My boss has raved about this place on several occasions. When I saw we have a location right in…read moreVictoria Gardens, I decided I had to check this place out! I placed an order online for pickup and was given a pickup time. The place is very open, spacious and just has a neat vibe to it. I walked right up to the counter to give them my name for pick up and they said they were finishing it up. There were other people waiting for their orders as well. A couple minutes later, the gentleman behind the counter called out "Daniel" and the guy waiting next to me jumped right in and grabbed the bag and took off. I had wondered "I hope they didn't pronounce my name wrong and that was MY order." But didn't think much of it. Then the gentleman behind the counter asked me the name for my order. When I said "Danielle" he said "oh that was yours, the guy just left." He kind of looked at me like it was my problem to fix, so I took off after the guy and the employee followed me. Thankfully, the guy didn't get very far because he was verifying the order, so we made the exchange. Whew! I ordered the charbroiled chicken shish kabob with extra grilled veggies and a side Mediterranean salad as well as the hummus trio with sliced cucumbers instead of pita bread. The chicken kabob meal was delicious! The chicken was cooked to perfection and the option to add on more veggies was much appreciated! I was really excited about the hummus trio, but sadly I found it to be lacking flavor. With the 3 options of regular hummus, spicy red bell pepper and edamame, I was definitely expecting a flavor explosion, but it fell flat for me. I'd definitely come back to try more of their main dishes. Seems like a great little spot to dine in.

Panini Kabob Grill used to be one of my favorite restaurants, but unfortunately the food quality…read moreand customer service have gone noticeably downhill. I've been a frequent customer for years, which is why this review is disappointing to write. Over my last few visits, the food has not tasted fresh, and the service has lacked the care and quality the restaurant used to provide. The koobideh kabobs I once loved no longer taste fresh, and during one visit the pasta sauce was watery and disappointing. I've also noticed many recent negative Yelp reviews that management does not seem to acknowledge or respond to. Tonight's experience was the worst yet. We came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's graduation with a family dinner for eight people, expecting the good food and service this restaurant was once known for. Instead, the steak skewers in our family meal came out almost raw and bloody inside -- completely undercooked and unsafe to serve. When we complained, the restaurant took the same meat back to the kitchen, recooked it, and brought it back out. Since we had already started eating from the platter, having the same meat returned felt unappetizing. On top of that, it took nearly 30 minutes for the replacement to come back, and by then the rest of the table had already finished eating. I spoke with the manager, and the initial resolution offered was one free tiramisu for a party of eight. After I explained that a single dessert did not make up for serving raw meat and making us wait so long, they offered one additional tiramisu. That response felt completely inadequate given the situation. Most restaurants would have removed the item from the bill or offered a meaningful discount. Instead, this experience showed very little accountability or concern for customer satisfaction and food safety It's unfortunate to see a restaurant that was once consistently good decline this much. Panini Kabob Grill needs stronger management, better customer service, fresher food, and more attention to customer feedback -- including responding to the growing number of negative reviews. And they really need to bring their garlic sauce back... it drastically enhanced the meal. Without it, the food falls a bit flat.

It's just as described by other reviewers...Chipotle style establishment with Mediterranean food. The servers work like an assembly line, serving you at different stations. The staff were not overtly friendly. They were just very matter of fact, asking you whether you want rice or salad. The line was very long when we arrived around 6:30 pm but it seemed to move pretty efficiently. I was happy to see that none of the items I wanted were "all out" which often is the case when you go to a Chipotle or custom pizza place like Blaze. The only thing I noticed was that there was litter all throughout the restaurant since the workers appeared to be tied up serving and making food. We got a kids build your own and a bowl. They packed it in with everything we wanted. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Dinner was so refreshing. One of my fave items at Cava is their pita chips. I can't wait to go back!!

My group of four were the only ones in the restaurant during a Wednesday night dinner hour, and our server was very accommodating to our needs the entire time. We sat in the booth seats which were very comfy! My order was a chicken shawarma wrap which came with hummus and house salad (you could substitute it with Greek salad as well). Personally, I felt like the shawarma bread was quite dry, but the garlic sauce and hummus helped it out. The shawarma chicken was flavorful and filling! It was still very yummy the next day. I also loved how they served us warmed up pita bread after noticing ours was cooled down. I'll keep coming to support this local spot!

My husband and I stopped into the Fontana location of Zaky Mediterranean Grill several weeks ago…read more It was our first time coming to this location and, overall, the experience was decent. The food was okay, service was professional, and the overall ambiance of the establishment left a lot to be desired. Zaky Mediterranean Grill is located in a shopping center along Sierra Lakes Parkway. There is plenty of free parking shared among the businesses. We came in on a weekday at lunch. There was one other group in the establishment with us for most of the meal, so not a lot of heavy foot traffic at the time of our visit. Service was professional and efficient. Our order consisted of - 1/4 chicken bowl with rice and garlic sauce - a steak kabob wrap Portions were on the smaller side, especially for the price. We couldn't determine how fresh the food was either. It wasn't bad, but not everything tasted like it was made freshly. They also had this large oversized fan/cooling unit running. It was placed in an awkward place that would only cool people heading to the trash can. With that said, when the people from the other group went to throw their trash away, the unit was so strong it blew their trash onto our food. A big downer for us for sure! Our visit to Zaky Mediterranean Grill was not awful, but also not great. We would consider returning, but it definitely isn't a first choice for us.

I've never had this type of cuisine so I was curious to try it. They recommended the curry dishes but I ended up getting the mixed tandoori platter to try it all. With the amount of meats it comes with, I love that it is good for hitting my protein goals and still even enough to split into several meals. It also comes with a basket of fresh naan. It was served on a hot skillet so the meats and onions were flavorful and nicely charred. Even leaving the restaurant at 3pm, there were couples and families still coming in to eat. Definitely a fun spot to check out and a great first impression to Pakistan cuisine!
