What Is tashas?
tashas is the flagship all-day café of the international tashas Group, which operates across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and the UK. The formula is consistent: beautiful food, stunning environments, engagingly delivered — think design-led interiors, a Mediterranean-leaning all-day menu, and the kind of room you are happy to sit in for three hours. It is a default for breakfast meetings, weekend brunches and long lunches.
The Sister Brands
tashas Group is more than the cafés. Two of its most loved concepts are made-in-Dubai originals: Flamingo Room by tashas and Avli by tashas (a Greek restaurant), both destinations in their own right. A newer concept, Café Sofi, has been rolling out too. The group also entered a nine-figure joint venture with Arada to open a raft of high-end restaurants across the GCC, so expect the footprint to keep growing.
What to Expect
Go for the setting as much as the food — tashas rooms are consistently among the best-looking in their category, which is exactly why they photograph so well and book up at weekends. The menu spans breakfast through dinner with strong coffee and a Mediterranean bent. For weekend mornings, arrive early or reserve; the popular branches fill quickly.
