You order at the cash register and they bring the food to your table. I stopped by for takeout. The worker at the register was very friendly and helpful. He informed me it would take around 12 minutes to get my food but it came out nice and hot so I can't complain about the wait for fresh food. I got two orders of the beef shawarma plate. The portions were big. I think we could have shared one plate as we ended up having left overs. We also got some baklava for dessert. Everything was delicious. The prices here are very fair. We will definitely stop by again to try their other dishes.

I ordered a gyro, and I was disappointed by the portion size, it was noticeably very small for what you pay. Additionally, the pita bread clearly tasted prepackaged rather than made fresh, which really takes away from the overall quality you expect from a Greek spot. It works in a pinch if you need a quick pickup meal, but between the small portions and the pre-made pita, it was a pretty average experience overall.

HOWEVER, this most recent order did leave us questioning couple things. Chicken Shawarma was dry this time and seems to have shrunk in quantity AND the pieces were VERY chopped up so didn't really get a good bite. Not much sauce/flavoring either. Compared to our first time ordering this... super disappointed. Not sure if we will order this again because of quality/quantity control. The Works... the size of the grape leaves seemed to have shrunk in half?? Not anything close to what we got the last time ordering this combo platter. Taste was great but it went from "busting out the seems fully wrapped" to "single bite size". Also, they missed the yogurt that comes along with each platter. Last time they missed some add-on sauces we paid extra for also. We even called to ask they double check the sauces because we didn't receive the correct items last time. First 2 orders were perfection and then these past 2 orders had some issues. Overall, I would give 3.5 Stars at this point.

These many people can only mean one thing, that the food is delicious! I loved their huge menu with food for anyone's tastes. As a Pescatarian it's hard to find salmon at Mediterranean food places and Green Olive had several plates to choose salmon and shrimp. I ordered their Salmon Kabob plate that came with yummy rice, a salad, hummus and a pita. It was served with a garlic white sauce and a green slightly spicy sauce. I drizzled both on the kabobs and rice and everything blended perfectly. The salmon was seasoned so well and was so tender! It was perfectly cooked because it retained the softness salmon needs. I also got a pistachio cheesecake that was so light and delicious without being overly sweet. It was a perfect ending to an amazing food plate. The ambiance had average loud noise level since it is small on the inside, however they have plenty of outdoor seating which is where we sat. Even though there are other Mediterranean places close to me, I can see myself going to this location because of their expansive menu.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.

I've also tried their Chicken Kebab & Salmon Kebab Plate, and this has been my go-to item now. Every time the proteins were grilled to perfection. Each dish comes with a grilled tomato, rice, salad, and pita bread. As far as the desserts, I got the Kataifi with cream, which was solid. I've only ordered here via delivery apps, so I'm not sure about the ambiance of the restaurant but they definitely package my to-go orders very well--making sure that nothing spills out!

I understand if they sold out but they didn't even say anything and let me walk out like I wouldn't notice. The hummus tasted like water and no soul. Definitely didn't taste like it contained chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, salt, or lemon juice. The rice looked like rice, but it smelled and tasted like gasoline, which means they either used too much saffron or it was cheap or old. The chicken was too burnt I couldn't taste anything else. The sauces couldn't even save it they were just too sour/lemony. The beef had too much fat in it, not very good quality for the price - $20+ shawarma. The fries were the best part

There are so many different kebabs to choose from, and I've yet to have one that wasn't delicious. My personal favorites are the steak and the chicken--both are incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. One thing you absolutely cannot skip is the edamame hummus. I had never even heard of edamame hummus before coming here, and now I can't believe I went so long without trying it. It was smooth, fresh, and full of flavor while putting such a unique twist on traditional hummus. It's one of those dishes that completely changes your expectations and has you thinking about it long after you've left the restaurant. On top of the amazing food, the service was outstanding. Everyone made us feel genuinely welcome, and the atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and perfect whether you're grabbing a casual lunch or having dinner with friends or family. The menu is packed with so many dishes that I still want to try, which just gives me another reason to keep coming back. Panini Kabob Grill continues to deliver an incredible experience, and I can't recommend it enough.
