    This was my second time at this restaurant. First time was great which we enjoyed the food. I can say their breakfast is quite nice. It's a pretty big menu so there's loads to choose from. Breakfast lunch and dinner. During our first visit, I noticed that there were a good amount of people ordering the entrees during breakfast which looked great. Fast forward to today, I had to try some. We stopped by for a late lunch which there was a good amount of people. Of course when you get there, just going through the menu was pretty exhausting...lol... I was going back and forth for breakfast or entrees. The whole point was to try something else. Opted for an order of the hummus which was served with pita and an order of the fried mushrooms. Honestly the mushrooms was a slight disappointment when it came out. It was ok but nothing much to it. Hummus was quite nice though. And the order of the seafood pasta. Served in a red sauce with calms, mussels, shrimp, and fish tossed in linguine. Flavor was ok, seafood was good though. For the price 24.99 it was ok. Also, you could add a glass of mimosas to any entrees for 1.00 which was an excellent deal. The food was good. Breakfast on the other during our first visit was great. This lunch was ok. But I did see some other entrees that were brought out that looked quite tasty. Maybe I'll have to get that a try next time. Service was great. All the staffs were friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking in the lot. There's also patio seating available.

    Something's missing??

    From vegan perspective: Vegan options, 4 main dishes and other appetizers, salads, Mediterranean breakfast and wrap are clearly market vegan. Great for mixed groups large and small. I had meatless primavera. The first chef forgot the linguine. Manager offered to replace it with proper dish after I figured something was amiss. First time having square "meatballs", but the dish was tasty and filling the second time with the linguine. In their defense they gratis that meal. The non vegans had great choices too.

    Delicious fast breakfast! We got seated right away and they came by with coffee quickly. The server grabbed our order and everything came out delicious and fluffy. The pancakes were so good! Perfect place for a casual weekend breakfast.

    Terrible service in the evening. They brought my husband's salad well after I had finished my cup of soup, then they mistakenly delivered his food to another table! And the other table just accepted it and ate my husband's food. Terrible. The lamb shank was drowned in a red sauce and not very flavorful at all. So disappointed, when we were in the mood to celebrate.

    I enjoyed the coziness and home feeling to this restaurant. They had a great selection of breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. It seemed to be Italian based/inspired (or I believe the owners are Italian?) which means the actual food options seem very tasty. It was a little difficult to choose but ended up splitting pasta and a burrito with my friend I love Spinach & Ricotta Ravioli and although this was pretty tasty, it definitely had a unique after taste to it. I couldn't pin point exactly what it was but it didn't take like a typical spinach and ricotta ravioli dish that's I've had at other places. It wouldn't be a dish I would run back to, but, I am happy that I tried it and ultimately I still finished the entire plate! I liked the burrito as well! I LOVE cheese so next time I believe I would just ask for extra cheese! As far as parking, it's in a lot with other business' so there are an average amount of spots and I can see it be a struggle to find a space if it is peak hours on a weekend. Definitely a place to check out if you're in the valley!

    Do they serve mimosas?

    Five stars. All the way?

    Yes definitely

    What time does breakfast end?

    Breakfast is served all day

    Is this place good for working on my laptop or some studying?

    I think there's plenty of space for studying, I don't know that the owner would be ok with it. It's not exactly a coffee house type of vibe. It is more of a diner type of vibe.

    This meal was so life-changing I had to hop back on yelp to tell everyone. Firstly, the interior is…read morewell-decorated and spacious and the ambiance is excellent and our server said that the menu is part Persian inspired. Most importantly, the food was the greatest ever. My family would have been fine with just the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant-- it was hearty and creamy and garlicky, everything I have ever wanted in a dish. But of course, we ordered the super combo due to our hubris and paid the price (we took a bunch of boxes). They are not kidding when they say the Super Combo feeds 4-5, they must be talking about 4-5 men in their early 20s because it was way too much for us. Assuming you eat all the salad and rice and the bed if bread the meat is served on, I can imagine this feeding more than 5 people. It is truly the most value item on the menu, should you have the personnel to take it on. Highly recommended for anyone who likes mediterranean food! Try the baba ganoush and roasted eggplant!!

