stood by the table for most of the time while we were eating. Obviously waiting to see if anyone needed anything but just felt a little odd.

Fabulous food and friendly service.

I am afraid I am not a big fan. It's OK and you should try it if you like Greek food. I feel the prices are a little higher than they should be. The food was just OK, although the menu is extensive and we only tried four things. Surprisingly, the ambiance is such that you could imagine you are in Greece, as long as you don't expect a view of course. The music was at first 'same all' but once Zorba was done, it actually got interesting - I was pleasantly surprised. The service was very good. I can't feel but be a little disappointed in the food as there are no other Greek restaurants in Lichfield and I really wanted to love it. I would not suggest it is avoided, not at all, just don't expect too much of the food for the price. The orange pie is amazing and a true Greek classic.

Very delicious food I felt like im in Greece it remained my holidays thiss place its going to be very famous ❤️❤️ please don’t change thanks for the service definitely coming back

Great little restaurant in Lichfield. Book ahead as this will become even more popular than it is already. Had the platter for 2. Great food, excellent staff and reasonably priced. Will be back soon to try the traditional Greek dishes.

The Greek food was lovely! Definitely go there again x

Absolutely great, friendly restaurant.All the staff are very kind.The food is always delicious, fresh and tasty. Real Greek ambience and welcoming to everyone. Whenever we go the restaurant is always full. This night the owners were so kind and the play Macedonian music, what was kindness way to made us welcome. We were singing and dancing all together. If you are fancy for Mediterranean food and ambiance I definitely recommend this restaurant .

We went really early, about 5pm as we were heading to the theatre later. I was surprised to find 4 other tables already seated. The restaurant had a great atmosphere even at that early time. The staff were attentive, friendly and quick. The menu was broad with plenty of choice for both meat and veggie eaters. It was actually hard to choose! All our meals were delicious and plentiful, I hope to go back, even though I'm not local it will be with the effort

Had a lovely meal here yesterday and great it was I must say! Weather was good and felt like we were on holiday. Great service too! Being Greek Cypriot ourselves, we tend to be a bit picky with finding good places to eat like this. Really enjoyed it. Thank you 😊

Beware of the Greek Chef who runs a bakery stall in the Riverside Market in Cardiff! I’m not sure if it’s the same guy/restaurant but after you place your order, he cuts the portion size in half to rip you off!! If this restaurant isn’t the same guy, then the restaurant should investigate because this guy is ruining your “brand”!

We loved it! Finally somewhere local that's nice. I do however wish they'd do the warm feta balls rolled in roasted walnuts and honey. I would even go as far to say: offer a half portion size too because there is a lot of food! Not complaining, was just devastated to waste it! Best fried halloumi I've ever had 😀 One negative which I'm hoping and sure is sorted. No tea or hot drinks available at the time. I also hope tea and coffee isn't served from a pod machine.

Fantastic food, great service. The first time I we have come here but can't wait to go back. We'll done

As a Greek restaurant in England it’s a very acceptable standard of Greek food. Portion sizes and prices were very good and we did have a good night. Mixed meat platter for two was a lot of fun and really good value for money. The pork souvlaki was the best - really good and tasted like the best ones you have in Greece. My only issue is the service - yes it’s quick and sure that’s great but you can get quick service anywhere. It wouldn’t hurt the owner to be a bit more talkative and smile a bit more! It’s a small ask but I don’t like feeling as if I’m being rushed in and out of a place. That’s just me however. I would go back and I did enjoy the meal.
