Nice restaurant with a large menu with Turkish offerings. I decided to order a few appetizers and I enjoyed them all. I particularly liked the Bucver! Many vegetarian and vegan options. I ate alone but noticed several large parties seated; good spot for a large group as well. read more

We like Tas. The Sahan menu offers two courses for £11.95...bargain! Hummus or red lentil soup to start followed by chicken or lamb shish served with cous cous and tasty chilli sauce. House wine is tasty and you can pick up some Turkish delight as you leave. Especially good when you turn up on a Saturday at 4pm. Late lunch? Early dinner? Dunch? Linner? Nobody cares. Just good, simple food at a reasonable price. read more

Tas - Chicken shish - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

I went to the deli during lunch time so it was a bit chaotic. But my friend I still managed to score a table. We ordered at the counter and I took the easy way out and chose a chicken wrap. I say the easy way because there were so many great looking choices and I really had no time to stand and think. But the wrap was awesome: full of hummus, chicken, and grilled veggies. Next time I might try to beat the lunch crowd so I can take my time and try to pick out some of the other foods they had to offer. read more

Tas - Deli - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

When employees work as a team, you get a much more satisfying customer experience. From the host, to our waiter, to the food runners, everything was on point, and that's why you'll see a lot of Brish natives, sharing their dinner, or having a couple's night out, sharing a bottle of wine, in a comfortable and unrushed atmosphere. You wouldn't think that these small seats were comfortable, but they are perfect. Nice and clean facilities. Oh, and the food was great. When you want a break from pub food during your visit. This is a great option. The food wasn't overly spicy, but has ample flavor. Quick on the bread refills, and the offering of the powdered sugar coated, Turkish candy, while walking out the door, was the perfect finish to my meal, and all the dessert that I needed. Really nice people, and very good food. read more

We were 4 of us and it came to £120 for 3 courses and drinks which was quite expensive. I expected better starts and mains for that. The baklava was amazing, the food itself was not as appealing. I would go there again just for those baklavas. Soft and not sticky. We ordered a lamb shank, casseroles and a meat plate. We wanted to show ourselves that Turkish cuisine is not just grills of meat and kebabs. Unfortunately these guys seemed to do Tue meat grills the best. So summary : Kebabs and baklava. Soft heavenly baklava. read more

Tas has a few branches (restaurants & cafes) throughout London but the one I like the best is on Borough High Street in Southwark, right near the London Bridge. It might seem funny to go to a Turkish restaurant in London when I just came from Vienna and all its Turkish establishments, but my London friends wanted Mediterranean food tonight .... and we wanted to hit a couple of the cool pubs (some might say - hipster locales) in Southwark afterwards so I suggested Tas. Now I know Tas emphasizes the Anatolian cuisine of the central plateau of Turkey as opposed to the Mediterranean coastal foods but I didn't think anyone would mind and they didn't. Everybody liked it a lot. Tas has two levels so it usually has space for walk-in dining even though it can get quite crowded. We wound up downstairs. All the space is attractively decorated - (this is not a small Turkish take-away place!) The Meze here are excellent and you really can't go wrong. I especially love the Pacanga - kinda like pastry dough stuffed with meats and cheese. The soups are also excellent .... especially the Deniz Aşı .... perfect for a cool evening outside. For the main course, I had the Kavurma and it is indeed a tasty and filling casserole. And while you're there try out some Turkish Anatolian red wine. It's not Bordeaux but it wasn't bad and it went well with the food. There are other branches of Tas in London but if you're heading out for an evening in Southwark (theatre, pubs, whatever), this is a very good place for a meal. read more

I went there for a quick lunch and was attracted by their £6.95 offer for lunch which includes starter, main and a dessert (a typical filo pastry with syrup and pistachio). I had a red lentil soup which was fairly good, but lacked a twist, quite bland - it was the first time I had it, so maybe i'm just not a fan of red lentils! For the main I had squid - and honestly this was the best squid I had in years - the batter was thin and tender - I suspect egg-based, and squid was cooked just right - not too chewy. Complimentary houmus, olives and bread were all delicious. I haven't had a dessert, but had a coffee instead, which was a dissappointment - instant coffee which they decided to serve with a starter, but at least they agreed to swap dessert for a coffee! I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 starts, I give it a 3, since music was a bit out-of-place, some rock back singing, I assumed, in Turkish. A more subtle Turkish melody would be more appropriate, as the decor was tasteful with good lighting and pleasant atmosphere. All in all, a nice experience. I will come back next time I can afford a long lunch! read more

