Sebz in Gloucester

Surprisingly nice restaurant, good food, and REALLY friendly staff . It is such an enjoyable experience to have dine in. Coming back again with friends!

Haven’t been for a long time, really happy it’s just as great as I remember! 5/5

Lovely place to go for a great meal for the . Lovely and inviting environment . A great service from management to staff and barman all A+ . Have a try Portuguese food it's amazing, and have a try on the different tapas they are amazing. It is a great place to have a wonderful meal and enjoy with family and friends, even party events . Have a go and try it you won't regret.

As always, one of the best restaurants in Gloucester Amazing food, prices and the waitress is absolutely fabulous

This was a lovely place to eat. The food was delicious, good sized portions and value for money. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend a visit. 10/10.

Lovely restaurant with a wide selection of delicious tapas dishes. Vegetarian options well catered for.

Another one star review which I feel a need to counterbalance. I usually go to Sebz on a Friday lunchtime. These past few weeks have been very quiet. Sometimes there are two or three other tables. Sometimes I am the only customer. While this means I can chat with the lovely Eva, I'm sure Seb would prefer she was rushed off her feet! The food is still excellent: the prawns are fat and juicy in a spicy sauce, the beef is rich and tender, the pork is melt-in-the-mouth. So, come along and see for yourselves. Make Seb a happy man! (Something yet to be experienced.)

Friendly staff, got a nice coffee when I delivered their meat.

What a gem to be found in Gloucester. A super friendly welcome and service. The food was amazing. We had 3 tapas each and all were beautiful. My husband said he had never had calamari as good as the ones served here. My favorites were the goats cheese Tart, the salt Cod fish cakes and the stuffed mushrooms. The wine was superb and at under £24 very reasonable!

Fabulous paella with loads of seafood : prawns x langoustine x chicken x mussels clams and spicy sausage x large glass of Sangria x first pic the paella the second the shells etc x

The best tapas in Gloucestershire! Amazing food. Friendly staff and gorgeous wine. Have been here many times and I’m always impressed. Great value as well. You have to try this place!

Always a great dine-out experience! Highly recommend for an All You Can Eat Tapas venue

Very tasty food lots to choose from

Seriously the best food I've had in an age. Best olives ever; wife hates olives and she loved them. Tapas perfect as was service. Cannot recommend enough to anyone who loves Mediterranean food.

A visit to Seb’s after many years away. Sadly nowhere near as nice as our first. Perhaps unlucky as we arrived on a midweek evening when it was quiet. It was hard to find anything positive to say about any of our 6 tapas dishes. Awful overcooked prawns in a bowl of tepid, tasteless liquid. Mushrooms that tasted soapy, a paella with nothing in it, average overall just way way way below average. Even the glass of wine I ordered tasted odd. I am sure a one off as past reviews are very good - but we sadly won’t be hurrying back despite the nice service.

I have been coming to Sebz once a week now for around 20 years. I am so familiar with the place that I have never bothered to write a review, but when I saw the one star review posted here a few days ago, I had to say something. The poster described Seb (the owner and sometime chef) as being sexist and xenophobic. Whilst he could never be described as a ray of sunshine or a perfect optimist, I have never, in 20 years, heard that man make any such remarks. Further, he has never mentioned Indian immigrants or Brazilians in Portugal at all (and we have had weekly discussions about politics, Portugal, Madeira, the UK and the EU.) I would also like to add that the food is delicious and the service excellent (often thanks to the lovely Eva.) Just don't get him started about football...

Absolutely dreadful experience! The salmon dish arrived with cold, fridge-tasting salmon, and the bread was stale, hard, and drenched in oil. However, the low point was yet to come. During our family lunch, the owner made utterly unacceptable remarks that were both sexist and xenophobic. As a Portuguese restaurateur, he saw fit to disparage Indian immigrants in England, drawing an inappropriate parallel to Brazilians in Portugal. His comments were not only rude but completely uncalled for. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this establishment.

Always good services & food is quality as well. Never been disappointed going here over the years. Recommend the tapas all day long.

