"Mini Kabob is a family-run institution located in the geographic heart of Glendale, a city that’s home to the one of largest Armenian immigrant communities in the world. Yes, the grilled kebabs at this takeout spot are excellent and the friendly mom-and-pop owners are an attraction unto themselves, but a meal here is also an excuse to go wild at the various Armenian markets and bakeries in the surrounding blocks. Our usual order is the combo plate, which comes with a ground chicken lule plus two shish kebabs, plus roasted jalapeños and tomatoes, hummus, raw onions with parsley (crucial), warm lavash bread, and rice. Better throw on some eggplant caviar and a tarragon soda, too. " - Brant Cox, Arden Shore, Nikko Duren, Garrett Snyder, Sylvio Martins
