    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!

    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!

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.

Instead of simply correcting the mistake, the server argued with us for 5-10 minutes, repeatedly insisting that we had ordered wrong and saying, "You ordered wrong. You cannot returned the plate. The kitchen already cooked it. What is the kitchen going to do with it? Throw it away?" He even suggested that we could buy chicken kabobs separately for $7 ea. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager or owner. The server walked away, then returned, took my sister's plate and brought out the correct chicken plate. Mistakes happen -- we understand that. What was disappointing was the lack of customer service and the arguing instead of simply handling the situation professionally. I have never experienced a server refusing to correct an order and debating with customers over a simple mistake.

That first experience is what made me come back. On my second visit, I ordered the same salad with chicken and lamb because I wanted that same experience again. When I got back to work, I realized the chicken was missing. I did not complain because I still had the lamb and the rest of the salad, and I understand that mistakes happen. Still, it was disappointing because I specifically came back wanting the same complete meal I had the first time. On my third visit, I drove from Gardena to Signal Hill specifically for that salad. After driving back to Gardena, I realized there was no dressing in the bag. I called the restaurant and explained what happened. I was told, "I'm sorry." At first I accepted that, but then I thought, what am I supposed to do with a salad with no dressing? I called back because I wanted to know what could be done. I was told that if I wanted my money back, I would have to bring the salad back to the restaurant. That meant after already driving from Gardena to Signal Hill and back, I was expected to make another trip because of something the restaurant forgot. When I explained that I was disappointed with how the situation was being handled and that I planned to leave a review, the woman on the phone responded, "All this for a dressing?" That comment bothered me more than the original mistake. Yes, it was dressing, but that misses the point. This was already the second time something had been left out of my order. The first time, I let it go. This time, the missing item affected the whole meal. What I would have appreciated was simple customer service. Acknowledge the inconvenience and make an effort to keep the customer. Something as simple as, "We apologize. Unfortunately, we cannot refund you without the food being returned, but on your next visit we will make sure we take care of you," would have completely changed the experience. Even offering a drink next time or simply saying they appreciated my business would have shown that they cared. I also tipped on my takeout order because I believe a tip is a way of showing appreciation for good service and attention to detail. I understand that a tip does not guarantee perfection, but it was disappointing to tip and still receive an incomplete order. There was also something I observed during this visit that concerned me. Someone spilled a drink, and one of the cooks helped clean it up. He wiped the floor while wearing gloves and, from what I could see, appeared to keep the same gloves on when returning to food preparation. That made me uncomfortable. I would have expected the gloves to be changed before handling food again. To be fair, the restaurant itself looks clean, organized, and well maintained. The tables, chairs, counters, and furniture appear to be in good condition. That is one of the reasons I kept giving this place another chance. I wanted to like Pita Pitaki. After my first visit, I thought it might become one of my go to places. Unfortunately, I never really got that same full experience again. My first visit was good. My second visit was missing the chicken. My third visit was missing the dressing, followed by customer service that made me feel like my concern did not matter. You can have good food and a clean restaurant, but customer service still matters. Sometimes how a business handles a mistake matters more than the mistake itself. My advice for anyone ordering takeout here is simple. Double check your order before you leave. Open the bag and make sure you have everything, especially meats, sauces, and dressing. Unfortunately, after giving this place several chances, it is no longer one of my go to spots.
