Durum (Turkish: dürüm, “to roll”) is a Turkish wrap: thin lavaş bread rolled tightly around meat — usually döner, chicken döner or adana — with fresh vegetables and sauce. Handy, savoury and the street-food classic.
Durum or döner: what is the difference?
Simple: in a durum the meat is rolled in thin bread; “döner” on a bun or as a plate is the same meat, just served differently.
What is in a durum?
Lavaş bread, meat (döner, chicken or adana), tomato, onion, lettuce and sauce (garlic or spicy). Popular variations are the chicken durum, adana durum and shawarma durum. At Yasemin, all meat is 100% halal and freshly prepared.
Durum is not the same as durum wheat
Note: Google mixes two things. The wrap is called durum (dürüm); durum wheat is the hard wheat used for pasta and bulgur. Your durum's bread may be made from durum wheat, but the durum you order is the wrap.
Durum: make it yourself or order fresh?
No time to roll? Yasemin delivers fresh, 100% halal Turkish dishes chilled and never frozen, ready in 5 minutes. See the meat dishes or the full menu.
