Looking for Delicious Mediterranean food in the SFV? Panini Kabob Grill makes healthier, homemade Mediterranean food with fresh, high-quality ingredients! Great flavors and fresh, generous portions! We ordered: * Lentil Soup * Falafel Combo Appetizer * Beef Koobideh Kabob with Romaine Avocado Salad (FAVE - so flavorful and juicy. The salad is fantastic) * Charbroiled Chicken Shish Kabob with Romaine Avocado Salad (FAVE - huge chunks of juicy chicken. Love the Lemon Vinaigrette and avocado in this salad) For a low carb option, get the Romaine Avocado Salad with a Lemon Vinaigrette. This location has both indoor and outdoor seating. Sometimes it gets loud. Seems really busy with to-go orders. The restaurant was busy when we got there. Customer service is a hit or miss. I wish the bowl of lentil soup was bigger. read more

I made a to go order on their app and even after showing up 5 minutes after the pickup time I was told it would be around another 10 minutes. I would understand that if it they were busy, but the dining area was quite open so I'm not sure why it was taking extra time. Especially when my order was just for me. Staff was...not really around. I waited a bit to say I was here to pick up and no one even seemed to notice I was there until my meal finally came out & was wrapped up to go. With that said, food came out tasting fresh and the portions were fantastic for the price. I was able to eat all I wanted and still have leftovers. I won't say I won't come back here, but next time I will definitely dine in. Hopefully I'll get quicker better service when seated at a table. read more

As i sit here and wait for my wrap, Im annoyed. The customer service here is clearly lacking. I came at 12pm on a Tuesdays there were 4 tables maybe and it took about 30 minutes to get my food. Ugh the place is big and spacious and the food good but if the customer service isn't good. All of everything else is for nothing. read more

This is the second time we have ordered kabob from Panini Kabob Grill in Northridge and received ground beef that was still raw inside. I had to throw my entire meal in the garbage because it was not safe to eat. This is a serious food safety and health concern. Meat should be properly cooked before being served to customers. I'm very disappointed that this has happened twice and hope the restaurant takes this issue seriously and makes sure the food is thoroughly cooked before serving it. read more

I have been to various Panini Kabob Grills around and really like them. I was happy they opened one at the Northridge mall, much closer to me. Came here with my family and some extended family to celebrate a special occasion. Panini Kabob Grill is a Mediterranean and Italian restaurant, they have very good kebabs, Koobideh, pastas, salads, wraps and Panini's and deserts. Their portions are generous and everything tastes excellent, I normally always make get their chicken ABF kebab with a Greek salad and basmati rice, I really enjoy it every time. This location is inside the mall on the bottom floor. They have a cool Concept, they have inside dining and then a canopied outside that is actually in the mall, but feels like a patio. You can have an outdoor dining experience, but be in the air conditioned mall, ha ha. They also actually have a small outdoor patio as well if you prefer to be actually outside. We ate on the indoor/outdoor patio, they have these orange lights, so it gave all the pics this orange hue. The interior is nice, wine along the bar area, medium/dark wood tables and walls. Minimalist, but nice and clean interior with a lot of seating inside and out. Our waiter was very nice, took our orders, brought everything out, kept checking on us and getting us everything we needed. Thank you. Enjoy! read more

I've been eating at PANINI Woodland Hills since it opened. The Tampa location is relatively new. I cannot tell you how many people I've turned on to this restaurant (no matter the location!). Their food is prepared fresh, the portions are hearty, and yummy to boot. Service is spot on and friendly. The menu is varied however, my favorite is the juicy chicken kabob with basmati rice and a side salad. Oh and their pricing? Very reasonable. The restaurant is clean and well appointed. The ambiance isn't as important to me as much as the service, food and pricing. read more

Panini Kabob Grill - This is a juicy chicken kabob with basmati rice and a Greek salad. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Northridge, California

The food is always great but the service here really lacks I prefer driving another extra 30 minutes and receive better service from the woodland hill location. My server took my order repeated the order back to us and still managed to mess it up forgot to enter our appetizer. After 30 minutes waiting we received everything but the appetizer. Needless to say I will never come to this panini location again.and the cherry on top is the first time I brought my mom my mom had to stand up to get the silverware, water, napkins. This location needs better attention to service as well as organization.not professional. read more

