This is the real deal homemade fresh felafel full of flavor and grape leaves are authentic. Gyros are the real deal good size off the skewer. Check them out! I went twice in one week. read more

Gyros as big as your head! Very tasty but can get a bit crowded at lunch so go early. We hit this spot a few times a month for lunch--very good! read more

I ordered takeout and the food and service was good. The reason for three stars is because there were people smoking in the restaurant which was a big turn-off. read more

You know what? That's a darn good gyro. This place is trying to be a Chipotle-style restaurant for gyros and Greek food, and it does a decent job of that. The food is solid. The gyro probably deserves to be the best in Cincinnati, probably. There's not a whole lot of seating in the place, so plan accordingly. As with most places in Blue Ash, this place gets slammed for lunch. read more

Sorry, the gyro meat is just average. Gave it 2 tries and was disappointed twice despite the great concept and overwhelmingly friendly staff. The meat is seasoned ... differently than most ... and is also less juicy than your favorite gyro meat. Sadly, it isn't the right combo for me as a self-proclaimed gyro connoisseur. However, their baklava is legitimately delicious and the food portions are tremendous. Very good tzatziki and the falafel was decent too. Go for baklava, overall portion sizes and friendly smiles. But lower your expectations for the gyro meat. read more

HUGE disappointment... My husband and I got a side of falafels, a chicken platter, and a gyro sandwich. First off, the falafels weren't crispy and they put some yogurt sauce over it that made the falafels even more soggy! The chicken platter basically was a bed of 3 different types of salads with salty chicken over it and a bit of hummus. The chicken platter needed rice or something to balance out the flavors a bit. Everything on the platter was just too salty and tangy and there was nothing to counter balance those flavors. The chicken was nothing special. It was just like chicken breast meat cut into pieces and then seasoned a bit. It tasted like something my husband and I make at home all the time. no biggy. Lastly the gyro sandwich. This sandwich was a mess! There was WAY too much meat in it for it to even be considered a sandwich - it was impossible to hold and eat! The meat again was too salty and the proportion of meat to sauce and meat to veggies was just OFF! I have to give one thing to them.... they are not shy on their meat portions, but the workers were really brash and rude and we just did not like their food. We had way too much left over not only because of how much they gave us but because their food was just not good... read more

I have to say this is one of the best Gyro's I have ever had! It is a little higher price than some of the places I been but for the amount of food and the quality, it is well worth it. It is sad that it is a little far from my house but next time I am in the area, I would love to stop in again. read more

Durum Grill - Giant size gyro! - Turkish Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Gyro Doner Kebab 10/10 Grape leaves weren't really my thing. Seating is scarce and the lunch line goes out the door. Will definitely hit this place up again. read more

I must be the one weirdo in the bunch. I went here based off of all of the awesome yelp reviews and maybe my expectations were a bit too high but it was just a bit meh. Part of that may be my fault - I went with Gyro meat but I got it on lettuce vs a pita but it was just...fine. I thought the meat could have definitely had more flavor, as well as the tzatziki. Plus I felt like the meat was a bit skimpy portion wise (again, maybe because I got it on lettuce vs. in a pita). If it came down to it, I'd hit up Areti's in Findley or Chicago Gyro in Clifton before Durum. I do want to give this place another shot though and I'll update my review if anything changes! read more

The best. Absolute best falafel in town, fresh veggies, bang-bang ordering procedure, simple menu, generally good for you, great price. The closest thing to perfection I've seen in a while. read more

I've been here a couple of times and everytime I go food quality is the same. It's fresh and super flavorful! My go to is the gyro with kafta(half & half). Definitely check it out they give huge portions and are very nice and welcoming. You won't be disappointed. read more

New owners take great pride in their fresh Tzatziki and hummus. It didn't disappoint. Salad dressing, grape leaves all hit the mark. I was really impressed. You get a sense the brothers are fully committed to satisfying the customer. They are also expanding the menu. Next time I will try the Greek fries. Bravo! Ps. Would pass on the rice. read more

Awesome our office is in the eastgate area and we just had to come down and check this out!! And we were pleasantly surprised!! Atmosphere is cozy and decor is colorful and friendly staff = awesome!!! Definitely must try you will not be disappointed. ;) read more

Durum Grill - Sooo goood!!!! - Turkish Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

Chicken salad with pita on the side was fantastic! Nice little mom and pop type place to grab a quick lunch or dinner. Tables inside the restaurant also. Atmosphere not fit for romantic evening. Very casual. Friendly owners/staff. Food was delicious and an excellent value. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

