Istanbul Durum

Istanbul Durum is part of the Turkish and Kurdish takeaway cluster that gives Spring Bank its distinctive culinary character. The durum — a flatbread wrap filled with grilled meat, salad and sauce — is one of the defining street foods of the Turkish-Kurdish kitchen, and Istanbul Durum serves it alongside the broader kebab menu that characterises this stretch of the road. Spring Bank has been home to Kurdish and Turkish communities since the 1990s and the food culture they brought has become a permanent feature of the neighbourhood. Istanbul Durum sits among a concentration of similar operations on the road, and its name positions it clearly as a specialist in the durum format for customers who know exactly what they want.
