Panini Kabob Grill

Out door sitting, not too large, good knowledgeable servers & great food. Prices are not too expensive. Good smells all around. We are glad we found this place & we will eat here again.

This is my third time. Event with my family there. The restaurant was almost closing but the staff was kind enough to let us in. I'm not going to talk about their food it's always good amazing five stars for everything. I want to talk about the girl who was serving and the supervisor or the guy who was on the register. It was 8:20 p.m. the letter sent she took the order she was very kind to us. I even asked her if she wants us to get it to go she said no and service there. There's a little problem with order but I was hesitating and telling them but the guy at the register hard me talking to my wife and figured out the problem. He came to us with the server he asked us the problem and to my surprise he fixed the issue. In fact due to the diet restrictions one of my family member was not able to eat rice and we ordered a substitute but the chef missed it. The server and the guy at the register I do not remember the name next time when I'll go I'll take the names and I'll put it here they deserve a raise because they were not only professionals but I see the dedication towards their job. That's a very rare combination so I appreciate the kebab and panini grill to have these kind of employees. Congratulations to the manager who hired them and thumbs up to kabob and any girl for giving job to totally deserving people. I walked out happy gave a small reward to appreciate them as they made their day made my visit memorable. Thank you to both of you you guys are awesome I forgot the names but I know when you guys will read this appreciate yourself feel proud of you when I'll see you next time I'll put the names in the review.

Food was great. Tasted really good. Service was absolutely terrible. Waitress never checked up on us to see if we needed anything. Waited for a long time to get our food and our check. We ended up just going to the front counter and asking for our bill. I don't recommend eating there. Take it to go.

Ate here last night. Not too many people eating, but don't let that fool you! Food was great. The place had one server, buser, waiter, host and his name is Christian. Great guy wish we could have gave him his proper for a great meal but he was super busy. Food is great, ambiance is great and plenty of food!

The food was great but the service was not very good at all. It wasn't even packed & our server barely came to our table to see if we needed anything? Through our whole entire dinner we were there, there were gnats flying all over our food so we were constantly eating and swatting the whole time that we were there. It was very annoying!

Everything about this place was great. The hummus trio was AMAZING. The food was flavorful and delicious. Their salad was simple, but oh so good and refreshing. The pricing is perfect. I'm definitely going back!

The food was good needed some salt and a lot of lemon 😆 It’s unfortunate that they don’t have some of Mediterranean most delicious items. Oh and NO GARLOC BUTTER!! so don’t expect to get any! Tzatziki sauce doesn’t come on the side as it should if requested. You have to buy an order of it if you want any. Oh well !

I just went to have lunch because I found it on Google I ordered one chicken wrap and when I was starting to eat I just realized my wrap only had two portions of chicken each cause it was cut in half, 4 in total for the whole wrap. I asked to see if it was a mistake, but no, they told me that is the amount of chicken they usually have. I had to order more chicken and this time was raw. Anyways, I had to pay more to get a regular portion, cause otherwise it was not a chicken wrap, it was a vegetables wrap with two pieces of chicken. In the picture you can see the size of the actual chicken size I get in the wrap. The taste was not bad, but I won’t come back

We were looking for some Mediterranean options when we discovered this chain on Google. Being from out of town, we didn't know much about the chain, so we decided to give it a shot. This location is very clean, has great servers, and has amazing food. While the flat iron shish kabob was awesome, it was the humus trio with warm pita bread that was a hit. They are very generous with the amount of humus you get, making it great to add to your main entree as well. I can't speak for any of the other locations, but the center city location was impressive and highly recommended. (Also, it's a great area of Anaheim!)

Got family combo and hummus trio that didn’t make it in the bag unfortunately that ruined the whole lunch for everyone. I called and they offer to refund but i wonder about the other $70 to $ 80.00 that i spent on Lunch. we ate it but wasn’t as good as it usually is. I feel i should have been compensated with at least 1/2 of the bill. Also They want to add an automatic tip on orders to go but they don’t take the time to check the order 👎

We came here after a long day of moving homes. We got the family dinner for about $45. It come with rice, 2 salads, and 3 meat kabobs. We added 2 skewers of the Koobideh ($7 each) and a side of pita bread and humus (as an appetizer). The food was plated amazingly. The Cesar salad had flavorful strips of parmesean. The dinner plate had amazing presentation! We added a side of 3 grilled serrano peppers for some heat! All in all, we all ate and had 2 plates of leftovers! Our family conaaisted of 3 adults and 3 kids. I was too hungry to take a before pic. Lol.

I've always ordered for delivery, so it's the first time actually picking up myself. The inside of the restaurant is quite cozy and clean. As we walked in, we were immediately greeted, and our food was ready to take home. I always get the chicken and beef barg combo. Chicken is not dry like other places. This is why I keep coming back. Next time, I will try dining in!

I just arrived at my hotel after a long day of flying and some serious aggravation. However, I found this place on Doordash and saw great reviews, so I decided to give it a try. I ordered the chicken wrap, a side of basmati rice, and a side of hummus and pita. I usually take photos of everything, but after the first bite of the wrap, I dove into my meal and consumed every bit. I'm on Ozempic, so imagine my surprise when I polished it off. Well, I tried the pita and hummus (delicious), but I'll save that for later, lol. The food was fresh, delicious, and perfectly seasoned, and I couldn't help myself!
I will definitely eat here tomorrow, and maybe every day I'm here on business. Job well done!

