Market Village Donor Kebabs - Which is who?

Post by Homer »

I've lost track. There have been at least 2 vendors in 5 different places at the 2 MV food courts. The original vendors had a stand near the cash card counter in the original food court. Are they still in business? If so, where?

Had a kebab on the basement food court at MV about 2 days ago it was located towards the western side of the food court (near to motorcycle parking exit) if I remember correctly there is also one at the Tesco lotus food court on the left hand side of the dining area when entering from the main mall area. Quality?? Well a bit different to the ones from your local kebab shop I'm Australia.

Looks like I wasn't clear. All I want to know is if the vendor who had the first MV donor kebab stand still has one. If so, which one is it.

The one near the cash desk outside Tesco moved to the far corner of the food court but has since closed down. The only one around now is the one near the exit to the m/cycle park but I'm not sure if it's the same woman who owns it. If it is she certainly doesn't appear at the counter any more.

I've just been told that there's one back near the cash counter (where it was originally) but it's only hearsay. Haven't checked it out myself.

Yes, there is definitely a 2nd vendor there now.

[Edit] I'm fairly sure the original vendor sold up, just before it moved to the corner spot in Market Village.

You're right BB. The original was sold and Tesco Lotus then forced the new owner to use the card system and not cash. i understand Tesco Lotus take about 20% from the cards when used with their vendors,
My understanding is the new owner was not too happy about the situation having been forced to stop taking cash only and having to then move into one of the units.

Sounds like there are several choices now. Mrs D-M used to treat me occasionally (with a kebab) on her visits to MV. For those with a more sophisticated appreciation of this delicacy than bsdk, which is the best? :D

I thought he sold up before it moved to the corner of the first floor food court. I also thought I'd read somewhere (on here?) that the new owner moved downstairs so that he could get cash customers instead of cash card customers, with Tesco claiming their %.

The original vendor was a Turkish guy. He sold out and moved to BKK. BUT--Tesco moved the new owner from the prime position near the ticket booth to the far corner, So the owner moved downstairs. NOWa new one has appeared with a stall very close to the old site and it is a cash site and they use the word Turkish but I do not think that there is any turkish connection. So there are 2 options one upstairs and one down. I have tried the upstairs one and it is very similar to the original. Pretty healthy lunch, big salad and chicken. go easy on the Mayo!

The one in the basement is Alex Isin, the original Turk from upstairs. Call him and confirm if you wish. 0874141015.

If I remember correctly, when he first moved from upstairs, someone posted on this forum that he stuck a note on his stall saying he had moved to the basement.
