beautiful restaurant located in a nice sunny spot in brooklyn mall, tasha's never disappoints as a go-to place to enjoy a quick lunch, a shopping pitstop or a healthy, wholesome breakfast.
we stepped into tasha's for a quick lunch before heading to the airport for our flight back home to the mother city. i was in awe of the stunning moroccan style that the restaurant had adapted - sweeping robes hanging from the celling, wind breezing through them, a string of old steel pots and pans and kettles hanging at one end. shady and welcoming, it seemed like the perfect spot to enjoy our lunch on this hot summers day.
we wasted no time in ordering the smoked salmon salad and the chicken schnitzel sandwich. i like how they have an option to choose between 40g and 80g of salmon. i wanted a light lunch, so i chose the 40g and it was just the right amount. the salad was delicious, but i prefer to have my salads mixed for me, rather than each element being placed individually on the plate. personally, it just doesn't work for me. my better half's sandwich was delicious - a decent portion and a wide variety of bread options to choose from. he enjoyed it (even though he was more after the schnitzel than the bread). it was topped with a sort of salsa, which, although a bit unexpected and unconventional, worked perfectly with the meal. however, afterwards my boyfriend realized that they perhaps put too much onion in it, which overpowered it a bit and left you feeling like you were eating an onion the whole day.
service was quick, although a bit absent. perhaps this was to meet the needs of busy working people who don't want to be disturbed and just want a quick meal. i feel their food is a bit overpriced for what you get, but this is a problem with tasha's in general, and not specific to this branch.
overall, a nice spot to do some people watching and enjoy a healthy meal. not too bad, i'd return again and maybe order something else, like a juicy-looking sandwich.
