At the top of Nimmanhaemindha Soi 11, where foot traffic runs heavy from mid-morning through to the early hours, a black food truck with German tricolour livery has taken up a permanent position. It belongs to Berlin’s Doner Kebab, and it marks the brand’s first location in Northern Thailand.
The brand launched in 2020 on Sukhumvit 22 in Bangkok, positioning itself as a source of authentic German-style doner kebab in Thailand. The Chiang Mai opening is the 17th branch in the country, a figure that reflects a consistent expansion built on a straightforward proposition: freshly grilled meat, generous portions, and a menu anchored to the Berlin street food tradition.
The food truck format suits the Nimman location well. The soi runs between the hotel strip and the weekend market zone, drawing a mix of residents, visitors, and digital nomads throughout the day. The truck operates daily from 10am to 2am, which covers both the lunch crowd and the late-night window that few comparable options in the area currently serve.
What is on the menu
The menu centres on the doner sandwich, served in a toasted sesame flatbread with grilled meat, shredded cabbage, tomato, cucumber, and onion. Protein options are chicken, beef, and kofte (lamb and beef blend). Portions are priced by weight, from 100g up to 220g, with chicken starting at 199 THB and beef at 239 THB for the smallest serve.
The wrap format uses a grilled tortilla-style flatbread rolled around the same fillings. Chicken wraps are priced at 279 THB, beef at 319 THB. The doner box, a component-style serve with meat, fries, and a chopped salad presented separately in a kraft paper tray, offers a different way into the same ingredients and suits those who prefer their elements unassembled.
Beyond the core doner range, the menu includes currywurst served with fries or rice and a soft drink at 189 THB, feta salad at 199 THB, feta and falafel salad at 259 THB, and nuggets with fries at 199 THB.
Location and ordering
The Nimman Soi 11 branch is available for eat-in, takeaway, and delivery via Grab. The catering operation, which deploys the food truck for private events and functions, is also available to book through the catering page.
