We ate here yesterday for lunch and it was great. It was our first time eating here and we enjoyed it very much. I had the falafel wrap and Mediterranean salad. We were seated very quickly and had a very attentive server. The food arrived quickly as well. The portions are very large and the pricing is fair. We will be back

First-time guest here!! OMG! Going back ! I ordered the Chicken Pesto Panini with Lentil soup. The portion was very large and shareable, at least for me. The chicken was super juicy and full of flavor, and the lentils were so yummy, soft, and full of flavor as well.

The food is great. One of the most famous dishes is the CHARBROILED CHICKEN SHISH KABOB delicious! Coffee is not that great but the mean dishes are. Service is good. The layout and space is cozy and intimate although I did know like that the tables are too close to each other. I did like the decor and space feeling.

Good food: always family feast for us; chicken skewers are juicy and the vegetables tastes fresh and sweet. My husband loves the strawberry and date salad and Mediterranean salad. Service is A: server Lestat is with enthusiasm and energy.

I arrived right on time, so my food was still warm, which was great. However, I didn't get a text notification that my order was ready, so if I'd been late, my food would've probably been cold--they could definitely improve on that. Always nice ambiance I've been to other locations, and it's consistently good overall. Occasionally, the beef or chicken can be overcooked and a bit tough, but it's not a dealbreaker. Panini Kabob has become my go-to for family dinners because it's reliable and convenient. A few tweaks here and there, and it'd be even better!

We always look forward to enjoying a meal at Panini Kabob Grill. We went on Sunday afternoon and were seating fairly quickly out on the patio. It was a nice cool day so they had the heaters on. Our server was very friendly and service was great. The inside of the restaurant seemed busy, ambiance was nice. There was a large party out on the patio that seemed to be enjoying their meal as well. The food was delicious. Started off with the hummus trio (we always double up on the red pepper hummus). For our entrees, we got the chicken caesar wrap and chicken kabob plate with caesar salad and basmati rice plus strawberry lemonades. The portions are huge so always plenty leftover for additional meals. Great meal.

I have been to other Pannini Kabob Grill's after my parents introduced me. The food is delicious, primarily the chicken kabob meals. Yes, the price went up after covid but the servings are enough for 2 people. I went into this location since the Chino location closed and we're looking for catering. Joann was pleasant and helpful. Although they ran out of menus for to go orders/catering, she walked me through the online ordering process, patiently answering my questions. After leaving, I decided to place a to go order online so my husband could try the food before catering. The food did not disappoint. The chicken kabob is so tender and the vegetables delightfully tasty. I wish there was one closer to Chino Hills. Well, there was, but it was inside of a grocery store with a conglomerate of other food places, "Cravings". Nobody knew it was there and it eventually went out of business. Such a shame. I'll still come to you, just not as often.

Went here on a Thursday night with some friends and was seated immediately upon arrival. I ordered the beef kebab plate and was simply amazed by the portion size for its price! The beef kebab was very tender and flavorful! Texture of it was amazing and the sauce complimented it so well! Rice was perfectly cooked and service was also great! Definitely will be coming back in the future for more!

Food: 4 stars Price and Quantity: 5 stars Service: 3 stars I totally understand why there is always either a lot of customers waiting to be seated, and what the hype is about. Every time I had passed by, or was in the area, there were always a crowd of people, so I knew I had to put it on my "to try" list - though it took me a few years to visit, until Black Friday (of all days). As I was waiting for my friends to arrive (which I purposefully arrived 15-mins early to see if I could add my name to the "possible" waitlist), the restaurant started to fill up by 12:30 pm (both the interior and the patio seating). We opted to sit outside as the inside was full, and it was a bit more "airy" outside as well. Hummus Trio (A Must) $9.99 Combination of Garbanzo, Spicy Red Bell Pepper Hummus (switched out for Tzatziki), and Edamame Hummus. Blended with Chopped Garlic and Olive Oil Mixed with Fresh-Squeezed Lemon Juice. Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabob $16.99 Charbroiled Wayne Farms Fresh Tenders with No Antibiotics. Skewered with Grilled Vegetables. Served with Your Choice of Two Sides (Basmati Rice and Mediterranean Greek Salad). Beef Koobideh Kabob - Double $22.98 Half Pound (1 Skewer) of Charbroiled, All-Natural, ABF (Antibiotic & Hormone Free) Seasoned Ground Beef* with Grilled Vegetables. Served with Your Choice of Two Sides (Basmati Rice and Mediterranean Greek Salad). Chicken Pesto Panini $13.99 Wayne Farms Grilled Antibiotic Free Chicken, Artichoke Hearts, Provolone Cheese, Fresh Tomatoes and Pesto w/ Cup of Chicken Soup. Cup Lentil Soup $3.99 Organic Green Lentils, Tomatoes, Garlic, Red Onion, Parsley, Mint, Crushed Pepper in a Vegetable Broth. (TRUE VEGAN) Served with Grilled Artisan Bread. Ordering was fast, and the food came out as expected, with the Hummus Trio arriving first. With the cooler weather, 2 (out of 3) of us also asked for hot water with lemon, which they also never refilled... good thing I had water in my bag as I was getting thirsty. When the entrees were brought out, I was surprised at the portions! Those are not 1-person entrees, they are totally shareable and I was amazed at the affordability of it! (Just the other week, I had Mediterranean down the street - which I will not name the restaurant, the to-go portion was like a child's meal and it cost me in the $20's for an entrée and the quality was not even up there.) I had the Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabob and the chicken pieces were very tender and I loved the grilled vegetables. The Mediterranean Greek Salad was fresh and very tasty. I do wish the pita bread in the Humus Trio was a bit warmer, but it probably got cold as it was sitting on the table, outside on the patio. Everything tasted delicious (quality) and we all had food (to share) or for dinner. I would most definitely return and try the many other dishes that caught my eye. Great place to meet up with friends and catch up as well. Service is a bit on the younger side, but they are very kind. Due to the smaller storefront, I see why there could be a wait for a table, so expect a wait during busy times. Parking can also be a bit difficult with the amount of storefronts in this plaza.
