One of the problems with this sort of blog is that there are some places I tend to go to repeatedly, and if there is nothing new to say, then I don't say anything. That is why there has been fewer entries recently. However, one point I have made is the fear of disappointment returning to really good places. A routine Saturday night meal out took us back to Durum in Finchley, which I have mentioned before. The web site has changed: it used to have a somewhat persistent music track. Now on http://durumrestaurant.co.uk/ . The web site is less informative and tells us nothing about the food, but there is now a branch in Golders Green. The pictures on the web site pretty much tell the story except the queues for takeaway kebab on Saturday nights.
Nothing much changes here except the prices. It is very busy early on Saturday night, but I booked the same day. If you go after 8.30 pm, you would probably get in without booking.
On this occasion I had the beyti kebab which is kofte in a spicy sauce on a bed of flatbread.
This was just sooooo good. It was very hot: a 10/10 on the CHOF scale, and very tasty,being in a piquant tomato sauce. It was a big helping, and I probably should not have ordered the portion of chips (also a 10 on the scale) which I shared with my wife but I did not know about the bread base. We had shared a cold mixed meze starter, which was also probably too much, and we left feeling very full. Prices have crept up a little here, and this cost £10.50 I think.
Definitely going back again.
