Posted Monday, February 4, 2008 We had the lunch menu and found it excellent. the service was perfect and the peace and quite and wonderful views ensured we will go back. good value for money. Quality Service Value Juliet Posted Monday, January 14, 2008 The once great Tiggis has of late, and continues to, take a nose dive into oblivion. The food as others have commented upon, was at best pedestrian, and at worst depressing. Having complained to the owner i now know where the staff get their arrogant and condescending manner. The only redeeming quality was the excellent service at the bar. Quality Service Value Edward Paddington Posted Thursday, December 20, 2007 I have eaten at Tiggis several times over the past few years & sadly the service & quality of the quisine has dropped dramatically. The waiting staff are arrogant having kept us waiting over an hour and a quarter for our meal, & then were quite surly & abrupt when I dared question the length of time taken to prepare our meal when the restaurant wasn't overly busy. In essence, avoid this place as the food has gone from very good to mediocre & the service is appalling. This place sadly trades on its former good reputation which it appears to be losing at great speed Quality Service Value Chris Posted Monday, November 5, 2007 Have eaten at tiggis many times and have always thoroughly enjoyed our meal and the service received . the staff are extremely helpful and have always been nothing but friendly to us . does get very busy on fri and sat evening , so do expect delays !!  but forget the other reviews and give it a try . i,m sure , like us , you wont be dissappointed !! Quality Service Value Louise Posted Thursday, September 13, 2007 Avoid this place like the plague.  Food is at best average, service is the worst I have ever had and the staff are just plain rude. Will never hand over another penny of my hard earned wages to this so called restaurant. Quality Service Value Catherine Posted Thursday, August 9, 2007 I have never been motivated enough to write comments/reviews about any restaurant that I have visted until now.  Never in my life have I or my partner been treated to such sub-human service.  This places looks good from the decor - very 21st century.  However, their service is appauling, all very rude (with the exception of Lotsee)  This was my first visit to this place, who claim to call themselves a restaurant and can assure you will be my last.  If you like to spend your hard earned cash on a highly bad customer service where most of the staff have a frosty attitude, which emulates that of their Manager and Owner and the food is very average then this is definitely the place to go! Marie Parris Posted Monday, July 25, 2007 Having been to Tiggis in the past and enoyed it as a slightly more expensive restaurant, I decided to take a group of friends for my birthday. Unfortunately, we wound up with a rude waitress who left us waiting at the bar for our table for 45 mins, despite the fact the table was free and she knew we were waiting. We then ordered our food - when the main meals arrived, they all came at separate times. When I finally got served, mine was cold - along with about half of the rest of my group. When we complained, the waitress did not apologise and simply snatched our food away, returning with new meals some time later - by which time I was not hungry anymore and the other half of the group had finished their meals. The waitress was extremely rude in her approach to the whole situation - especially considering it was my birthday. After writing a letter to complain to the manager, I received no reply whatsoever. Food is good, but you risk it being cold and paying an arm and a leg for it and you run the risk of having the same waitress. My advice, try elsewhere!! Quality Service Value Deborah Posted Monday, June 18, 2007 Used to be good in the early days, but alas no longer.  Went last year and was very disappointed with the meal, tried again this week - No improvement!!!! They preferred to serve a table of around 15 rather than our table of 3 eventhough we were there first, and three times we had asked if we could place our order, and they said the Manager was taking the orders.  Sadly we walked out half way down our bottle of wine, without our meal.  Risk it at your own expense!! I certainly will not be going there again!! Audrey Posted Monday, June 4, 2007 Been quite a few times recently before it has got busy on the weekends and had a lovely time, nice chilled music and a forever smiling waiter.  