Akarsu
Casual Turkish eatery with traditional mezze and grill offerings, including vegan-marked staples like vine leaves and falafel wrap. Portions tend to be moderate with affordable lunch deals; staff are generally warm and knowledgeable, though recent reviews highlight unclear vegan labeling on some dishes. Outdoor seating and wheelchair access add to its practical appeal in Durham.
