What's the old adage? You got ta give credit, where credits due-even for the little things! And that credit this time around goes to server Angel J, (not pictured), the CSA, or customer service All-Star of this experience. I probably eat at the same spots over and over more often than most. Why? Because as much as I love the food, I love to see the same people over and over.....and over again. This is, to a degree, perhaps the New Orleans influence that I came up under. Ask most serious New Orleans natives who have dined everywhere (from the old restaurants that have been around for over 100 years or more to the local hole in the walls), and they'll tell you to a man or to a woman that once they've come to expect the same quality of food, what they really desire most is to see their favorite server. Some of these servers ultimatey! by extension, go on to become friends of the family, and perhaps even considered family. This is the lens with which I see the dining experience as a whole, but anything where repeat business is concerned. Without having to ask him, Angel J brought me these top-tier napkins on two occasions when I needed them most. Perhaps he saw my sloppy face and hands! Lol How many of you have been to restaurants or eateries in the past three or four years and noticed the quality of the napkins are absolute garbage? Well, here at Panini they're top tier, and that nice touch alone and Angel's llevel of attentiveness made this an A-1 experience. Thanks Angel J, your a credit to the Panini brand. read more

My coworkers and I patiently waited for this location to open because we heard great things about this restaurant and it quickly became a favorite. We order takeout at least once a week, and every single experience has been consistently great. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. My favorite is the chicken kabox and chicken pesto panini with a chicken soup on the side, soooo good! The staff is always incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, they now know us by name. Our orders are always ready on time and exactly right, which makes the whole experience easy and enjoyable. It's rare to find a place that gets it right every time, but Panini Kabob Grill definitely does. Highly recommend! read more

Had a catered lunch and tried their wraps for the first time. First off, one half of a wrap plus salad filled me up! Falafel wrap - delicious, love the mild seasoning, plenty of falafel with cucumbers, tomato chunks and lettuce. Was filling but light. Ate it with amazing cucumber dill yogurt that was not sour. Grilled chicken wrap - chicken had great flavor, also recommend. Their hummus tasted great and I love the balsamic vinegar-based salad dressing. There wasn't a lot of cheese or olives in the salad, perhaps taken by vegetarians who got lunch before me! They may be a franchise restaurant, but the food is fresh, craveable and healthy. read more

Overall incredible experience. It's located in the Westfield Culver City Mall. We stopped by to grab some good to go. Roberto the store manager was fantastic. He greeted us and helped with our order, gave us recommendations. While we waited we grabbed a bite to eat. We had the Caprese appetizer, a perfect snack for us. The staff were great too! It was around lunch time and it was starting to get busy. There's best team work. Their good is always amazing and right never were left Roberto surprised us with a birthday ice cream drive he had heard it was my husbands birthday. Very sweet! They are other places to grab a bite to eat but I highly recommend stopping here if you haven't tried them. read more

Great food . Huge portions. Reasonably priced. Pretty restaurant. Cozy corner tables. Easy parking.

I hate to write this review because I've loved Panini Kabob for years and have visited many of its locations, but this particular location is poorly managed and has the worst service I've experienced. We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday. There were only three tables seated inside and one outside, and we were told to sit anywhere. I chose a table in the corner, and then we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. During that time, the server who eventually waited on us was taking drink orders from two other tables, retrieving them, and delivering them. I'm not sure why a busser couldn't have dropped off the drinks, especially since after delivering them, the server then took the order of a table that arrived after us. I also want to note that there were two servers on duty. Had we been properly seated instead of told to sit anywhere, this situation may have been handled differently. read more

We always love panini and grill across multiple locations including Marina Del Rey and Century City Mall. They used to have one in Playa Vista but closed during the pandemic. This one seems new, so we ordered our usual (chicken kabab with a side salad), as well as a new item in the menu Salmon and Brie sandwich. It is very tasty and you can tell the j gradients are of high quality. Our order was to go, and we were pleasantly surprised to see they have a separate area just for pickup, unlike the MDR store where pickup is mixed with the line for sit down, creating a bunch of confusions during peak times. read more

