Where else are you eating your kabob? It should be no where but mini kabob, the coziest little kabob shop nestled in the heart of Glendale. The atmosphere of this hole in the wall is amazing. There is not much seating, but if you are dining in, you would be sure to have a nice chat with the owner of mini kabob. It is truly a family run business and it makes me happier to be eating the tastes from someone else's home. I ordered the chicken lule and it is my go to. They also have the most amazing and juicy New Zealand lamb chops. If you are in Glendale, mini kabob is a must try spot and you will keep going back. read more

Mini Kabob - Can't wait ate it already before I can take a pic - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Literally the best Mediterranean food I've ever had. We were greeted warmly and once I ordered, I was lucky enough to get a seat at the community table. They don't really have seating except a picnic table outdoors. The food is so delicious and the hummus is unbelievable. read more

One bite and you'll get why this place has so many fans. How they get so much flavor into their kebabs is a mystery to me. It's garlicky and salty and there seems to be some kind of chili and maybe a hint of citrus? Whatever it is, it's delicious. And while the kebabs are clearly the stars here, the salads are also not to be missed, especially the Shirazi. Really though, it doesn't matter what you get, at Mini Kabob it's all going to be exceptionally good. Enjoy! read more

Mini Kabob is absolutely delicious! The kabobs were juicy and full of flavor, and you can tell everything is made with care! I'll definitely be back! read more

Amazing Lamb chops. Must try! Call before you head over. It takes one hour to get ready. And take cash and avoid card fees read more

When you have a craving for Mini Kabob nothing will do to scratch the Mini Kabob itch. Trust me I had the craving on Monday and since Mini Kabob isn't open on Monday I ordered some kabob from another place. Tuesday and Wednesday went by sad. By Thursday my craving was still lingering so I made the call. One combo, one chicken cutlet, and a side of taboule for my veg quota. Happily picked it up at 4pm and brought it back home and ate dinner super early cuz why wait, I've already waited four days. So much food. Will gladly eat Mini Kabob leftovers tomorrow. Now Friday looks extra amazing. PS It's still cash only. Hope they take cc soon esp w covid. Still felt safe w some hand sanitizer action. They are donating funds to Armenia until further notice. read more

Every time I come to Glendale, I have to make a pit stop at Mini Kabob for their combo plate and eggplant caviar. The portions are extra generous and the meats are always juicy and tender. The best part is Armen and his welcoming demeanor along with his family. I feel like we're good friends every time he says "hello" and has my order ready. Thank you Armen for always providing delicious food and great service! Parking is very limited, so it's best to order online through their website and pick up. If it's your first time here, get the combo plate. You'll thank me later. read more

I thought the beef luleh kabob was well cooked, but it tastes decent and lacked flavor. The plates are pricey for what you get at $26. It is $10 bucks too expensive IMO and really worth $16 at max considering their beef is cooked in pork fat. Hummus didn't have much flavor. A burnt tomato and jalapeño also included which did nothing. The carbs were the best part: the pita and the rice were nice, light and fluffy. Otherwise, wouldn't return. One time stop for me! read more

I can say I had an amazing experience it was warm and welcoming and their dedication to supreme service made the experience unforgettable. It felt like a family backyard gathering where everyone was invited. The food was something extraordinary, each bite delivered an explosion of flavor that hit my palate and left me wanting more. I highly recommend to come and visit Mini Kabob and try it for yourself. Super Delicious! read more

Mini Kabob - Armenian Near Me - Glendale, California

Very much a hole-in-the-wall type of place. Ordered a family platter for takeout. They give quite a bit, but it's also not inexpensive ($125). Probably can easily feed six adults, though. The chicken tasted great - well spiced and super juicy, even as leftovers the next day. Our kids really liked the steak as well. The pita's a bit different from other places in that it's pretty thin but still good. Service is pretty friendly. Very glad that this was recommended to us. read more

