What a hidden gem! Tucked away on small side street in Glendale you'll find a tiny family run, 7 seat, Armenian food spot. And let me tell you: it's some of the best home cooked Armenian food you'll have in LA. If you're lucky, you'll score a seat otherwise, you can always take it to go. It may get a bit smokey in there since the dining area is basically part of the kitchen, but the homey atmosphere and family hospitality make up for it all. Not to mention anything you order will be a home run. You're gonna have to try it for yourself but this is 5 stars for me. Mic drop* read more

I absolutely love and adore this little hole in a wall. They owners are courteous and friendly and the food is amazing! If you come here on a good time you might be able to snag a seat since they only have 3 tables or come and order to go. The menu is small but that's okay. Expect to order more of their flavorful garlic white sauce. read more

Mini Kabob - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

The restaurant is small and easy to miss. Double check to make sure your gps is routing you to the correct location. There might be some issues as the yelp directions might be taking you somewhere else down the block (not sure if it's fixed now.) I tried the combo plate here. Food was delicious, very flavorful and juicy. It comes with couple pieces of lavash, hummus, and this garlic cream spread. Awesome and friendly service. I really enjoyed my meal here and would come again. read more

Mini Kabob - Half eaten falafel with their aioli sauce - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Best I've had. Owner extremely nice. My new regular to go place. Quick service. A real treasure.

Wow, this place is amazing. Small, hole-in-the-wall joint that looks a bit rundown if you're just passing by but amazing food served by a family-run business. I found out that its been around for 30+ years and the son has taken over since his parents first started running the place. They have been featured in food magazines and is well-known within the food community. It's a small place with no AC so great place to order ahead and togo. My friend and I ordered the beef and chicken combo as well as the shirazi salad. The owner was very helpful in helping us decide our order and wow, by far the best Mediterranean food I have ever had. The chicken and beef were cooked to perfection, super tender, juicy, and literally melting in my mouth. The salad had a great balance of citrus and savory. Great add-on to this meal that gave a refreshing taste. Everything to the rice, the cooked tomatoes and pepper, and the tahini sauce was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! The peppers are a bit spicy so warning to those who are not too great with spiciness. One bite into the pepper and the spiciness lingers with you in your mouth. I would definitely come back again and recommend to everyone! read more

Simply amazing!! I've been eating a lot of kabob lately and this place is #1 on Glendale yelp page. I honestly was disappointed when I saw the place. There was virtually no place to park. We got lucky and got a parking right in front of the restaurant. Mini kabob is a mini restaurant with 3 tables and 8 chairs. The kitchen is located right next to the dining area so you can see the action and smell the food while it's being cooked. Ordered beef shish kabob and chicken shish kabob. Beef shish kabob ($12.99): The beef is tender, tasty and charred. It's the best shish kabob I've ever tried. Chicken shish kabob ($9.39): You have the option of either dark or white meat. My dark meat chicken is juicy, flavorful and charred. I don't know if I like the beef more than the chicken because both of them are fantastic. Foodgasm :-)~ You also get lavash bread in a basket wrapped in clear plastic. It comes with super garlicky hummus. The chicken comes with garlic sauce-similar to Zankou garlic sauce but not as thick. The service is great. The sweet lady asked me if I was cold, reminded me to cover the bread so it wouldn't get dry and thanked me for waiting. The husband asked if everything was okay. They were so adorable and I saw both of them smiling and peeking from the kitchen while watching the customers eat. I've decided to adopt them as my Armenian grandparents but they don't know it yet =P They'll realize it later on when I start visiting their kitchen more often. I went back for its white meat chicken and beef luleh and I didn't really care for them. 5 stars!! Best kabob I've ever had. Other fancy kabob places got nothing on this hole in the wall mom & pop tiny place. Mini Kabob won my heart. Mini Kabob is yummylicious!! read more

The best food and the best people. I don't think I've had anything on this menu that was not delicious. My personal favorite is the chicken cutlet - it's like an Armenian tsukune. Give it a try next time! read more

