Panini Kabob Grill

Bucky Katt

Good service very friendly waitress I didn't catch the name but she's tall. Food a good value for the price. I usually order the kebabs. The cafe Cubano is a nice pick me up drink to have during the day.

First time trying this place and I have to say it was absolutely delicious. We got the chicken kabob and it is 10/10 moist and full of flavor. The rice was nice n buttery and the vegetables were grilled to perfection. If you are into Mediterranean food I would highly recommend this place good for big parties or if you're just looking for a quick meal. We were seated very quickly and the food came out just as fast. We finished off with the banana bread pudding and it was absolutely delicious

Located near the 605 FWY on South St & Gridley Rd next to Island Pacific Seafood Market with plenty of parking. I was craving a good Mediterranean salad and decided to try this place. First time, and I'm impressed! I ordered their Steak Panini with a Mediterranean Salad, both delicious! Food was fresh with good presentation. That salad dressing is the best I've had. Portions are generous, and prices are competitive. This is such a good, healthier choice of meal for sure. We were greeted by a very friendly gal and seated right away. Shout out to our server 'Jacqueli' who was extremely attentive and helpful with the menu. The restaurant is very clean and organized with a beautiful patio. Restrooms are clean. Overall, we had a great experience at Panini Kabob Grill and can't wait to return and try other menu items.

This is a gem of a restaurant. It beats other alternatives in the area. Team is welcoming and friendly. Portions a huge at bargain prices. Best deal is the family entree, for $44 you get 2 full salads and a plate of chicken kebab which easily feeds 6 people. By the way, chicken chuncks are big and delicious. Another plus: restroom is spotless. Great place to have a group gathering.

Roberto took my order he was very helpful. I went in not knowing portions or how to order for a small group of 5. I ended up buying a family pack it was perfect. It came w the chicken super juicy grilled veggies rice and a salad . Half trys of each I paid about 70 bucks. Great service thanks

I can't believe i haven't rated this place yet! This is literally my favorite eat out place. The consistency of the food and service are what make this place so good. My wife and I have been to Panini Kabob so many times that the servers are probably tired of seeing us there. Delicious, Fresh tasting Mediterranean food with good service, everytime, period! And that sums it all up, atleast for me.

I had been looking forward to trying Panini Grill, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the combo kabob, and the meal was both flavorful and plentiful. The servers were warm, attentive, and checked on us regularly, which made the experience even better. I also appreciated the attention to detail—right down to the to-go containers for the tzatziki. Panini Grill easily earned a spot on my list of regular go-to places.

Came here with a couple friends and we enjoyed the food very much. The waiters were very kind and patient — when we came it was around 6 in the evening but they told us to wait because they had to seat a couple parties before us. It wouldn’t be long — but we waited for 20 ish minutes and assumed they were understaffed. When it was our turn, we were already ready to order - we got the hummus trio, (appetizer / house specialty), the charbroiled ABF chicken sish kabob and the beef kabob under it in the menu. The portions were HUGE, definitely consider sharing family style. The food wait was really long - probably about half and hour and maybe more - so it seems like they’re understaffed. The food was all really good, the hummus and pita bread, the chicken kabob was delicious and the basmati rice that came with it was pretty flavorful and the salad on the side was a good add on. The beef kabob wasn’t bad but it came out cold and seemingly undercooked. We were confused because we thought it was suppose to be warm and grilled but the insides were cold and slightly pink - maybe they cooked it earlier and left it out and forgot to bring it to us sooner? My friend asked for it to be heated and the waiter was super kind and brought us new ones out. Honestly, the employees were really kind and the food was delicious so it’s four stars for us — I can see why ratings might fall because of the long food wait or the little mishap with the beef but overall I would recommend panini kabob grill as a place to get Mediterranean food!! It’s also located in a nice plaza with a ton of other restaurants and dessert places. Come here if you’re deciding what to eat for lunch and dinner and if you’re group is indecisive - you won’t regret the food!

Came here because my usual other kabob spot was closed that day. I ordered the Family Combo - comes with 4 Chicken Skewers Served with Choice of Any Two Sides ( Pilaf & salad). Additional side of falafel with sliced cucumbers. Hummus and pita bread are charged EXTRA, not included. That was unexpected but understandable given how everything is so much more expensive these days. I could eat that fresh greens salad with sweet strawberries and candied nuts all day. Kebabs were tender and tasty , meat cooked to the perfect done-ness. Occupies a very large corner spot in the same plaza as a Filipino centric grocery store, Four Seasons Asian buffet and bigger Target. Place is suitable for larger groups. They were quite busy this July 4th holiday but my order was ready when promised ( I placed by phone, although Online ordering is available).

