Tas Pide, London

Advantages: Delicious, affordable, friendly and comfortable
Disadvantages: Is eating too much a disadvantage?

...walk from London Bridge station, Tas Pide is a real treat to find. I first went there after visiting their sister restaurant, only a short walk away on Borough High Street. While at the other restaurant I picked up a card thinking that it was for them, but only realised when I next came to book that I had actually picked up the wrong one - undeterred I phoned and booked a table at this one, and discovered to my delight that it was just as good, ...
...THE MENU Tas Pide had a wide collection of turkish food on it's menu, from homous, felafel and traditional salads (and so many others things that I just couldn't name them all) as starters, to huge platters of fish, meats and vegetarian options for the main course.

...these varieties would suit into English people's taste. Our starter arrived quickly, however, we had to wait for 1.5 hour for our main course. When I complained, the manager started saying that it must be my taste in food. When I said that I knew what a pide tasted and looked like, she said abruptly if you do not want another one, there is nothing I could do. She was a bit a bully. I would go to any backstreet pide places in Hackney to get a real ... Read review