Yep the buzz is real, the food is amazing. It took us a few weeks to be able to place an order. Sometimes either the wait time was too long or they were not taken orders or ran out of certain things. But we were able to place an order for dinner tonight and it was so good! We had a falafel plate. The falafels are huge and delicious, well seasoned and not greasy at all. We also had the chicken and the beef lule kabob. The meats were nicely seasoned. The chicken plates come with lavash, rice, hummus, roasted tomato, onion and roasted jalapeños. Everything was great and worth the wait. read more

This place is amazing. By far the best mediterranean food I've tried. Great service every time I visit and always welcoming. Highly highly recommend their chicken thigh, I don't know what they do with it but it's unforgettable. The price is there but the portion size will speak for the price, can easily share with another person. The outside and the parking might be an issue for many of you but you can just drive a few blocks down and you'll find a parking space with shades. read more

Tasty and healthy. This is the spot that worth going to for a quick hang out! The best chicken kabobs in LA imo! Don't forget to bring cash! The owners offer great service. They've been in business for years so I love supporting! read more

Service great - called ahead and food was ready on time. Unfortunately, the kebab plates were very pricey and quality was not worth all the hype. I really wish it was because the people working there were friendly and professional. read more

Armen and the Mini Kabob team are true Gems of the LA food scene. Unfortunately we are living in a time and place where operation costs for small businesses are insanely high. If you want to eat at mini kabob all you have to do is plan ahead. I love to support small businesses like mini kabob because they have a soul. read more

Mini Kabob has the best Mediterranean food, period! We had a birthday celebration, and Armen recommended a "family style" order of the various meats (lamb chops, chicken thighs, beef lule). They were all delicious!!! Thank you, Armen, for the suggestions. We also got the eggplant caviar, hummus, rice and lavash. Oh, and the garlic sauce too. Yum!! Wish you could open up a location in Orange County. :-) read more

This is the absolute BEST kabob in town! The owner of this place is an amazing guy too. Mini Kabob is a hidden gem on a side street in Glendale. Curbside pick up has always been pretty easy for us. We can't recommend this place enough! read more

I can wholeheartedly say that this is the best kabob restaurant in LA. I come here every time I'm in the Glendale area and it has never missed. The chicken and beef lule kabobs are the best I've ever had. The meat is so tender and juicy and when paired with the buttered rice and roasted tomato it is simply a perfect meal. It's a small hole in the wall joint right next to a residential neighborhood and run by a very friendly family. One of my favorite restaurants in LA. Cash only. read more

A bit pricey for a small homey place. The food is delicious and portions are generous. It adds up quickly though. Seasoning and marinations are different than what I'm used to tasting. I guess it's a creative fusion of Egyptian and Armenian flavors. It is worth the trek. read more

Mini Kabob is a favorite of mine. I love Armenian food and I can tell you that you'd have a difficult time finding better around here. The food is fantastic. If I could change anything, I'd have them slice their onions more finely. FOOD Chicken - it's even better than it looks. Tender, juicy, flavorful Ground Beef - tender, juicy and flavorful as well. Rice - it looks like normal plain rice, especially in photos. This rice is actually really good. I'd describe it as buttery. SERVICE Super nice and accommodating. PARKING Street (free but limited availability) read more

Food: Today was our first time trying Armenian food, and Mini Kabob makes "bomb.com" Armenian food!!! We ordered the most popular plate, the Combination Plate, which includes chicken lule, pork tenderloin, and chicken thigh. Aside from well-seasoned meat, we enjoyed the basmati rice and hummus! The green pepper was a bit spicy! Parking/ Wait Time: We found street parking easily near the residential housing as well as the 30 minute parking right in front of the restaurant shop! There is ample parking all around. Our wait time was one hour, and we just stopped by Porto's Deli and Cafe to get a quick snack while we waited. We came back 10 minutes early and our food was ready! I would call and order ahead next time! Overall, we'll be back for more Armenian Food! read more