This restaurant specializes in kabobs, especially chicken (8/10) which is moist and well seasoned. It comes with blistered onions and peppers. The portion is quite generous, we picked grilled veggies and strawberry date salad (which costs extra). We also ordered chicken pesto panini sandwich (7/10). I would have preferred a ciabatta or focaccia instead of grilled sourdough bread. They do not have shawarma, gyro, moussaka or paella, however there are several pasta dishes. We waited for 15 minutes on a Friday evening, the place was rather packed.

Diverse menu dispite the name, with excellent pastas. Food is well prepared and visually attractive. Always a good choice when you can't decide on what's for dinner

I have to say I had a lot of expectations for this restaurant. The photos on google looked very appealing. The staff were very nice and service was great. It’s a sit down restaurant and food took a little longer than I had hoped. The food tasted good but my plate was a disappointment. My beef kubidah was dry, and overcooked the salad, that had additional cost, was soggy and drowning in oil. My lunch cost $22 plus tax, sales taxes were charged separate and itemized on my receipt. I would say I won’t be back.

Everything was delicious EXCEPT the water taste weird and we were a party of 4 and all of us agreed. We did tell the waiter and he changed our drinks.

Just an FYI. They have NO Halal options. They should consider having at least one of the meats (beef or chicken) as halal. Service was SLOW. Waited to get seated no one else in line. Waited a long while before server came. Food took a while also.

I was very disappointed with this location. The food was bland, and the rice tasted reheated. The cappuccino was a bit cold. I ordered the steak panini, and it was ok. It tasted almost like a Philly cheese steak sandwich. The other guest ordered a combination kebab plate. He also complained about the temperature and taste of the food. When we arrived, no one was at the entrance to seat us. I believe the hostess may have been in the restroom. Once we got in, there were hardly any customers, and the food still took a little longer to come out of the kitchen. The only thing I really enjoyed was the basket of warm artisinal bread. Overall, I would not return based on the service and flavor of the meal. I love panini over all as a brand, but this location needs to step it up.

Have had positive experiences with this franchise in the past. However, our most recent experience will definitely be our last. To summarize: - Poor service (waiting 20+ mins for our server to reappear) - Mediocre food (Chewy chicken, dry/cold bread) - Bad atmosphere (most of the tables around us were left uncleared and empty for the entire duration of our meal, attracting flies, etc.) - Exorbitant prices (for a plate that is mostly salad and rice) Maybe it was just because it was a Friday night? Though, we were sat almost 2 hours before closing, and it was not that busy. There are definitely better places to satisfy your Mediterranean food cravings.

I absolutely love the food here! My review is strictly for the NYE orders. I placed my order at 3:39 for a 6:00pm pick up time. When I arrived at the restaurant there was a huge line, and over 30 people waiting for their dinner orders. I was told all orders were pushed back 45-60 minutes behind scheduled pick up time. The staff seemed overwhelmed. My order was finally ready at 7:26. I recommend this restaurant for dine in but definitely never order food for pick up from here for New Year’s Eve catering.

Tried this restaurant a couple of weeks ago and it was ok. The service was good so we decided to give it another try. We went in for lunch and definitely made up our mind. The server came over and wasn't very friendly and seemed distracted. I felt terrible for him when he let us know he was being sent home so there would be someone else taking care of us. Nothing says happy holidays like losing out on a day's pay, not to mention what he had to deal with before he was sent home! The highlight of our meal was being served raw chicken. Two orders of chicken kabobs and when we cut into them they were both raw. We told the young lady that brought our food and she hurried the plates back to the kitchen. The server came over and apologized while we sat there with our dirty appetizer plates for the next 30 minutes. We had to ask for them to clear the used dishes and trash. They took our silverware and we had to ask for more. When they returned with our meals the chunks of chicken were torn in half to make sure they were cooked. If your restaurant specializes in cooking chicken there should at least be a cook that knows how to cook chicken. If you don't know how, use a thermometer... and if you need to see the inside of the chicken use a knife. At minimum we expected the manager to check in with us; not a chance. We had to ask for the check after we paid we were walking out and the manager was standing at the exit. She just looked away when we approached. Great leadership!!! Now I know why the cook has no standards and the employees were unhappy. There are a lot better options in the area and I would rather spend my money there. Go to Kabob Crush down the street, you'll thank me for it!