"I'm bringing you to my favorite restaurant," said the boy I was on a date with as he held my hand and led me around the streets near Borough Market "it's a surprise." ... and then we ended up at Tas, where one of my best friends had brought me merely two weeks before. It was a happy coincidence and proof, to me at least, that my date had good taste in food. Tas has a good selection, a friendly ambiance, and very tasty dishes. My first time there, I had the Elma Domassi, an interesting dish with rice, cream, and raisins baked into green apples. The concept and presentation were both amazing, but the execution was slightly off. However, on my second visit I had the Kofte, which was perfectly seasoned and served with yummy, fluffy couscous. I also got to stay for dessert, which is amazing. I highly recommend the homemde cinnamon ice cream and the Kayisi Tatlisi, apricots with cream, almond, and pistachio. The only thing I would advise against is the Renk Set Menu -- I hosted a birthday party for about 20 people here on the set menu, but it seemed less than satisfactory. The variety of dishes provided wasn't great, and the portions were pretty small. All in all, perhaps it's just happy memories of fun birthday parties and lovely dates, but I'd give Tas the definite thumbs up. read more

One of the many variations of the TAS restaurants in London with great atmosphere. The food is consistently good and the servers are quite attentive. Upon arrival you're given some fantastic bread and a yogurt base with olive oil dipping sauce. I personally could fill up on just the bread. Their house wine isn't too bad if you're looking to save a few quid. This is my third TAS location experience and it was quite good. read more

Tas - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

The cafe is decently priced for a decent turkish meze/wraps. Yummy for pre-tate modern going. I always go there and have not even entered the london bridge posh restaurant branch. I personally adore the olive bread... it sort of folds into your mouth and is not at all too salty. The olives just bring a zing to the warming bread which is so delish its more of a pastry. The fresh orange juice cup sizes are also very generous, worth having on a low vitamin day. I've always gone on weekends where it's all nice and relaxed, not full of office workers I guess read more

A haven away from, but within walking distance of, the hustle and bustle of Borough Market, London Bridge. I'm torn about my visit here, the soup was cold and I found it expensive for what we actually received. The service was also a little off in that they took a long time to bring our drinks and there was a bit of a crossover of orders, so we received glasses, and a jug of water and there seemed to be a general lack of communication between the waiters. However the wine was good, it was a lovely restaurant, a nice setting that felt rather snug and we were lucky enough to come on a night when they were playing live music, so eating to these tranquil tones did make the experience more enjoyable. Tas is a chain, and I've been to others within London, always with a good experience which seemed much better value for money. This was a much quieter branch, and whilst this is good for conversation, it lacked the warmth, I would come to expect. Although the lentil soup was cold, it was nice and we ordered a few smaller meze plates. Maybe the key is to go for the main courses, but from experience I find these quite big and wanted a little selection to match our smaller than usual appetites. Not unpleasant, but I won't be going out of my way to return in a hurry! read more

The lamb stew was delicious, not to chewy, you always feel that you've had a decent meal in Tas. read more

Tas - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

This is a sister restaurant of Havez in Canary Wharf. I came here with a friend for a drink and to share some meze dishes for our dinner. It is a reliable family of restaurants and you can be comfortable that the food is of a good standard. We chose a haphazard selection of dishes: prawn skewers in garlic sauce, mushrooms, falafel, lamb meatballs and squid. We had unlimited Turkish bread too, the type which is springy to touch and so easy to eat a lot of. It is perfect for mopping up the leftovers. My favourites were the lamb meatballs and the squid. The table was a bit too small for us. Once all of the food had arrived, we had to carefully make room for everything and I was mindful not to knock over my drink by accident. The restaurant is huge. When we walked in, I commented on the size of the floor area, and I hadn't even realised that there was a downstairs area too. There were a lot of empty tables at the time we went, so it lessened the atmosphere, but it also meant that we got our dishes quite quickly. read more

We were looking for somewhere to have dinner in the London Bridge/Borough area and we were quite surprised by how little choice there actually was, especially considering how close this area is to Borough market. This place was a real find though. Serving Anatolian Turkish food - hummous, tabule, kebabs etc. The food is very good and everything is served with delicious home-baked bread. They have pretty good value set menus. We opted for the Sahan menu which was £8.95 each for two courses with decent choice. They add on a 12.5% service charge onto the bill, so don't be surprised if it costs more than you expect. Very comfortable surroundings, excellent service. Definitely recommended. read more

