Tas

Salaam. I visited Tas recently and asked a waiter if the meat was halal. He said he was not aware that it was. I would therefore advise that this is not a halal establishment - may even suggest this applies to all Tas restaraunts unless you receive information telling you otherwise. The vegetarian options were good however.

great place. been twice - once for a birthday party when they had a live entertainer too...

IMPORTANT - I visited Tas about a year or so ago now and at the time I could not get verification from the waiters that they served halal food. This obviously left me in great doubt as I had heard that it was halal also. So when there is doubt anything in Islam (especially halal food), it is better to avoid it. I hope everyone takes note.

Great food at great prices! Loved the decor and the quick service! It does get very busy so its always best to phone in and book!

it was aight not the best halal res but i'll give it 5/10

Went into the quick take away section with just a few seats available. The chicken and lamb is quite nice although its all generally quite bland. Have been twice but in no rush to go back. Very bland for the more asian palatte.

Meals were average with average sized portions, but it felt like we were eating in a typical corporate dining chain. The decor was bland in the extreme and the atmospere was non existent, like eating in the office.

"Excellent, quality food and service that won't break the bank balance. Very busy at all times so make sure you book in advance."

(10/02/2026 + 27/01/2026) TAS Borough offers a Winter Menu from 12 noon-5pm, with a reasonably priced light-ish two course lunch and a nice choice of dishes for just under £20. For a fuller dining experience, there’s an a la carte menu with what the group’s website describes as “a vast selection of hand prepared hot and cold meze, small plates for sharing.” If you have a sense of adventure and/or like to be surprised, there’s also a wide range of set menus with exotic names to choose from. Many years ago, before I moved out of London, I used to eat regularly in TAS restaurants, on Saturday after the gym. I’d make my way either to the first of its branches in The Cut near Waterloo Station, or to this branch near London Bridge which opened soon after. I dropped in today (and a fortnight ago) as a consolation prize after visits to the dentist! On this occasion, I ordered houmous served with freshly baked pide*, a traditional Turkish flatbread, followed by the chicken casserole. Last time I opted for the red lentil soup (something of a favourite) and chicken shish, treating myself – because I like it so much – to a cheeky side of the rich and creamy houmous as well. In my defence, a website tells me that “houmous is generally very good for you” and that it’s a “healthy alternative to high-fat spreads … though portion control is advised”! (Bah!) Last week’s shish consisted of nicely grilled chicken cubes served with seasonal vegetables. In the old days, I think it came with couscous which I’d prefer. Maybe there’s an option to swap. For drinks, I enjoyed my glass of Turkish red house wine last time, and found today’s ginger beer to be a perfectly refreshing and spicy accompaniment. I forgot to order a glass of tap water as well, but the waiter kindly brought over a jug without being asked. He and his front of house colleague were both very warm and welcoming. Faultless service. The chicken casserole was a little under seasoned for my taste, but I spotted salt and pepper pots on a nearby console and adjusted flavouring at the table. It was a bit like a very hearty soup, a tasty and remarkably generous bowl of slow-cooked chicken, mushrooms, onion, tomato, leek and pepper. It was handy to have some flatbread left to mop up the remaining broth. I had, though, eaten so much of it that there was no room for an optional third course of apple pie with cinnamon and custard (extra £3). TAS restaurants are popular with small and larger groups, and there was quite a buzz of excitement as the venue filled. I like the crockery, and it’s nice to have linin napkins. Easy listening music was playing unobtrusively in the background. An acoustic guitar perched on a small stage in the middle of the restaurant is on standby for the live music which plays every evening after 7pm. Bathroom facilities downstairs are smart and well maintained. All in all, it’s a restaurant to recommend. Good food at a reasonable price. I helped myself to a sticky cube of Turkish delight as I left. I’m not sure my dentist would have approved. * Pronounced: “pee-day”. I see there’s a whole section of pide dishes with different savoury fillings on the main menu. Something to explore!
