"Don't let Mini Kabob's demure size and Americana-adjacent location fool you - the pint-sized Glendale restaurant serves Los Angeles's best smoky, flame-kissed Armenian kebabs. Operated by two generations of the Martirosyan family, Mini Kabob blends Armenian and Egyptian flavors in fully loaded kebab and falafel plates served out of a makeshift takeout window. The younger Martirosyan, Armen, greets regulars by name at the window between flipping skewers of tender marinated beef and plating piles of bulgur-dotted tabbouleh."
"The beef shish kebab, flecked with blackened char marks from being cooked over an open flame, is the best introduction to Mini Kabob. Stick with the rice base, whose fluffy grains absorb the smoky flavors of the meal. Creamy hummus, a blistered tomato, and thin lavash are served on the side. Vegetarians and vegans won't be disappointed with puck-shaped falafel, fried until dark brown and crispy. The spiced green interior offers hints of cumin, coriander, and parsley. Mini Kabob's falafel is also gluten-free."
