If I had a problem with it it would be that you have used a transitive verb intransitively. This is not necessarily a big problem if the object is understood, e.g., when a waiter sets a plate of food in front of you and says, "Enjoy." Your friends might be bothered by their notion that the correct word would be engaging although they may not have expressed it that way.
