Durum Restaurant in Barnet

Absolutely the best grilled food and service in Finchley Central!

We always come here. Great staff with the best manners, food is amazing😍

I have been eating here for over 6 years and have never had a bad meal. My whole family love it here. The cold mixed meze starter and cop sis are our favourites. 5 stars all the way

Got the chicken shish — it was cooked to perfection! The rice didn’t quite hit the mark, but the dessert was spot on.

Been coming here the last twenty years. Best food, lovely people, highly recommend ❤️

Very good food and very big portions. Would come again. Waiters very friendly and not a long wait for food even when busy.

Local favourite for years - the food is delicious. Authentic Turkish cuisine - the staff are always welcoming and service is impeccable. Thank you

Great atmosphere, most delicious food! Extremely clean and comfortable place!

The meat is just perfect. Thanks guys.

The food was great and the service was excellent

Absolutely amazing experience at Durum! The food was bursting with flavor — fresh, authentic, and perfectly cooked. The doner wrap was one of the best I’ve had, and the portion size was generous. The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a meal, Durum is a must-visit. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back!

Unreal food, can’t beat it. If you haven’t give it a go.

I come here regularly, and every time both the service and food is impeccable. The staff are delightful and the food, especially the koftas, are delectable.

Never disappoints. Food, service and ambience always excellent.

The food was amazing! Because of this place I now love Turkish food! Big platter, tasty food… what more can you ask for?

Fantastic food and the service was amazing.

Best Hallep Kebab in my entire long life. And the Baklava melts in your mouth. From a local I can’t recommend any better Turkish food around here. Thank you Azo

Very good food makes you feel at home, amazing

I couldn’t recommend Dürum higher. We’ve been getting take away from here for years and our whole family LOVE it. We ate in today for the first time and the attention to detail is second to none. It’s a no brainer. get yourself along. The food is incredible and the staff are wonderful.

A nice restaurant in the middle of Finchley Central. Had some chicken shish and lahmacun, which came out quickly and was quite tasty. Especially appreciated the complementary bread and pistachio baklava, which were also delicious. Service also quite good. Overall, not much to complain about!

Lovely little place, great service and delicious grilled onions on the house.

Great food and service. Regulars treated like kings. Thank you to the team, emre,

Excellent food and great service!

Lovely restaurant with great service and delicious food. We’ve been going there for over 10 years and it still feels like a treat!

thank you so much! great food and great dessert :)

Fantastic food and service. Best grill in London. We love Durum!

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.

Delicious lunch I just had with my friend. Fresh and juicy meat, excellent salad, fast service. Thank you

The first time I tried this restaurant very good service and the food was delicious .thanks

This is one of the best turkish restaurants. They use high quality ingredients for a very reasonable price. The service is exceptional and the chefs are talented. The food here is delicious and its always a great choice to come here. Emre provides the friendliest and is very helpful. This is the best restaurant in North London

Kebab varieties are very delicious, a wonderful atmosphere with friendliness and meticulousness. I recommend it to kebab lovers.

If you want to get delicious kebab and friendly service, I recommend you to visit Durum.

The food was way too expensive and their was no sauce on the table and it had no flavour

Azo and ozi they are amazing waiters I see in all restaurants I go they do kind and respectful and helpful and food also amazing I will come back again I m so happy 😋

Great food both as takeaway as well as eating in the restaurant. Service is brilliant and will always keep coming back

I went to this restaurant for a takeaway meal, around 12-1pm. For a Thursday and lunch time, it was pretty decent the environment. While waiting for my order, they offered a Turkish tea (very attentive detail for customer satisfaction and interaction😉). I was greeted very politely by all employees 😊 and the food... Ohh the food was very good 👌🏾. Definitely coming back!

Azo and Emre were very kind and welcoming! Very nice restaurant! Massive recommendation! Will visit more in the future!

Excellent place to connect with friends! Food is amazing and the staff are very attentive. Could not have wanted anything else from a meal out!

Amazing service and food, i’ve been a recurring customer for a long time and constantly enjoy the food.

Best Turkish in north london! Great service and food every time 🙌

Had a lovely meal at Durum in Finchley! We ordered the lamb, which was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. It came with a fresh, vibrant salad that balanced the richness of the meat really well. To top it off, we were served a warm cup of chai and some delicious baklava — the perfect sweet finish. The service was friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Definitely a spot worth returning to!

Superb as always - warm, friendly staff,.delicious food.

We absolutely love Durum. The food is fresh and delicious, we are always made to feel so welcome and the complimentary desert is a winner!

We have been coming here for over 15 years, the food and service is still top, our preferred waiter of 15 years Emre is still the best! Everything is just outstanding. I wish we lived closer to it. One of the few restaurants where nothing changed.