There are a lot of good reviews for Sebz and I don't know if it was a bad day, but the food was awful.. It looks nothing like the nice pictures they have up. As a previous comment has put 'It was like childrens party food from Iceland' There are few places I tell people to not go to and Sebz is one of them. The Olives and bread were pretty nice to be fair..

My partner and I had a fantastic meal. I am a huge tapas fan and Sebz did not disappoint. The service was excellent and we were served 13 lovely tapas dishes in the space of 40 minutes which was very impressive! It was also reasonably priced too.

Today was the 1st time I have ever been to this restaurant. I worked opposite for nearly 5 years around 15 years ago and never been lol. My joint birthday & valentines celebrated a week late, but I finally chose here. I do need to start off by saying that I have had gastric sleeve surgery and can only eat small amounts of food, one reason I chose Tapas. This restaurant is always busy, so hubby chose a Tuesday. Thankfully, it was quiet. My hubby also chose tapas rather than pizza. 3 dishes in a week day is £16.95. We started off with Mozzerela bread. Deep base bread, with garlic butter & motz with a thin crust bread on top. Unique style, very nice & not overly garlicky. I recommend it. Hubby chose calamari, belly pork & beef in sauce. Polished it all off. I had hallpumi in honey with letters, calamari & pork ribs in bbq sauce. Omg I have to say, it's not tapas as I know it. These are not small dishes. We could have shared the 3 plates I had, not buying 3 each 🤣. They should have been smaller or offered a smaller mini selection for small eaters as I now am. The ribs were amazing. Melt in the mouth. Had 7 large ribs. 3 would have been perfect. I should have chosen another tapas rather than the calamari & halloumi. The calamari was too many, at least 15 on the plate. 5 is enough. And despite nice thin batter, it was way too salty, and I could only eat 3. Such a waste of food. The halloumi was a mistake for me, very squeaky it Sent shivers down my spine. I just had 2 small corners off it. I would have preferred it as battered fries with a chilli jam or something. That was also a waste of food. It was half a block. The resurarant is clean, tidy, clutter free, and I love the layout & mood lighting. I have 1 additional negative. It was too cold and there was no heating. It was a cold, wet night and felt as cold inside until I got back home. Hence my 4* rating. I would revisit again 1 day. But further surgery will prevent this as I could just not cope with so much food and waste of food & money. I am glad I finally got to go. If offered a daytime, bottomless brunch tapas style, this would be ideal 👌

Visited tonight and the food was delicious. We had the all you can eat tapas and it was a great selection to choose from. I enjoyed a glass of sangria with it. Great service from the waiter / host too.

Not eaten here in a while as our last meal there wasn’t great. But my husband said let’s try it again , they had a last minute table available, we turned up a little earlier than the time I booked over the phone, but we were seated straight away, the waiting staff lovely, particularly the lady, very attentive and friendly. The food was tasty, hot and fresh, we were recommended the potato bread that was made in house, well worth the extra , absolutely delicious. Sangria tasty too. I was too stuffed for a pudding, but they had a special on that was a chocolate carrot cake, so the waitress said she wrapped it for me for a takeaway . I had it today and I can confirm it was gorgeous. Definitely will be going again. Thanks. Keep it up guys.

The staff were very friendly and professional, service was excellent and quantity and quality was very good. Had the selection of 3 Tapas each and was good for lunch.

Another lovely evening at Sebz. Service and atmosphere were as always 100%. Food was cooked really well and had lots of flavour, I dropped a score as the bread on brushetta was hard and calamari not normal standards, which was a shame. We will be going back, out of the many dozens visits we've had this is the first time we didn't enjoy all the food

We had a pleasant meal, but the menu choices were limited. Sadly we were the only group in the restaurant for the whole evening, so there was no atmosphere. The tables are too small when people have the tapas choice.

Great service and friendly welcome but unfortunately disappointed in the taste and quality of the food.

Had the all you can eat option at a work do for £25.99. Loads of food with lots of different choices coming out. Lovely, friendly service.

We love dining at Sebz. The food, service, and atmosphere are amazing. We try to visit every time we come to Gloucester.

