    Beef Koobideh Kabob
    Tara F.

    This location is located in a big plaza so there's plenty of parking. Came here on Sunday and there was a wait for about 30 minutes and so they get your number down and they text you when your table is ready. Staff was nice and hospitable, and the food came out promptly. We ordered the beef koobideh plate(2 skewers) includes race, grilled vegetables in your choice of salad. The sampler appetizer which comes with three types of hummus, tzatziki, falafel, Caprese salad, and pieces of pita bread, but we also asked for slices of cucumber to dip with as well, which is available upon request. The food is always good and fresh here so if you're looking for a good Mediterranean cuisine, they've got good options here for the whole family to enjoy. They also have another location in downtown Long Beach as well.

    I've been to Panini Kebab Grill twice in the last month, even though it's down in Long Beach. That speaks to the variety that is available there and what makes it a good dining option. The first time I went, I went and met up with a former coworker for lunch, and we had a great time. I ordered the strawberry date salad with chicken, which was nice and refreshing. The second time actually took a family member there for a birthday dinner. I ended up getting the chicken shish kebab. That plate came with rice, salad, and several pieces of chicken. It was very, very filling. Additionally, we saw another table having a little birthday celebration. So we requested the same and they came and sang to my family member, which was really nice - and they comped our ice cream sundae. Definitely would recommend, definitely would go back again, when I'm in the Long Beach area. Afterwords, there's plenty of places around for dessert if you are thinking of that too!

    Food is delish! Ordered chicken & beef kabob. It comes with salad & rice and yummy sauce. Be careful with the food I encounter with some hard part of the food. I'm not sure if it's bone or rock. Service is good. Adrian is seems like his by himself serving. He has help with water boy. Ambiance is good. I love the outdoor patio. It's a must to try. Thank you!

    Panini Kabob is on my top list in terms of service and quality. Before I entered, the outside already looked so modern with an exquisite addition of Mediterranean cuisine style. I waited for the waiter to finish serving the tables. I assume that today was a busy day for the restaurant so I patiently waited for a few seconds. Didn't wait too long and I was immediately seated near the door. The tables are cleaned and the inside ambiance feels like a modern day tavern. From the center, the kitchen is visible, with winery stacked just above the counter. Quite convenient and pleasant. There are tons of paintings all around the inside of the restaurant. Outside, there is a nice patio with little red lights that illuminate the front. Ordered the Chicken Wrap. The food arrived at perfect time, but what made the experience more remarkable was not only the quality of the food, but how kind and respectful the waiter was. He was open to assist to every need and very considerate of the orders. The chefs also did a good job with making the chicken very flavorful and merging the taste of the fresh vegetables with the tenderness of the chicken. The experience is wonderful and I hope to come again soon. Thank you for the great first experience, Panini Kabob Grill.

    Another highly satisfying dinner at Panini Kebab grill. The food is always on point. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable. The restaurant is always packed and lively. I Love the music selection that plays in the background. The atmosphere is chill, warm and inviting. The service is excellent and comes with a smile. Today I tried the Lamb Kebab for the first time. It was cooked medium and was super tender. I am a regular here. I Love panini Kebab Grill and I always recommend it.

    Ambiance: Moderate noise, colorful picture frames inside, patio tables & heaters for outside vibe (1 star). Service: Outstanding service! I arrived in the late evening and upon entering I was about to sit down at a table, and the hostess stated if you sit here the air from the door can be really cold. This may not seem like much but to me it meant a lot, because I can stand being cold Waitress was efficient and quick (2 stars). Food: For a starter, the FALAFEL COMBO APPETIZER was freshly made. For Entrees, Strawberry Date Salad with added salmon and CHICKEN PESTO PANINI (a must try) was sooo delicious!! For dessert, Baclava for the win (3 stars)! Thank you Panini Kabob Grill for continuing to provide great service and mouthwatering food!

