Went to the eastern eye on a saturday night. It was very busy. As any restaurant saturday night must be busy. We where in group of 26. Me and my wifes anniversary party. @ 9 pm. We got our table straight away And papadum come on time. Food was also on time. We left at 12 midnight. Staff was happy. Food was superb. We had abdul special recommanded selection. Some people from london. Birmingham. Manchester in my wife family. They all made superb comment about food and service. This restaurant is very up market in lichfield. Many restaurant in lichfield. But eastern eye is where you get food with excellent taste and specials. Unusal dishes. we recommanded everyone to try. It is five star food.
We were looked after king Abdul Salam himself. He made our first experience at Eastern Eye a true experience of Indian /Bangladeshi cuisine. Food was excellent, high level of service place is impeccable. Highly recommend it. Btw, wear stretchy pants :)

My wife and i eat at The Eastern Eye at least once a month, sometimes with friends, sometimes with the "children" (23 year old twins!) and always receive a friendly welcome. The food is always first class and portions are more than sufficient. We recommend Eastern Eye to anyone who is looking for a fine curry in a friendly atmosphere
Doctor Azani. My visit with friend and family, eastern eye is now call AbdulS Restaurant, we have lovely food, and services, there is now open Kitchen, you can see how the Chef Cook, my Daughter she love to see how chef cook, we all had good time,
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.
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
Delicious food. Each and every one of them.
The manager - Abdul, served us and he adjusted my curry because I wanted it to be with tomatoes. That was very kind. I loved this gesture.
Definitely visit this place when you are In Lichfield 👍

Fabulous food, lovely staff and a friendly atmosphere. Decor is stylish and the restaurant is so clean... So much nicer than the Indian restaurant not so far away!
We had poppadoms, 2 main dishes, masala fries, garlic naan and 2 glasses of wine £48 😊
Enjoyed an early evening meal with family.
Do not get to Lichfield very often but we always eat at the Eastern Eye when we are in town.
The food is primarily what we go for but the welcome and service are always first class.
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 👏
This is an absolutely amazing restaurant, perhaps one of the best curries I've ever eaten. We were a party of seven and they hosted us brilliantly.
I had the Chicken Choyla for an appetiser. Portion size was spot on and it was bursting with flavour. Others with me had the Crispy Chicken and the Sheekh Kebab, and they were equally sensational.
I had the Lamb Handi as a main. The lamb was so tender and marinaded and cooked to perfection. A range of dishes were ordered and everyone had nothing but good things to say, with the Chicken Apricot Kubana and Chicken Keshabpuri as additional highlights. The Butter Chicken was raved about also.
The breads and rice's matched the quality of the mains. Nans were fluffy and fresh. Chapatis were that good mix of chewy and flavoursome.
Portion sizes were spot on and there was a generous amount of meat in each dish, something than can be something of an issue elsewhere.
The staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Had a peek into the immaculate kitchen and was greeted with smiles.
Treat yourself and go. You won't regret it.
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.
