Similar to every other American who has come to Urfa Dürüm, I came here because Anthony Bourdain…read morehighly recommended it. It's a Kurdish restaurant in a gritty part of Paris that sells dürüm wraps, which are essentially a Turkish street food made by rolling soft flatbread around grilled meat and fresh vegetables. After a rough first meal in the City of Light that was a €50 half chicken, my soul needed this. Everything is made to order right in front of your face, and it SHOWS. We went with a chicken and a beef durum that ran €9.50, which gave my Chase Sapphire Preferred card a much needed breather. I'm struggling to find adjectives that describe how good this soft flatbread was, and I'm rarely at a loss for words. The best I can come up with is "tangibly fresh." I preferred the beef to the chicken, as it almost melted in your mouth. So damn tender. Whenever anyone asks me for a Paris rec, Urfa Dürüm will be right near the top of my list. A must hit when in the city that the US Men's Basketball team won a 2024 gold medal in. IG @johnny.novo Tiktok @jnov__ Substack @johnnynovo

My wife and I took a trip to Barcelona and Paris on a Thanksgiving holiday over eight days and our last night's dinner was at Bagalan. There was truly nothing that could have been improved upon! Our only wish is that this review could post on all review platforms simultaneously:-) The restaurant atmosphere was fantastic and the clientele was obviously full discerning diners with a casual but upscale bent. Dianne was our combination sous chef and server at the bar/counter (this is the way to go)! She was talented, both in her obvious skills as a chef, but also with her attentiveness as a server. She was an excellent multitasker, young, attractive, fun and asked us just enough questions to ascertain exactly what we would enjoy from their diverse and sophisticated Mediterranean menu. She was an impressive representative amongst a group of obviously well-curated staff. The food was fantastic and represented well the ambitious chef de cuisine, whom we also met and found to be quite enthralling. Finally, the sommelier picked the perfect wine pairings to go with the meal. He was a true professional and described in detail the attributes of several options we might enjoy with our meal. We selected a bottle of amazing Burgundy at his prompting once he learned of our order that went ideally with the early courses, followed by a selection of fantastic wines that paired perfectly with our main course! If you find yourself in Paris (district 1), love great food and are open to a well-rounded dining experience, let the team at Bagalan lead you to an evening you'll not soon forget!

After…read morea long day of walking and walking and walking, this restaurant was perfect and we surprisingly had the place to ourselves (which made me a bit concerned at first). What a gem! Our waiter was so kind. Patient as he had to explain the menu choices to us as no English (or Hebrew) menus were available. At first, my hubby was going to take the sabich but our waiter recommended the mini pita boeuf bourguignon instead. What a great choice. The beef was so tender in a delicious sauce. For me, I chose the filet daurade sauce Vierde. The fish was amazing. Loved the sauce and the pomegranates and vegetables that complimented the fish. Paired with the most delicious salad and some grilled vegetables, it was just perfect. The salad had beets, carrots and celery with pomegranates. The veggies were so thinly cut almost like an angel hair pasta. The dressing was addictive. They should bottle and sell their salad dressing. With a couple of bottles of Pellegrino, a delicious dinner for two came to about 50 euros. Highly recommend this restaurant. Check the address, it may have moved to 70 Avenue de Villiers.

No one spoke English but I made an attempt to speak the rudimentary French I know supplemented with Google translate. The staff laughed at me multiple times while I was attempting to ask them about their food. I was extremely excited to try Kurdish food because I've never had it before. I showed this enthusiasm throughout my attempt to order despite the language barrier. I decided what I wanted to eat and then the staff told a dude in the restaurant to tell me that I would have to leave at 11:30pm. It had taken 15 minutes to figure out my order because of the language barrier. So I only was being given 30 minutes to eat despite their posted closing time of midnight. I do not recommend anyone go anywhere near this restaurant unless you want to be treated like dirt.

We split the Formule decouverte, 27€ for samples of three entrees, four mains and three desserts. I can't say that I remember every dish, but I do remember being thrilled by every new flavor and texture. There were two samsas, a meat and a veg, the salade tamerlan was incredible, liked the plov, the hanoum was very baklava-like, with chak-chak as well. Sufficient portions for two to share, with great color and nice contrasts in flavors. The restaurant is tiny, maybe 20 seats max, with a nice atmosphere. The night we were in they were nearly full at ~9pm. Attentive service. Give em a try!
