One of the best restaurant in North London, excellent service every time,

delicious food,great value for money. We have been back many times and never found a fault. If someone finds a fault with it, then they must have been in the wrong restaurant.

I've eaten at durum restaurant a few times now, but I will never be going back for more. The food is rather bland, and was never really piping hot like a meal should be. The service is rather slow too and well I just would not recommend it to any friends.

The reviews here are very odd as Durum is great . I understand about the Calamari as its the only weak point . The rest is fab. All this talk of shouting and cameras is just weird . Been there at least 25 times and like it alot. Some gripes here are to do with something else I am sure .

Have been going for 15 years to this restaurant. Tried many other Turkish restaurants but always come back here. Their meat is the best and always consistent which is all you ask for. That is a sign of a good eatery. If you want lovely atmosphere and dining experience it may not be your cup of tea.

However if you want good food this is the place. I always take my business clients there and they all love it.

I had dinner to this restaurant with a group of friends.

I ordered Fried Calamari!!! I ate nothing of WORST in my life that such Calamari. Obviously Frozen, Calamari inside where not existent, only a small ring of Calamari of the diameter of 2mm!! The rest oily battered stuff that made the rings big and interesting to see.

Extremely extremely untasty and bad. The cost for such dish..that even in the worst take away you can have was expensive also.

Atmosphere more as take away than restaurant. Service OK, salads good.

If you go there, please avoid Calamari, maybe kebab or meat dishes are better.

You people are all mad, my son and myself have been munching the food here for three years now, we love it and would not eat kebabs/turkish food anywhere else. The meat is very fresh and extremely tasty. Fools the lot of ya!!

The entire Caputsnik family eat here regularly!

I can't believe how low the score is for this restaurant. I have eaten there only twice, but that is twice in two weeks due to the quality of the food. The Salmon was flaky and juicy, I haven't had such lovely fish in a restaurant in such a long time and it was just what I was craving! I only ordered the salmon and was served a selection of dips and breads and dessert free of charge on both visits! I was very impressed with this restaurant and will go many times in the future if the quality of food stays the way it is.