We thought we'd try this location since it's closer, we usually go to the Woodland Hills Panini. Really disappointed with the lack of attention at Panini Northridge. - we paid for multiple extra lemon sauce and didn't get it - our food didn't come with Tzatziki - we got to-go and the lady couldn't even find our order We get that it's a Saturday and can be very busy, but the Northridge panini really dropped the ball. read more

Omg! This place is phenomenal. We ordered the family platter that contained 3 skewers and rice. The skewers and rice were very large portions and an excellent value for the size that was served. Everything was delicious, but surprisingly I was blown away by the flavors on onions in the skewer. It was packed with so much flavor, that I had at least 3 of them. Service was awesome! My beverage never ran empty and they checked on us on a very regular basis, during a busy lunch hour. This is a great place to eat with the perfect ambiance for dining with the family. I can't wait to go back. read more

Panini Kabob Grill, as the name suggests, is both an Italian and Middleastern restaurant. It is a chain that has several locations. The Northridge outpost is located in the Fashion Mall, on the ground floor, below the food court. It has a nice layout, spacious, with well polished wood tables. Seating is inside as well as a covered area outside, though still in the mall, adjacent to the place, a patio feel, if you will. Interestingly, when I was there, they were playing Latin music. A multicultural experience :). So what do you order when you come here? I came here for a carry out and it had to be their beef koobideh. It came with a choice of salad (Greek in my case), basmati rice, two skewers of kabob, grilled onions, tomato, jalapeno and a small container of tzatziki. For a starter, I selected a bowl of the green lentil soup that came accompanied with two small pieces of grilled artisan bread. This soup was fantastic in both flavor, freshness and taste. Most Mediterranean soups have too much lemon, imparting acidity to the dish. Here, if it was there, it was very slight, hardly noticeable. I consider this pivotal, because now you get to actually taste the depth of the lentils. As for the kabobs, it was a generous portion. They were moist, tasty, optimally spiced and with satisfying texture. The Tzatziki was superb. This eatery touts themselves as a scratch kitchen, for the food that is served daily to their customers. Indeed, I have to say that their food does taste different. I know that this restaurant will climb upwards on my list, for many more repeat visits. read more

Always been a fan of panini kabob grill. This spot is pretty big with both inside and outside seating. I thought the staff was very friendly and kept checking in on me. I came on a weekday during lunch hours and they had a consistent flow of people. They have a good variety of menu items and I think there's something anyone could find enjoyable. My favorites have always been the chicken kabobs, falafels, and the linguine Alfredo. We usually always go with the crowd favorite for salads like the Mediterranean salad or Caesar salad. Since I was going solo today , I finally tried the Strawberry Date Salad. I got it as a side for my chicken wrap and it was SO GOOD! - the candied walnuts, vinaigrette, blue cheese, strawberries, and dates. You have to be a lover of all these things to appreciate the deliciousness of this salad. Next time I'm getting the full size one! read more

I have come to the Northridge location a few times now. There are two issues which must be addressed. The outdoor string lighting installed in the patio is absolutely horrible. The orange color is so bad. It's like I'm sitting in a 1990s parking lot under high pressure sodium lighting. I would strongly recommend that PKG spend the few hundred dollars to replace the lighting. It makes my wife feel nauseated. Also, anytime we eat inside it's so smokey. Please improve the kitchen ventilation so it doesn't feel like we are sitting in a bbq. Your food is good. Your price is good. That atmosphere at this restaurant is really bad. We have gone to woodland hills and the difference is day and night. read more

Panini Kabob Grill - Bad orange lighting. - Middle Eastern Near Me - Northridge, California

We had an amazing experience! Our party of 34 was seated together in one section, thanks to Manager Sherri, who made everything easy and welcoming. Angel was absolutely excellent--he handled our large group's orders, serving, food distribution, and kept checking on us for over two hours. The service was outstanding! We ordered to share multiple appetizer combos, kabob combos, rigatoni Bolognese, and extra salmon kabobs. Everything was delicious! They even graciously allowed us to serve our own celebration cake at the end. The restaurant is clean, spacious, cool, well-lit, and has great music and a friendly staff. We were also pleasantly surprised that the final bill was much lower than what we've paid at many popular restaurants. We all had a wonderful time and agreed that we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! read more

