Tas Pide

Great restaurant with helpful staff just around the corner from the Globe Theatre. They have a theatre menu and the restaurant was packed with people going to see plays Each dish was beautifully seasoned and presented. I suggest you make a reservation or come early.

It is our family's first time to visit London, and one of our objectives is to try all varieties of food this metropolitan can offer. While visit of Tate Modern and Shakespeare Globe, we had lunch here, really enjoyed the food and atmosphere. It seems most of the guests are middle East looking, so I assume the food authentic enough.

If I'm being completely honest I cannot for the life of me recall the exact names of all our dishes!! This is a prime example of why you just don't wait 3 days to post a review. What I can say is the Pide was INSANE! It's the one with beef and it's insanely flavorful!! My dish was basically lamb and potatoes and again that was full of flavor, the lamb was cooked well but was slightly over and chewy. No one else had any complaints and the squid appeared to have been done with skill! The person eating said it was tender and not chewy at all!! Food freshness and quality gains 4 stars!

The ambiance is beautiful and the restaurant was very clean. 5 stars for each of those! And service gains 5 stars as well! It is fairly pricey but we'll worth it. If you have a hotel that does not have a refrigerator or microwave for reheating I recommend you share. The portions are more than one person really needs. Thanks for a great time guys!! 100% would recommend!

Nice warm atmosphere tasty food not in hurry mode highly recommended.
We are visitors and couldn't decide where to have a dinner. It was a great choice. Clean place. Five stars.

First, I want to thank the owner who kindly let me come in right before the kitchen was closing. I had just flown in from NY, got to my hotel, and there wasn't much open at all in the area... I think this was my last shot. And THANKFULLY for my tummy and taste buds they were open. The flavors here were next level. OH MY GOD the grilled meats were expertly seasoned and cooked. The juiciest and super satisfying. I loved how they took care of me, and even when about to close, didn't skimp on the quality at all. They are so damn good. I cannot wait to come back again!

Authentic Turkish food with a beautiful dining room. Yummy hummus, delicious flatbreads, and fresh tea made this a great first meal in London.

Amazing food and huge helpings (I took my hummus with me & had it for 2 more days!).
Traveling alone, it's rare to be made to feel welcome and seen but I did in this lovely spot across from The Globe

This is an awesome location, just across from the Globe Theater and along the main walkway that follows the south side of the Thames. The hosts were quite welcoming and I was seated quickly and provided with some delicious Turkish bread, hummus and olives.

The service did not disappoint, food was presented quickly and the pide was quite good, perfectly cooked and seasoned, the wait staff were very professional and efficient. The bathrooms were also both very clean and well designed/uniquely styled. Definitely recommend a visit, especially if you like Turkish cuisine.

Superb ethnic, Turkish (Anatolian) food preparation with fresh ingredients and a wide menu choice. My wife had a well cooked and seared salmon filet. I had a flavorful lamb stew. Service knowledgeable and attentive! Old world, casual atmosphere. A couple doors away from the Globe Theater entrance.

Was going to a production of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night at the Globe. Was looking for somewhere to escape the rain and find a bite to eat before the show. Tas Pide is right across the street. They have bright outdoor seating if you are lucky to have nice weather. Inside is a little dark and cozy. Tables and chairs are lower to then usual and close together.
I went for a Turkish pide with feta, leek and tomato. It was kind of like a light, healthier pizza. It was nice, I agree with if other reviews that it lacks flavour.
Service was efficient. Loved the live music.

I guess Jamie W. and I landed on yet another chain in London. So much for being penny-pinching food snobs when we travel, but we ended up at Tas Pide because there was a dearth of lunchtime dining options around the Tate Modern, and Turkish food sounded pretty good since we were eating a lot of Italian during our London stopover. The decor did remind me a bit of Istanbul by way of HGTV with lots of rustic wood beams, cane-backed chairs and things you would have bargained to pilfer at the Grand Bazaar (photo: http://bit.ly/1imHxV7). At 2PM, the place was near-empty except for a group of young Eastern European women in heavy make-up and nearly-invisible shorts.

I'm not presuming what they did for a living, but they did seem to text a lot. Ahem. Anyway, things looked bright right away as the young waiter brought us a basket of warm Turkish bread, a ramekin of hummus and another ramekin of marinated olives (photo: http://bit.ly/Rvlbta). They were still offering their £ 9.45 three-course lunch menu, so we took advantage (photo: http://bit.ly/1oCNyBY). I started with the Humus Kavurma which featured diced lamb, pine kernels and paprika (photo: http://bit.ly/1imHnwP). It was a bit oily but good, just what we wanted at that time of day. I just wish they provided pita wedges so we could scoop up more of it. Since I had not eaten a Turkish pizza in such a long time, I tried the Kiymali Pide, which was apparently one of their house specials.

Quite doughy, it was shaped in the traditional eyelid shape with minced lamb (are you sensing a pattern here?), fresh tomatoes, onion, parsley, red pepper and a scrambled egg stuffed inside (photo: http://bit.ly/1imHoRw). While it sounded tasty, it was rather dry for all the effort, so i used the pickled red cabbage to lubricate it as much as I could. I guess I was expecting more of a kick given the plethora of ingredients. The meal ended with their only dessert option, the Kaymakli Kayisi, sauteed apricots in a house-made cream with chopped almonds and pistachios (photo: http://bit.ly/1jUHVOO). It was a bland little concoction hardly worth calling a course, but at least it gave us something sweet before our short walk back to our hotel. What we really needed was some Turkish delight.

FOOD - 3 stars...pretty good Turkish fare though some shortcomings were evident
AMBIANCE - 4 stars...the decor felt right even if the chairs were a bit uncomfortable
SERVICE - 3.5 stars...very quiet and attentive even with the lure of Eastern European, ummm...entrepreneurs
TOTAL - 3 stars...not quite a Turkish delight but if you need a hummus fix, here it is..