My excuses for taking forever in trying out this place: 1. Just another hyped up place. 2. It's too far (21 miles one way). 3. Traffic sucks driving to and from there. 4. I seldom crave for Mediterranean food. Well, I finally decided to go thanks to the pics that keep popping up on my IG feed one Saturday afternoon. It's street parking folks, so grab a spot once you see it. And the place is really small. I mean I read so many times how small it was but I was still taken by surprise when I went in. Owners are very nice. They take time to interact with the clientele. That's a lost art nowadays. And the food? I almost cried when I bit into the falafel. And not just because I was so hungry. It was amazing. Mind blowing. So good by itself. No dips needed. And the salad was a beauty by itself, as well. I also tried their all meat combo and even tho it was good, the vegetarian platter definitely stole my heart. And stomach. I will be back. I will make up excuses why I have to be in Glendale. Or just go there for Mini Kabob. The latter sounds good. read more

Mini Kabob - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Hands down the best kebab in Glendale. Yes yes raffis is pretty good, but this is the shit right here. I could eat here every day and have honestly thought about it. After my first time I legit dreamed about it a few nights later. The owner is the biggest homie and extremely friendly. Couldn't recommend this spot more. read more

Best kabobs I have ever had. Could be the meat? Could be the seasoning? No matter what, I like the food and the service. The location is not the best because it is small and limited with seating. Good place for take-out. Parking is street in busy residential area. The food is quality is cooked to perfection. Not good for big groups. If you do come in a big group, come early so you can take all the chairs/tables. There is a tiny tv if you come alone. You can order online or delivery some days. A little pricey, but kabobs are always a little more. Quality speaks for itself. read more

After visiting a Los Feliz Mediterranean joint and finding the chicken to be not so flavorful, it brought to mind this place because the chicken here is quite flavorful and quite delicious and I've been meaning to review it so here it is finally. I met up with fellow Yelper Nathan W. We had been planning to grab a bite in this area and he suggested this place. Being the Mediterranean aficionado that I am, I readily agreed with his choice. Mini Kabob is a little hole in the wall in Glendale which definitely is named correctly because the place is extremely tiny. It was voted Best Hole-in-the-Wall in Los Angeles by L.A. Weekly and it definitely deserves that accolade. Upon first walking in, you wouldn't think much of the eatery with its cramped quarters but they managed to fit three small tables inside. You practically order over one of the tables with their seated patrons which is kind of hilarious. I ended up ordering the chicken kabob plate with a mix of dark and white meat the same as Nathan. I asked if I could have a double portion of salad to replace the rice portion and they said that would be okay except they would have to charge me a little extra. Really? Most places wouldn't charge extra but well, fine. We are all unique in our own way, aren't we. As I was ordering, I saw the "mom" of this mom and pop busily roasting the kabob skewers over a flaming pit. No sautéed meat at this place. Nathan and I were fortunately able to nab a table and as we waited, pita bread and hummus were placed before us by the "pop" of this mom and pop. The hummus was extremely creamy and quite good actually. I wasn't supposed to have this but it was too good to resist. http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=LOE8_yQ63dhEC8YJmtjd0Q&userid=muK3bAO2dRwP79SBnppQ5g I was really anticipating my chicken plate because the aroma of the spices just filled the air. When it finally arrived, it looked and smelled absolutely delicious http://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=t7Kty2Eao-_ZS5bG6OaHZQ&userid=muK3bAO2dRwP79SBnppQ5g The chicken was tender and juicy having come fresh off the grill. The spices they used were outstanding as the chicken was very flavorful. However, I was missing the roasted tomato and jalapeno I suppose because I ordered the extra salad. That was a bummer. Regardless, my meal was thoroughly enjoyable and I had a great time. If you're looking for a good Medterranean joint, I'd recommend stopping in here. The mom and pop are Armenian and pop is very outgoing and friendly, chatting away with you while you wait. You may have to take the food to go, but it's definitely worth trying this place. I look forward to coming back here again in the near future because Mini Kabob does Mediterranean right. read more