must admit to agreeing with some of the more negative comments though too.  worth a try though. Quality Service Value Beth Posted Monday, March 12, 2007 Lunch at Tiggis is great. At the stroke of 12.30 this place becomes quietly alive. The food is terrific, service is friendly and prices are just right. Forget the other customer reviews - give it a try you and be amazed! Quality Service Value Bob Posted Thursday, December 21, 2006 It was a Friday evening and early December but the service was very poor and the meal portions were small and there was not enough vegetables to go around everyone on our table.  So overall we were disappointed especially as we had not been there before.  The only bonus was that it had a busy atmosphere.  Will not be going again Quality Service Value Michelle Posted Monday, December 11, 2006 Restaurant from hell. Inflated prices not matched by quality. The highlight was the sight of a pizza that had more in common with the Iceland supermarket than a reputable eatery .  You know when your in trouble when you get served A dollop of cold tuna on a cold crusty thin wafer that takes two people to break apart and serve. Manager was pre- occupied with his attractive friends at the corner of the bar than his clients and when I complained about the food he shrugged his peak shoulders and shuffled off towards towards a tall brunette. I am seasoned restaurant man with no axe to grind but this has to be without any doubt the worst I have experienced for some time. Please avoid at all costs Quality Service -  Value Nad Posted Wednesday, September 13, 2006 Great food and service have been on lots of different days and nights. Never had any problems , with he staff or food . Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: All of it Keith Posted Tuesday, May 16, 2006 I think Tiggis just want to attract decent clientele and get rid of the unpleasant people that frequent there late weekend evenings. I have always been treated excellently, enjoy the food and atmosphere but I do avoid Fri and Sat evenings. Favourite Meal: Many of them Quality Service Value Felicity Posted Sunday, May 7, 2006 Wonderful, had a fantastic time, lively atmosphere. the food was terrific very tasty! recommend to everyone - Perfect! FavouriteMeal: love tiramisu! best I've had yet! Quality Service Value Eleanor Vale Posted Tuesday, April 11, 2006 I have visited Tiggis on several occasions... the food has never disappointed, the Maitre D' always goes out of his way to recommend a good wine, the staff are friendly and attentive. I was there a couple of Fridays ago when one rather inebriated gentleman of foreign extraction decided to try to stand on the table to entertain us with singing (in an unfathomable language, somewhat out of tune) and dancing , of sorts. It is to the Managers credit that he was able to subjugate this harmless person with minimal fuss and without distracting the enjoyment of other guests. May I strongly suggest to the supercilious clientele who have made negative comments to please take their business elsewhere where their egotistical, condescending attitudes may be pandered to in the submissive manner which they mistakenly believe that they are entitled to. Quality Service Value Suzanne Posted Wednesday, February 8, 2006 Waited over an hour for  a meal that arrived cold. Very small portions at inflated prices. Spoke to the manager who was arrogant and offensive-he threatened to call the police when we said we were not going to pay for the meal and got his heavy mob at the door to prevent us leaving-we paid reluctantly. This was my friend's hen night which was spoilt by this man's offensive manner. Will never go again and neither should anyone else!! Quality Service Value Jo Posted Monday, February 6, 2006 We took two friends friends of ours there for a meal on Saturday, it was busy but seats were available.  There wasn't anyone to ask if there was a table free, so we purchased some drinks and sat down, a waiter came and took our food order and ten minutes later another waiter asked us to leave and said that the table was reserved, there were no signs indicating this but we moved back to the bar area. 40 minutes later there was still no one sitting at the table and we found the attitude of the staff arrogant to say the least.  