Bright, stylish cafe-restaurant with standout prawn pasta and polished service, but prices run high for portions and experiences vary at peak times.
Tashas Battersea delivers solid neighborhood dining with exceptional setting appeal within the landmark Battersea Power Station complex and warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent food execution—variable seasoning, occasional overcooked items, and hit-or-miss dishes at peak times—prevents a higher grade, while premium pricing relative to portions limits value perception. The signature prawn pasta and friendly staff create loyal repeat visits, but operational strain during busy periods and mixed allergy handling suggest this works best for off-peak visits or pasta-focused occasions.
Set inside Battersea Power Station, tashas feels bright and stylish from the first step in, with friendly hosts, a text-back waitlist, and servers who often get name-checked. Diners praise the room and quick seating off-peak, while a few note slowdowns and mix-ups during rush. One guest summed it up: "Service felt warm and on top of things, even when the room was buzzing." Prices, however, are a recurring theme given the premium location and portions. The kitchen leans eclectic cafe with South African touches rather than theatrics, a contemporary approach that is elevated but familiar. The prawn pasta is the headline act—rich and well-balanced for many, though some find it heavy or overpriced. Desserts like pumpkin fritters draw fans, while items like burgers or salmon can be hit-and-miss at peak times. It suits brunchers, pasta chasers, and anyone who enjoys a polished all-day spot more than those seeking avant-garde plates. Families will find plenty a kid could eat—eggs on toast, waffles, grilled cheese-style sandwiches—though it is not a budget pick. No kids menu is evident in the snapshot, and while staff often help with substitutions, allergy handling has mixed reviews. If bringing little ones, expect walk-in waits at peak and plan around the pricier comfort dishes.
