“ The food was delicious! This is one of my favorite Mediterranean restaurants. The waitress was very kind and helpful. The ambiance was neither chaotic nor noisy. The day my friend and I went, there weren't many people. The reason I gave it a four-star review was that we waited a while to be seated, but other than that, I would go again. I highly recommend the tiramisu cake. ”
“ The Panini Kabob Grill is an excellent choice for a family meal. Ideal for both big and small gatherings. The food has always been delicious, and they are usually consistent. They consistently deliver juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked chicken kabobs every time we place an order. Additionally, we try to get their Caprese salad each time, as their pesto sauce they serve with it is very amazing. My kids absolutely adore the rigatoni rosa pasta; it has the most delicious flavor. It could take a while to acquire a table, and I find service generally slower when it's busy, which is one drawback. ”
“ I wanted to update my review because when I went here with my family on 1/30 the service was great and the food was really good very fresh I'm happy to see that things have improved here . ”
“ Came here for lunch. It was pretty busy for lunch hour but we got seated right away. We ordered the charbroiled chicken kabob and beef koobideh kabob. Charbroiled Chicken Kabob- Came with rice, salad, and grilled vegetables. The chicken was juicy seasoned perfectly. Portions were generous. Beef Koobideh Kabob- Packed with flavor and tender. I am amazed at how much food I was given. The vegetables provided a good balance considering how much meat and rice we have. Great place for a meal! ”
“ The hummus trio is a must try. I love all 3 types of their hummus. Service is very fast. The place is very nice and chill. Food was good. I like the flat iron steak more. The beef kabob was a little chewy today but doable. Will come back again :) ”
“ I love this place! The prices are amazing and their portions are huge! I get grilled chicken or grilled salmon with rice and salad! My favorite salad is avocado salad! The ambience is really cute and it's great for a romantic date! The waiter was very nice and answered all our questions! ”
“ We usually order the family combo for 4 for the most bang for our buck. It's a little expensive, but we always have a lot of leftovers; the website says it feeds up to 6 people and I would say that's accurate. I love that you can get two different types of salads and rice without an additional charge. Substituting the skewers for a different meat is also at a lower price than ordering individually. The rice is always cooked well and the salads are fresh with really good dressing. I especially like the romaine avocado salad that has a lemon dressing. The meat is usually seasoned well and not dry, but it can sometimes be burnt. A small complaint I have with Panini Kabob Grill is that they vary not only restaurant by restaurant, but also within the same restaurant with the amount they give of certain items. For example, I love the tzatziki that comes with the koobideh skewers, but sometimes they give a big container of it and this time they gave two small containers which was not enough for us. You never know until you pick up the order and may want to order more once you do. They also only give one vegetable skewer for 6 koobideh skewers, but a lot more vegetables for chicken skewers. Overall, this restaurant provides great Mediterranean food that is a staple in our household and this particular location has never gotten our order wrong even though they are super busy! ”
“ The staff were so friendly and talkative with me in the restaurant! I came back to ask for some dipping sauce. I had the chicken kabob with basmati rice. They gave me a side salad too. The food was good and tender. ”