We were here today. We had 16 in our party and we sat in the patio. From the moment we arrived we were nicely cared for by the staff. The tables were set up for us and this is without a reservation. They catered to our needs and the food was delicious. We ordered a variety of things kebab rice salads pastas a couple of bottles of Pinot Grigio which complimented the meal nicely. I have to mention this , our server Polly was absolutely adorable and she hustled. She kept a smile on her face while handling all 16 of us. She is a huge compliment to your restaurant. You can see her in one of the pictures. I highly recommend this restaurant. Our group was having such a good time I completely forgot to take pictures of the food. read more

I gave it a three because the food was good. However, the customer service was bad we got seated and did not bring any folks, water. It literally took 30 minutes for a server to come and get our order. I had to ask the host to get our server. And it still took about another 5 minutes. I was seeing other people coming in and getting seated, handing out there folks, water, and getting their orders. It's not fair that we being neglected. Overall the experience I had was not it for me. Service was 1/10. read more

I enjoy Marina del Rey location often, so I was really happy that the service and food was just as good. It's nice and big on the side of the mall where Trader Joe's is on the other side of the parking lot. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Our server was friendly and prompt. I always get the chicken skewers and this time I substituted getting extra grilled veggies instead of the rice. Delicious and healthy! read more

Shout out to Panini Kabob grill who catered a work event with some amazing Mediterranean food! I ended up with a tray of tofu, that was mistaken for salmon on the paper internally from the host but was it absolutely worth every bite. I'm a tofu fan but this was the best I've ever had. The texture, consistency and over all flavor you'd be surprised when you found out it was tofu! The trays came with perfectly cooked rice. Grilled veggies, pita and the best hummus I've ever eaten packed full of garlic. I'll be hunting this out when I'm back in the region again. read more

Located in the Westfield Culver City Mall (Fox Hills) between Macy's and JCPenney with plenty of parking. It's along the parking lot so there's also patio seating. As a big fan of Mediterranean food and other Panini Kabob Grill locations, I was really happy to see this one. The food was delicious. I had the 'Beef Koobideh Kabob' entree with Mediterranean salad and Basmati Rice. It was cooked perfectly, healthy, and satisfying, with that authentic Panini Kabob Grill flavor I've come to love. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and well-organized. The service was outstanding. A huge shout-out to our server Angel...he was amazing, super attentive, helpful with the menu, and ensured we had a wonderful dinner. We wanted dessert and coffee to-go, but since it was closing time, they didn't have coffee ready. Without hesitation, Angel took the time to brew fresh coffee for us. Overall, we had a great experience at this location. read more

We came to the restaurant and no body greeted us or offer us anything they only look at us or helped us and then our waiter was taking our order and we didn't even finish with our order and she was walking away and then when she brought the food she made a bad unnecessarily comment , the comment was try your food because you always say something is wrong and u always return it and she laughed. The name of this waiter is Lizeth I , this is her name read more

I love that the pick up is separate from the sit in dining area they have. I love the family chicken kabob platter because it's a lot of food and it's so yummy. I also love their strawberry lemonade! read more

Our group went on a Sunday, in the early afternoon. There were 8 of us, and we were talking, laughing, and crafting (it's true). The staff, particularly our waitress (Esmeralda), took it all in stride and kept us on track, so we ordered, received our food, had our drinks refilled, and had boxes (so many boxes because there was so much food!). We were boisterous and needy, yet Esmeralda kept her composure and was cheerful and professional. She also took photos of our table for us. The service was great. The food was excellent -- even as leftovers (that sometimes isn't true, you know). And the experience was beyond our expectations. Definitely recommend. read more