So so good. An unexpected place in a random strip of businesses in Blue Ash but GREAT gyros. They're huge, filled with food. The gyro meat is sliced off the rotisserie, which always indicates to me that it's authentic and will be delicious. They then throw it on the flat top to crisp it up. You can add any toppings you want (normal tomato, feta, onion, sauce, but also banana peppers, olives, etc.). Their tzatziki sauce is the bomb. Not just yogurt with a ton of dill and cucumber. Legit tzatziki. They do charge $0.50 for their pop though! Used to be free, so just a heads up on that change. Still, that's super cheap. read more

It's the perfect little Greek/Lebanese joint. Excellent gyro, nice seating and atmosphere. You'll be back

The worker was not friendly. The food is not the best and from my opinion it doesn't represent the Mediterranean food 100% but not bad to try new things. read more

Went here after hearing the great reviews. Unfortunately waiting 35 minutes already had my a tad weary. I asked the front register to please place no dairy of any on anything i was purchasing. As a person who eats plant based this was discouraging to notice the feta cheese on my wrap. Told me to come back after wasting half an hour on my lunch time. I wish i could say it was good but i ate it and immediately got sick. read more

It has been a while since visiting Durum Grill, which had been a Favorite Greek restaurant for many years. There must be new ownership as the food quality was very low and the person making the food didn't even wear a mask. read more

I was actually heading to another restaurant in the same plaza, before I saw #1gyros! I thought that's a bold statement might as well check them out! Small restaurant but really friendly and knowledgeable staff. I was having a rough day and Liz was a pleasure to talk to. I was on the fence about what to get and she recommended the gyro plate... love... love... love!!!! Huge portion you definitely get your money's worth!!! So delicious!! I used to live in Europe so I'm really biased about gyros and this place did right by me!!! I can't wait to go back!! read more

I went to this restaurant for the first time on July 20th where I had the steak gyro and tried falafel for the first time. My wife was with me and she had the chicken gyro. We're both quite adventurous when it comes to trying different things and had never had traditionally made gyros before. I must say, this place has converted me to traditional Middle Eastern food without a doubt. The gyro I had was fresh, the bread soft without being too soft. The vegetables were crisp and the tzatziki was amazing. The falafel was piping hot from the fryer, it had a crunchy exterior giving way to a fluffy green interior that was expertly seasoned throughout. Dip that falafel into the sauce provided and you are in heaven. Inside the restaurant was clean and inviting. Minimal decoration, but enough to create an air of the Mediterranean. The staff is friendly and welcomed us warmly. My second taste of this great restaurant was take out that I just had the pleasure of finishing. There are a lot of restaurants out there that make great food in the restaurant itself but their take out leaves much to be desired. With the exception of the less than perfect falafel(but I'm well aware of the difficulties in making fried food that can withstand being packaged for take out so I give it a pass), everything tasted just as amazing as in the restaurant. This time I had the shawarma and now I know why Tony Stark wanted it so bad. Because its @#$%*&^! awesome. You are doing yourself a disservice if you do no try this place, and soon. read more

Best gyro I've had in 20 years. Small, just a few tables. Clean. Great staff. Will be back.

Had carryout for lunch and ordered the chicken shawurma sandwich as recommended by my coworker. Delicious!!! So good that I wish I was having it for dinner tonight. Seriously can't wait to try something else from Durum. read more

Love it! Great for lunch. Everytime I go there's a decent crowd. Lots of regulars. Shawarma is my favorite. Very fresh

Gyros and platters as big as your head! Or bigger! Delicious as well. Walk up counter and made fresh. Clean

The gyro was just okay. There was a lot of meat, maybe even too much. The overflowing meat and sauce made it pretty messy to eat. I would have preferred a little less meat, and more feta cheese. Also, the other reviews kept mentioning the meat being crispy, but I was not served crispy gyro meat, it was soft and lukewarm. The tabouli had bottled lemon juice, which is an unforgivable shortcut in my opinion. There are better Mediterranean restaurants in this area, I'd skip this one. read more

Durum Grill - Tabouli - Turkish Near Me - Blue Ash, Ohio

See all

I'm always trying to find new and different things to eat so I saw this place opened near my office and really wanted to check it out. I don't know much about gyros and truly believed I didn't like them. I was interested in other items such as hummus and baba ganoush (both are super by the way) so I wanted to see what they had to offer. Something made me order a gyro just to try it.......and I've had at least 5 since then. OMG they're so good. The meat is very flavorful and you get a very hearty portion. Also the different salads they put on the gyros are so fresh and good. Overall everything I've had is very fresh and delicious. It's priced mid-range but I don't mind paying if I like what I receive. I hope more and more people find out about this place so they will have plenty of business. Don't know what I'll do if they were gone! If you're curious at all, go. You will like it. I love it and I'm very picky. read more