Gloryhole in the wall for less than $10!? Wait, WHAT!? No wait, I meant glorious hole in the wall lunch for less than $10. Gloryholes are free....I've heard....from people....on the internet. PORK KABOB PLATE http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mini-kabob-glendale?select=4t59oshIiq49ERSIYn7svw#4t59oshIiq49ERSIYn7svw Sometimes it's all about the food. Big, badass cubes of perfectly spiced and cooked pork. A nice pile of rice, some onions and cilantro. I'm pretty sure there was a whole roasted tomato and a jalapeno along with some amazing hummus and plenty of lavash bread. I left completely satisfied and couldn't even think about stuffing anything else in my mouth. Yeah, that's what the dude on the other side of the gloryhole said. Why am I allowed to keep writing yelp reviews? read more

The first and best Armenian feast I've ever had! Mini Kabob is a hole in the wall located behind the plaza with Poke N Roll and a ramen spot. There are only two tables inside, and the rest of the place consists of the kitchen. Upon walking in, it felt very homely as the owners were extremely friendly and welcoming. My friends and I decided to order the combo plate with one of each meat, and it came with hummus, garlic cream, eggplant caviar, tabouleh, and lavash. The food was made to order and came out within 10/15 minutes. The spread was GORGEOUS, and everything tasted even better!! We got steak, chicken thigh, chicken breast, pork, and chicken lule (ground chicken). The chicken thigh was my personal favorite as it was extremely succulent and tender, but all the other meats were just as amazing. Everything was grilled right, and the side toppings were off the hook! I used the lavash (similar to pita bread but thinner) to spread hummus, garlic cream, eggplant caviar, tabouleh (similar to salad), and a piece of meat. There was even rice to pair with the meat, and I literally destroyed everything in minutes. Talking about my meal here is making me super hungry right now, so I will stop here. They also have an armenian pear soda straight from Armenia that reminded me of apple cider but better- I would recommend ordering that to drink with your meal. I am SO impressed with the food that is offered here, and with the welcoming and friendly owners, Mini Kabob is truly a hidden gem of Glendale! They seem to specialize in catering as well, but I'm definitely going back here for lunch during my work break! read more

What makes Mini kabob amazing is not just its food, but the also the owner. We arrived 25 minutes before closing not knowing that the last to-go order was to be given by 7:30PM. But the pop declared, "you're new, I'll do you a favor, you'll be very happy!" He was direct with us and went straight to work on our 5 orders of the Mini Kabob plate with his wife. He push together two tables in the tiny hole in the wall restaurant and insisted that we get comfortable. We were very awkward since we felt like we were inconveniencing them. They looked tired and it was closing time. We asked him to prepare the orders to-go so that he could close shop and go home. He was grateful. As we left, he handed us pear cider and water "from the mountains" to dilute the sugary drink. It was a wonderful "welcome to my store" gift that I thought was very valuable. As we left, we agreed that it felt like we were at our friends' house in the presence of their parents/grandparents preparing us food... even though they were tired from a long day of work, they wanted to make sure we enjoyed our meal. It was humbling. This man has such a big heart. He is the type of person that would invite you into his home if it's pouring rain and you have no where to go. He will also feed you delicious hummus, flavorful rice, perfectly grilled tomatoes and amazingly flavored meats on skewers. I must return to try the other meats. I felt a bit rushed since I wanted to place my order quickly during this trip. But next time we'll do it right and he'll probably remember our faces. He's the type to remember all of his customers names and birthdays. read more

