This is the most delicious, scrumptious and well prepared clean eating I've experienced in decades! I opted for the panini salmon the first time I visited and it was so fulfilling for lunch that I just passed on dinner. The atmosphere is crowded which explains why the food is so tasty! Our waiter was cheery attentive and blessed the table with a smile every round she made while keeping our meeting uninterrupted. Whoever you are we loved the way you moved in silence and to be honest we didn't even know you were present! For the following day of our conference I went with the Strawberry date salad which included Mixed Greens, Strawberries, Candied Walnuts, Dates, Gorgonzola Cheese and Pomegranate Vinaigrette It was awesome and my peers loved it as well while there was plenty of paid parking we chose the brisk walk from the convention center which was well worth it but a shared ride is always a great option for a group! Thanks Panini Kabob Grill we will return for a repeat visit soon ! read more

Last night was our initial experience with dining from Panini Kabob Grill; we ordered at/from their downtown Long Beach location on Broadway. They offer flavorful and substantial menu items; however, as advised by friends, the preparation process can be relatively slow, with our two panini sandwiches and appetizer taking approximately thirty minutes to be ready for our pickup. Nonetheless, the quality of the food justified the wait. We ordered the House Specialty Hummus Trio, of which we have leftovers. All three varieties met our expectations, with the edamame hummus particularly standing out to me. Regarding the panini sandwiches (shared between two people) we had the Salmon Brie Panini and the Tofu Pesto Panini. The Salmon Brie Panini was enjoyable, though slightly fishy tasting. The Tofu Pesto Panini distinguished itself through its exceptional flavor, texture, and creativity. Overall, we were pleased with our experience and look forward to returning in the future. read more

Two stars related to for pickup service only. I placed an online order for pickup, and deliberately selected a time before the lunch rush. It was one item. I arrived about 3-4 mins after the selected pickup time. The gentleman at the takeout counter had his back turned to the line - there were two people in front of me. It took him a few minutes to acknowledge since as he was packing orders: definitely understood, but it is common practice to at least acknowledge people and not have your back turned to them the entire time. I waited for my already-paid-for online order for approximately 25 minutes, which I consider very extreme since my order was for falafel and hummus. Not to mention, people who called in orders and had not yet paid were provided their orders with no wait time (other than the line to pay for their food). The food was great, as always, but efficiency and service was lacking today. read more

After a full morning at Santa Monica Beach and Venice, it was decided it was Mediterranean lunch, so we headed to Panini Kabob. Upon arriving at the place the wait staff sat us at a booth. Water was served and we ordered this platter! The salad was part of the platter and the rest of the platter was the meal. The ambience was quiet, meal was perfect for four people. read more

Came here for lunch and we were seated right away. It did take a while for the food to come out though. We only had a one hour lunch break and I think it took around 30 minutes before our meals arrived, so we ended up feeling pretty rushed trying to finish everything. The portions are also really big, so I definitely wish we had more time to enjoy it. I got the tuna panini with the avocado salad. The tuna was really yummy and flavorful. I was expecting the cheese in the panini to be more melted, but it was still a little cold. The avocado was fresh and the lemon dressing was so good and really brought everything together. read more

This is a beautiful location within the LBX center--but not in the busiest hub, so it was a little more relaxing. It's nicely decorated, and the weather was perfect for us to enjoy dinner on the outside patio. We enjoyed the food, though it's Persian oriented, so different from the more Greek-type Mediterranean food we're used to. The lamb kebabs had a sweeter spice, and the pilaf was definitely different, with both sweet and savory flavors. My husband's salmon pasta was very good, with large, tender chunks of salmon. Portions are generous, and it's nice to have both salad and rice included. read more

Panini kabob was an oasis as we walked rounding beach.. the outside seating was welcoming and at a really busy cross roads to watch people. We started with the hummus trio - wow- the roasted red pepper was OMG!! I took the suggestion from Adrian ( our server ) to try the chicken pesto- It was buttery, well grilled and pesto was flavor filled. My Wife loved the steak panini.. panini kabob is must try- but make sure to sit outside!!! read more