I remember when this place first opened up - now that's going back a good 7 years at least. Back then they served good quality food at reasonable (for London!) prices and they still do it, all these years on. Very plain and simple in decor, so therefore quite stylish, there is plenty of room for diners (even 'tho spaces between tables are quite limited so if you are looking for a romantic dinner, DO specify this at the time of booking - they will probably pop you at the front of the restaurant). They also have another floor which is opened up for private parties. The toilets are really lovely, 'tho confusing if you've had too much wine for dinner (as if!). Be careful going downstairs, they have very nice wide stairs which can be disconcerting for those in heels and a little bit worse for wear. Super-clean toilets are always a good sign, but quite rare - which is why I mention it here! Back to the real stuff - the FOOD. Well Tas is actually named after a special Anatolian cooking pot, for a one-pot meal type-of-thing. I can't say that they excel with either the kebabs or guvecs (stews) because every single dish I've ever eaten or tasted here has always been exquisite. You also get to see them cook your meal, as the kitchen is open-plan - typically Turkish. Starters and desserts are also equally superb, I love the pistachio ice-cream. Amongst others! Some nights you also find yourself deafened by live music (guitar or piano, mostly) if you sit in the left-hand side of the restaurant. Drinks - well, your average wide range to choose from. Wine and food are definitely about average, between £8 - £12 for a main course, £16 - £20 for a bottle of wine. Staff - always pleasant, but they weren't an overtly happy bunch last time we went to dine there. Well worth a meal, if you haven't been there before and are looking for somewhere near London Bridge to grab a nice dinner after work. read more

We were refereed here when we could not get a table at the original location. The food is pretty much the same, excellent and delicious. The wine list is extensive and the prices rather reasonable. This location is a bit smaller and it is not as impressive as the other one, but definitely worth a visit. The added cafe is cute. Snacks and sweets (baklava) to take away or have their with coffee. Salads and humous that makes your heart glow. I can only recommend it! read more

The experience was not the best and the food is so so. Nice atmosphere but the service is not great. Perhaps it's a communication issue but here's our experience. We got seated right away (which is great), and then ordered our drinks. For main entree, my fiance ordered steak and indicated that we wanted salad instead of fries. I ordered 2 appetizers as the main entree as I wanted them to come out at the same time. Here are their mistakes: 1. They provided one of my entree as appetizers instead of coming out together 2. They didn't ask how to cook the steak and so it was overcooked and fries were provided instead of salad 3. They took away our hummus when we didn't finish our meal yet and left the bread there 4. They never came by to top off our water 5. They had a strange look when we ask to have separate checks. So overall experience is that this is just an OK restaurant. Probably wouldn't go back there. read more

I know nothing about the actual cuisine this place claims to be but the food was excellent. Beautifully done eggplant in various ways, great service and an overall good experience. I can't name the dishes but I would go back in a minute. read more

I have been to Tas a few time over the years and I've felt each time that it offered good quality Turkish food. It is not too far down Borough High Street and it is large enough to have availability at busy times (we once rocked up on a Friday night). If you have a large group, I would recommend the meze. For the mains I would recommend the chicken shish kebab which is served with rice and salad. A good option for dinner in the Borough area. read more

Pretty good Morrocan/turkish food - couscous etc. A perfectly good choice. Can be a bit noisy though.

This place is a chain, as is evidenced by the name of the restaurant on the dishes. It is a nice atmosphere--very light interior and a bit more upscale than your usual Turkish joint. The food is standard Turkish fare--you get your bread, olives, and hummus. They have a lunch offer--selection of an appetizer and a main for £8.95. I had a salad with feta and lamb shish with couscous. It was good, just nothing spectacular. A good place to jump into if you are looking to sit down around Borough and the other places are packed.... read more

This is a Turkish restaurant with a lot of options on the menu. The ambience is mediocre. I think the ground floor is nicer than the basement where we were sitting. The staff in general was friendly. The food was ok but not great. Most of the starters we had were good (not great) though. The hummus was really really good. I really didn't enjoy my main dish... kağit kebap which was disgusting. This is the main reason for I've given this place a poor rating. The dessert we ordered was baklava at that was yummy. read more

Really good food. You can get set menu which gives you more options. The decor is white table clothes.

Enjoyed my mixed grill so much on my first visit I returned a couple of weeks later and found the meat less exciting and the service a tad surly. I'll probably go back once more - best of three, right? read more

Always one of my favorites when I visit London. Had the kofte and the mussaka, enjoyed immensely

I'd heard good things about Tas, but to be honest I was very disappointed with my meal. The restaurant itself was very noisy - I suppose to be expected on a Saturday night but I think the acoustics are bad. I should also add I was there with a large party so I understand that makes things harder, but the staff were stressed out and not particularly friendly. The bread and dips we had on the table before we started out meal were lovely, but my starter and main were bland and my tuna steak had a metallic taste. It also came with the wrong side dish. For somewhere thats not that cheap, I wouldn't go again which is a shame as the menu sounded good. read more

