South African café favorite tashas is expanding in the UAE with new cafés in Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, continuing its quest to bring vibrant dining experiences to the region. This exciting growth marks another significant chapter for the brand, which has established a loyal following for its inviting atmosphere and delicious menu offerings. The recent openings bring the total number of tashas locations in the UAE to eight, further solidifying its presence in community-focused neighborhoods across the country.
Exciting Openings in Al Ain and Sharjah
This week, tashas inaugurated two new branches in Al Ain and Sharjah, officially launching on May 19 and May 20, respectively. The opening of the Al Ain café was particularly festive, as founder and CEO Natasha Sideris joined in the celebrations with her team. Staff members serenaded guests by performing the South African classic “Shosholoza,” creating an atmosphere filled with joy and camaraderie. Natasha’s radiant smile reflected the energetic spirit of the occasion, encapsulating the unique charm that tashas brings to its patrons.
A Unique Touch in Design
The new Al Ain café is designed to reflect the city’s tranquil surroundings, boasting soft neutral tones and handmade details that enhance the overall ambiance. A bespoke ceiling installation, crafted specifically for this location, adds a touch of artistic flair, making it a perfect spot for relaxation and socializing. Meanwhile, the Sharjah branch, located in the Aljada development, features interiors that pay homage to the original Atholl café in Johannesburg, reinforcing the brand’s heritage while catering to the tastes of its UAE clientele.
A Culinary Delight
Both cafés offer the beloved tashas Classic Menu, featuring a variety of signature dishes that have become fan favorites. Diners can indulge in the St Francis breakfast tortilla, which combines scrambled eggs, chili, and avocado, or enjoy the acclaimed Brioche French Toast.
