    Chicken Breast Kebab Plate

    Everything 10/10 the food, the costumer service... They even took the time to explain the food and gave us Sumac packets

    Order here

    Delicious food friendly service. We ordered wraps and fries all were delicious. Staff was friendly and helpful, JacobV educated us on the ordering process and gave us suggestions for next time. He and the other staff made an effort to get to know us. There are some tables to eat there but it's kinda small. There was plenty of parking. I will return and order another wrap.

    Right off the back, as we walk in we're greeted with some of the greatest people I've ever met. Scottie and the other chef, let us sample some beverages, and food. Let me just say, the hospitality and flavor is everything. Genuinely felt like we were a part of the family. I can't thank you guys enough for letting us enjoy this restaurant and your warm welcomes. May God bless you guys endlessly.

    I ate here on a Wednesday and from Thursday to Monday, I had an upset stomach. Employee was nice. Small parking lot for the plaza. Might be difficult to find parking on busy times. Food definitely was not fresh. The hummus was very dry for some reason. The rice was also not fresh. On a good note, I lost some weight.

    Okay, I know I'm really late writing this review (life has been busy, but I had to come on here and talk about this place because WOW. My husband and I visited about a month ago, and I can confidently say this was the best shawarma I've ever had and I don't say that lightly. The name of this restaurant truly lives up to the hype. First, let's talk about the customer service. The owner was AMAZING so kind, welcoming, and confident in his food. You can tell he really knows his menu inside and out. He even gave us free fries, which was such a thoughtful gesture, especially since we drove all the way from Irvine. That alone set the tone for the whole experience. Now the food!! We tried three shawarmas: chicken, lamb, and beef. The chicken shawarma was my absolute favorite juicy, perfectly seasoned, and the house sauce?? SO GOOD. Second for me was the **lamb**, which was rich and flavorful. Then the beef, which was still delicious but just slightly behind the others for me. (My husband ranked them differently his favorite was the beef, then chicken, then lamb so honestly, you can't go wrong with any of them.) One thing that really stood out was the bread. He uses fresh lavash, and while you *can* choose other bread, I highly recommend sticking with it. It's soft, fresh, and honestly even better than pita. Also don't skip the drinks! He had this basil mint tea with cinnamon and cloves, and it was incredible. Refreshing, slightly spiced, and tasted super clean and healthy. I literally drank the whole thing immediately. The restaurant itself was very clean, smelled amazing, and we were greeted right away when we walked in. Overall: Customer Service: 10/10 Food Quality: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Hands down the best shawarma in Glendale. My husband and I will 100% be back. If you're thinking about trying it GO. You won't regret it.

    I can't deny, one of the best shawarmas I have had in a while. They do have a lamb shawarma, which is somewhat a rarity these days. I got the Lamb Shawarma Wrap with lavash and it was great. Very classic Armenian style, nothing extra, just the meat, veggies, herbs, and the sauce. They use real charcoal for their grills so I am definitely coming back to try more.

    Love their pork kabob, it's a must !!!!

TLDR: Hear me out, if you have any doubt about chicken being less superior to beef or other meat. TRY the chicken thigh here. It makes justice for chickens (I still need to try their beef or lamb tho) I was running errands in Glendale today and I was starving and looking for lunch spots around. Turns out Mini Kabob was 3 mins walk away, it was a no brainer, my feet just took me there. Didn't expect to go there, so didn't order ahead but I'm fine with waiting. After last time's magnificent chicken thigh, I was determined to try their other entrees. However, Armen said the chicken thigh is the best seller out of their entrees- well, time for a round 2 I guess? This time I'm eating the entree at the spot and I just gotta say- IT SLAPS!! I'm genuinely not a big fan of chicken, because when you can choose beef why chicken? But this chicken is so juicy, so tender, so heavenly. Yummy!! The garlic sauce is great but the hummus and the fresh lavash, h o l y - f. Last time it was already so good even as a leftover, and eating it right at the spot is just transcending. I also tried their Armenian pear soda, it's delicious and refreshing with the heat right now in summer. I left with my tummy happy and their service is always great, they get busy but still no attitude, no bs, gives the right recommendations. Even this is like a take out restaurant, it still surpasses most of the kabob restaurant. Without doubt I'm coming back again after their break, please be there. I love you mini kabob

I always order the combo plates and then order extra order of each meat. The Beef Lule Combo plate - comes with 2 strips of Lule, Rice, seasoned fresh onions slices, grilled tomato and chili pepper Chicken Combo Plate - comes with about five pieces of chicken breast pieces, Rice and same sides. If you order just the meat (not combo), you'll get double the meat and sides. Basically the rice is being replaced with extra meat so if you don't care for rice, definitely get the Non-combo as the price is insanely cheap!! Been ordering from here for almost 30 yrs and they've managed to stay so consistent with their serving size & flavors. Also, their prices are insane! I don't know how they stay in business with such affordable prices. They're definitely doing something right! Highly Highly recommend!

We actually went to another local spot that was closed so we re-routed here because it was the best looking option within 5 minutes of where we were. It's a small, clean shop with a counter to order. It looks like they probably do a lot of take out. They have a nice outdoor patio area. The menu is large with standard shawarma items, but also the flat bread stuff too. We got a lamb shawarma wrap, a chicken shawarma sandwich and a beef bowl along with a couple of lahmajun and a fresh baguette and baklava. Everything was excellent! The lamb was incredible, very tender and flavorful in a nice lavaosh. The chicken had great seasoning and the fresh bread was so good. Both were very large, like almost too much for one person. The bowl had pickles and great flavors. The lahmajun with cheese was my favorite but both were very good. The workers were friendly and helpful. It was our first time so we were asking questions and they were happy to help. We asked for more sauce and a couple things and they were great.

It's a bright, clean, neutral open space that is beautiful and lends itself well for large groups. It's had a recent renovation that added a full bar and beautiful light fixtures. I'm not much of a drinker so I skipped the bar this time and dove right into some appetizers. Hummus, chiblinkis, and dolma to start along with some bread. They serve healthy portions so I knew we ordered too much food but that's ok we live close and took some home before heading to the game. Next up we had the combo plate that had both beef and chicken and we also ordered the Cornish hen. Both entrees come with half a pot of rice it seemed, along with a tomato and an Anaheim chili that were also charred to perfection like the meat. The meats were lovely, perfectly seasonad and kissed by fire, making them juicy and tasty. This is a hearty meal that won't leave you hungry and defies expectations. It's a kebab but it's more, simple, yummy and grilled just right. We ordered one of their alternative rice dishes which had barberries (cherries) it's different but it works! Service was good not great but the meal more than made up for it being a bit sluggish.