Do not give these people your money there are better places in Solihull with more pleasant staff and better value for money Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: Steak Roger L Posted Monday, February 6, 2006 It was my hen party last night, im getting wed on valentines day in Gretna, no one is coming so wanted a special night out with 10 of my closest friends. We chose Tiggis for this, how wrong we were. horrid, rude, arrogant manager threatened to have us removed as we dared to complain that the food was cold!! we had waited from 9.15 til 10pm to have our meal, we were so hungry after this wait that we ate it, when we told the manager he said "you ve eaten it, it must of been ok" He proceeded to tell us that he had phoned the owner of Tiggis at home who had told him that we were obviously "professional complainers"(!!!!!!!!!)and to have us removed!! Please beware. Quality  - Service  - Value  - Jane Posted Friday, December 16, 2005 Attended with a works party for our Christmas get together. Food was quite nice but that is it!. Could not move in the place. Told to hurry up and eat our meal as they wanted to bring in the next sitting 30 minutes early. Told us to sit outside whilst they sorted diners out and then refused to let us back in as we had under 25's in the party!!. Complained to the manager who's said, he owned the place and had a business to run, if we didn't like it go elsewhere. That was after we had parted with about £500!!!. DONT DONT DONT book your Xmas party at this arrogant hell hole!! Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: Lamb LD, Solihull Posted Tuesday, December 6, 2005 Excellent on Friday and Saturday night for dancing and having fun.  Waiters are a bit arrogant but it adds to the charm of the place. The new champagne bar and decor are fantastic. I highly recommend Tiggis for a good enjoyable night out.  New Saturday night DJ is superb and plays music for all ages which was drastically need to attract more young people! Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: mushroom pizza Kelly One of the leading brands in online retail, regularly have some of the best deals on TV’s, PC’s,  Camcorders & Cameras...not to mention CD & DVD bargains!  All with Free Delivery. Highly Recommended Posted Monday, December 5, 2005 We eat at Tiggis regularly. It changes it's character depending upon the day and the time. If you like noise, atmosphere and organised chaos go Friday or Saturday night. If you want a good meal and be able to hear, go midweek. If you have young children and want adult food and pizzas, go early evening or lunchtime. Generally it's great and we never have a problem getting a table Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: the steak Tarryn Posted Thursday, October 13, 2005 For the food you get its brilliant value, great atmosphere, lovely smiling waitress. i think the bad revues are based on the stuck up attitude of the people in Solihull- like to complain about everything and nothing is ever good enough. being a waitress i can understand when service may lack slightly when it is a busy Friday or Saturday night. i don't think anyone could do any better under those kind of circumstances. cant wait to go again Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: tiger prawns Jenny Posted Monday, September 5, 2005 Terrible!  waiting for a refund! Quality Service Value Steve Posted Wednesday, August 31, 2005 I don't like Tiggis......I just don't like Tiggis. Dan Posted Monday, July 25, 2005 Very poor overall, could not get a table over a week in advance and was told what time I had to eat not given any choice. Bland food yuck ! Quality Service Value Favourite: nothing My little pony Posted Friday, May 20, 2005 Would not advise any1 to go there! RUDE MANAGER, poor service and food! my previous visit was 2 years ago, and it is obvious to see there has been some staff changes, in both the kitchen and restaurant! food was previously of a very good standard, now it is fast food pre cooked rubbish! complaints are just brushed aside by arrogant manager who said if we were not happy, to go elsewhere! Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: coffee An ex customer Posted Thursday, April 7, 2005 Popped into Tiggis the other Saturday with my mother had a lovely meal, a great venue friendly staff. Quality Service Value Favourite: tiger prawns Jayne.v Posted Wednesday, March 2, 2005 Be careful this restaurant. Despite the menu stating that the meals are inclusive of VAT and 10% service charge they always add on another 10% Quality Service Value Top Man Posted Monday, November 15, 2004 Tiggis is a lovely place to eat, great atmosphere. Charming brunette waitress, very polite and a beautiful smile. Maybe we could have enjoyed the service of the other staff if they actually spoke English. She seemed to have to translate for everyone else working there! Quality Service Value Favourite: Lovely interesting pizzas Ian and Family Posted Monday, November 15, 2004 There is a good atmosphere in this restaurant, however I found the staff inattentive and miserable, not to mention the arrogant manager! Our waitress could not understand English very well. The pasta was very bland, but the portion was good. Quality Service Value Tracy Posted Monday, August 23, 2004 Very disappointed with my first time here. Tiny portions, (Pasta main course is smaller than I'd expect for a starter), and tasteless food.  