Amazing it is always the best place in Gloucestershire for a date night . Love the staff they are so friendly and 😊

We arrived relatively early at roughly 5pm to an empty restaurant and positively greeted by the lovely waitress (Eva I believe her name was?). We were seated on a fairly uncomfortable chair in quite a dim area, so was quite difficult to see what was happening on the table when eating. After being seated we were quickly asked about drinks and were presented with a menu. We went with a Sangria (which was out of this world!) and a Coca Cola. After this arrived, our food order was taken to which was a poorly presented menu with fairly confusing instructions and terrible descriptions for the food items, not to mention the fact the menu itself was a bulky slat of wood - weird idea? Despite us being the only customers at the time of being served, it still took 45 minutes for our first round of courses to arrive. Food Ordered: // Chicken stuffed with mozzarella — Dense as a rock, had a really solid texture on the inside and was very chewy for a piece of chicken. Felt like I was eating gum. Parma ham was nice and well baked on the outside. // Piri Piri Chicken — Similar texture problem to the previous. Most of the chicken items received were either thighs or leg, and didn’t actually have much “meat” on them, majority was either carcass or pure bone(inedible). Sauce itself was tasty, quite thin in terms of consistency though - normally I’d opt for a slightly thicker option but nice nonetheless. // Fried Potatoes — Basically just cubes of potatoes stuck in a deep fat fryer drowned in salt. Nothing special at all. Dip provided was way too spicy and overpowering to accompany the food, wouldn’t recommend. // Breaded Mozzarella Bites?? — Coating was cohesive and crispy, though very bland. It came glazed in honey, presentation of that looked abysmal (literally looked like the honey was dropped and drowning the poor cheese bites :(). Honey had a chilli taste too it, far too overpowering for this dish. Additionally, as you work your way through multiple courses, you’ll begin to realise your portion sizes getting increasingly smaller. For example, on the first round of Piri Piri Chicken, I was presented with a leg, breast, and thigh. On the second round a leg and thigh. Third round, just 2 thighs, of which 80% was inedible. I’ve seen better food presentation done by my younger brother in his secondary school catering lessons than here. It’s kind of just shamelessly thrown on a plate and served to the table. This put me off the food before I even entered the building. If it wasn’t for a very excited partner looking to relive her childhood memories at this place, I wouldn't have come. Disappointing to say the least. Menu choice was pretty s*** to say the least. Wouldn’t say this represents a med tapas restaurant, and to echo a previous review, it looks like a bunch of Iceland party food bits smacked into a bowl and nuked in the microwave for 60 seconds. For 26£ each, I expected world class hospitality. I’d expect this quality from a chicken shop on Barton street delivered by an Uber eats driver called Akmed. Not to mention, when ordering our 2nd round of items, the bald bowling ball chef rolled down the stairs and began shouting at the waitress about our order due to her poor handwriting. He seemed very stressed about a table of two, must burst a few blood vessels cooking for a table of 3! Where the waitress was lovely, and she definitely helped during our evening meal, she was rather eager to share her art with us and proceeded to showcase it to us, amongst other tables of which we observed during the evening. I wouldn’t say she forced us, but she was rather keen to put us in a position where we should buy a card from her, which as far as I’m aware - wasn’t a part of the Sebz business. The item was lovely however, though she insisted we pay cash for the item. When we noted we were not able to do this, she added it to the bill and we were charged service charge on that amount! All in all, this put us off significantly and won’t be returning to somewhere that treats their staff and customers so poorly.

A hidden gem of Gloucester serving Tapas at fair prices. We came in the late afternoon on a Saturday when it was reasonably quiet and had an excellent experience. We were asked if we wanted to try the homemade bread, a cheesy garlic sourdough-style bread that cost £5.50. It was excellent, and we had no regrets. We each ordered 3 tapas and our total bill was £43 inclusive of a 10% service charge, which we were happy to pay. The tapas was delicious with fair portion sizes considering the quality on offer - the peppers stuffed with rice and patatas bravas were both particularly nice. The hostess was especially accommodating with respect to allergies. We will be back.

