Mother's Day at 6.30pm so by the time we got to the sweet menu they had run out of baklava! But we survived just. Great friendly service even when staff must have been on their feet for sometime. Tasty food and generous portions! Well worth a visit.

Our first visit to the Durum and we enjoyed both the food and the hospitality. A lovely authentic Turkish restaurant with bags of character. They were busy even early on in the night but the service was fast and nothing too much trouble. There were a couple of families with young children and it was lovely seeing them tuck into their food in the relaxed atmosphere. A highly recommended restaurant. Thank you for a lovely meal Andrea and John from Staffordshire x

I'm just about to have my dinner with friends. I have to say staff is fantastic. We've been looked after properly, food is amazing. I'm extremely pleased with the service. They are fast, precise everything is fresh and delicious. Great team. Was the best place to choose for tonight. Thank you so much, we are definitely coming back.

First visit yesterday and definitely won't be the last. Been meaning to try here forever as I live in the area. Lots to choose from on the menu. I had grilled Sea Bream and my friend had chicken shish. Clean plates all round! Good service. Nice relaxed atmosphere and the best Baklava outside of Gaziantep! Quells my Turkish food cravings when I'm not actually in Turkey so can't wait to return to this fab restaurant.

Great welcome and service, busy vibe, and you can eat grilled bulls testicles - so tasty. Delicious grilled onion and olives accompany the warm flatbread.

The most amazing food,I ordered one main dish then I ordered some sidedishes,The waitress looked at me funny,then when the food came out I realised why she looked at me funny,they had to clear the second table for the amount of food I had ordered, to her credit , see told me I have not been charged for all ,because there was no way on this earth I could consume this copious amounts of food, first class thoroughly recommend it

The team at Durum is amazing. They made us feel very welcomed and looked after us like we were the only people there even though the restaurant was very busy. Food was also great.

Staff was ok
I had set menu for one wasnt wow. Menu was misleading as it felt that as a starter you get a mix selection but you actually have to chose 1 thing. I went for pastry filled with feta cheese portion was generous and they did taste nice.

Main I went for chicken grilled skewers which were ok but a bit blend. My partner went for a really nice dish minced lamb kebab in a buttery tomato sauce with pieces of bread that was yumyyy.

They gave us complimentary baklava with turkish delights which was nice. And coffee was horrible but expected it to be so all good.

Verdict would go back for lamb minced in tomato sauce. Wasn't very expensive we paid about 15gbp per person. Service was ok

The food was phenomenal! We’ve ordered a selection of cold and hot starters including the spinach pastry and hummus. The flatbread that came with it was delicious. We’ve also had the lamb kofta and the juicy lamb chunks on skewers. Everything was so tasty and of course, the customer service is excellent. I would definitely come back when I am back in Finchley.

Great restaurant! Food and service is incredible. If visiting on Fridays and/or Saturdays then pls book. You won't be disappointed. Just visited again recently in September 2023 and still 5*. Personally I love the fact that each dish is served with a fresh dressed mixed salad. Food is cooked well and most importantly, comes to you - HOT. You aren't left waiting for the sides and the waiting staff are very attentive.

One of the best Turkish restaurants i have ever had the pleasure to eat in (and I've eaten in some of the best in London). Great atmosphere. Great staff. Great food. Great value(certainly not cheap but then definitely not overpriced either). The Full platter is a beast (£40), meant for 2 to 3 people my friend and i tried our best but could not finish. Luckily the friendly waiters wrapped it all up to take away with us. We will return.

Durum is the best Kebab restaurant in North London! Have been a client for over 20 years. EDIT: Durum is actually amongst the best in London. Service, quality, proper charcoal pit, fresh, clean, decent price, friendly. The only issue is that it gets too busy and there's no place to seat sometimes!

Best kebab in North London. I haven’t yet had better so this takes first place. Service, hospitality, quality of food, speed of service, all number 1. Delicious. I just always come here and what’s better than a late night kebab? They close at 12. Literally perfect. Love you guys

I love this restaurant! Durum Restaurant Finchley My husband and I come here very regularly. Today I came here with members of FOODIE GROUP. We had a magnificent meal and were extremely well looked after by the very helpful Emre. Not only was the food delicious, but the service was perfect. One of the group was not familiar with Turkish food but is now looking forward to eating it again. Excellent value for money and everything freshly prepared.