Background On Visit: Wanted to eat somewhere close by to where we were. Our other option was Benny's Taco's, but we decided to eat at Panini Kabob Grill instead. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: They're available to be used. Location/Parking: Located in the Culver City Westfield Mall. Parking can be found in the shared lot. Could be hard to find parking closer to the restaurant. Ambiance/Decor: Cool ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service could be better. One of the staffers situated us away from the main dining area. It was a bit hard flagging them down to tend to our needs. Food Of Choice: Hummus Trio: I love to eat hummus and I think hummus loves me eating them also. There were three flavors: Regular hummus, spicy red bell pepper hummus, and edamame hummus. Loved the variety and love the different flavor profile. Salmon Kabob Plate: Salmon plate was very good and they gave a decent amount of salad. Salmon pieces were grilled nicely and was tender. Panini Kabob Grill: I wouldn't mind coming back. I'll make it a point to eat in the main dining area. Perhaps service will be better next time. read more

Went Saturday and again had the misfortune of bring served by Elizabeth. We were a party of 6 and had taken friends who'd never had panini kabob grill before. We were embarrassed when the service was off to a bad start. Elizabeth had us follow her to a table and then she placed our menus down and walked away. It took a while for her to return to our table to take our drink orders. Even when she engaged her demeanor was cold and almost annoyed as if she didn't want to be at work. We ordered drink and she placed all of them in front of two first time guests. So our friends were the ones who had to pass out the drinks to the rest of the table. When Elizabeth finally returned to take our order it had taken so long we omitted ordering appetizers as we feared it would take forever to get them. We ordered two family meals and Nate brought our salads over. He realized we hadn't been provided plates or utensils so he also brought those over. When the food came out it was again Nate who brought it over but the kabobs were warm not hot, possibly from sitting at the window for a while. Nate was really kind so we didn't want to give him a hard time and decided to let it slide as the food was still enjoyable. The chicken was especially tender which was a nice plus. Our friends really enjoyed the meat, chicken, veggies and rice. They were impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. About half way through our meal Elizabeth finally reappeared to ask if we needed anything. We finally requested our first and only refills as all the drinks were empty by this point. We were frustrated with the lack of service on her part and commented on how Nate the supervisor seemed to be doing most of the work. I even saw a customer sitting in the corner who waited almost 20 minutes to order because Elizabeth kept walking past her. It wasn't until the solo customer started tapping the menu on her head that Elizabeth noticed her again... Later I had to get up to request more peppers are we couldn't get Elizabeth's attention. A short time later she noticed we were finishing up our meal and brought the bill and some boxes. Due to the amount of left overs we had we needed more. When I got her attention to ask for more boxes she saw the tab was ready to be paid in cash so she immediately dashed to pick up the tab. She brought back the changed and left it at the table without saying anything and forgot the additional boxes. I decided we'd had enough of her disregard and disrespectful behavior so when Nate walked by we asked to speak to him. While we spoke with Nate Tonisha had shown up and started her shift. The super woman she is she had immediately began to clean up the mess that had been left by a party behind us that left 45 minutes earlier. Suddenly I also noticed Elizabeth suddenly began sweeping and checking on her remaining tables. Her behavior shifted as if she wanted to seem more productive than she had been the past hour. Elizabeth seemed to over hear our conversation with Nate because when she walked past our table she glared at our party. After we spoke to Nate who apologized for the experience not being up to standard Tonisha also stopped by. She remembered us from our previous visits and also extended her apologies. We told her Nate and herself were excellent leaders who set a great example but we understand that some people simply don't care. Both Tonisha & Nate welcomes us back and promised the next visit would be exceptional and encouraged us to remind them if there is someone else we'd like as a server. Nate even offered to personally help us on our next visit. As the food is great, parking ample and seating usually readily available we like this location. The food is always fresh, delicious and good quality. I highly recommend this location however equally emphasize to avoid being served by Elizabeth if customer service matters to you. All in all if not for Tonisha and Nate salvaging the visit and leaving our first time friends with a great impression they could of lost business of potentially new customers. I would love to hear back from the district manager or owner so that we can emphasize how wonderful Nate & Tonisha are... but also address Elizabeth's pattern of poor customer service. read more