Coming from a Midwestern city of 3.5 million with no notable Turkish restaurants, i was overjoyed to find TAS in London. After trying an assortment of mediocre Indian. pretentious Japanese, and disappointing Thai restaurants, TAS worked for us before a show at Old Vic. It starts with really fresh bread, olives, and hummus. We bought a 16 pound fixed meal that included wine and were not disppointed at all. In fact, it ended up being the perfect meal for the occasion -- some calmari, some sausage and salad, lamb grilled. The place was packed at 1:00 and I suspect that it was not due to the pricing. It was due to great service and an excellent selection of menu options. I am no expert on Turkish cuisine, but i know what i like and TAS was very easy for me to like. I would love to see them spread to Minnesota. read more

This was my third visit to Taz. The first time was great, the second was awful. This time I am really not impressed with this place. Although I had a good night in the end I think that was down to the people I was with rather than the restaurant. When bringing our drinks to the table they spilt a glass of Red Wine down my friends coat. Then they forgot to bring the replacement drinks and had to be reminded twice. We were offered no discount and no sorry. The food is OK, I am not convinced its worth the price in fact I am sure its not worth the price! My main was not brought out hot and all the mains were not brought out together. The staff did all get together to sing my friend Happy Birthday but this is no conciliation for the rest of the night. I will not be going back if I can help it. read more

Very well cooked food and ingredients that taste mediterranean, espacially the olive oil and vegetables! You should absolutely try their Baklava, one of the best ever! The service is good and the place is clean! read more

Fantastic turkish cuisine which is freshly prepared and delicious. We came here without high expectations and came away with a happy, satisfied feeling that we'd found a real gem. Their special menus (we had the 'Renk' version - £10.45 pp) are suprisingly good value - well sized portions and a mouth-watering array of dishes. If you get a table on the top floor you can even enjoy live music. Definitely recommended. read more

Tas - Turkish Near Me - London, XGL

Short version: good food (except the cold mezze), bad service. Tas Pide (near the Tate Modern) was better in all respects. Long version: I made a reservation for 4, but we arrived 20 minutes late. They gave away our table, but they didn't call or apologize. (I looked--they had my mobile number, and I had no missed calls.) The hot appetizers, hummus, bread, and yogurt were good. The other cold mezze were bland. The kebabs were excellent, and the house wine was pretty good. Our server essentially abandoned us after the entrees came out. A different server took our dessert order. And they forgot my apple tea. We asked twice for the check, waited 20 minutes, and ended up going to the front of the restaurant to pay. The manager wanted to know who we asked for the bill. We had no idea: it was one of 2-3 tall gentlemen with short brown hair and wearing a brown T-shirt with no name tag! We had also asked him for the bill at one point, which he denied: he doesn't serve tables (so we must have watched his twin walking around carrying trays of apple tea). He implied that we were lying or crazy, then made an excuse ("it's a long day, these things happen") instead of an apology. Then he produced the bill. The first check he gave us was for the wrong table. The second check overcharged us for tea & dessert (two were included with the set menu). To make up for this, and the fact that my tea never even arrived, he comped the one apple tea that actually belonged on the bill. We asked twice if the service was optional; he said "it's added automatically". One of the two lawyers in our party opened the menu to confirm that it was indeed optional, so we didn't pay for the "service". The manager asked us why we didn't appreciated that he removed the charge for all the apple tea. read more

This chain of restaurants is mostly a reliable choice. The Borough High Street location is no exception. Good Turkish food though I have to say that this chain has the distinction of having the worst house wine I've ever tasted, all of us in our group who had this felt the same....it is memorably bad! Apart from that I would recommend this venue. read more

Not impressed. The meat was a little overcooked and the overall feel was of a way too salty food for my taste. Maybe that's the Turkish way of cooking but it's not for me. read more

I went to Tas last weekend and ate the chicken kofte. The next morning I suffered from food poisoning, vomiting violently. I spoke to the other two members of the party and another one was also sick (the other did not eat meat). I would NEVER go back to this restaurant and would dissuade anyone else from doing so. read more

I like this place.Its clean and stylish popular and in my opinion outstanding value.The special menu( £8-95 ) in particular. I usually have the humous and then lamb shish which is a generous portion of chargrilled lamb fillet in about 4-5 pieces usually very tender.Complimentary bread and dip with olives is given to each diner. I also recommend the halibut again a generous piece of fish fried in a light batter and served with a vegetable - peppers stew about £11-50 overall quite a high standard and always a good bustling atmosphere. As someone else has mentioned, the staff do not all understand English, but friendly management. read more

really nice and relaxed environment. very pleasantly surprised. and the waiting staff were very customer friendly.