Good food and wonderful service

Great dining experience with our kids . Lovely food. Will be back

Everyone claims to be a kebab expert but here your food is tasty and prepared as it should be. Courteous staff and a great meal

coming here for years , service is amazing food is great

Very nice food and great service always a pleasure

Great food and hospitality from Emery and team! Thank you!

Lovely staff, good atmosphere, and delicious food. The lamb shish kebab is my favourite. Highly recommend Durum restaurant.

Was staying locally at the Travelodge. Very glad to have ventured up to Dürüm. The food was sensational, great service and atmosphere too. For sure the best tabbouleh I've had. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Best Turkish restaurant in North London. 5* food and service every time

Very delicious and abundant Turkish food and very attentive service!!! Totally recommended!!!!

Excellent Food and Friendly Service I stopped by Durum Ocakbasi to pick up a lamb kebab on my way home, and I was really impressed by both the food and the service. The staff were very friendly and served me with a warm smile, which made me feel welcome right away. While I waited for my order, they even offered me a cup of Turkish tea — a lovely gesture that added a personal touch to the experience. The food was fresh, delicious, and clearly made with care. It’s not just the great taste that will bring me back, but also the warm and genuine hospitality. Highly recommended!

Been here so many times and we always come back, delicious food!

Such an amazing experience, from the scrumptious food with elegant flavors of Anatolia, to the warm hospitality of Turkish people, traditional music and cozy ambient Must try 😋

Everything was great and delicious 🌹❤️

Beautiful, delicious food and great service. We would recommend 👍

Always lovely service and good meal. Love the bread and dips

Lovely food … lovely service … great place will definitely come back …!!!

honestly such a lovely evening here. Friendly staff, amazing portions, delicious food. We got the cold meze to start and then the lamb kofte for mains. AMAZING

We have been coming to this restaurant for nearly 20 years as a family. The taste has not changed for years. I appreciate the team and management. It is a great thing to achieve this for so many years. It is one of the best restaurants in London and best service Thank you for everything.

Perfect restaurant, everything is great, prices are very affordable, homemade doner kebabs are very nice, me and my family have been coming here for 12 years, thank you for everything, service very very good the restaurant family thankyou very much everything.

My parents first took my brother and I here when we were children almost 25 years ago. It remains as good today as it was back then. The best Turkish restaurant in London. I now come here with my wife and her family who share the same opinion of this amazing place. Top quality foot and kind humble service every time.

Lovely restaurant with great service! (Especially Amre) Fresh food!

Wonderful food and service. Thanks very much indeed!

We had a lovely time at this restaurant with our boys. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The food was absolutely delicious – fresh and tasty. It’s a great spot for families, and we felt really well looked after from start to finish. Highly recommended – we’ll definitely be back.

Dürüm is the best Turkish restaurant in the whole of NW London. The quality of the food is superior to anything else I’ve tried. The staff are always friendly and it’s always a pleasure to visit!!

Amazing staff and food was good.

Another tasty meal. Fresh and authentic

Emer and Azil provided excellent service. Always super friendly and attentive. The food is 10/10 and recommend to anyone trying out Turkish cuisine. I’d recommend trying out the mixed doner.

The best Turkish kebab in Notth London!

Delicious food and friendly staff. A real find in Finchley. I’ve been going there for years!

Simply the best Turkish food in north London. Everything was tasty and cooked to perfection

Great place. Old school family run Turkish joint where the food has been consistently good for many many years.

Fantastic food as always Good value for money Highly recommend

This is one of my favourite restaurants in London and everytime I go the food and service are outstanding! I highly recommend this to everyone as traditional Turkish food. Some of my personal favourites on the menu are Ezmeli Kebap and spicy chicken wings. They also do platters perfect for sharing!

Fantastic place to eat delicious food

Exceptional food and wonderful service.

No long wait for food. Generous portion. Not my first time here and definitely not the last

Very welcoming staff, great atmosphere and incredible chicken shish

I love Durum. I’ve been coming here for about 17 years. The standards never drop. The food is superb and beautifully presented by a very professional team. My particular favourite is the Aubergine Kebab but I’ve tasted everything on the menu and it’s all superb. It’s one of the most consistently excellent places I’ve been to and I’ll be coming back again and again for many years to come. Book a table now and enjoy every minute!!!

Although the food is nice please note that the chicken shish has 4 bits of chicken and doesn’t even come with rice. (But does bread) it’s not good value for money and the small is not at all an acceptable portion for an adult:

The best Turkish restaurant in the area, always fresh and delicious food.

at the end they gave us sweets and turkish tea great experience ✌️

Been many times at Durum before, and what keeps me coming back is that these guys, kitchen and front of house staff really look after you like you were from their families, world world class! Big shout to Azo!

nice food nice area incredible staff. special thanks to Azo for being helpful, welcoming and suggesting the best options.

Very good authentic Turkish food. The service was perfect. The atmosphere was very relaxing and cozy. The portions were large. Would certainly go again. They also served us tea on the house.