What the heck was I just served?! This in no way resembles Mediterranean tapas. More like a child's buffet of the Iceland frozen party food section served at my 6th birthday disco. Bland, random, poor quality. Staff then proceeded to try and overcharge the table by £100 of 'service fee'. We didn't pay this, you shouldn't either. No real vegan options either for vegan guests, and the general price is extortionate for the toot they serve here. £5 for 3 scoops of the worst quality vanilla ice cream for a 'dessert'. Also, make sure to bring arctic level ski jackets for the toilet or you're at risk of catching hypothermia. All in all, broaden your horizons and literally eat anywhere else. Taco Bell a few streets down would give you a more authentic international cuisine experience.

Needed somewhere quick to eat and found my new favourite restaurant! The waitress was super nice, offered us some Portuguese potato bread before our meals came out. We had the tapas, and everything was so tasty. Cooked perfectly, well thought out portion sizes, and for a reasonable price too! The lighting and atmosphere was perfect, made some great photos!

We had an absolutely delicious dinner made up of six different tapas. Very hard to say which one we preferred because each was so savory and good. The restaurant is bright and colorful and Eva our server was lovely, attentive and charming. We will return next time we are in Gloucester. Bonus points for being open on a Monday night!

Very tasty and filling food with great service. The home made bread and passion fruit cake were devine too.

Good food relaxed atmosphere friendly staff

Great food, great atmosphere and excellent service.

Visited with my husband, we both chose from the tapas menu.A la carte and pizzas also available.The tapas was great, potions were generous.3 dishes per person was plenty, plus we had a delicious portion of garlic bread, great for finishing up the sauces.

If you are expecting Spanish tapas at this restaurant you might as well go to McDonald’s.

It was nice but fount rushed with are food as starters hadn’t been cleaned yet and Mains arrived ……………..

What a lovely place! We were visiting gloucester and took a chance picking a place. Sebs is fantastic. The menu is pretty simple but the tapas all you can eat is great value. We chose 12 dishes and all were so tasty. Their meat is some of the best cooked meat I've eaten in years, especially the spare ribs. The meat just fell off the bone. Highly recommended!

First time visiting, food was great value for the money and great service

The food was absolutely delicious and the service was second to none. This place is a real gem and never fails to deliver. I would thoroughly recommend a visit.

Really lovely restaurant tucked away in the least likely of places. Very friendly attentive staff

Had a lovely meal here,we have visited sebs many times over the years but we have moved away and thought we would try it as we are visiting in Gloucester.We were not disappointed,Even though the Tapas menu has changed a little (non of the delicious tomatoes and mozzarella or the tomato &onion bruchetta) but what is on the menu is delicious.The stand out dishes for ourselves was the belly pork and the dauphinoise potatoes. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning when we are next in Gloucester.

WOW what a transformation!!! I went to Sebz many years ago and the restaurant was was dark and had little atmosphere. Well, I had dinner there last Friday and the restaurant was completely updated, light and bright and very welcoming. atmosphere terrific. The staff were very friendly, service great, Food really good. altogether a completely different experience. I will definitely be back and take more friends. well done Sebz. love the new look. thank you.

Family meal for a party of 9 of us, service and food werw both excellent

Amazing Amazing Amazing. A party of 10 of us and the food just kept coming. ALL tasted awesome 👌 👏

Saw tapas deal, all you can eat £24.95. Or 3 dishes for around £15 until 7pm (on a saturday). The young lady who served us looked rushed but was very attentive. The other lady was very polite too. Atmosphere and place itself was very pretty and qwerty, but the food wasn't top notch. Good for an all you can eat tapas style, but needed more flavour to some dishes. Stuffed peppers were very... bland. Fried mozerlla nice but presentation would really boost things up. Sangria was amazing though! Asked for service charge to be taken off at the end.

Had an early dinner at this out of the way restaurant. Looks nothing from the street but is lovely. The family running the restaurant are charming and very helpful. We had the "all you can eat" tapas but to be honest could only manage nine dishes between us so you may prefer to go for the three tapas deal option. Everything was delicious but particularly the potato bread filled with cheese and garlic - very moreish. We had a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc between us. Would really recommend.