    Meat Lovers Kabob Plate

    Today, my family and I had lunch at Panini Kabob Grill for the first time. It's actually funny that it took me this long to try it, especially knowing how many people love this place. But today was finally the day and it did not disappoint. From the moment we sat down, we were blown away by the wonderful service. Our waitress, Celeste, was truly the highlight of our visit. She was so attentive and had that rare, comforting presence...like someone you've known for years, even though you just met. We had a few questions about the menu, and she confidently walked us through everything, offering thoughtful recommendations that we all ended up loving. We ordered the Atlantic salmon kabob plate, the flat iron kabob plate, and the meat lovers kabob plate. Every dish was cooked to perfection. The meats were incredibly moist and flavorful, with a beautiful char from the grill on the outside while staying tender and juicy inside. The basmati rice was absolutely delicious...fluffy, buttery, and a perfect complement to the plates. Definitely a 10/10. My mom ordered the strawberry date salad and couldn't stop raving about it. Another 10/10. I also tried the trio of hummus with pita. The hummus itself was great, but I'd give this dish a 7/10 because the pita wasn't anything special. It was a bit cold and tasted store-bought. That said, I have to circle back to Celeste because she truly made our experience exceptional. She is hands-down a star server...the kind of person who makes you want to come back. You just wish there were more people like her. We'll definitely be returning.

    GOOD DEAL Mediterranean food is always a bit different. This one is Turkish/ Italian inspired. You got the usual hummus and kabobs. Falafels all around and all that. This review is for the family style. It's 54.99 and it's enough food for 3-4 people. Comes with two salads ( but extra for the strawberry date salad ) and a whole bunch of chicken kabobs on a platter of rice. Check out the photos. It was lacking sauces, or maybe they didn't ask. Fortunately we also ordered the falafel combo and that came with tzatziki and hummus. Service is okay.

    The food is alway good. Service was a little all over the place. This was my first time at this location. I've been to plenty of the others scattered throughout. Location wise, it's great as it's literally in the middle of everything. Part of the Long Beach Exchange and right across the street from The Hanger. They have outdoor patio seating but there was construction going on so it wasn't utilized. Let me say, it was busy. Good for them. It was just after 12 when we walked in. The whole restaurants was packed on both side. It seemed like there was only one person working when we arrived. We got seated as there was an open table but one of the booth was emptied. Asked the waiter if we could have that instead but she said it was for 5 people so we couldn't have it. It was basically you sit where you're told. Anyways, the menu is great. We always start off with the hummus trio. Three massive scoops of hummus with slices of pitas. Each one was excellent in its own way. We had to order extra pita as it was a good amount left over. Entrees, we shared the meat lover, chicken skewers with grilled veggies and a beef skewers. Served with two items which we went with the Greek salad and basmati rice. Meat was tender and juicy. Flavored and seasoned well. It's alway between this dish and the salmon skewers. Food is alway great. It was quite busy when we walked in so seating was basically not an option but towards the end of our meal, people were pretty much sitting wherever as it started to die down. It's prime location at this spot which was quite nice.

    Fresh Atlantic Salmon Kabob
    Czarina G.

    I love panini kabob... this is my favorite location. Everything is so fresh and you can tell. If I'm ever craving Mediterranean food, I will be here. Parking is easy to find, always find it near the location. I always order the entree which comes with your choice of rice and salad. My go to is the beef koobideh skewers (I get two because I share this plate with my husband because it comes with a lot of food!) but they also offer 1 skewer which is enough in my opinion. They are very generous when it comes to portion sizes, they do not skimp out on the rice or salad. It also comes with grilled vegetables and side of tzatziki. I'm not vegetarian or anything but I get the Vegetable Kabob which comes with hummus but I switch it for tzatziki. This comes with zucchini, mushroom, squash, and the traditional tomato, onion, and bell peppers that comes with every kabob entree. My mom enjoys the salmon kabob and like I said they are very generous with the portions... my mom always to gos because it's a lot of food. I love the pita as well, they have appetizers that have more pita/hummus/tzatziki but I just like a small portion and they have if you ask for just a small side of the pita (picture shown). I also always get their strawberry lemonade too. I always recommend this place to everyone. Service is always great, and very clean. It's gets a lot of light indoors but they also have outside seating. Once you try this place, you'll be a fan like me.