Couple that with a vastly overpriced menu and you bet I wont be coming here again. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: One at a different restaurant Gordon Posted Monday, August 16, 2004 Bring back Saturday DJ. Where has he gone? Sara Posted Friday, July 23, 2004 Having read the reviews on this website I was a bit unsure about going to Tiggis, but a work colleague reassured me they had been a number of times & had no complaints. Maybe they have taken note of the feed-back as we went & had a really nice meal. The staff were all very polite & attentive. The food was very good. Quality Service Value RS Posted Monday, June 7, 2004 Waiters rude! Quality Service Value Favourite meal: pasta Michael Posted Tuesday, May 18, 2004 It is a nice place for a pizza, but the service is terrible. Every time I go I leave thinking about not coming back!!!! And I am not the only one. Quality Value Favourite Meal: pizza Sil Posted Monday, May 17, 2004 Never been to Solihull before, and our staff hotel recommended Tiggis. My wife and I went in early Saturday evening with our two boys (7 and 11). Thought the place had a lively atmosphere, good food and excellent friendly service - we all had a great time. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: Any of the pizzas Paul Edwards Posted Wednesday, April 7, 2004 Food average/ok. Staff some of the rudest have have ever come across, complete lack of manners and they swan around the place with an air of arrogance. I actually complained the last (and I mean LAST) time I went there. I would recommend Tiggis if you wish to be spoken to like dirt and leered at (despite being with my boyfriend) by the male waiters. Quality Service Value Michelle Posted Monday, April 5, 2004 I used to work at Tiggis and I think you just can't like this place! Even if every now and then you are not happy with something, you will go back there anyway. This is the place to be! I would like to say hello to all the "Tiggis people", especially to the staff!!! Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: pasta-pick any Monika Szelag Posted Thursday, April 1, 2004 The interior decor is marvellous but the food is awful, I have eaten here twice now, the second time was not by choice. The staff are rude, and the food was quite expensive.  There were three of us and we ordered a Sunday dinner which came to over £70.00 but still left us feeling hungry. Quality Service Value Miranda Posted Monday, March 29, 2004 It was a busy Saturday lunch time, but we managed to get a table in the window. The food (pasta, side salad, bread) was good, served quickly by efficient friendly waiters.  A very pleasant afternoon.  Thankyou Tiggi's Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: the Carbonnara was most enjoyable. Gail Harris Posted Wednesday, March 17, 2004 Good foods, the restaurant is nice and quiet except for Thursday nights, the band is so noisy.  staff are a bit arrogant perhaps they are italian ? Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: fish Big eater I have been twice in two weeks to Tiggis, they are excellent value and the service (contrary to some reviews) is very good.  The staff are polite and helpful; they aren't teenagers, but what's the problem if they are!  They are in an excellent location and if you go, try and get a window table.  You can see out the front of the Touchwood centre.  They do an offer where you can eat any pizza or pasta for £5.  It's the cheapest place in Solihull for quality food and it's a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: Hmm.. Try something you don't usually have!  T Truscott Posted Friday, March 12, 2004 I have been twice in two weeks to Tiggis, they are excellent value and the service (contrary to some reviews) is very good.  The staff are polite and helpful; they aren't teenagers, but what's the problem if they are!  They are in an excellent location and if you go, try and get a window table.  You can see out the front of the Touchwood centre.  They do an offer where you can eat any pizza or pasta for £5.  It's the cheapest place in Solihull for quality food and it's a pleasant atmosphere in the restaurant Quality Service Value Favourite Meal: Hmm.. Try something you don't usually have!  T Truscott Posted Friday, January 2, 2004 Went to Tiggis on New Years Eve with my girlfriend place was packed, service a little slow but to be expected on this particular night, the atmosphere at midnight was awesome. Well done to the DJ he kept us dancing all night. keep it up. Quality Service Value Steve and Jules Posted Saturday, December 6, 2003 WOW. What has happened to Tiggis. Went there on my friends Hen night last weekend, had a great meal, good laugh with the waiters and the music afterwards was fantastic. Great atmosphere. Thanks everyone. