Durum Doner Turkish-Mediterranean Cuisine — Restaurant in Totowa

I selfishly don't want to write a glowing review on this place but it's too good not to share.

We shared a medium cold appetizer platter first (so damn good - 2 types of eggplant items, deliciously nutty hummus, yummy grape leaves stuffed with rice, and some nutty/lentily item I don't know the name of). We also got the falafel appetizer and they were the fluffiest ones I've ever had - tender and crispy. For entree, we ordered the doner entree and it was really good. I usually am not a fan of lamb gamey-flavor, but this was good - juicy, crispy, and tender all at the same time. Rice was flavorful and almost buttery, and salad was fresh - very nice combo. We also got Turkish tea and coffee (both great). The restaurant staff was so sweet and gave us a free dessert - a Turkish pudding with bananas, honey, and pistachio - and it was so good. We left stuffed and satisfied 😁.

Highly recommend this place - you won't be...

Today was my first time trying Durum Doner and I will say it is my last. I ordered the family platter which feeds 4 and boy was it a rip off! First of all the amount of meat given was enough to feed only two people and it was overly spiced!!!! They advertised giving Turkish & Pita bread and all I received was 3 pieces of pita bread wrapped in aluminum foil! The only reason I’m giving them two stars is because they forget to deliver my rice, but when I called the sweet lady behind delivered a plate of rice to me. Turkish restaurants are known for having amazing food and never had I had a bad experience with one, but there’s a first for everything. It was a total rip off and I won’t be...

Durum Doner Turkish Gyro and Kebab doesn’t look like much when you pass it but don’t miss it. Hands down some of the best Mediterranean food you’ll find anywhere. We had the mixed appetizer which included baba ganoush, hummus, grape leaves, several eggplant salads, Vegan Kofteh, spinach salad all beautifully presented and served with fresh homemade bread. The lentil soup was fresh and delicious as were the chicken and traditional gyro sandwiches. We even got some lovely Turkish tea and sweets at the end. The portions were very generous too. Don’t...
