Tas

Summary

“They’ve become a bit boring and rote over the years”, but these popular, “cheap ’n’ cheerful” Turkish cafés are very affordably priced, and even those who see them as “workaday”, can feel they still “have a place as a reasonable-enough option” – especially in a big group, or with the kids – and they also offer “lots of choice for vegetarians”. Venues are “well-located for combining with cultural visits” – especially on the South Bank, where Tas originated over 20 years ago on The Cut, opposite the Young Vic Theatre. There’s also a popular branch, Tas Pide (see also), next door to Shakespeare’s Globe.
