Family friends and I went to Tassili on Friday 11th May to celebrate my sisters birthday. What a wonderful experience. Firstly the food was absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all. I had the Lamb Tagine with prunes apricots and almonds, not something I would have cooked at home, it was divine. Loved the Moroccan decor, the service was excellent. Nice toilets too.

great place and food, don't understand someones comment about it being islamic? you wouldn't describe an more traditional place as christian? surely a better description would be that its typically moroccan? anyway visit here frequently and always top notch

We are frequent visitors to York and find getting a decent meal there difficult. Now we have found Tassili our problem has been solved. The food is delicious, extremely rich and very filling. It is also very well cooked and presented. The decor is authentically Islamic with contemporary features. The service was efficient and friendly and our four year old was very well catered for. The staff were happy to prepare simpler versions of the menu which she enjoyed eating. By the way, you may like to sample the mint tea, which is even better as an accompaniment than wine. It was made with rose water, was extremely refreshing and had a complex and satisfying taste.

Lived in York for a long time just visited Tassili on a recommendation by a friend. What can I say the food was sublime with a vast array of subtle flavourings which rested easily on the palette, the portions were generous, the wonderful chicken soup starter was a meal in itself. The wine list is small but the bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon we had was very complimentary to the lamb dish. Service was exemplary,well worth a visit.

We went to this restaurant on a rare evening out thanks to a babysitting opportunity and it was well worth the visit. Staff were lovely but leave you alone enough not to feel crowded, menu varied and the meal fantastic. Wine very reasonably priced. I had passed this place often and hardly noticed it as it is very understated but is a real find. Strongly recommend it.

we were the only people in the restaurant so ambience was bad. wine - practically no choice, we had 2 different bottles, both horrid. Starters too small for cost. main meal too expensive for what they are. one of us ordered chicken with carrots onions and olives. there were 46 olives on the plate!!! will not be returning

We had a great meal at Tassili on 16/9/11. We found the food excellent and the service even better. We would second everything in Judith and Ozzie reviews.

Just outside the city walls and away from the tourist traps Tassili is a real gem. The menu has a mouth watering array of North African dishes which are even better than their descriptions and the service is relaxed and professional. We are envious of the locals..

I have visited Tassili twice in the last month and have been amazed by the ambiente and quality of their food and service. Dining at Tassili makes you feel as if you are on holiday, the decor and accessories underpin the oriental flair. The service is perfect, staff are attentive yet not intrusive and the choice of different dishes is excellent and the food tastes superb. I particularly liked the option of ordering a starter as a slightly bigger portion - ideal for a late meal. I would highly recommend a visit.