We are so happy to have chosen this place to celebrate a retirement dinner with 32 guests. We ordered appetizer combo platters, Rigatoni bolognese and their family style kabob platter which they say is good for 4 people but I think. 5-6 people can share it! Everything was delicious! They have an amazing staff, specifically Angel and manager, Sherry, and her team who helped set up the tables (they don't take reservations but it all worked out), and handled our orders great! We highly recommend this place and would definitely go back! read more

Location 4: Newly opened inside the Northridge Fashion Center on the East side by the parking structure, where the old Red Robin used to be before they moved to the north side of the mall. Plenty of free Mall parking. Venue 4: Newly opened. You can enter the restaurant from inside the mall or directly from the parking lot. It features patio (still inside the mall but outside the dining area) seating, indoor tables and booths, and a dining bar area. Service 5: Our server Maria was wonderful. Polite, friendly, personable, chatty (in a good way) and attentive. Drinks 4: Modest selection of Beer, wine, soft drinks and coffee drinks (espresso, cappuccino, latte, etc.). All reasonably priced. Food 3: Mediterranean fare with a modern western touch. Primarily grilled meats and vegetables served with rice and salad or as wraps and paninis. Couple of soups and three desserts. Food is delicious and prices are reasonable. I have been to their other locations, and I know their food well. They use quality ingredients, food is tasty and the preparation is consistent. This particular location however has just opened up less than 2 months ago and it seems that the kitchen is still trying to find its groove. From my two skewers of Koobideh (seasoned ground beef) kabob that were served on the same plate, one skewer was cooked just right but the other one was almost burned and very dry. The lamb kabob was ordered medium (and confirmed by the server as such) but arrived dry and very well-done. The bell pepper served with the lamb kabob was grilled with the store sticker still attached :D The Last Word 3.5: Not quite a 4 yet... PKG Northridge must improve the consistency of their food to become a solid 4... I am hoping that this location will rise to the occasion and make us all proud! It is still one of my favorite chain restaurants to visit. read more

I finally had a chance to come to this Panini location. I been to the Burbank location already so I was already familiar with the place. I already knew that for any kabob place, if you order in person then it will take a while to cook because they don't make it until you place the order. So I put in my order online and got the beef koobideh kabob single dish. I got it with Caesar salad and basmati rice. I arrived early to the restaurant and they were in the process of making my order. The place is very nice and spacious. I talked to the worker at the counter while waiting for my food and they told me they just open like 2 weeks ago. My order was ready at the time I pick on their website and I took it to the mall food court to eat it. The portion isn't really that much in my opinion. The kabob was cooked to medium rare but the color of my kabob didn't look like they grilled it. It looked to me like it was microwave or just heated because there were no grill mark on it. My dish was okay but I thought it lack a lot of flavor. Th customer service was good though. Maybe I'll have a better experience if I come again and try eating in person. read more

We are longtime fans of Panini Kabob Grill and used to frequent the Woodland Hills location, but it's always busy and there's usually a wait. So we were thrilled when this new Northridge Mall location opened up, and wow, it's huge! There's a spacious patio area that technically sits inside the mall, but still gives that open, airy feel with warm orange ambient lighting. Inside dining is our favorite though. It is bright, comfortable, and even has bar seating facing the kitchen and service area (which is a fun touch!). The service has been wonderful every time!! There's friendly staff, quick turnaround, and always a smile. As for the food, it's consistently fresh and delicious! We love the Hummus Trio, Caesar Salad, and Koobideh Skewers. When we have a larger group, the Family Meal is our go-to! It's generous, filling, and reasonably priced. Overall, we're so happy to have this new location close by. Great food, great service, and a beautiful space! We'll definitely be coming back often! read more

The food is just as delicious as the other locations, but the service is a bit lackluster. The check-in system was disorganized and some people were getting frustrated. The hostess was very nice, but they were severely understaffed. Substitutions are not free, they charged to accommodate a dairy allergy. Every other location lets me substitute hummus for the tzatziki, but this location wanted to charge two dollars. I just asked for the tzatziki to be plated in a separate bowl, but they put it in the middle of my plate so I had to eat around it carefully. Otherwise, this location is very clean, especially the restrooms and lots of free parking in the mall parking lot. read more