tl;dr: Best HITW kabobs in Glendale. Get the beef or chicken (light or dark meat) kabobs; trust. Includes housemade hummus and lavash, garlic sauce (a la Zankou) if you ordered chicken. Super tiny setup; maybe better to call ahead and take to go... **** When I'm in Glendale and I'm in the mood for kabobs, I think of Mini Kabob first. Owned by Ovakim and Alvard Martirosyan, they really bring the mom-n-pop image to this tiny HITW, but there's no denying the taste and care they put into the food. The Beef and Chicken Kabobs are expertly prepared, browned with the perfect amount of sear and yet juicy and flavorful. Served with fluffy jasmine rice I like the additional roasted tomato that accompanies the plate (I found out how potent the roasted chili pepper was). Didn't care as much for the eponymous named Mini Kabob plate which has the ground meat luleh I believe... The hummus that accompanied our dishes is coarse but creamy and is topped with olive oil and aleppo pepper. A small basket of lavash was provided. Because I ordered the chicken kabobs, a small dish of garlic sauce was also provided... I've had the Armenian Pear soda a couple of times now and thought it was refreshing, it's not as carbonated as I imagined like ginger-ale. Wifey tried the yogurt drink and remarked that it reminded her of a probiotic milk... Ovakim is the front-man of the duo. He likes to come out and interact with customers, sometimes making recommendations in a good natured way. I believe the couple to be very nice like everyone here says, but if you catch them with the wrong question and get an obfuscated response he can be like the Soup Nazi with his stern stance; such was the exchange during one of our visits when we asked what was a "Mini?" https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mini-kabob-glendale?select=BkeEphvmYzlbdCK9KrRLlw Cash only which has only become more of a hassle as prices have crept up over time. Parking in the area is lousy but the curb is painted green in front of Mini Kabob which makes take outs particularly convenient. I'm willing to overlook all of the minor misgivings because the kabobs are so delicious. 4.5 stars... read more

Mini Kabob has been on my Yelp bookmark for almost 4 years. I was in no rush to try it out considering that my quota for awesome Armenian/Persian delights had been filled 6 years earlier by Raffi's Place. Looks like a spot just opened up! Everything you've read and heard is true! This tiny hole in the wall, with a whopping 3 tables, serves up some of the tastiest, most satisfying food I've had in a very long time. I know this is cliche, but it tastes homemade. Everything on my beef and chicken lula combination plate was infused with flavor, freshness and, quite possibly, love. This little eatery is owned by Hovik and Ala, a husband-wife team who greet every customer like a son or daughter. Hovik tends to the front house duties like offering suggestions, bringing drinks and changing the channel to more appropriate TV fare for diners. Noticing our youthful appearance, he quickly switched from a Russian Armenian soap opera to MTV's "Pauly D Project." Sh'norhakal em, but we would have preferred the Russian movie. While Hovik chats up the customers, Ala's preparing magical hummus. I know what you're thinking. Hummus is hummus, right? Wrong! The hummus here is amazing and delightfully different in texture and flavor. Again, no other way to say this, but the hummus was like crack and I was hooked. I could have made a meal out of this magic dip and the warm and fluffy lavash bread. Now to the really good stuff: the meat. Hovik pumped up the chicken lula, which was really good, but the beef was the star. Juicy, meaty and full of flavor. The only thing I'd complain about is that there weren't 3 more skewers on my plate to devour. Special shout out to Gazoz's pear soda. It's like apple cider, but so much better. When we left, Ala gave us more candy than we could eat, Hovik reminded us to never trust a skinny chef (strangers), smiles and waves goodbye that reminded us of visiting with our grandparents. It was so comfortable at Mini Kabob you might just catch me in my jammies and fuzzy slippers next time. read more

Don't get me wrong. I loveeee their food. Made an online order through here on yelp fulfilled by grub hub. Made an order around 1pm and that it would b ready around 1:50. No problem. So my boyfriend and I made the drive (about an hour) around the USC area to Glendale. (U know how bad the traffic is on the 110 to the 5) I get to the restaurant go in and the lady quickly said it wasn't ready without me telling her what I was waiting for. I'm like Okay. I assumed she was talking about my order. I waited around 15 min just to not pressure her. I went in said online order. Then they lady and gentleman said "NO! We cancelled order. Grub hub is stupid ..We don't do online orders on the weekend" then they started arguing against each other and yeah... But I got charged. They didn't reject the order so what's up??? Why was I able to order online. ?And have an estimated time to pick it up ? Thing is I was willing to make an order with them right there and then. They said no orders. Because they had a HUGE order they were working on. ( like for a party) How can they just dismiss any other smaller orders just to accommodate for the larger orders. Just didn't seem fair :-( I was soooo ECSTATIC to get mini kabob just to b disappointed While waiting on the phone with grub hub another couple pulled up went in and were told they couldn't get their orders either Overheard them saying they drove such a long way just to get rejected too... and had the same disappointed faces as we did. :-/ They should really have the hours changed or something put on here on yelp to not have ppl drive such a long way just to get rejected. read more