The kind of place you can eat at 2 days straight (trust me). I found out about this place last month. I could smell the gyro my co worker was eating from across the hall. I was shocked when I actually peeked in and saw what he was eating. "Where did you get that?" and that is how I found out about Durum Grill. The staff is incredibly friendly, the portions are huge, and the ingredients are fresh. It's high quality food at a very reasonable price. You can have your steak burrito from Chipotle. I'll take a steak schwarama from Durum Grill. read more

My wife and I ate here recently. I ordered the gyro meat platter and she had the standard gyro. The amount of meat was impressive. The vegitables were fresh and tasty. The falafels were also great. Wish we lived closer so we could eat more often. read more

I'm constantly impressed by the food at Durum. The shawarma sandwich with gyro meat is outstanding - order it loaded and be sure t0 ask for their hot sauce too. The menu is really simple - few options with choice of meat/veggies - and most meals are about $7-8 (with drink). The quality is solid, taste is incredible, and service is fast. You wouldn't expect to find great gyros tucked away in Blue Ash but a gem for a quick bit when you're in the gyro mood... read more

Very tasty gyro. Clean and owner is very nice! Decor is also great! Would recommend to anyone that likes Turkish food

The Dürüm Grill offers authentic Mediterranean Turkish cuisine in a first-of-its-kind format - made to order in a fresh fast-food style (like Chipotle or Subway). Customers enjoy fresh-made-every-day food in a casual lunch-break-friendly format. The décor is a blend of modern and classic Turkish, and the restaurant was neat and clean. Customers visiting the Dürüm Grill select a bread (tortilla, pita, or gyro bread), a meat or veggie filling, toppings, sides if desired, and beverages. The kitchen staff prepared while I waited. House specialties include a secret family recipe marinated chicken, the Doner kebab (one of the most popular foods in Europe in general and Germany in particular), the Shawurma sandwich (wrapped in a Turkish tortilla bread), and unique side salads. I loved the food I selected (the Doner kebab and the carrot salad) and will be bringing friends and family back! read more

Gyros on point & some super tasty baklava! Just to say the least! This place is a hidden treasure if you can find the boys cutting meat slightly less busy. Try anything on the menu & accept a little Turkish attitude and you'll enjoy every bite.. You get what you pay for. read more

I came in on a Saturday evening to grab some takeout. There was only 1 other customer inside. Lots of great reviews here so given the location my guess is they do a lot of business at lunch during the week. I ordered the gyro platter to go. It included a very generous portion of gyro meat which was tender but with some crispy edges...my fav. Also included was a small side of rice (great flavor), salad (lettuce, matchstick carrots, purple cabbage and sliced tomatoes) hummus and pita. It was enough for 2. Service was great. I will be returning! read more

I stopped in and got carry out today for lunch. The wait time was short, the portion sizes are huge, the food is delicious and the staff were a joy to talk to. My coworker and I each ordered a Chicken Schwarma wrap, and split an order of fries. I ordered a small salad as well - Because I have no self control when I am hungry. No RaGrEtS. 10/10 will be back. read more

I come here once a week - That should be banned. The lines can be long sometimes, so I've decided to stop sharing with other folks about how delicious this place is. That's how much I like it. Service is still awesome and the ingredients are as fresh as can be. After trying everything on their menu, I've decided steak is my favorite. read more

This place used to be great. It was my go-to place for gyros. New ownership has raised prices and reduced quality. Sadly it will no longer be on my lunch rotation. read more

Great food, great prices, and great service. Fresh, quality ingredients, more than generous portions. You can dine inside or outside on the patio. My recommendations in order: shwarma, gyro, and then the doner kabob.What more could you ask for. read more

This was my first experience eating at a Mediterranean restaurant in the states. I will have to say that the staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. The lady working the register really helped me with my dilemma with trying to decide between the kebab and Shawarma. I went with the Shawarma and have no regrets! Such a great deal for only $8.00 including a drink and taxes! read more

I'm sorry but I don't understand how this place gets such high reviews. While they give you nice portions I found the Gyro meat and the sauce to be overly salted (and I like salt) to the point where I couldn't eat it. Also, the falafel where dry and tasteless - also over salted. I did enjoy the Baklava! I don't plan to return. read more