Didn't really enjoy my visit here. I walked in and there wasn't anyone at the front so I went to the register and stood around for a bit. One of the staff told me to "Sit anywhere free" so I did so, until another server came to me and asked me to move to another seat. Not a big deal but why? After that I ordered which was fine. It took some time for my food to come out, but not egregiously. I would say 15 minutes. I got the beef koobideh kabob plate. The koobideh kebab skewers themselves were okay, not super flavorful. The rice was small in quantity, made up for by a large amount of salad. The yogurt sauce it came with was pretty good. Overall I wasn't that impressed by the food but it was serviceable. Service was fine, a little chaotic despite the fact that the restaurant wasn't that busy. The main annoyance I had was that when I was paying, they handed me a console and then it brought up tip options: 15%, 20%, 25%. I usually tip 20% but I always find it a bit cringey when your servers stare at you point blank while you pick a choice, worse that the console only had 3 choices with no custom option. Anyway, I probably won't go back here. read more

We went to Panini Kebab today to celebrate my brother's birthday, and it turned into one of the worst dining experiences we've ever had. We ordered several family-style plates for our group, and right away things went downhill. The first dish that came out had a large bug in it that looked like a cockroach. When we brought it to the waitress, she took it to the manager--who actually tried to tell us it must have fallen from the ceiling while the plate was being served. That explanation alone was shocking. They replaced the dish, but it only got worse. My nephew took a bite of the replacement chicken and it was completely raw inside. At that point, we sent the food back again, completely uncomfortable continuing the meal. The manager came out and offered dessert as an apology, but for a party of 8, he brought out only two small pieces of pastry with a single scoop of ice cream--and then told us they had no spoons because the dishwasher was backed up, so we'd have to share plastic ones. It honestly felt insulting given everything that had already happened. When we asked for the meal to be comped (which felt more than reasonable considering the situation), the manager initially refused and said he could only comp one dish. After pushing back, he reluctantly agreed to comp two dishes--but that still didn't reflect the seriousness of serving contaminated and undercooked food. Now, hours later, I'm feeling nauseous, likely from either the raw chicken or the unsanitary conditions. This was beyond disappointing--it was unsafe, poorly handled, and completely lacking accountability. We will never return. Given the severity of what happened--finding what appeared to be a cockroach in our food and being served raw chicken--I will be reporting this incident to the local health department. This is not just about a bad dining experience, but about serious health and safety concerns that need to be addressed read more

This is my first time at this restaurant and I was very impressed! We were greeted by Danny and he gave my friend and I great service and a wonderful welcoming smile.

Panini Kabob Grill - Missing half portion of the chicken - Mediterranean Near Me - Culver City, California

I love Mediterranean/ Middle Eastern food. In fact, the Cava by my house is my new go to spot. However, there is a Panini Kabob Grill in what I know as the Fox Hills Mall near my Mother's house and I actually think it's better than Cava. I've been there twice now and both times the food was excellent, the portions are massive, and the prices are right. The last time I went, I ordered a falafel plate that came with 10 falafels, salad, pita, and massive portions of hummus for 12 bucks. When you order a falafel bowl at Cava you get two falafels for like 16 bucks. I've also had their paninis which are equally as good. If I had one gripe about this place it would be that it is slow. Now I've only been there on Tuesday evenings which is a slow time, so I get that they would staff accordingly. Considering that this is a chain, I'm also not sure if this is the same at all locations, but honestly the food is good enough to look past the slow service. The service is friendly, just don't expect to catch a quick bite here. Honestly, if I had a choice, I'd choose this place over Cava almost every time- unless I was in a hurry. read more

My first time here and I had a great experience and Lisette was amazing! Thank you so much! I will definitely come back.

This branch of Panini Kabob Grill opened in the last year or so and is well worth the visit. Though a part of the mall, it faces the street, allowing for an outdoor patio experience (there is a secondary patio within the mall as well). The fusion - med choices do not disappoint, as there is something for everyone, non-veg, vegetarian, and vegan. Delicious dishes, cooked with real food in real-time. A wonderful place to take family and friends - as good as it gets. read more

Omg this was to die for! I had the chicken kabobs with rice and salad. When I tell you the flavors were everything!
