Located on The Cut in Waterloo, just steps from the Young Vic and Old Vic theatres, TAS Restaurant is the flagship venue of the TAS group, which has been serving up vibrant Anatolian and Mediterranean cuisine since 1999.
With its warm interiors, exposed brickwork, and welcoming atmosphere, TAS The Cut is a favourite among theatre-goers, local residents, and London foodies alike. Waterloo is one of London’s most dynamic districts, known for its theatres, galleries, and buzzing nightlife. TAS The Cut fits right in, offering a relaxed yet refined dining experience that’s perfect for pre-show dinners, casual lunches, or celebratory evenings.
The menu is a celebration of traditional Turkish flavours, with a wide selection of hot and cold mezze, grilled meats, casseroles, and vegetarian dishes. Diners can start with classics like hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, and vine-leaf dolma, or opt for more adventurous bites such as spicy lamb-topped hummus and borek pastries. Mains include chargrilled lamb shish, kofte, and chicken skewers, as well as hearty casseroles like bademli tavuk - chicken with almonds, green peppers and tomatoes. Seafood options include salmon skewers and prawns in cream sauce, while vegetarians can enjoy dishes such as aubergine stew and spinach with yoghurt and garlic. Set menus offer excellent value, pairing mezze with mains and drinks, and there’s a dedicated vegan menu too. Desserts include Turkish delights like baklava and kunefe, alongside saffron-scented puddings and strong Turkish coffee. The drinks list features Turkish wines, raki, and a selection of cocktails and digestifs.
Whether you’re discovering Anatolian cuisine for the first time or returning for your favourite mezze spread, TAS The Cut delivers bold flavours, generous hospitality, and a true taste of Turkey in the heart of London.