My favourite restaurant in the country. Excellent food, excellent service

Was really looking forward to some authentic tapas having lived in Spain was hoping it to be a real treat. Service poor at best and food truly awful. Should have opened my front door and chucked a hundred quid out, shut the door an stayed in…

Went at lunchtime so it was quiet but the food and service was excellent

A family get together and it was lovely! Cold & wet outside and warm and friendly inside!

Gloucester's hidden gem Been coming here for years, food is excellent, atmosphere fantastic and great value for money. Well worth a visit

Wow what a fantastic tapas restaurant I can highly 😋 recommend it and great value for money.

Great food combined with great service. The evening in Sebz was a great end to the day.

We were really looking forward to some lovely tapas but were sorely disappointed. The small plates were clearly quantity over quality orientated. The menus in the restaurant didn’t match that online and was reduced in size. Tried a selection of dishes and the majority of them all had this brown sauce all over, and was very samey. My partner had the calamari which she enjoyed along. When we popped to the loo you can see into the kitchen. The sight of this entirely showed trays of precooked meets etc and didnt look very clean. Very expensive for the quality and we won’t be returning. Definitely don’t visit if you are expecting a selection of quality tapas dishes … you won’t get it!

Always amazing, brilliant service from friendly staff

We went to Sebz Saturday evening for my friends birthday. We were a group of 6 and that evening they had a very large group in. We were sat towards the back of the restaurant and so close to our neighbouring table that formed an L behind us, that waiters and anyone else struggled to get through. I angled my chair so there would be a bit more space, but that meant I was uncomfortable all evening until the table left. It would have also meant that no disabled person would have easily been able to go through as there was simply no space. The service was very slow, my table ordered a second round of tapas and it took around 30 minutes, despite the fact that the big table had already been served and tables had left. The first round of tapas had a tapas missing and I had the risotto and red peppers meal, the risotto was still slightly crunchy so I left my meal. The ambience is great and the team are clearly very happy there which is always really nice to see ☺️ but things kept getting forgotten, we had also asked for more water and it never materialised. But drinks kept trying to get pushed, despite us saying no thank you. It is a lovely local spot.

The best little eating house in Gloucester. If not Gloucestershire.

No complaints! Lovely service from the waitress and the barman. Tasty food and big portions!

I can't say enough positive things about Sebz. My partner and I return frequently for beautiful Tapas. Tapas has a very special place in my heart and this little restaurant really knocks it out of the park. Delicious tasting food, fabulous staff and a great atmosphere. Will always recommend and show people Sebz. If you haven't gone... pay a visit!

Great food, lovely place, lovely people

Always looking out for a good Tapas restaurant. Went for the all you can eat menu so we could enjoy lots of different dishes. Sebz did not disappoint on any of them. Bursting with flavors and nice quantities. The Mediterranean chicken strips in sweet chilli sauce was our favorite. The restaurant is nicely turned out and the staff were attentive. Hope to go back again one when we visit Gloucester again.

My favourite restaurant in all of Gloucester and Cheltenham. We always love it here- friendly service, excellent food and so much to choose from. The tapas is excellent- our young kids love it too, as there's something to suit everyone.

Quite busy early Saturday evening so we were lucky to get a table. Shared 6 vegetarian tapas between two plus a Greek salad. All very nice. Preferred Dauphinoise potatoes to Battatas Bravas. Service was good and timely.

Loved sadly I live in Dundee and only visiting service food and wine great

Absolutely superb. Service was impeccable and food was more ish and plentiful

It’s not all you can eat tapas simply because you can’t order any - poor service as 1 person taking orders for the entire restaurant on a Saturday night. Managed to order only one tapas in over 1.5 hours (including 40 minutes for drinks) and were told they were closing soon when we tried to order a second. Upon complaining we were told to never come back. Don’t worry Seb, the feeling is mutual.

My boyfriend and I had the best meal of our lives here! We ate there 3-4 months ago and are still talking about it. The staff were absolutely wonderful and went above and beyond. If you only have one night in Gloucestershire like we did, this is the place to go! We would go to Gloucestershire again just to eat here next time we visit the Cotswolds.

I have been to Sebz many times, and have always had an excellent meal. I love trying all the different tapas, the house red is delicious, and the staff are really friendly. I have taken many friends and family there and everyone loves it.