The best falafel I've ever had. You can tell from the quality of the falafel it is homemade. It was not dry at all and had so much flavor. You could see the fresh herbs wishing the falafel. Next time I would get additional garlic sauce as it was so good I wished I had more to go with the Falafel. The guy that was working was extremely nice and personable. The hummus was also very tasty, did not taste too salty as some often so and it was extremely creamy and fresh. Will definitely be returning, just make sure to order early as the wait on weekends can get long. Highly recommend. read more

This restaurant is definitely difficult to find, but once you locate it you will not be disappointed. FYI: The address is actually 313 1/2 Vine Street (that 1/2 part is actually important), so when you see a mini plaza drive past it and it's the first building on the right side. On my visit I ordered the eggplant caviar (amazing side dish) and a beef leluh plate, which came with hummus, rice, beef, and grilled veggies. The price is very reasonable (approx $13 for a plate) and now that I know where it is I'll definitely be a frequent visitor. P.S. They prefer customers to call in to place their order, which is great since they make everything to order. read more

The Chicken kabob and the chicken luleh were fabulous. I don't rave about chicken very often, so I have to make this exception. The rice was very tasty. Roasted tomato and jalapeno went very well with the meal. The pork kabob was a bit dry and dense, so it wasn't a favorite. The hummus and lavosh that they bring out before your meal is heavenly. Wow, this is really a great place to eat. Spend a little more, but you cannot be disappointed with the tastes of the chicken dishes. Please help yourself - order by phone ahead of time. Waiting for your food can be avoided. It is just mom and pop for the last 15 years cooking up a storm. The old man, Ovakim, is a fun guy to chat with. He will join you at your table - it is his place. read more

This is an absolute gem! It was literally run by a mom and pop. We felt like we were in their living room while they served us food. They hung out with us, watched some Pawn Stars, and had a great experience. The food is another level than what I've had elsewhere. I don't know if I will be able to eat tabouleh anywhere else any more- it was THAT good. The hummus was outstanding and the kebobs were perfect in every way. The combination between the experience and the food makes this one of the best spots I've been to in LA. Just loved it! read more

Ok so as I sit here at the mall I can't think of a better way to pass the time then writing a review for the hidden gem they call Mini Kebab. Ok so my boy Hector tells me this is the best Kebob Glendale has to offer well those were not his words verbatim, but he definitely recommended it so today was the day I decided to drive out to this joint. When I arrived I was greeted by the owner they call King. Wow the energy and sincerity this man exudes is amazing! Just for that and his hospitality alone I'm gonna be a customer for life! That said lets talk about the food ladies and gentlemen. I had the pork kebab My girl had the chicken with a side of tabouli and cucumber yogurt all very fresh and tasty! The chicken was the star of the meal great marinade, and everything is charred to perfection just the way I like it! There was nothing wrong at all with my entire meal I must say it was a complete success and for that I must give props to My boy Hector thanks for the recommendation brother! A solid five stars for the King! read more

Hearing about my buddies rave about how much they love this place, I had to make my journey to mini kabob Initially difficult to find, it is in a quiet street across from a european automotive repair shop. There is a foldable sign in the front of the restaurant that says "abierto/open" to help you locate the restaurant. The restaurant is very intimate in which the dining area was approximately 150 sq. ft. Choosing to eat inside, the restaurant owners casual greeted us. The gentlemen complimenting my beautiful partner and ensuring a quality dining experience at his restaurant. A buddy of mine had recommended the chicken breast which to their experience was indescribably juicy and succulent; however, we opted for the combination plate instead. While waiting we were given complimentary lavash accompanied by hummus that was absolutely smooth and packed with so much garlic (i'm a huge garlic fan). Combination plate: Came with three kinds of meat (chicken thigh/breast kabob, a ground chicken kabob, and pork kabob). All three dishes were succulent, packed with so man hidden flavors and juicy beyond imagination. I really was caught off guard and had to tell my friend how i never should have doubted him about this place. The plate was served with a garlic purée that was an excellent compliment with the chicken and had a very nice citrus note to it as well. During our experience my lady had brought out waters for us to drink and was quickly reprimanded by the owner on how unethical it was to bring waters to a restaurant. This went on for about 5 minutes and honestly made me uncomfortable but I then ordered a cider that was quite refreshing. Overall the food alone is enough to come out to glendale for the food. We won't be bringing in beverages next time lol read more

