Zills - Tapas-Mezze-Lava Rock Grills

Yes its a great place to have a few tasty dishes and friendly staff. The atmosphere is Mediterranean, lively and great for a supper. We went before the theatre as its close by. The service was very efficient and I would definitely go back to Zills when I have my next visit to York

It was a little bit too dark to see the menu or our food which nonetheless was delicious

Lovely ambient atmosphere with music, warm and friendly personal service. Have visited now a few times and can’t wait until our next trip to York for another visit!

Very good. Great selection of Greek, Turkish and Spanish food. We had 6 dishes between the 2 of us. We will be back to try more.

Excellent service too.

Lovely food, great service, will definitely be going back.

Fabulous food and service!

The menu has changed since our last visit. The food wasn't quite as nice.

Me and my girlfriend were on a little break to York and decided to book a table here.

We both thought everything from the ambience right through to the food was outstanding.
The service was fantastic.
We ordered 4 of the veggie options, the prawns, hummus and a meat dish which I asked the server to surprise me.
The potato manchego and veg moussaka were particularly delicious.

The price was very reasonable too.

I couldn’t recommend this restaurant highly enough and we will definitely be returning on our next visit to York.

Incredibly tasty food, with fantastic service. Almost don't want to tell people how good it is so we can always get in! Joking aside, without doubt one of the best tapas / Mediterranean restaurants we've ever eaten in. Perfect.

Wonderful food, beautiful little place and excellent service. Top notch bargain!

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening out at Zills. The staff were great, and the food was excellent, all in a charming informal atmosphere that was just what we were looking for.

A lovely restaurant, lovely food, friendly welcome and just a good place to spend some unrushed time

Really good authentic food, with a good range of choice. Platters had a nice mix. Very pleasant service, good value for money.

Zills is a good place to go if you want a quick meal and don't mind over loud "background" music.

We went out for a leisurely evening meal but were in and out of Zills in 45 minutes flat! Food was OK but no better. Value wasn't great in my opinion at £30 per head for OK Mezze.

food was lovely, service great.. only quarm was the seating, squashed in like sardines and some tables where in silly places (me being a restaurant designer picked up on this) would recommend though :)

Lovely place to eat. Amazing tapas, good choice of dishes at good prices. Had issue with wrong charging on bill but this was rectified immediately and without fuss. Music a little loud for my liking though we were sat under the speaker. Really looking forward to another visit soon.

Waitress came over 3 times to check order (chaotic). Was over charged £20 for 3 items we did not order no apology.

Birthday weekend with the wifey, thoroughly enjoyed the meal here
Would definitely recommend

Second visit to this restaurant and same as the first excellent service. Food and alcohol 🥂 thoroughly enjoyable

Very accommodating and friendly, food was delicious. A hidden gem for sure!

Nice little place, service was very attentive, we had the special menu which was the mixed grill then we could choose four extra dishes from the tapas menu and ice cream. Fab! Will go again soon!!

What a great find in York.

The food we had was simply stunning - would recommend the calamari dish, but it was all lovely food.

Great value for money.

Just visiting York and looking for something a bit different for our evening meal
Front of House staff brilliant, but from the noise coming out of the kitchen, the chef didn’t look to be a happy chap☹️

Compact and friendly little restaraunt. Lovely background music and decent Greek wine. Food hot and tasty we had a veg platter and meat platter to share as a couple. Finished off with baklava sweet. It was midweek so fairly quiet and got fast and efficient service from young chap.

Lovely small restaurant with a pretty outdoor seating area. Very attentive and friendly service. The menu offers something for everyone, we choose four different meze as a starter, they were all delicious. We had the mixed grilled meats for our main course. The meats are cooked on lava rocks and tasted amazing. The lamb was our favourite and literally melted in the mouth. I would highly recommend Zills for it's lovely atmosphere, superb service and exceptional food. Excellent value for money.

Delicious food and good service, just felt it was expensive for a family of four and not the best value for money

Food was fantastic, service excellent. Many thanks

This is the 3rd time we have been for our wedding anniversary,
Would very much recommend. Excellent food and the staff are very attentive also not overly priced.

Really awesome food, friendly staff and just a great restaurant vibe. Would definitely go back!

Excellent food and service, highly recommend. Great quirky atmosphere, 100% better than chain restaurants

Wonderful food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend.

Well, what a lovely welcome we received on our slightly late arrival (got our Google map upside down 🙄). Called to say and the lovely young man gave us the last part of the directions,
Lovely, small tapas restaurant. Cosy, inviting and could be classed as romantic - we were 4 x 50 yr old school friends!
Food was explained really well, but I’d already been online to choose mine and boy it didn’t disappoint! Am the only veggie in my group and the others had food envy looking at mine. Would thoroughly recommend for a mixed group of meat/fish/veggie guests as there really is something for everyone.
P.S. my virtually alcohol free friend raves about the sangria. So much so she had a 2nd glass!

Excellent food and service but music a bit loud although member of staff did turn down when asked.

I would recommend Zills without hesitation - great food, great setting, great service. Perfect relaxed dining experience.

A great ambience, felt like you were somewhere Mediterranean rather than York. Excellent service, very relaxed. Food quality good, enjoyed several tapas, followed by kofte for my partner and lamb kebab, particularly good for myself. All washed down with resting. Would recommend to friends and hope to visit again in the near future.

Cracking little find brilliant atmosphere great music and food

Food was okay but not to die form Got 6 tapas between two of us. The lamb skewers were chewy and the cheese wraps very greasy. The prawns , moussaka, potatoes were nice. We asked for a selection of breads and oils we got one plain pitta bread and tasteless oil to dip it in. The music was so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. 6 small tapas and a bottle of Rosie wine £60. Not worth it.

Very nice food and great speedy service. I would definitely go back and recommend to others if they are in the area.

It’s only a small restaurant and on the night that we went, the three occupied tables left and we became the only ones in the restaurant. That said the background music (a mixture of blues, Spanish, Mediterranean) was excellent and added to the overall ambiance. The staff were friendly and service excellent. We had tapas and mezzo which were varied, well cooked and delicious, certainly as good as the best we have tasted in Spain and Greece. The wine list was not extensive but covered all the well known varieties. We chose a white Rioja and were not disappointed. Overall we were impressed with the restaurant and will certainly reserve a table on our next trip to York

Waiter nice but got our bill completely wrong and his excuse was ‘ I’m hopeless at Maths’!!!. Food ok but tiny tapas portions .. lamb and veggie mousakkas were no way like authentic .. just a bit of mince and potatoes or tomatoes and cheese. And both nearly£7 and 2 mouthfuls ! Mezex starter was half a pitta bread and some tsastki which was nice but £4.95 for not even a whole pitta bread! Best thing about this place was the wine which was nice
