    Your not supposed to put them up your arse.

    Often said to be some of the worst quality 'meat' you can eat.

    Only made nice by huge quantities of salt, seasoning and sauces.

    I'd take a donor heart but not a donor kebab.

    I was starving at the time and fancied something else for a change

    Ah you’ll be grand!

    I love a donor kebab. Wouldn’t eat one on a Monday though. The meat was probably on the spit since Saturday night!

    You can’t beat Iskanders!

    Donor kebabs are manna from the gods. They're savage. I hate the reputation they have as just being good when drunk. This is wrong. Also, I'm not gonna be that fella that says "ah you have to get them from the right authentic Turkish place because all you're getting other wise is muck". I love them from chippers, Zaytoon and even abrakebra. The independent spots are fantastic too.

    Long live doner kebabs.

    Food poisoning me rarely hits within 12hrs, would have to be 100% rancid. Leave the Donner alone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,601 ✭✭✭Hoboo


    Shish Kebab in a naan or pitta or nothing. Most doners don't even contain lamb, its chicken and beef ffs. Entrails offal skin and fat. Lovely.

    Doner kebabs are magnificent. You couldn't bate them with a shtick!

    Had one on Saturday, I want another one now!

    Read a very troubling article last week, claiming the EU wants to ban their sale. Something about the delicious phosphates causing cancer or some other bullshít reason.

    I can see the appeal of brexit all of a sudden.:D

    Was that article in the Daily Mail or Daily Express? - the two most hsyerical sensationalist rags on earth where truth and journalism simply do not exist.

    If you believe the sh1te in those rags you can't have citrus fruits or anything with cirtrus in it (Limonene - naturally occuring), you can't eat minced beef, you can't have house plants in your home, you can't have toast, you can't have bacon and sausage, you can't have sliced meats etc etc etc.

    I wonder what they cancer scare story will be this Januiary (its always January - slow news month)

    As for Doner Kebab - yum yum about once a year.

    I'd never touch a "lamb" kebab. When I'm really drunk I might chance a "chicken" one but always regret it.

    Chips'n'pitta, wahey!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    When you get the ones with that compressed lump of doner meat on a spit like in a chipper or abrakebabra they are crap. When you get the ones with actual pieces of lamb or chicken skewered in layers on the rotating spit, that's where it's at.

    Gerup owra da.

    The kebabs you buy off the turks in germany are full of shredded cabbage and tomatoes and some kinda pickled veg, makes it a reasonably not too unhealthy option.

    Like the kebab meat from Zaytoon but never seen another kebab place selling doners where the meat looked, or even tasted, anywhere near as good.

    Mostly it just looks like some hydrogenated anemic meat substitute.

    Zaytoon's all the way. Only been there once and what a feast it was. I licked the plate clean.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,946 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    The bog standard chip shop version of kebab is dreadful.

    The like of zaytoon or Iskander is tolerable I suppose.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,325 ✭✭✭smileyj1987


    Sounds like a bad case of having the ring of sting


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,946 ✭✭✭✭Beechwoodspark


    Kinda ironic that Abrakebabra seem to point to kebabs as their speciality but they are without doubt one of the worst mank kebabs on sale


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,558 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    When I was living in Germany - there was this Turkish chap who had a little kebab shop on the corner. Never seen a place so impeccably kept. Shining aluminium work surfaces. Sparkling glass everywhere. The lad must have spent hours every day keeping the place clean.

    And then the freshest of salads and vegetables for his kebabs. The meat was the real deal - not that homogeneous lump of congealed crap you'd see in the likes of Abrakebabra.. Spiced by himself.

    Made his own chilli and white sauces as well.

    €5 a kebab with a drink.

    I'd nearly travel back there again just for the kebab.

    It's true. But everything they produce is poison. In fairness I haven't been in there in years, maybe it's improved in the last decade.

    That’s nonsense. Legally a donor kebab must be made of lamb. EU regulations.

    Döner kebabs can be pretty good but donor kebabs are just offal.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    I always thought it was "doner". I see people spelling it as "donner", "donnor" and "donor". A kebab donor would be amazing.

    Seeing that thing in abrakebabra turned me off ever trying one.

    Is it not if the take away has it as lamb on the menu ? If menu states it’s 100% lamb meat them yes it has to be lamb but I think a doner can be a mixture of lamb, beef or chicken but not pork.

    Get a doner done by Pakistani/Indian/Nepalese guys.

    Nice massive big round naan, packed to the hilt and just ****ing amazing.

    The cheapo half-filled pita bread things you get out of Italian chippers aren't worthy of the name.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Bought a Donor Kebab once and the guy dropped it and so I said I wanted another fresh one.

    He threw it on the counter and said "Take her or liver, your choice".


    We're still doing organ donor jokes, right?

    I would've probably taken the liver.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34 Colliewollie


    True, some of the most amazing kebabs I've ever had were in Germany. In the big cities, smallish cities and towns.. Real meat, fresh veg and sauces etc.. Lovely stuff.. Wouldn't even compare them to Abra.. Completely different!

    :D

    Reminds me of a Viz article. "Doner card. Please help yourself to the remainder of my kebab after my death" :D

    A takeaway near where I lived in Sheffield did a meganormous mixed kebab (doner and chicken) rolled in a naan bread, known locally as a "donkey's knob". Huge, and impossible to eat in one session. The thing is, microwaved kebab isn't very appetising on a Saturday morning so the leftovers would be thrown away.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,439 ✭✭✭✭Purple Mountain


    OP was it served up to you by a permatanned gobby young wan with pigtails wearing a 'Gemma' necklace and a belly dancer wobbly midriff?
    Her personal hygiene wouldn't be the best what with always talking with a gob full of food so if this was the place, buckle down for a long session..

    To thine own self be true

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    There's a Turkish place near me that makes amazing kebabs, absolutely huge.
    Another Pakistani owned place can nearly rival it.
    Yummy kebabs,mmmmmm.