PKG is really good, the food is delicious and it's quick. HOWEVER, whenever I order online, I've had the tzatziki sauce missing from my order multiple times. I've had to develop a habit of checking my orders in case the tzatziki is missing! And when I ask for the tzatziki, they ask to check my entire bag themselves, as if they don't believe me and are super stingy about handing out tzatziki!

The place was really nice inside and the area “outside” had this ceiling warmers that make the area cozy and nice. The service was fast, friendly, welcoming and courteous. What I like the most is that they don’t add the typical suggested tip percentage to the bill, for a place this nice and a service this good I’m actually surprised.
The food was really good, tender beef, chicken and the salmon as well; Big proportions and tasty crunchy panini bread.
We didn’t get to go inside or use the bathrooms but the next time we’ll do just out of curiosity lol. They serve wine, beers and many variety of alcoholic drinks, but we didn’t try any tho. The hot chocolate, I have to say tho, was not quite hot but warm enough, although for me, a hot chocolate has to definitely be HOT 😅, by that is not any reason to not give this place 5 well deserved stars;, especially because of the service, really good service.

I arrived and was instructed to sit anywhere.

After taking a seat, the waitstaff hurried around tending to groups and parties a few of which arrived after I had.

I waited at my table, hoping to be acknowledged, for about twenty minutes and when I still hadn’t been acknowledged, I left the table to place an order at the to-go counter which involved an additional thirty minute wait.

Arriving home ten minutes after leaving with my panini, I tried one bite and it was room temperature.

I wanted an enjoyable lunch in a diner, what I got was an embarrassing ordeal.

Went there on Saturday night. The place was 6/10 in being busy, it could’ve been bad and somehow our server only came to see us 1 time sure the whole interaction.

There was no host outside. We waited 10 minutes before being seated despite no one being in line.

When we sat, we ordered our food and drinks. 30 MINUTES LATER our food arrived but we still had no drinks or water.

We asked the runner regarding our drinks and they told me they would tell our server.

10 minutes later my husband had to get up to ask about our drinks.

10 minutes later our drinks and water finally arrived when we were nearly done with our dinner.

Not sure what happened but our server was running around her section acting like there were hundreds of tables when there were only 3-4 small tables.

Regardless hire better/ new people!!!

was excited to try this place, especially since it's one of my favorites. the first disappointment came in the waiting. the place wasn't busy, but I still waited about 15 minutes before I had to go up to someone to ask for my order that had been ready for who knows how long. The waiting wouldn't have been so bad if the food had at least been good. the quality was nowhere near as good as their Irvine or Santa Ana locations, very bland and dry. I hope they improve, I'd love to be able to eat here more often since it's closer to home.

Excellent food at incredibly low price so much that we first thought it was a mistake and we were charged only for one meal! The service is very fast, the place is pleasant, decorated with nice photos of Italy mainly, the music is italian pop played at the right level, enjoyable without being intrusive, the staff is friendly and not overdoing it, like in some places where the staff interrupts you permanently and obsess about your water glass being full.Felt like a european place all together. Liked it so much we came back the next night. Wish they were in my town!

Very slow service. Restaurant didn't look to packed, they sat us immediately. They took out order. Didn't get my soup starter til 30 mins I order. All while the party ahead of us got for their 3 plates before my soup. They showed no empathy for the delay of food.

First of all, I would like to say for quality of ingredients, taste, cleanliness, smell, ambiance, and service I would give 5 stars. Also, the prices are very reasonable compared to what you are getting. I ordered a combination of koobideh and chicken kabob. Wow, was it delicious and fresh! My only complaint is that they overcooked the meat. And apparently their grill or broiler is heavy on heat on one side and is in process of being fixed from what I’m told. But even though the food was over cooked, it still tasted very good. I will definitely be back regardless. They are very clean, patio was ready for us nice and warm during this freezing rainy day in california. Service was phenomenal. The cucumber yogurt was the best I ever had in my life. The salad was just as good with a very delicious dressing. Half rice half salad is the perfect combo. Initially I thought it wasn’t enough rice for me but towards the end of my meal I thought it was a perfect portion mixed with the perfect portion of rice. I love this place!

I saw chicken and pesto panini, oh it's a must-have for me. I have been craving panini for weeks. My husband ordered chicken kabob. We were so pleased with all the dishes. Everything was so fresh and tasty. All so delicious. Next time we're in town, definitely will come by again.

It is a pleasure to find and welcome Panini Kabob Grill to the Promenade downtown Anaheim. We enjoyed well presented delicious food. Salmon Kabobs with Basmati rice and strawberry date walnut salad with blue cheese, strawberry lemonade. Deliciously combined white onion, green bell pepper, tomato and salmon, all cooked perfectly.
The setting is cozy, with the patio dining glass enclosed, providing the open view to downtown activities while shielded from breeze. The night was chilly and the patio heaters are placed very well and keep it comfortable.
The inside is neatly appointed and can accommodate a large party of guests.
The overall ambiance is nice.
All of that is nice but the reality is that the service one receives is what can make a meager meal a feast, or a fine delicacy a bitter.
Absolutely superb professional service, with a personal touch. We were warmly greeted by Christian, who was also our server. Attentive, efficient at multitasking, friendly while maintaining professionalism. Not so common anymore. He liked and was nice to Finley, our dog. That pretty much inked it.
While waiting after ordering, Umberto brought us our drinks and we engaged in a very nice conversation. A very well mannered young man, it was no surprise to learn he is the Assistant General Manager.
Its new and still relatively as yet undiscovered. Yet it’s getting a little busier every day.
We will certainly be contributing to that ourselves.