Mini Kabob - Combination plate. So delish so tasty so kabob - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Freaking ridiculous, the cook and everybody that works there is super friendly! The food is amazing, awesome place! We went to Mini Kabob pretty early, and while we were waiting for our food, the cook gave us a sample of their homemade garlic sauce that was freshly made that morning with some Lavash, the garlic sauce was absolutely amazing, words cannot describe the taste of this sauce, you MUST get some of this when you decide to eat at Mini Kabob. I got the combo, it comes with lavash, rice, lule, chicken, pork, hummus (sex), grilled tomato and pepper, everything was perfectly seasoned, and everything tasted amazing. It feels good to eat here, because you really get your moneys worth. Ever since I ate here, I don't think I can go to any other Kabob restaurants....this place tops them all. Rice is plentiful, the lule, chicken, and pork was cooked to perfection, the hummus...oh man...the HUMMUS! Again, words can't describe what I'm feeling right now as I write this review... If you're in the Glendale/Los Angeles area, and want some bomb Kabob, you MUST visit this place, don't let the interior fool you, judge with your mouth! (Don't forget to try their garlic sauce!!!) read more

Mini Kabob - Combo! - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Literally THE BEST TASTING KABOB IN GLENDALE, possibly ANYWHERE; Hands down. I am so lucky as a native of Glendale to be able to experience delicious, authentic Armenian food. I myself am not Armenian, but the food is incredible. I've had kabob in other cities and it just doesn't compare. With all of the amazing Armenian restaurants we have in Glendale, I have to honestly say Mini Kabob beats them all out for their kabobs. They are so flavorful and the meat is always perfectly tender. The hummus is out of this world and the lavash is delicious. On top of that, the family that owns it is so kind and tight knit. It feels so good to support a small family owned business. This restaurant is small, but mighty in so many ways. Please, if you live in Glendale or are just visiting, make sure to try Mini Kabob. You will never want to have kabob from anywhere else again. read more

Honestly the best kabob place around. My favorite is the chicken thighs but can't go wrong with anything you pick. I'd also highly recommend the eggplant caviar. I can't wait to be able to dine here once again. You're treated like family by Armen and his parents. Cannot recommend this place enough read more

I found this place through Instagram because the food looked amazing, and it definitely didn't disappoint! If my Armenian dad (who is usually critical) liked it, then you know the food is good lol The service was extremely kind and hospitable and made us feel comfortable! We ordered Chicken Lula that came with rice, hummus, lavash, and grilled tomatoes and jalapeños, as well as a greek salad which came out to be great as well. The meat was super juicy and flavorful. I'm usually picky with what Armenian food I get but if anyone gets an opportunity, come try out this place! You won't be disappointed read more

Mini Kebab is amazing. Best I've had in LA County so far. Recommend you get there early in the day. Order by phone they cannot keep up with the demand. I like that. I don't want them to grow makes it special when you are fortunate to get a plate. To Go only. Love that the hummus is made by his mother with her own recipe read more

If you drive too fast (like many in Glendale do), you will miss this spot. It is very small and only has a couple of small tables, so ordering to pick up is a better option if you have a big group. We were greeted by an older gentleman who was very helpful and funny to boot! He took our order (mini kabob plate and the beef shish kabob plate). He also asked... "What would you like to drink... good or bad?" So of course we replied good. He brought out some very delicious pear flavored carbonated drink from Armenia. Then, he brought out lavash and some of the most delicious hummus I have tasted! I could hardly wait for the main dishes to come out! When they did... oh boy! My beef was perfectly cooked and the parsley and onions elevated the flavor! Hell... the rice, the grilled tomato and the chili pepper (watch out... it was HOT!) were all delicious! I did try the mini kabobs as well... and the flavor was... YUM! Oh...did I mention we tried some of the garlic dip (usually comes with chicken) and that was... well you know. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! read more
