    Homemade Falafel  Gluten Free

    Homemade falafel, says he makes in house no flour gluten free Came with tahini sauce and ordered a side of fries. Casual and authentic

    Gyro Meat Gyro
    Christopher M.

    Food was great - clean interior and has outdoor seating I'll echo a lot of the posts here - it really is a lot of food for the money, honestly you could split one gyro and fries between two people pretty easily

    gyro platter

    One of my favorite places to go for a gyro platter. Portions are very generous and the salad was very fresh. The place is small and you may be the only customer there at the moment. Nothing fancy, but it is great comfort food.

    Falafel
    Steve A.

    A good place for Greek and Mediterranean is Durum Grill. It has real big portions. The falafel is the best item on the menu. It also has other classics. Pretty much everything is good there. It's in a strip mall in Blue Ash. Maybe that sounds kind of horrible. The food is good though. It has a small dining area. This place can get cramped, but people come because they like it, so that's a good sign. I had the falafel pita. It's about $6 for only the pita. The falafel was pretty big size. It was cooked enough without it being burnt. This was much better tasting than those Americanized gyro shops. I saw many other good looking items on the menu. Some of these include the hummus and tabbouli. It's the best Mediterranean food in Blue Ash. I have loved everything I've eaten. You can't go wrong with a falafel wrap.

    Dry ass gyro meat
    Keevin D.

    I wish I knew how to say terrible in Arabic or maybe disgusting. Oh where to start ..... We originally did an online order through door dash for pickup. I arrive and no one is in the restaurant except for the cook/owner who in the back eating. He comes out to the counter and goes on to explain that he didn't get the order from door dash even though they sent us confirmation that they sent it to his establishment. Anyhow he tells us to cancel it through door dash and just order with him and we oblige. A gyro platter with fries and salad and substitute babagenoush, a falafel wrap , side of rice and hummus. Let me start by saying the only thing that was good was the rice. I didn't get any babagenoushe , they put the fried and salad in the same to go container so the fries were soggy and the salad was warm -- smh. The gyro meat was the worst thing ever. It was dry and hard like jerky. The hummus was sooooo chalky like they used old tahini , no lemon or olive oil and dry chic peas. I paid $35 for a seriously bad meal and I will never go to this place and I suggest no one else do. There are plenty of better Mediterranean places to eat at that take pride in their ingredients and the food they put out. You can tell this place doesn't give a damn.

    Falafel döner
    Missi R.

    I discovered this oasis of excellence in a strip mall setting in Blue Ash. I had searched Yelp for "authentic döner" while in Cincinnati and this place popped up. So I drove over here to check it out on my way back to Indy. I ordered a vegetarian döner, with everything. It was stuffed with ingredients and covered with just the right amount of sauce. The falafel was tasty, the veggies were crisp. I would have enjoyed a spicier sauce, and I will inquire if a spicy version of the sauce is available. This was a quick stop as I didn't have much time to spare before I had to head back to Indy. But I had enough time to note that the employees were friendly and helpful and the restaurant was very clean. All the food I observed looked delicious and I plan to return here the next time I am in the Cincinnati area to try a platter. The baklava looked amazingly delicious and I will definitely try that on my next visit. Blue Ash has several hidden gems, add Durum Grill to the list.

    Chicken durum kabob
    Andrea J.

    I've been here a few times before as my office is near by. Today I arrived around 12:30 and there was quite a long line. The cashier (and I believe owner) was very nice, but the rest of the employees were super quiet. I ordered the chicken durum kabab (pita filled with chicken, lettuce, tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce). Once they finally started making my lunch, I realized that I wanted to add some toppings. I asked for pickles and banana peppers to which I believe she put in 3 pickles and 2 small banana pepper pieces. I also added the hot sauce they have, which is very tasty. I was disappointed however in the oily chicken. It was not all white meat and it seemed like it was cooked in 1/2 a cup of oil! I know it was the lunch time rush, but I feel like a somewhat healthy lunch was not so healthy or fast today.

    Chicken platter. Generous portions. Bland food.
    Chioma I.

    This review is based solely on the food as my coworkers and I ordered delivery from here. I never visited the restaurant or interacted with staff. They say we eat with our eyes first and visually my eyes were happy. After taking my first bite, I realized the presentation was as good as the meal was going to get. The chicken was cooked well but had no discernible flavor and lacked salt. The rice was bland on its own and the chicken certainly wasn't of any assistance. The hummus was average at best. I've had much better. The side salad was a bizarre mix of ingredients one might find in the fridge before declaring it's time to go grocery shopping - pickles, olives, shredded carrots. Just a strange combo and not very appetizing. The pita that came with it was nothing special. On the plus side the portion sizes are large. You could easily get 2-3 meals out of it. The issue is I wouldn't want to get 2-3 meals out of this. Actually I would have been fine with getting none. At the end of it all I was left with a lot of leftovers for food that I'd happily give away.

    Paul N.

    Overall, I would say Duram Grill is middle of the pack as far as restaurants for Mediterranean and Turkish style food. The salad is great, but felt the baba, chicken shawarma, and rice were just okay. Flavor profile was just not up to par from my experience. I like brighter flavors and felt theirs just lacked a punch! Would definitely recommend the salad, probably better to have the gyro meat as it seems to be better reviewed across the board. I will say the portions were huge and filling and the service was good. Would definitely come back for another try on another day!

    The ambiance is wonderful, the service was excellent... but the food lacked seasoning…read more The dishes were beautifully presented - but everything needed a generous amount of salt for the flavors to come out. All the tables around us you heard the grind of the salt and pepper mills. We started with the bread they served and dip- it was good. We ordered the cheese borek ($13) it was flat- just tasted mildly of the cheese- flakey exterior. We ordered the Ribeye steak ($43) - it was presented on a cutting board and while that is aesthetic- the steak was luke warm. Ordered medium rare- it came out just past that and was very tough and chewy. The mash had no seasoning and was cold. The vegetables were cold as well. The Moussaka ($26) was ok- after a decent helping of salt on each layer. I did add a generous amount of pepper as well- that is subjective- but sadly it needed it because it just was all one note. I love moussaka, I've never had it taste just of cheese. There was so much cheese. The béchamel as listed on the menu wasn't present- just a lot of the kashkaval cheese. We ordered classic walnut baklava and what he called a Turkish dessert which was like a flan with a burned top- listed as Caramalized Pudding (Custard)- which both were delicious. ($12) ($11) $140 including tip was the total for two. We always give a place a few tries because off nights can happen- we will update. This visit just wasn't the best.

I tried their Green Goddess version that has spinach (instead of tomato sauce) and feta. The food is a solid 3. I also ordered the Dubai Chocolate latte. It was a 3 as you taste more the milk than the chocolate syrup. I also got their chocolate chip banana bread.