My husband picked me up at Long Beach Airport after one of my trips so we stopped here for dinner. He ordered the Flat Iron Steak Kabob and I got the Jumbo Shrimp Kabob. They both were $20.99 but we upgraded to Strawberry Date salad for a $1.99 additional charge. Was it worth it, no it was not. I think I found maybe one piece of date in mine and barely any strawberry. My husband faired slightly better. The shrimp were ok, pretty dry. Service was not great. Maybe our server was new or just feeling overwhelmed. I should have ordered the Caprese Panini ($13.99). Maybe next time. read more

One of my favorite places to eat in Long Beach, California!! Ambiance: Welcoming, with plenty of tables inside, but I enjoy sitting outside under the patio furniture with decorative lights and beautiful plants. Service: Always a pleasure, with quick service. Food: For an appetizer on a cloudy day, the Green Lentil Soup is my go to! The best panini sandwich thus far is the Chicken Pesto Panini! Grilled to perfection, seasoned just right, melting in your mouth after every bite! See you back soon PKG!! read more

It was actually pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Location wise it's good as it's downtown near the library and corporate offices but weekend, it's quiet. Restaurants itself is pretty big both with inside and covered patio. Walked in and was offered to sit wherever we liked. Patio was nice as the inside so freakin cold. It's been years since I was last inside one of the restaurant. Menu still looked the same give or take a few items that looked new to me. Waitress was great and sweet. She was also the one that greeted us. Started off with some beers which was priced well. I remember potion were quite big so we just shared the hummus trio and two kabobs combination. Trio of hummus, spicy red bell peppers, edamame and garlic and olive oil. They were excellent, each one had their own flavors and plenty on the plate. A good amount of the pita as well as a side salad accompanied the dish. Highly recommend this. And the beef combination with two kabobs. Worth the price adding a second kabobs. That was served with rice and a salad. Theres options with rice and salad but I went Greek salad and white rice. First off, it's massive so good for sharing or plenty of leftovers. The meat was cooked well and very flavorful. Not dry at all but very juicy. Rice and the salad was a perfect paring to everything. It also came with grilled veggies, onion tomatoes and bell peppers. It was a while since I had this plate and the first bite, it was worth it. Food was excellent. Service was good. Street parking available. Not sure if there's a private lot that's part of the restaurant but a paid lot nearby. read more

I met a friend here for lunch last week and I arrived first. It's downtown LB, so parking can be tricky. I parked a couple of blocks away and the walk was perfect. I walked inside and it seems like you order at the counter. But I noticed an outside area and opted for that. There were nice heaters and a server takes your order. Miguel was an absolute charmer! He explained some of the dishes to me and managed to make us laugh with his sweet "flirting". He charmed the two of us. We could both be his abuelas! My meal was top tier. The beef was extremely flavorful and the salad added just the right amount of sweetness. The rice was rice. I loved it here, 10/10, highly recommend. read more

This location is the closest to my bf's house and I was craving for their chicken kebab and falafels. Panini Cafe smacks! When I worked in Newport Beach years ago, I frequented the Irvine location all the time for lunch! We decided on the mezza platter which came with 3 kinds of hummus, warm pita and falafels. He had the koobideh platter and of course, I had the chicken kebabs plate and everything is so delicious! We had leftovers for days! Will definitely come back here again! read more

Went to this place for lunch, was in walking distance from the Long Beach Court office. They were pretty busy for lunchtime, cashier person was training and was a bit overwhelmed. Ended up getting a steak Panini with grilled bellpeppers and onions, and no mushrooms. Honestly, it was about a 30 minute wait for my food. The items were a little bit on the pricier side. I really enjoyed the steak Panini. It also came with a side of soup. I got chicken and vegetable soup. It tasted like the soup had a tomato broth. To my surprise it was actually better than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my meal. read more

I want to thank my sister for choosing this place to have her bday dinner, we came here for lunch once before but since have forgotten about it until I returned with the whole family and it was a good time with amazing food. No complaints for anyone, everyone was quiet and busy eating and totally enjoyed their dishes. May I say, my bf doesn't care for restaurant food but he actually did say something positive about his steak panini that was paired with a yummy salad we both enjoyed and since I ordered a chicken pasta, it was perfect. He also took my leftovers for lunch and did not hesitate when I offered it the next day & he asked, "You sure?" Well yes, I want to return and can't have you say you didn't enjoy it, man. The problem is to choose one item! Which is an indication you know you will be back! We had some appetizers, the hummus are amazing, salads are fresh and down to the pasta are creamy and delicious. Items are not salty but nutritious. No wonder it is always packed. read more

