Was hungry and looking for something good to eat. I remember going to durum some time back, and from what I recall their food was very nice. Emphasis on was. I ordered a lamb and chicken doner. The lamb was dry and chewy. The chicken has no flavour to it at all and was smelling. The salad we were given was stale and the lettuce was yellow. The bread they gave us was rock cold; the guy just took it out from under the counter and rolled it in a piece of paper and gave it to us. Ordered a sprite and ended up with a 7Up. I spent almost twenty pounds on this and ended up throwing it away. What you see in the photos is the monstrosity we were given. Not good at all and I will not be returning.
Excellent place to have authentic Turkish food. I went there with 4 of my work colleagues for lunch and had variety of dishes. The portion size was above average and food was tasty. Service was excellent; they didn’t hassle us or bother us too much and they were available for any help. One of the nicer things once we had the food was the fact that prices were very reasonable. Just to give you an idea, we went to a Lebanese place with the same group and it cost us twice as much and the portion size was smaller as well. So really good value for money. There are loads of street parking available as well.
Absolutely fantastic experience! The kebabs here are truly top-tier — the Adana kebab was especially delicious, perfectly seasoned and grilled to perfection. Their doner is easily one of the best in London — full of flavour, juicy, and authentically prepared. A special highlight was their homemade ayran — refreshing, creamy, and perfectly balanced. It complemented the meal beautifully and added to the authentic Turkish dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the music playlist featuring 90s–2000s Turkish pop hits created a nostalgic and genuinely enjoyable vibe. Huge thanks to Emre Bey, who provided excellent service throughout — friendly, helpful, and truly customer-focused. He made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be a regular from now on. Highly recommended for anyone looking for high-quality, authentic Turkish cuisine with great service and atmosphere!
To get straight to the point, the portion sizes are not worth value for money. I ordered a mixed shish for over £20 and as you can see there was hardly any meat and the rice quality was small too. Flavour was ok but it was pretty standard. I think there are places elsewhere in Finchley that represent better value for money when it comes to both portion size and flavour.
Everything about this restaurant was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the service was top-notch. The staff were incredibly polite, attentive, and professional. Highly recommended!
