Mini Kabob

"With only one small table out front, takeout is the best (and often only) way to enjoy the excellent flame-kissed kebabs from Mini Kabob. Operated by two generations of the Martirosyan family, Mini Kabob offers a slate of Armenian kebabs served with rice, hummus, blackened tomatoes, garlic sauce, and lavash. Place an order ahead of time since there can often be a wait. If there’s somehow leftover garlic sauce after finishing the kebabs, put it in the fridge to be used on future meals; it easily goes toe to toe with some of the other best garlic sauces in town, including the one at Zankou Chicken. Order takeout directly through Mini Kabob, or delivery through DoorDash." - Rebecca Roland

"A small Armenian kebab spot in Glendale, renowned for its flavorful kebabs including beef shish and combo plates with seasoned rice." - Eater Staff

"Legendary for juicy kabobs, rice, and hummus, great for takeout." - Rebecca Roland

"Mini Kabob, which operates a tiny take-out Armenian kebab shop in Glendale, expanded to a stall at Westfield Topanga’s Topanga Social food hall in 2023. A partnership with Neighborly promises to help the celebrated kebab restaurant reach even more Southern California locations." - Matthew Kang

"LA’s tiniest kebab shop also happens to be among its strongest, thanks to the Martirosyan family, who run the place like their home kitchen but somehow even better. Order the beef shish kebab, hummus, and eggplant caviar for a complete homestyle meal. The Maritosyan family also recently expanded the Mini Kabob empire with a second location at Topanga Social in Woodland Hills, and the opening of their Mexican-Armenian restaurant, MidEast Tacos, in Silver Lake." - Rebecca Roland, Matthew Kang