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - Had a great pasta dish Sara xx Posted  Monday, September 8, 2003 Tiggis in Solihull is not a patch on the original Tiggis Restaurants in the North West of England. The food is ok, but they seem to have invested too much in the decor rather than the service. The layout is more orientated to groups where you probably won't notice the poor service. I object to being served by snotty teenagers who have never gone out for a meal themselves and consequently don't even know that they have not brought the Parmasan, the Black Pepper or warmed the brandy glass. The food was ok but I won't be queuing to get in here again. If you must eat in touchwood, go across to La Tasca. Quality Service Value Dave Posted Saturday, August 23, 2003 Great night out, best food in a long time. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - butterfly pasta in a cream sauce with smoked salmon Kelly Posted Friday, August 22, 2003 Visited when the restaurant was first opened, and the meal was delightful. Visited a couple of weeks ago and was dished up something that was obviously microwaved as it arrived no more than 3 minutes after we'd ordered, garlic bread was burnt and service was typical of many places these days, run by youngsters with little or no idea! Kim Posted Thursday, July 17, 2003 Food very good, but service is amateurish and full of attitude. Door staff threatening and totally over the top. I won't be back, Ever. Quality Service Value Annoyed Posted Monday, March 31, 2003 After Saturday I'll never be dining in Tiggis again, Its gone very down hill and tacky and lacks any real atmosphere plus I felt the service was awful and the attitude of the bouncer was disgusting as he seemed more intent in staring at me and my wife and generally acting hard that we decided to leave early. Its a shame because we liked Tiggis when it first opened but its gone way off the boil in my view. Quality Service Value Steven Baker Posted Thursday, March 20, 2003 I found its a great place to go for a relaxing meal when they have jazz evenings on, a very pleasant atmosphere, which makes for an enjoyable evening. Quality Service Value Charlie Posted Thursday, March 20, 2003 Very nice place, but not enough veggie food. Quality Service Value Anon Posted Friday, February 7, 2003 I went to book a Valentines meal but was very disappointed at the lack of choice for the veggie option. Emma Posted Thursday, 6 February, 2003 Quite simply the best restaurant in Solihull, fantastic food, good atmosphere and service, also good selection of wines. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - Chicken cooked in champagne and Lamb in a sauce, Darren and Bern Posted Thursday, January 23, 2003 FANTASTIC!!! got to GO! Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - All of them Brian Really nice restaurant and great food and the staff are polite. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - pizza / margarita Anon 29 September 2002 Posted Monday, January 13, 2003 We really enjoyed going to this restaurant when it first opened. However, we have been deterred from visiting again after being treated very abruptly, not to say rudely when we asked for a table one evening in early December. The restaurant was not full. It was after 10pm, but we had visited the restaurant at the same time (after concerts in Birmingham) on many previous occasions. On previous occasions the owner had been present, and he always insisted on high levels of courtesy and service. He was absent on our last visit. Perhaps this is what made the difference. We would like to go again, but are reluctant to expose ourselves to such discourtesy when there are many other places to go. Quality Service Value Favourite Meal - Prawn Risotto Janice Posted 20 September 2002 Excellent - a good night out for all. Favourite meal: too many to name Quality Service Value Linzi Posted 17 May 2002 Excellent food and service.  We have dined on many occasions and the quality is always consistent.  Particularly like the dancing at weekends and the 'DJ in the cupboard' Rog Posted  08 November 2001 Great food and fit waitresses I felt great the atmosphere was kicking' . RIBENA I took my girl Ruth with me it was excellent. Chris Allsop Posted 05 November 2001 Lovely food and drink we had a great time and the service was excellent very friendly and the chocolate ice cream was loved by my daughter Emily. EXCELLENT. Liz Keates Posted 29 October 2001 I thought it was a lovely atmosphere although I did not like it when the owner started a conversation with me while I was trying to enjoy a meal with my wife. Micheal Ray Posted 06 October 2001 Simply one of the best in Solihull. Good food and service. Mabdel Chakar