I'm going to start off by saying if I could give a zero star review I would .The waitress messed up my order . I ordered a marinara Panini however, when my order came to the table, it was a pesto Panini. I waved the server down she never came. I had to take the plate up to the kitchen to get it changed and it took over 10 minutes to get my sandwich changed. I never received an apology from the server. I then requested to speak to the manager. I let her know my experience that it was awful that I was on lunch. I had a four minutes left of lunch and she apologized bu that point I requested a to go box since I had to eat half of the really quick she offered to give me half off the sandwich, then came back and said I can do 20% or dessert to go it was just a very horrible experience. My coworker that I was with was done with her food, which was ridiculous that it took him that long to make the sandwich right. I definitely give zero out of 10 I would not return to this location at all. read more

Currently on the fence about Panini Kabob Grill. My first visit was fine, not terrible but not great. The service was okay however nothing to write home about. The Falafel Combo Appetizer was incredible & satisfying, I'd go back to eat just that again if I'm honest! The rest of my food (Salmon Caesar Wrap) was just fine but if I decide to visit again I'd likely try something else because the salmon was dry for my taste. What I will say is that the ambiance inside as well as prices compared to portion sizes are undeniably great. You get a lot of food for the cost. I loved the mood lighting and it's in an ideal location attached to the Northridge Fashion Center. Overall, I wasn't too impressed with my visit but I'll consider coming back to order something different! read more

I had really been looking forward to trying Panini Kabob Grill since it first opened at the Northridge Mall, but my first dining experience here was mediocre though some menu items did stand out. My party was pleasantly greeted at the front of the restaurant and seated in the patio area directly inside the mall. I thought it had great ambience with the hanging lights and since it wasn't too busy, we had the whole area to ourselves. After putting in our initial order, service declined a bit and we didn't see much of our servers until we got the check. For the table, we had the falafel combo appetizer plate, which was the best bite of the afternoon. The falafel was the perfect texture and had a great flavor to it. The tzatziki and hummus that came with it were also delicious and I would come back for the falafel and tzatziki alone. For my entree, I ordered the Chicken Caesar wrap with a Strawberry Date Salad on the side. It was an extremely generous portion, but I thought the wrap was a little lackluster. In writing this review and looking back on the pictures I took, I realize that I was served the regular Chicken wrap, which explains why I didn't taste any caesar dressing. Still, I don't think the wrap itself is any better than something you could get at a grocery store. I did really enjoy the strawberry date salad and wished I had ordered the entree size instead. I also sampled the Salmon Wrap which was good, but again, nothing special. I would like to give PKG another try and sample some of the classic kabob plates. I do hope to be able to update my review, but after this visit, I'm not sure I would come back if I didn't enjoy the falafel so much or if I didn't want to try other menu items. read more

Today, my experience here was perfect. I was craving a delicious chicken kabob, so I stopped by here. This chain was one of my go-to's during the To-Go-Only Covid days. I went with my favorite plate, which is marinated chicken kabob with half basmati rice and half cesar salad. The Cesar dressing here is very tasty, so I make sure to get enough of it. The chicken kabobs skewer was huge and included grilled tomatoes, grilled onions and grilled peppers, all cooked to perfection with a nice char on them. The chicken itself was outstanding-- tender, juicy, perfectly marinated. And the skewer they serve is so big that I actually left a piece of chicken behind. The basmati rice that accompanied the chicken was fresh, hot and slightly buttery, just as I like it. The customer service today was excellent. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable and brought us the food as soon as it got prepared. The vibe here is very pleasant. Although it's a newer location, the decor is of an older established diner with a large selection of tables, both inside and on the patio that's facing the inside of the Northridge mall. The background music was Italian soft rock, which perfectly matched the restaurant's vibe and my mood for the day. Will return to this spot for sure! read more

I have been coming here for a few months now. My son who is on the autism spectrum is very picky with his Kabab and he loves the one from here. It has consistently tasted the same, which is very important for us. Today especially, the employee , I can't remember his name; Rene or Ryan, was very helpful. I had accidently placed my order twice and be called to make sure I got the right order. He also helped us feel comfortable with my son on the spectrum. read more

