Tas

I just ate at TAS, and it was the best meal, from the bread and olives and dip to the Parsley salad, and the grilled lamb with chili sauce and couscous, I can't say enough how delicious it was!!

This restaurant is not authentic turkish at all. They use ginger and coriander in their stews and call them kebabs. We ordered kagit kebabi and tas kebabi which are served as exactly the same food but different so called presentation. My wifes one served in deep bowl kind of white plate not in tas that was surprising because this restaurant called tas which means clay bowl in turkish. Kagit means paper in turkish. Dish suppose to be wrapped and cooked in grease proof paper in order to keep ingredients moist and infused with herbs and spice ( chilli, oregano,garlic ) stew like mixture was like ready made, but not by good chef very watery and lacking seasoning just warmed up and served. Waited 20 mins! My one instead of paper served in aluminium foil exactly with the same filling we were laughing. what kind of genius put same food in one menu with different name? I ate it because i was hungry my wife left whole thing. When waiter clean the table didn't ask why she didn't eat but I asked why they serving same dish with different name ? he said one cooked in oven, other one is stemmed . Bull....! Over £45 paid including service . I don't recommend to anyone.

Great food, friendly service and briliant value

We visited Tas on Borough High Street last Friday on recommendation from our London Walks guide. The food was superb and the service excellent! One of the best meals we've had for a long time! Had Börek and Pacanga as a starter, Soganli Dana Kavurma and Kagit Kebap as a main and Chocolate Cake and Kaymakli Kestane as dessert. Huge menu, nice wines and a lovely atmosphere. There even was a guitar player playing in the background which was very pleasant - not too loud, you could still have a normal conversation. We will surely be back to try more off the menu and will definately recommend Tas to our friends.

The food was ok, very samey from dish to dish. Lots of tomatoes, onion and parsley in the starters and tomato sauce on the mains. We quite enjoyed the food, we were hungry but we wouldn't ever go back to this restaurant because of the miserable, unfriendly staff. We had to ask for drinks whilst we perused the menu, there was no assistance with the menu and communication with the staff was minimul.

Tourists beware. My brother in law visited London in January and recommended this place for my visit. I ate there last night and thought the food was delicious, staff was great. However, service had automatically been added to the bill, and then the manager came to the table to swipe our credit card and added it again--without saying a word. Assuming, perhaps, from our American accents that we wouldn't notice? When we brought it up he apologized way too fast and without even looking at the bill to verify that he'd made a mistake. Shady.

We visited Tas restaurant near Waterloo yesterday. The staff were not very friendly or attentive. We were very disappointed with the food. The 2 main courses : Kul Basti and Papaz Yahnisi were very bland and tasteless. The Papaz Yahnisi was swimming in a dish of oil which was supposedly being passed off as gravy. It looked very unappetising and unhealthy. I am disgusted to see this restaurant being recommended in Time Out London and Insight City Guide. I would never eat there again nor would I recommend it to anyone. It was not worth the price and they didn't deserve the service charge they deducted.
