SquareMeal Review of Tas - Borough High Street

A tas is a traditional Turkish cooking pot, & the popular mini-chain that bears its name aims to recreate some of the warmth of home with its welcoming vibe & honest food. You may not be curled up chez vous, but the relaxed yet spruce surrounds & attentive service should make youfeel pretty comfortable. Hot & cold mezze coverthe familiar bases such as dolma (stuffed vine leaves), calamari & hoummos, as well as more upbeat ideas including tutsulu somon (smoked salmon with parsley, onion & tomato salad & pomegranate sauce). Big meaty shish, kofte & steaks arrive from the grill & the menu also extends to veggie mains, fish dishes & casseroles such as bademli tavuk (chicken with almonds, green peppers & tomatoes). Good-value set menus, too.

About

Conveniently located on Borough High Street, Tas is a Turkish-Mediterranean restaurant that blends a prime Central London location with a warm, inviting atmosphere and delicious, authentic food.

Just a few minutes’ walk from London Bridge and Borough Underground stations, and adjacent to Borough Market and Shakespeare’s Globe, Tas is a great spot for tourists looking for a fantastic dining experience in a central location. Inside, Tas combines exposed brick walls, timber furnishings and Georgian-style windows to create a cosy yet lively setting. Soft lighting, warm tones and traditional Turkish décor elements add to the relaxed and welcoming vibe. With attentive service, open-plan dining and occasional live guitar performances, the restaurant exudes an authentic Anatolian atmosphere.

The extensive menu offers a rich variety of Anatolian and broader Mediterranean dishes, beginning with mezze plates of vibrant vegetarian options such as hummus, baba ganoush, tzatziki, tabbouleh and vine-leaf dolma. Hot mezze include falafel, borek, grilled halloumi and spicy lamb-topped hummus; seafood lovers can opt for calamari fritti, prawns in cream sauce or salmon skewers. Grill and casserole options feature chargrilled kebabs, lamb meatballs, casseroles and wholesome soups like red-lentil mercimek çorbasi. A varied set-menu selection includes cold and hot mezze paired with a main course, while pescatarians and vegans will also find plenty of choice . The dessert menu concludes with authentic treats such as baklava, saffron-scented puddings, kunefe and Turkish coffee. The drinks list is thoughtfully curated with Turkish and Mediterranean wines, Turkish coffee and tea, plus signature aperitifs and digestifs, including raki and liqueur coffees.

Nestled in vibrant Southwark, Tas Borough caters well to families, office workers, tourists and evening diners. Praised for its authentic, reliably satisfying Turkish cuisine, it is a great spot to know about in the city.

I chose this place to go on a first date as my friend recommended it – it was a good choice! Fantastic mix of brick and wood architecture inside, plants and cushioned cane furniture outside. We started off in the bar had some nice, well made cocktails – just the usual range of cocktails, nothing fancy or unique. Music was good and at the right level for having a conversation (this might be different on the weekend however). Then we went to the restaurant which is through a doorway in the middle or can be accessed from the front. We chose the £10.75 Meze deal where they brought along lots and lots of small dishes of different flavours, very tasty and filling! Even without the deal I thought the prices were very reasonable. I can thoroughly recommend this place for food or drink as well as a good atmosphere.

Went to Tas after a night out at the IMAX – only about a ten minute walk away and a good alternative to some of the pricier options near the South Bank eg Skylon. Food is good, big portions and tasty and the place is almost always busy. We had free bread and tahini on the table as we arrived. Starters were big and tasty – fresh falafel and also feta cheese parcels (slightly lacking in taste) but still good portions. Our mains were big meaty mixed grills and another lamb dish, all again presented extremely well. I passed on pudding because we sat near the seventies style cabinet where they were sitting, wrapped in cling film, and this put me off slightly! Otherwise, the bill came to £44 for three starters and two mains plus drinks. I'd definitely recommend this as a great place post theatre – we were done in 45 mins and got home relatively quickly and nicely full! Not the best middle Eastern out there (Ozer in Oxford Circus and Al Waha in Queensway are both far better) but still one of the good ones worth a visit.