So sad to post this here because we love panini grill west hills. We got sat after the waiter and waitress were done with their conversation, then we just ordered water and then a hot water with lemon to drink after having to ask someone to finally take our order, repeated the lemon twice. The waiter young man said oh no problem and never came back. Had to get the attention of one of the three managers standing talking to each other to get the lemon. By this time we had been here for 30 min. We ordered a med salad and steak panini. 20 min for food to come out. Had to ask again just for hot water refill this time we timed it and it took 6 min for more hot water. Service here is terrible but like I said the food is great will just have to go to West Hills location like normal. read more

I apologize. It's been too long since I've written. My (now) fiancé and I visited Panini Kabob Grill at the Northridge Fashion Center Mall a mere month ago. We failed to give a much-desired review. Salutations. Once again, we had our wonderful server, Mary. She never fails to deliver our food with a smile and a wink. She makes us feel safe and at home. Never judged. She remembers us now, which we think is quite special. We brought the dog again this time. Mary was quick to bring water to our dog, which we think is quite special. How do you do it, Mary? You make our PKG visits delightful. Certified return customers. Thank you to the chef. The food was top-tier! You outdid yourself once again! I decided to be adventurous and ordered the same exact meal I order every time. My soon-to-be husband ordered something different, which we think is also quite special. Both were tasty and expeditious. Period. We look forward to our next rendezvous at America's Panini Kabob Grill, located at 9301 Tampa Ave... a.k.a. The Northridge Fashion Center Mall... a.k.a. The Hometown Special. Goodnight. read more

Terrible terrible service. I placed a to go order and was quoted 15 to 20 minutes. When I arrived, I was told it would be another 10 minutes. After waiting again, I still wasn't acknowledged and ended up sitting there another 15 minutes. No updates, no apology, just poor communication. When I asked if the extra salad dressing I requested was included, the manager simply said they didn't charge me for it- not only was that their own mistake but after having me wait 20+ mins extra, he could've just thrown them in (it's literally lemon juice & oil) - at that point, I just wanted to leave. To top it off, another customer who had been waiting too had her food sitting ready for about 10 minutes and no one told her. I ended up letting her know myself. Overall so disappointing. reading the reviews, this doesn't seem to be an isolated situation. read more

Came with the famban, hoping we will have the same experienced as in topanga one, but we were wrong, Food: no flavor, or close to what beef kabob taste like, food came almost cold, flavor was missing I eating enough Mediterranean food from different places that even the smallest and cheapest places I eaten before had better flavor, rice and salad as well lack of flavor(Sanku chicken has better flavor) Service was not the best, if you don't like to serv people don't work there, you spect a 15-18% tip we spect a good service I order hummus that only till I ask multiple times, it came, service came once and disappeared to only comeback to ask if we were done Ambience is pretty weird, lighting throws you off the mood.

Food was excellent. Ordered pick up and server at the counter was not friendly and appeared annoyed. Usually, restaurants greets you with a smile but this one was not. I told her, ordered pick up and I believed that is my order on the counter. She said you have to wait. She served 2 tables where she could easily handed my order which was already paid for. Not good use of her time and the fact that I had to come back coz the food was not ready. I had to wait for another 5 minutes for my food to be handed to me.

We are so happy that they opened up in Northridge. It's closer to us. More convenient. Love the brand new restaurant atmosphere except inside gets very smoky when the kitchen is so busy. As we previously experienced when they were new in Burbank the kitchen was a little slow and cannot keep up with all the orders in the dining room and take out orders but I'm sure their hard working staff will figure it out. As always food is delicious. Very reasonable prices too. I'm sure as people discover this it will be very busy. I'm just glad we know about it already. read more

This location has by far the worse service and understaffed. Bad management. Erwin will attend certain people he knows or close too. Food is good but takes forever to come out. There's always dirty tables,no one to buss them. If you want to be seated outside you have to get there early in the evening becomes very limited and they'll cram everyone inside. Also will turn you away if there's too busy or full because only 2 servers even when it's busy you'll be lucky to see 3. Be sure to check your orders that is cooked right. Better stick to the woodland hills location. You won't have this kind of problem and is well staffed. read more
