    Caprese Appetizer
    Ingrid M.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    service and food !!!excellent!!! Everything is good, salad and plates. Thanks to Roberto's attention and service

    The Amazing Polly !

    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.

    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!

    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.

    my experience was awesome! i called to order over the phone and robert took my order. when i went in Robert rang me up and he was kind and efficient. As soon as my food was done Robert bagged it and handed it to me. Thank you Robert for making my pick up experience so welcoming. 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!

    Wonderful Christmas gathering in Northridge Panini Kabob Grill.

    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.

    The food was absolutely delicious. The meat was so juicy and tender. Thank you Robert and team for a wonderful time.

    Amazing experience. Robert was very kind. The food was great should try strawberry salad.

    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.

    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.

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

We had the braised short rib, yellowfin tuna ceviche, whipped ricotta, mussel toast, grilled octopus, bavette steak, rainbow trout, and lamb sirloin.

I had a glass of the Marcio Lopes - Laranja and a glass of the Mammoth Pilsner. Our server, George, was fantastic and he ensured that our glasses were full and explained the preparation of every item. Plus he grabbed a snap of us prior to the meal. Thanks George! This was a memorable outing and I can't wait to come back during lunch time before I leave town. I can't recommend ESMÉ enough.

He brought over water and two menus right after that. The ambiance here is simple and would make for a good place for lunch, a casual meal, or getting takeaway. For appetizers, we ordered two dips: the labne and baba ghanouj. Both were perfectly creamy and flavorsome. They came with toasted pita bread.