All I can say is wow, the food here is truly amazing! I ordered online and when I arrived to pick it up it was ready to go. Despite being busy the staff were friendly and sincerely thanked me for my business. The Lule Kabob plate was so juicy and tender and the hummus and garlic sauce were incredible. The quality was beyond compare and I am now forever spoiled. Can't wait to return and try more! read more

I love Middle Eastern food and Mini Kabob is my favorite place to get it. The fluffy rice, the amazing garlic sauce, the well seasoned hummus, the light lavash bread and juicy chicken thighs - all components of a well tasting Middle Eastern meal is there. Portions are extremely generous and service is super friendly. I've tried their regular combo (chicken + pork), beef & chicken combo and their lamb chops. I like their beef and chicken combo the best! Know before you go: - Cash only if you do a phone/in person order but if you order online ($25 min order) = can use credit card. The food does take awhile so would definitely phone in/order online to cut down on wait time. - No indoor/outdoor dining. To go place only. - Parking is a nightmare! What I usually do is park at Glendale Galleria and walk over to pick up my order. And then I find a random bench around the galleria to eat it (or you can eat it in their food court). I usually stop by post hiking at Griffith Park and usually starving so I'm impatient to get into my food right away read more

I have been waiting for the opportunity to try this place! Family came into town and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to try. We ordered the beef lule kabob, falafel plate, chicken cutlet plate, and beef shish kabob plate. Everything was nothing short of fantastic. All of the meats were bursting with flavor. Chicken cutlet and falafel were not greasy or dry. My family from Costa Rica was blown away by the flavors in each dish. The owner was super nice and happy to answer any questions that we had. I've seen a few complaints about price, but everything is pricey these days and this food falls into the category of things that are actually worth the price. Definitely falls under the category of hole in the wall hidden gem. Phenomenal. read more

Ambiance: Casual Service: Quick! This is a small eatery so parties larger than 4 would be tough to seat. It's a great spot for lunch or take out! I was short on time so I called them to put an order in to save time. By the time I got there the order was ready for pickup (It took me tops 20 mins). Food: One of my top kebab places in Glendale. First off- both the chicken and beef are tender and juicy with great BBQ char marks (Yum). The rice was cooked well (not mushy or undercooked). For $22 Parking: Residential/ Street DO NOT park in the plaza nearby- they will tow your car. Also, it is CASH ONLY, so come prepared! read more

The HYPE is real. Not only is the food absolutely fantastic, but the owner Armen is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He takes the time to guide you through the menu and will make suggestions based on your preference. By the way, everything on the menu is good. You literally cannot go wrong with a single thing. I get the combo plate with the Shiraz salad. The meat is always seasoned to perfection and juicy. The rice is cooked to perfection and the humus is out of this world. The pictures are of the chicken plate half rice/ half salad and the falafel plate. I just moved to LA and it is already one of my favorite restaurants that I frequent at least once a week. Next time I go I'll update this post with pictures, but trust me. Just go and find out for yourself how delicious this food really is. read more

You really don't need my review. There's a reason it's in the LA Times top 101 restaurants in Los Angeles. Quality and taste is amazing. Food is cooked to order, service is friendly. It's primarily a take-out restaurant with some tables & chairs on the sidewalk. CASH ONLY!! read more

Great great food Nothing but tasty food It was worth it the waiting The owner was cool Also his workers were cool too read more

Excellent kabobs, probably the best I've had in LA in the 5 years I've lived here. It's located in the middle of a residential area, and I had heard about it from so many people so I had to finally try it. I got the beef and chicken combo plate, and the meat was very tender and full of flavor. There isn't really a place to sit down and dine unless you want to sit at the one table out front, it seems like more of a takeout spot. The staff is INCREDIBLY friendly. A true " your friendly neighborhood" type of feel. I really appreciated that. I will add that they are very popular, so I would recommend calling in your order in advance for pickup to save yourself what could be a 1-2 hour wait. Much easier to then just go pick it up when it's ready. read more
