Tashas is a South African cafe brand known for breakfast plates, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, coffee and branch-specific signature dishes. This guide explains current price examples and how to compare them before visiting a branch.
Tashas prices are branch-specific. Current public examples for Mall of Africa include Mini Breakfast around R138, Classic Breakfast around R184, Chicken Wrap around R162, Plain Beef Burger around R184, Panko Hake around R232, Rump Steak around R286 and Cappuccino Normale around R46.
Quick price answer
Tashas sits above basic fast-food pricing because it is a cafe restaurant with plated breakfasts, salads, burgers, mains and coffee. A light coffee visit can stay modest, but a full brunch or lunch with drinks can move much higher. Branch menus can differ, so one Tashas price list should not be treated as a national fixed menu.
For the most realistic budget, choose the exact branch first. Mall of Africa, Melrose Arch, Nelson Mandela Square and other locations may show different items or inspired menus. Delivery platforms may also show a separate price from dine-in.

Why Tashas prices vary by branch
Tashas is not a single flat national menu in the way some quick-service chains are. A branch can carry classic items and also its own inspired dishes. That is why one price article should always name the branch or say that the figures are examples. Without that scope, a reader may expect the wrong dish at the wrong location.
This matters most for premium breakfasts, seafood, steak, salads and signature plates. A cappuccino or simple breakfast may be easier to compare, but larger dishes depend on the branch menu and current availability. Always check the live menu when planning a specific visit.
Breakfast and brunch budget
Breakfast is one of the main reasons people search for Tashas prices. A smaller breakfast helps control the bill, while a classic breakfast or salmon-style dish can cost much more. Add coffee, juice or a smoothie and the final brunch amount changes quickly.
For a practical brunch, choose either a richer plate or a premium drink, not every upgrade at once. If two people are eating, one can choose a breakfast plate and the other a lighter toast, salad or sandwich. That gives variety without making the table too expensive.
Lunch choices
For lunch, wraps, toasted sandwiches, salads, burgers and mains all compete with each other. The cheapest item is not always the best value if it leaves the diner hungry. A burger or hake plate can be a fuller meal, while a salad may suit someone who wants something lighter.
Look closely at sides. A burger with fries included is easier to compare than a dish that needs an extra side. A salad with added protein can become close to a main-course price. The right choice depends on appetite, not only on the category name.
Coffee, cake and light orders
Tashas also works as a coffee stop. A cappuccino and cake can cost much less than a full meal, but it still needs a realistic budget. Cake slices, pastries and specialty drinks can add up when more than one person orders.
For a quick meeting, coffee or tea with one shared sweet item is often enough. For a longer catch-up, a proper meal may be better value than several rounds of drinks and snacks. The bill should match the time spent at the table.
Delivery versus dine-in
Delivery app prices can be higher than dine-in and may include a narrower menu. A dish that travels well, such as a wrap or burger, may be a better delivery choice than a delicate plated item. Coffee and crispy foods can lose quality during travel, so collection or dine-in may be better when freshness matters.
Before paying on an app, check delivery fee, service fee and small-order fee. A discounted item can still become expensive once fees are added. For two or more people, compare collection with delivery using the same basket.
Ordering for work meetings
Tashas is often used for casual business breakfasts or lunches. For a work meeting, choose items that are easy to eat and do not need too much attention. Toasted sandwiches, wraps, salads and simple breakfasts are usually easier than messy dishes or meals that need several side plates.
If the meeting has a budget, tell the group in a natural way before ordering. Drinks can be included or left separate. Ask whether the bill can be split, and keep the receipt if it will be claimed as an expense.
Ordering for families
For a family visit, check portion sizes before ordering a full dish for every child. Some children may share a simple plate or choose a smaller item. Avoid assuming that a premium breakfast or burger is needed for everyone at the table.
Parents should also ask about allergens and preparation. Eggs, dairy, wheat, nuts and sesame can appear in breakfast dishes, bread, sauces and desserts. If a child has a serious allergy, speak to staff before ordering instead of relying on a price article.
Price comparison tips
A useful budget starts with the main dish, then adds the side, drink and tip or service charge. Many diners compare only the headline meal price and forget that the final card amount can be much higher. When a menu offers premium proteins, sauces or add-ons, choose those deliberately instead of accepting every suggested extra.
For one person, a single main and water is the cleanest comparison. For two people, sharing one starter and ordering two mains usually gives better value than ordering several small extras. For a group, decide whether everyone wants individual plates or whether sharing items will avoid waste. Shared orders work best when the table agrees on spice level and dietary needs before the order is placed.
Treat the branch as the first part of the price. A restaurant name alone is not enough, because South African venues often run separate dine-in, collection and delivery menus. A dish that looks simple on one platform can include different sides, a different portion or a different service fee somewhere else. The safest way to use this guide is to pick the exact branch, then compare the same item on the same day.
Delivery apps can also lift the visible price before they add delivery, service and small-order fees. That does not always mean the restaurant counter price has changed. It means the channel has its own cost. If you are ordering for a family or group, build the whole basket before deciding. A small difference on one dish becomes a larger difference when five or six items are added.