Wow what can I say!! As a first timer to Sebz, the organising of a group of 13 for a bit meal, was made super easy by the friendly staff. Restaurant located in town, easy to find. Food was served swiftly, all very hot &...

Will have to say I was very surprised and impressed. To food was very good, and for someone who can eat, I thought it would not fill me up. But ended up taking some of it away in a box. Will be visiting again very...

Amazing. Brilliant value, amazing food.

Great place for tapas and the recommended starter was excellent 👌. Service fantastic too.

Food was excellent, the portions were worth the cost. Great for family dinning or friendly gathering.

Lovely food. Amazing value. We love it there

I have been coming here frequently for nearly ten years and the food and service is always 10/10. The authentic tapas are always quick and fresh tasting, best tapas around. Lots of friends and family have also never had a bad experience and are wowed...

Absolutely amazing food, atmosphere was lovely Staff were very good highly recommended Francesca Roche

Delicious food, great service and our waitress was so lovely and friendly

Poor service, if the Manager had paid as much attention to other customers as friends we may have got our drinks!!!

Not really the place it once was. Last time we were there (and it will be the last time) we had only been served one dish in over 90 minutes before we had to leave as we all had other places to be. Sebz still insisted on trying to charge us the full £23 each for the single dish they had managed to serve us. There could have been any number of reasons why the service was slow that night, but to try to charge us for the all you can eat menu speaks volumes to me about how this place is run.

Very accommodating, lovely people!

We love coming here mid-week and taking advantage of their mid-week pricing on the tapas; you get to chose 3 dishes per person for a fixed price (or you can have as much as you like for a higher fixed price) off the tapas menu....

The food here is sensational. The service was also sensational. The Greek salad took me back 45 years to my youth when I used eat the home made salads of my best mate’s Greek-Cypriot family! Brilliant!

Absolutely fantastic food. Always really good service.

家族でディナーに利用し、一人たしか22.9£のタパス食べ放題を頼みました。 子供（8歳未満）は半額です。 店員さんがみなさんとっても親切で感じがよかったのが印象的でした。 子供のジュースに氷を入れるか聞いてくれたり、取皿も子供の分は熱くないのを用意してくれたり… 各自3皿ずつ頼んで食べ終わったら次の3皿をお代わりで頼めるのですが、絶妙なタイミングで聞きに来てくれて、日本と違って「すいませーん！」と大声で呼べないので助かりました。 辛いメニューは、辛いけど大丈夫？と聞いてくれたり。 タパスも色々種類があって選ぶのも楽しかったです。 特にイカリング、マッシュルームの中にほうれん草を詰めたもの、海老のチリソースみたいなもの、パプリカにリゾットを詰めたものが気に入りました。 ミートボール、イカリング、パエリアなど子供も食べやすいメニューもありました。 ドリンクも、リキュールなどの種類が豊富でした。 サングリアを頼みましたが、美味しかったです！ アルコールはほぼ感じず、なぜかカルピスみたいな味がしました笑 ピッチャーで頼めばよかったかも！ 楽しい時間が過ごせました。

Tapas menu at Sebz is always delicious. Great atmosphere. Lovely, friendly service. A favourite of mine.

Menu had changed some of our favourites were nt on.Service was good drinks expensive .Good for a large group

Love Sebz, all you can eat tapas for a great price with good service and wonderful flavours

Phenomenal food & service 😋 Went for my daughter's birthday and they couldn't do enough, including dealing with a vegetarian and gluten intolerance.

Great little tapas place in the centre of Gloucester. Tasty dishes and lovely sangria. Couldn't have asked for better.

Lovely food, lovely ambience, excellent service.

Enjoyed the tapas and the ambiance of the restaurant, will definitely return 🙂

The atmosphere was amazing and the staff was really friendly, the food is the best I've had in Gloucester 💯

Excellent service lead to a memorable evening, with a comprehensive range of interesting tapas and olives, all tasted great, the full bodied Portuguese wine was most acceptable and hostess had no problem allowing a celebration cake onto the table providing knives and plates as well....

Lovely service and top quality food. Made to feel very welcome and looked after very well. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be returning in future.
