Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Went here with family for lunch, the waiters were friendly, gave us a small starter and some desserts on the house. The food came quickly, everything was freshly prepared, portion sizes were decent so much so we took some home! Overall, will come here again...and definitely recommend.More

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.More

Twenty four hours later my blood is still boiling.I went with my family 4 adults and 3 children last night We sat down and ordered food and all of a sudden the waiter said we had not ordered enough so we explained we had eaten...earlier and if it wasn’t enough food we would order more, but NO This waiter was implying our order was big enough cash wise. We had placed a £80 order but that shouldn’t matter like we said we had eaten earlier and would order more if we were still hungry.He was having none of it and said we need to order more or leave. After a small argument we left feeling humiliated,I was with my family and I felt embarrassed. I have never ever been turned away for not ordering enough regardless of the size of the order what about families that are on tight budgets at the moment.Durum restaurant shame on you you should never make any feel like you made me feel last night😡More

After our day out on Xmas Day we were glad to find Restaurants open on our way home. Friendly staff; shared a starter and mains. Enjoyed the food and rather expensive bottles of Ale. Good experience but perhaps too expensive for locale and the actual...food so unlikely to return.More

I bought a couple of chicken shish. Where should I start? The salad was a minuscule portion, stale, discoloured and limp. The bread was the worst I’ve ever had in a Turkish restaurant. Literally looked and tasted like paper. The chicken was less than a...skewer. For the princely amount of £12 each. My companion lifted the takeaway containers and asked where the rest of it was. And to top it off I got a stomach upset after eating the food. We used to patronise this and the otherTurkish place a few doors away on a very regular basis a few years ago and though I had a preference for the alternative place, I don’t remember the food being such poor quality at Durum. Standards have definitely dropped through the roof. Very sub-standard and overpriced tat.More

Celebrated the arrival of spring yesterday by dining wonderfully well in Durum, bright fresh delicious food and caring, attentive, friendly, efficient service being the perfect way to welcome in the season of sunshine. My husband and I shared the mixed hot meze plate as our...starter, and later I had the chicken livers which i recommend highly. The portions are generous, and the salad accompaniments so fresh, and complete that your body with thank you for coming here. Thanks to all involved, love CatherineMore

After over 20 years living in Finchley and enjoying many meals in Durum Ocakbasi the local Turkish restaurant, we have been very disappointed in our last two visits and will not go there anymore. In our recent visits, the quality of food has been very...poor. There was almost no services. The amount of food on the plates reduced to bare minimum and their prices nearly doubled. We had such a poor experience, that we decided it was our last visit to the restaurant we used to love and enjoy.More