The BBQ plate is outstanding--the meat is perfectly seasoned, incredibly juicy, and packed with flavor in every bite. You can tell they take pride in the quality of their food. Their wraps are just as impressive. They're loaded with ingredients, bursting with flavor, and the portions are huge. One wrap is more than enough to leave you full and satisfied. Consistently great food, generous portions, and excellent quality keep me coming back week after week. Lemon Zest has easily become one of my favorite lunch spots. Highly recommended!

My favorites are their kabobs and different modifications (think sour berries) of generous amounts of basmati rice that accompany their entrees. The Mast O' Mooseer (yoghurt with shallots) is another of my must haves. Generally, I always get the koobideh kabob to go, but this time, I was in the mood to sit down and have some chunks of meat. I chose the Shish Kabob, which is advertised as grilled filet mignon pieces. The restaurant prepares it medium well and past experience revealed it to be dry and tough. So I asked for it medium rare, for the first time. The dish that came to my table had marvelous optics. The beef was well charred, had an intoxicating aroma and well distributed coloring amongst the seven generous pieces. But there were a few problems. For one, I could not comfortably cut into the beef without using excess force, and shredding it. I asked for a sharper (steak) knife and was told that was all they had. While the meat was juicy, it was extremely chewy. I even questioned whether it was filet mignon, because it did not look and behave like it. I was told it was. If that was the case, could it have been a bad cut? This substantiates why I am leery about ordering meat pieces. Amongst the other items, the thick creamy yoghurt did not disappoint. Same with the grilled onion and tomato. The saffron rice is always fluffy and abundant. The green salad was crisp and refreshing. Take home message? Looks like I will have to skip the Shish Kabob and stick only with the koobideh, if I am ever in the mood for skewered grilled beef.

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!

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.

Mediterranean food is pretty consistent (ie the same) for my tastes wherever I get it so I was pleasantly surprised by a few elements of Pi. The pies, for example...I tried the Zaatar pie...honestly it was not much more then a thick, airy, freshly made pita with Zataar and olive oil on it...but it's sometimes the simplest things which delight. The Zaatar pie delighted. I tried the Lebanese red wine (I mean, when in a Lebanese restaurant, why not?) And it stood up to any red I'd had anywhere else. The Tabouleh (one of my Mediterranean standards) was fresh made, filling, and a nice companion to the heavier Zaatar pie. It was awfully nice, and unexpected, to get complimentary baklava at the end of the meal...2 generous sized pieces which were pretty indulgent and eliminated the need to get (and pay for) dessert there or anywhere else. Service was lovely...the manager or owner took care of us and made us feel he was truly grateful that we were there. It's also a hookah spot...so if you're not into that vibe or smoke of any kind, (I'm not really) you'll definitely smell that anywhere you are in the restaurant, even if you're not seated next to those using hookahs.

The fries were even worse, they tasted stale, like they were at least a day or two old, and had that chewy, reheated texture instead of being crispy.

So I ordered 3 Gyro meals. Lamb, chicken, and beef with the combo meal fries and drink. For the 3 sandwiches with each of them having a side of small fries and small drink I paid $71.29 for the entire order which is crazy in itself but the real crime was the food here, I am surprised how this place is been running business this whole time. First thing you do when you sit in a car? Take a few bites of the fries, and let me tell you that shit got stuck in my throat from how dry and nasty it was absolutely no SALT on any of the sandwiches and or fries... We all know salt makes everything more delicious and we had none of it. Me and 2 of my guests all had complaints on how unsalted and bland the food was. Also with a gyro usually you need a garlic sauce aka white sauce for my New Yorkers, they tried to charge me $5.90 for a SMALL plastic side of garlic sauce for my $20 sandwich. Save your money head over to Pita Pocket or any other gyro spots cuz this ain't it. It's really not hard to get a gyro down. Trader Joes also has a box of gyro meat you can buy make at home and I did once and it was WAYYYY better then this place lol. This place gets 0 stars for charging customers $20+ for a freaking combo meal that doesn't even include a garlic sauce.
