Mini Kabob

*** Los Angeles Times 101 Best Restaurants (2024): #42 ***Located just a couple blocks away from the Glendale Galleria, Mini Kabob was a convenient option for lunch when we were out shopping in the area this past Sunday. We originally stopped by around 12 noon (without ordering ahead) and were told the wait would be about an hour. This gave us the perfect amount of time to go check out some shops nearby while waiting for our order.To eat, I ordered the combo plate, which came with chicken lule kabob, pork tenderloin kabob, chicken thigh kabob, hummus, rice, and more. The chicken thigh and pork tenderloin were my definite favorites. Admittedly, I wasn't a big fan of the chicken lule. I'll note that this place is mostly a takeout spot, though they do have one communal table set up outside.If looking for a lunch spot in Glendale, Mini Kabob is an excellent option. Featuring delicious/flavorful food and large portions, you'll definitely leave satisfied. Service is also very nice and friendly. I would not hesitate to come back next time I'm in the area. However, if you're in a rush, I would highly recommend calling ahead. This place is certainly busy and in demand!

This place is definitely a little hole in the wall. You basically order outside at the door and there is one table for a couple people to sit. They also have a little curb where you can quickly park and pick up your food, which is exactly what I did. I called ahead to order and I'm glad I did. They told me it would take about 30 minutes and when I got there, it was ready just in time. I got the combo plate, which I chose chicken and beef. I was a little surprised that it was $42 and it was pretty good but a little bit hefty of a price. There was enough food for two people to share, which is why I'll still say it's a great place to check out.

No need to say anything. A staple of Glendale and seriously one of the best bbq spots you will find in the area. Armen and his family and very friendly a d the ambiance is great. The service is great. Just a heads up call in advance since they are always busy and it's cash only!!

Staff is very welcoming and provides great service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. All the food is seasoned and cooked well.Chicken Cutlet- 10/10 Very moist and flavored. They need to make these into chicken nuggets as these cutlets are already addicting.Eggplant Caviar- 10/10 Very robust flavor. I like the roasted earthy taste and it was great with the meat.Ground Chicken Lule Kabob- 10/10 Very moist and tender.Beef Kabob- 10/10 Seasoned and cooked perfectly.Lamb Chop- 10/10 Seasoned so good you'll want to like the bone.Cottage Fries- 10/10 Gotta have it. Piping hot deliciousness.

The shop and service: the owner was super friendly. They take both cash and car but if you pay with card there will be a slight cc fee. It's take out only but they do have a bench and table outside if you want to enjoy your food there. It's street parking only and they have a 30 minute limit right in front of the store for pick up or ordering (it took 15 minutes for the food to be ready). The street is quite narrow with lots of cars parked on the side since it's a residential area. The food: it was delicious! We got a chicken thigh entree and beef shish entree. I prefer the chicken more than the beef because of the seasoning. Everything else in the entree (hummus, garlic sauce, raw onions, grilled tomato's and jalapeño, flat sheet pita) were great.

This spot has become my new favorite spot for Mediterranean food and wow I'm already planning the next time I want to come back. This spot is cash only but totally worth it. I tried their chicken thigh shish plate and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. I thought the rice was so buttery and the hummus was so smooth and creamy. The roasted tomato and jalapeño was a really good add on to the plate too. Staff who takes orders is super friendly and very personable. Hooked us up with extra garlic sauce and who can ever be upset about that. Highly recommend and I want to try more of their menu items next time!Parking: neighborhood street parking only

Small neighborhood kebab spot in Glendale that feels family owned and operated. I've been wanting to come here for a while because I heard so many great things. (Also note: This place is cash only)I have to confess I was a little skeptical only because I've been to some kebob spots, and by no means do I think I'm a connoisseur, but I was thinking to myself how could great can this place be? Well, let me tell you. Even though it was my first time here, the people here are very cool and treated me like a long time friend as soon as I walked up to the counter. I couldn't decide what I wanted, but narrowed down my choices with some recommendations from the folks here. I ended up getting the chicken lule kabob plate - and I'm not exaggerating here, but this might be the most juicy, succulent chicken lule kebobs I've ever had. Everything was super fresh and the portions are pretty large. This entree order lasted me two meals.I also got some of the cucumber and yogurt dip as well and that was super fresh and delicious. The pear soda was a great choice to wash everything down. After visiting, I can see why this place is loved by so many. Delicious fresh food served by some great people at a decent price especially when you factor in how much food you get. I'm a big fan

Amazing food and cool staff.Tried this place because it came highly recommended from a friend. Very happy I listened because this place was delicious. I had the lule plate and the potatoes and god damn I was happy. The rice is so soft and tasty and the hummus was perfection. I also like that their pita bread is thin and soft. I'll definitely come back!Parking is a little rough, so maybe call to order ahead so you can just swing by for pickup.Oh the owner was super friendly and real chill too.

One of those meals that is just so memorable that you constantly think about it and keep coming back. Everything we've had here has been delicious. We love the chicken and the beef koobideh and the lamb chops. The meat is just cooked to perfection and so tender, and the garlic yogurt sauce is incredible. The chef is the friendliest person too! All in all solid spot.

MUST TRY!! My husband and I tried the beef lule plate. We also got the eggplant caviar. Both were solid and soooo good. I don't know what they put in their rice but I can eat that every day. There isn't anything negative I can say about this place. Maybe more seating? The main guy that takes your order is so nice. He always converses with everyone. It's the small things.
