Durak Tantuni is widely praised for its authentic Turkish offerings, particularly its expertly prepared lamb tantuni served in either wraps or traditional bread. Reviewers consistently highlight the freshness of the ingredients and the simplicity of the menu, which focuses on quality over quantity. The use of tender lamb shoulder and the accompanying homemade ayran stand out as favored elements. Customers also appreciate the clean and welcoming atmosphere, alongside attentive and friendly service. Though the setting is modest and unpretentious, the combination of genuine flavors and a straightforward approach has earned Durak Tantuni a reputation as one of London’s best spots for traditional tantuni over the past two decades.

I've been wanting to visit this place for awhile. You get exactly what they advertise. A lamb mince sandwich either in a wrap or a thicker bread. And it's perfectly executed! They serve it to you with plate of chilis and lemons. The food is made to order, fresh and absolutely delicious! What really impressed me was how clean the restaurant was. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive. I can't wait to come back!

Amazing, authentic tantuni—my boyfriend (Turkish) said eating there made it feel like he was in Turkey. Small menu, but everything is done well. We ordered the double wrap (5.00) and tantuni in bread (9.00) to share and it was delicious. The cut of lamb they use, lamb shoulder, is really nice and its flavour not too overpowering. The homemade ayran was some of the best I’ve had. Like most Turkish places they offer complimentary tea at the end of the meal. Has a nice, casual atmosphere, and everyone there at the time was Turkish which is always a good sign. Make sure to bring cash as they don’t take card!

Legendary! Simple, clean, scrumptious meat wraps in its best. The Chef can not be more fatherly! Must make your way.

Mouth watering, absolutely amazing. The bread is thin so you can taste all the fillings. I’ve just eaten 4 of them. And don’t forget the fresh ayran to drink.

Just gone this evening to try after seeing on Instagram. I had the warmest reception, the woman working showed me the correct way to eat the wrap and it was so good and fresh

They only offer one dish and i wouldn't have it any other way as it is perfect and mouth watering. I have taken many of my friends to help them explore Turkish food and it always exceed their expectations. I usually get about 2-3 tantuni depending on my hunger and pairs perfectly with ayran. Parking available and always open till late