Menu and SEO preservation
Dietary and allergy notes
For allergens, ask the restaurant directly. A price article can list menu categories, but it cannot confirm the kitchen process on the day you order. Wheat, dairy, egg, nuts, seafood, soy and sesame can appear in bread, sauces, batters, dressings and desserts. Shared grills and fryers may also matter for strict dietary needs.
Vegetarian and vegan choices should be confirmed by ingredient, not only by title. Cheese, butter, cream, stock, egg wash and honey can appear in dishes that sound plant-based. Halaal, kosher and other preparation requirements also need branch confirmation because ownership, suppliers and kitchen handling can change.
How to read the price table properly
Read the table from left to right and keep the item name attached to its own price. Many menu mistakes happen when a reader scans quickly and joins one row with the next row. If a table has sizes, flavours or add-ons, the base price should not be treated as the final price until those choices are complete.
When a menu has several similar items, compare what is actually included. A cheaper dish may be smaller, may exclude a side or may use a simpler protein. A higher price can sometimes be better value if it includes chips, salad, sauce or a larger portion. The table gives the starting point; the notes help explain the real order.
If a price appears old, unclear or different from the checkout, the live branch price should win. Restaurants change menus for supply costs, rent, delivery commissions and seasonal stock. A useful price article should make that clear instead of pretending every figure will stay the same forever.
What changed in this update
The goal is not to make the page complicated. The goal is to give enough plain English detail that a person can make a better order. That means clear sections, direct advice, visible menu information and no unnecessary filler around the table.
Common ordering mistakes
The first mistake is comparing one item price with another item that includes more food. A burger with a side and a burger without a side are not the same budget. The second mistake is ignoring drinks. Soft drinks, coffee, shakes or bottled water can add a noticeable amount when several people are eating.
The third mistake is ordering too many extras because they look small. Sauces, sides, add-ons and desserts can turn an average meal into a premium bill. Choose extras that improve the meal. Skip extras that only repeat what is already on the plate.
The fourth mistake is forgetting the channel. Dine-in, collection and delivery can show different totals. Delivery can be convenient, but it may include higher menu prices plus extra fees. Collection can save money, but only when travel time and fuel make sense.
How to plan a fair group order
For a group, decide whether the bill will be split evenly or paid by item before ordering. This is especially useful when some people order premium dishes and others choose simple meals. A clear agreement keeps the meal relaxed and avoids confusion when the bill arrives.
Shared starters and sides should be ordered only when most of the table wants them. If two people want a shared item and the rest do not, it should not quietly become a group cost. The same applies to desserts, bottled water and table drinks.
For family orders, match the quantity to appetite. It is easy to over-order when reading a full menu. Start with the mains, then add one or two sides if needed. More food can usually be ordered later, while wasted food cannot be turned back into money.
Freshness and final confirmation
Use the review date as a freshness signal. A newer review is more useful than an old screenshot, but even a current review can become outdated if the restaurant changes suppliers, launches a new special or updates delivery pricing. That is why final confirmation still matters.
The most reliable confirmation is the restaurant's current menu, the live delivery basket or a direct quote from the branch. If the article and the checkout disagree, the checkout is the number that will be charged. Screenshots, cached pages and older blog posts are helpful for planning, not for arguing at the till.
For special occasions, confirm more than the food price. Ask about deposits, service charges, cake policy, seating time, parking, wheelchair access and group rules if those details matter. A good meal plan includes the whole visit, not only the menu line.
Simple order examples
A low-spend order should stay focused. Pick one main item, use the included side if there is one, and choose tap water or a simple drink where available. This kind of order is useful for lunch breaks, solo meals and quick visits where the goal is to eat well without turning the meal into a long occasion.
A balanced order adds one useful extra. That could be a side for a main that needs it, one starter shared by two people or one dessert shared after the meal. This approach gives the visit a little more variety while keeping the final amount easy to understand.
A premium order is different. It may include seafood, steak, a loaded main, a premium drink, dessert or several shared plates. There is nothing wrong with that choice, but it should be made deliberately. Once the order becomes premium, compare the full bill rather than judging each item alone.
For takeaway, choose food that travels well. Crispy items, delicate salads, plated sauces and hot drinks can lose quality during delivery. If freshness matters more than convenience, collection or dine-in may be better. If convenience matters most, accept that the best delivery item may not be the same as the best dine-in item.
Final checklist before ordering
Before ordering, check five things: the branch, the date, the item size, the included sides and the final basket total. These five checks catch most price surprises. They also help readers compare restaurants fairly because the same type of meal is being compared against the same type of meal.
If the order is for a group, save the confirmed menu or checkout screen until the meal is collected or delivered. This makes it easier to solve a missing item, wrong side or unexpected substitution. For dine-in, read the bill before paying and ask questions while staff can still check the order.
When a page is updated again, the same rule should apply: keep the useful menu rows, correct the prices that can be verified and explain any branch limits in plain language. That gives search visitors a better page and gives regular readers a price guide they can actually use.
The strongest version of a menu article is practical, current and calm. It should help someone decide what to order, what to confirm and how much money to keep aside before they reach the counter, table or checkout screen.