My husband and I love this place! You get more bang for your buck here that's for sure! Service is always top notch and I love having lunch and dinner here with my family and friends. It's a very family friendly place and there is outside and inside seating. The food comes out hot! All of the ingredients that they use are definitely fresh! We celebrate birthday brunch here and just fun date nights! It gets really busy during lunch hour and dinner- we never wait long though. They have a great selection & I think it's pretty healthy too! We are creatures of habit so we always order the same thing, but sometimes I like to switch it up a bit. I tried something new last week and it made me want to give it a great review! My husband always orders the Combo plate & this time I got the Strawberry date salad- omg it was sooo delicious. You're probably thinking it's just a salad and you can make at home, which I'm sure you can- but this was sooo yummy! It was sweet and sour and packed all the flavors of savory goodness! I mean if you love blue cheese, dates, walnuts & strawberries! You got a perfect salad right there! Haha read more

Had takeout from Panini Kabob Grill with some friends and it definitely hit the spot. I love me some authentic middle eastern food and this spot is serving up the classics. When the food arrived it was packaged well and the dishes were organized. It was easy to figure out whose was whose. The portion sizes are extremely generous. You can definitely split each dish if you wanted to. We had a lot of leftovers. I like that the to go portions are organized well with meat to one side and veggies on the other. The containers were spill/leak proof so that this is a great spot for takeaway. I had the chicken kabob plate which came with rice and grilled veggies. The chicken was super tasty and juicy. I love the charred flavor that they get on the chicken and veggies. The rice was the only bite I didn't 100% love, tastes a little dry and overcooked. Otherwise those as a cohesive dish it was definitely a 4/5 and tasty overall. The sides of hummus and cucumber yogurt sauce were both very very good. I'm happy I went with the chicken as I didn't love the beef kabobs as much. Their breads here are fanatic. The pita was very soft and fresh. I also loved their grilled regular bread. Tasted so good to dip in their sauces and dips. Absolutely loved it. This is a very tasty spot in Long Beach if you're craving middle eastern food. They have a couple of other locations so definitely check them out. read more

Pleasantly surprised! I ordered the chicken Cesar wrap with a Mediterranean salad. The wrap was GOOD! It came with a dipping sauce that was delicious too. The salad wasn't that good.

Finally great Persian food in Long Beach. Thank you!! I love going here always a good time and a good crowd.

I'm very disappointed with my experience. I ordered and paid for 6 food items, but only received 3. It's frustrating to pay for something and not get what you ordered. This caused a lot of inconvenience and I expect better service and better attention to customer's orders. I hope the restaurant improves its quality control and makes sure customers receieve everything they pay for. Based on this experience, I can't recommend this restaurant. read more

Came here for a mid afternoon lunch with a customer. I had never been to any of the various Panini Kabob Grills around prior, but love Mediterranean food so happy to try it. We had the spot almost to ourselves when we walked in, it was very late afternoon, but soon after a number of people came in to dine in and take out. Their motto is "Healthier Mediterranean Food" which I am all about. I must say they lived up to that motto. The food was delicious and tasted clean and really fresh. The meat is free of antibiotics and hormone free. Only using the top ingredients. I got the charbroiled ABF chicken shish kabob, with grilled vegetables, brown rice and greek salad. The menu says "this is a must", they are not wrong or overhyping this dish when the say that. I really loved it! The chicken was grilled perfectly with amazing flavor and tenderness. The vegetables and the brown rice was equally delicious and full of flavor. The Greek salad was fresh and crisp, dressing was subtle but paired perfectly. I am giving them super high marks across the board, from the food, service, presentation ambiance of the restaurant, etc. everything was really great, thank you. There are a number of these Panini Kabob Grills around in So Cal, do yourself a favor and go get some delicious food. Enjoy! read more
