May 11, 201115 yr 210 baht for a pita kebab - I don't think so. They sell for 50-80 baht on the street. yeah, but they put mayonnaise and ketchup on....YUCK! They always ask me first if I want it on
May 11, 201115 yr My memories of a UK Donner Kebab usually involved the following: After my first bite - "Why didn't you order the burger and chips...? - Next time order the burger and chips...! - Didn't you promise yourself last time that next time you would order the burger and chips...? Why did you have to order the Large Donner...?" Then waking up on the sofa in the morning surrounded by a semi-familiar aroma emanating mainly from my fingers - "Did I get lucky last night or did I stop by the kebab shop on the way home"? 99 times out of a hundred the styrofoam box on the coffee table and strands of lettuce on my chest broke the bad news to me.
May 11, 201115 yr I'm no kebab connoisseur (far from it) but to me the kebab you get from the Döner Kebab cart in the food court in Carrefour tastes quite good. My only complaint would be that I can taste a hint of cinnamon in them. Then again, that may be how they are supposed to taste. I've never noticed any taste of cinnamon in those kebabs. The kebabs sold at the Carrefour Kiosk (food court) are the best I've tasted. The taste will vary depending on the sauces you wish to include but the chicken is nicely done and served in generous portions.

And there was always one in your crowd that had to shout the old chestnut "Chili Sauce mate?" at the staff which gave you all a schoolboy snigger....makes you wonder what "extras" were thrown in for the abuse they got every Friday and Saturday night!

May 11, 201115 yr Have you tried the yoghurt drink they sell? Very refreshing. Yes, I did try it once. I like their lentil soup.
May 13, 201115 yr For those of you who might be coming up to korat Siam Pizza and Kabob has great Donner Kabobs at 45 baht each. Picked up a couple to go yesterday. They are located across from the University on route 205 in Korat. Barry Edited May 13, 201115 yr by barryofthailand
May 19, 201115 yr Most of the street venders are selling the same as what i used to get in Bahrain and Oman. They are called shawama's. I think thats how to spell it. I watch where i buy them now. Went in nice, came out bad; if you know what i mean. I have a house at soi khaow talo and have seen them towing there meat past, uncovered and still on the spinning cooker thing. Nice. I wouldn't like to be the first person to buy of that vender. Good to here Punch and Judy pub is selling them. Next time i'm near i'll be in. Mouth is already watering.
May 24, 201115 yr There's a new Turkish Doner place on Walking Street now, called Istanbul Palace, just next to Lucifer. Proper Turkish style pita bread freshly baked in a wood oven on the premises, yogurt dressing, yummy! (There's another new Turkish place a bit further down WS but it's the same as all the other Kebab places - wraps, ketchup and mayo.) (Edit: photos resized) Edited May 24, 201115 yr by WyattEarp
May 24, 201115 yr Having worked for almost 4 years in Turkey...I can assure that the Donner Kebab(s) did not originate in Greece. Edited May 24, 201115 yr by IMA_FARANG
May 24, 201115 yr Have you tried the yoghurt drink they sell? Very refreshing. Yes, I did try it once. I like their lentil soup. Tried the chicken kabob (only type) and it was okay...but something missing in the taste...maybe not salted enough or no garlic-mayo sauce Lentil soup, however, is quite good and easy to get some to take home for later eating (B50 a bowl).

They use the traditional yogurt-garlic sauce with enough garlic to keep you stinking until the next day.

Didn't taste any...will have to ask for extra sauce...one can never have too much garlic in anything
May 25, 201115 yr ...one can never have too much garlic in anything Maybe not for you, but your partner may not agree.
May 25, 201115 yr Hm, my parter and I both agree with FarangBuddha on this one, you can never have too much garlic!

(Edit: photos resized) Not so easy to see but the bread does not look authentic or good at all. It looks like store bought pita crap.
May 25, 201115 yr Nope, not store bought. I saw them take it out of the oven. In fact, I was buying one, and even though there were already bread in the basket, they asked me to wait 2 minutes for the fresh bread to come out of the oven. Yummy, I tell you!
May 26, 201115 yr Just one question. How do they keep these Kababs on a skewer with all that salad and stuff? Or are these skewer less Kababs?
