IN September 2023, one of South Africa’s most successful hospitality groups, Tashas Group, celebrated 18 years of beautiful food, stunning environments and engaging personal service. Founded in Johannesburg in 2005 by Natasha Sideris as a single store in Atholl, Sandton, tashas now has 15 locations in South Africa and six in the UAE – and will open its first store at Battersea Power Station in London in November 2023. While the tashas concept has been adapted to international markets each store retains the heart and soul of the tashas birthplace and foundation – South Africa.
“Our philosophy has always been about generosity and abundance,” explains Natasha, CEO and founder of the group. “Our passion for people and the belief that enjoyable eating is about more than just food has been at the heart of tashas since we opened our doors in Atholl 18 years ago.”
tashas has now become synonymous with a warm and laid-back approach, and for serving unpretentious, generous comfort food in stylish settings. Every tashas venue is unique in its own way, with its distinctive style inspired by a place or a time, reflected in both the menus and the design of each location.
