Thatâs a nice spread. Any charcoal flavor from Mini Kabob like Hamletâs?
How were the eggplant caviar since you had them side by side?

Went to Hamletâs this week as well. Appreciate yâall putting a shine on this place. Lamb chops were a sleeper hit, though the pork cartilage was fun too.
Overall I found Hamletâs solid but not extraordinary. I prefer this style food, grill restaurant for lack of a better term, with better sauces/sides. Toum, amba, zhoug to accompany the meat, lavash and lebni etc.
I like to taquear I guess.
ps. @moonboy403 I could definitely taste the charcoal at Hamletâs.
Damn straight
the charcoal and smokiness was very evident at hamletâs.
I like the chunkier and ironically smokier ikra at mini.
i also really liked the texture of the ribs, not soft and fall off the bone, but more of a chew that you had to work to get off the bone. the texture reminds me of some vietnamese grilled ribs (sÆ°á»n nÆ°á»ng) iâve had. and that cartilage
Think Hamletâs going to have to put a sign out just for the FTC folks: no potatoes
The coverage on Mini and Hamletâs on Dave Changâs show has been amusing! Iâm pleased to see it. Glad they echoed the difference charcoal makes. Of course we do it at home (including this coming friday) and iâve never been to any of these places.
this is the shish kabab / shashlik we make too⊠just without all those arabic things around it for sides.
and Jonâs and Valley produce. Love all of those sodas we call limonad for some reason⊠i got a nice kvas yesterday⊠much lighter than all the dark ones i see⊠we grew up with a lighter style ⊠called Derevenskiy (village style) soft kvas.
donât forget our jams and preserves⊠the ones imported from armenia are very much worth everyoneâs exploration
how would you butcher the rib tips like hamletâs? do markets like superking sell them like that or can you cut them off from the spare rib.
We have a number of butchers as part of Armenian stores that do it all day professionally. There are a bunch in Glendale of course but I like places such as Karabagh (there are 2), Olive, Victory Produce
Do those all have the same marinade or does each protein have itâs own marinade?
Only fish gets different. Usually non spicy red paper or a tomato paste addition
bomb!
fantastic food! Not sure which meats I ate are which but very delicious. Reminds me strangely enough of some of the great Brazillian food you can get in LA, but without some of the chewier pieces.
