Mini Kabob is a family-owned restaurant built on tradition, passion, and a love for bringing people together through food.
Our story began in 1987, when Ovakim and Alvard Martirosyan brought their Armenian heritage and Egyptian influences to Mini Kabob. Their son, Armen, joined in 2015, helping elevate the restaurant to national and international recognition, including features in the Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, and the Michelin Guide. Today, Armen and his wife Katya continue the family legacy, preserving the warmth of a family kitchen while bringing Mini Kabob to new heights.
Everything we serve is made from scratch, with care, consistency, and pride.
Our team is small, but our energy is big. We thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on environment where everyone plays an important role, takes ownership of their work, and supports one another. We love working with people who are upbeat, energetic, personable, and naturally motivated, people who enjoy staying busy, moving with purpose, taking on responsibility, and working together as one team.
At Mini Kabob, no one is just another employee. Every person contributes to our success, and we take pride in building a team that works hard, brings positive energy, and genuinely enjoys what they do.
We're a small family with big ambitions, and we're always excited to meet people who share our passion.
