jimmybkk Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 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.

tropo Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

barryofthailand Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) 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.

dean999 Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattEarp Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) 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.)

IMA_FARANG Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Having worked for almost 4 years in Turkey...I can assure that the Donner Kebab(s) did not originate in Greece. Edited May 24, 2011 by IMA_FARANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarangBuddha Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WyattEarp Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 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!
