Ovakim Martirosyan and his wife both hail from Armenia, and now run a tiny kabob house on a Glendale side street that offers only three tables. They tend to a long and lean stovetop grill which holds kabobs, tomatoes and peppers. The Mini Kabob Plate ($9.95) features small luleh kebabs crafted in-house with either beef chuck or chicken thigh plus salt, pepper, onion and a special "green plant" that Martirosyan refuses to reveal. Each plate comes with rice, blistered tomato, spicy jalapeño, onion, parsley and sumac salad; a basket of lavash; and a tiny ramekin of garlicky, Aleppo pepper dusted hummus.
