Located on Bloomsbury Street, just moments from the British Museum and Tottenham Court Road, TAS Bloomsbury offers a warm and welcoming escape into the rich flavours of Anatolian and Mediterranean cuisine.
Part of the well-established TAS restaurant group, which began in 1999 with its flagship site on The Cut, this branch continues the tradition of serving vibrant, authentic Turkish dishes in a relaxed, contemporary setting. Bloomsbury is known for its literary heritage, leafy squares, and cultural institutions, making TAS Bloomsbury a perfect pitstop for museum-goers, theatre lovers, and local residents alike. The restaurant’s interiors blend exposed brickwork with soft lighting and traditional Turkish décor, creating a cosy yet stylish atmosphere.
The menu is a celebration of traditional Turkish cooking, with a wide selection of hot and cold mezze, grilled meats, casseroles, and vegetarian options. 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 lovers will find options like salmon skewers and prawns in cream sauce, while vegetarians can enjoy dishes such as spinach with yoghurt and garlic or aubergine stew.
Set menus offer great value and variety, 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 Turkish coffee.
Whether you’re after a quick lunch, a romantic dinner, or a group celebration, TAS Bloomsbury delivers a flavourful experience that’s both comforting and refined - an inviting slice of Turkey in the heart of London.