    Flat Iron Kabob $22.98
    Kris B.

    My husband picked me up after a flight and the Long Beach Exchange is near by. He'd been before and wanted me to try it. I ordered the Shrimp Kabob plate with Strawberry Date salad. ($22.98) He got the Flat Iron Kabob plate with the same salad. ($22.98) I was hard pressed to find the dates in my salad, my husband faired better. The shrimp were fine, my husband enjoyed his Flat Iron kabob. For me the meal was okay and the total was $50.79 pre-tip. We only had water, just the two entrees.

    Breakfast Family Style
    Thyda S.

    Whenever my family and I cannot decide on what to eat when we want to skip making a mess in our own kitchen and also avoid fast food drive throughs, this is our go to choice. The family platters are always a hit and I feel good about feeding my family a balanced meal that I didn't have to cook myself. Their choice of two salads - we usually go with the Mediterranean salad and the Caesar salad to satisfy our veggie needs. Then it's the perfect basmati rice and the chicken skewers that are perfect... especially alongside the grilled vegetables that go with it. Just... perfect! If you like spicy though, the hot sauce that they offer just doesn't do it enough for me. If I know that I'm coming here, I just throw a bottle of hot sauce in my purse and problem solved! Oh... and the breakfast family style is always a good choice too! Huge variety and just perfect for a family of 4! Overall, solid choice!

    Yes! They have great Koobideh and Chicken Kabob. I highly suggest the Koobideh for sure.

You'll understand what I mean when I rank them so highly. We had one plate with shawarma and fries that was 10/10. Fries were perfectly made even 10 minutes before closing. I ordered the chicken kabob plate with extra salad instead of rice or fries. The hummus is my top 5 in LA. I'm so glad I got to randomly try this after having an itch for Arabic food. Because I told one of the workers how delicious and unreal it was... they gave me a free baklava and refused to let us walk out without it.

Everything was going normally until I got to the sauce options at the end. The employee asked if I wanted barbecue sauce or hot sauce. I didn't hear her clearly at first and said "mild," and she responded in an irritated tone that it was either barbecue sauce or hot sauce. I told her I had never seen the barbecue sauce before and asked what it looked like. She repeatedly just said "it looks like barbecue sauce" instead of simply showing it to me or explaining it. I even asked if she could show me the sauce, and she still responded dismissively and seemed annoyed that I was asking basic questions before deciding what I wanted on my food. What made the interaction worse was that there wasn't even a line or rush happening at the time. I wasn't trying to hold anything up -- I just wanted to know what I was ordering. The receipt listed the employee name as "Estuardo," although the employee helping me was a woman, so the register name may not match the actual employee. I'm leaving this review as constructive feedback because a little patience and friendliness goes a long way with customers.

They have a call button at each table which grabs the wait staffs attention which is helpful. Stopped by here on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was pretty empty. They had 3 wait staff working, but they didn't pay much attention to us despite being the only ones in there. The waiter who took out initial order did help out with initial suggestions though, but didn't go into depth about the dishes-just told us what's popular. Ordered the Mandi lamb and the waiter suggested the chicken dish as it was boneless and had a different taste than the Mandi lamb. Small thing to note here- they don't provide water and charge $2.00 for a bottle. Our meal of 2 dishes, a water, and a karak chai came out to $80.00 which is pretty much expensive in my opinion. Most of their main dishes cost $30.00 but are meant to be shared. The Mandi lamb was good! Nothing extraordinary, but the meat was very tender and juicy. It didn''t have any distinct flavor,but did have the slightest tinge of "gamey lamb" taste still. The rice was super flavorful however and not too greasy which I liked. Overall would recommend ending up here if you're looking to splurge, with a big group of people and in the area.
