    Great spot in our local mall! Easy take out or delivery, love the family meals, at a reasonable price too! I also enjoy the sandwiches. Can't go wrong when you want something fresh and on the lighter side but filling at the same time.

    Sampler plate
    Marie C.

    Brought some out of town friends who liked Mediterranean food. First time at this location at the Fox Hills mall between Macy's and JC Penny. Plenty of parking and ADA access. Comfortable seating. It wasn't busy and plenty of seating but our party of four stood there for a while before we got acknowledged. I could tell the two servers were overwhelmed as they dispensed with the pleasantries. Once we sat we waited again for menus and then waiting again for our drink order. Again this was a Thursday at 7pm. Not busy at all. We all enjoyed sharing the sampler plate and I ordered the Caprese Panini which I enjoyed. Price: $$ I just think staffing was an issue at the time of my visit.

    Panini Kabob I have come to the one in Orange County, but I have not come here in a while. I was really hungry went to another resturant close but it was closed so I yelped this place. The server Robert was really nice ordered the chicken and the steak. I was going to get the veggetables with it but I was looking at everyone else rice and went for it was good. I enjoyed the chicken, steak rice and was good portions I ate half of it and air fried the rest of it and ate it the next day. It's 5 stars for them.

    Chicken wrap and falafel wrap
    Mia K.

    Had a catered lunch and tried their wraps for the first time. First off, one half of a wrap plus salad filled me up! Falafel wrap - delicious, love the mild seasoning, plenty of falafel with cucumbers, tomato chunks and lettuce. Was filling but light. Ate it with amazing cucumber dill yogurt that was not sour. Grilled chicken wrap - chicken had great flavor, also recommend. Their hummus tasted great and I love the balsamic vinegar-based salad dressing. There wasn't a lot of cheese or olives in the salad, perhaps taken by vegetarians who got lunch before me! They may be a franchise restaurant, but the food is fresh, craveable and healthy.

    Overall incredible experience. It's located in the Westfield Culver City Mall. We stopped by to grab some good to go. Roberto the store manager was fantastic. He greeted us and helped with our order, gave us recommendations. While we waited we grabbed a bite to eat. We had the Caprese appetizer, a perfect snack for us. The staff were great too! It was around lunch time and it was starting to get busy. There's best team work. Their good is always amazing and right never were left Roberto surprised us with a birthday ice cream drive he had heard it was my husbands birthday. Very sweet! They are other places to grab a bite to eat but I highly recommend stopping here if you haven't tried them.

    I hate to write this review because I've loved Panini Kabob for years and have visited many of its locations, but this particular location is poorly managed and has the worst service I've experienced. We arrived around 5:30 on a Friday. There were only three tables seated inside and one outside, and we were told to sit anywhere. I chose a table in the corner, and then we waited about 15 minutes before anyone came to take our order. During that time, the server who eventually waited on us was taking drink orders from two other tables, retrieving them, and delivering them. I'm not sure why a busser couldn't have dropped off the drinks, especially since after delivering them, the server then took the order of a table that arrived after us. I also want to note that there were two servers on duty. Had we been properly seated instead of told to sit anywhere, this situation may have been handled differently.

    We always love panini and grill across multiple locations including Marina Del Rey and Century City Mall. They used to have one in Playa Vista but closed during the pandemic. This one seems new, so we ordered our usual (chicken kabab with a side salad), as well as a new item in the menu Salmon and Brie sandwich. It is very tasty and you can tell the j gradients are of high quality. Our order was to go, and we were pleasantly surprised to see they have a separate area just for pickup, unlike the MDR store where pickup is mixed with the line for sit down, creating a bunch of confusions during peak times.

    I enjoy Marina del Rey location often, so I was really happy that the service and food was just as good. It's nice and big on the side of the mall where Trader Joe's is on the other side of the parking lot. The restaurant is clean and spacious. Our server was friendly and prompt. I always get the chicken skewers and this time I substituted getting extra grilled veggies instead of the rice. Delicious and healthy!

    Linguine Alfredo with Chicken

    Located in the Westfield Culver City Mall (Fox Hills) between Macy's and JCPenney with plenty of parking. It's along the parking lot so there's also patio seating. As a big fan of Mediterranean food and other Panini Kabob Grill locations, I was really happy to see this one. The food was delicious. I had the 'Beef Koobideh Kabob' entree with Mediterranean salad and Basmati Rice. It was cooked perfectly, healthy, and satisfying, with that authentic Panini Kabob Grill flavor I've come to love. Portions are generous and prices are reasonable. The restaurant itself is spacious, clean, and well-organized. The service was outstanding. A huge shout-out to our server Angel...he was amazing, super attentive, helpful with the menu, and ensured we had a wonderful dinner. We wanted dessert and coffee to-go, but since it was closing time, they didn't have coffee ready. Without hesitation, Angel took the time to brew fresh coffee for us. Overall, we had a great experience at this location.

    hummus trio

    Background On Visit: Wanted to eat somewhere close by to where we were. Our other option was Benny's Taco's, but we decided to eat at Panini Kabob Grill instead. Credit Cards: They're accepted Restrooms: They're available to be used. Location/Parking: Located in the Culver City Westfield Mall. Parking can be found in the shared lot. Could be hard to find parking closer to the restaurant. Ambiance/Decor: Cool ambiance with modern furnishings. Service: Service could be better. One of the staffers situated us away from the main dining area. It was a bit hard flagging them down to tend to our needs. Food Of Choice: Hummus Trio: I love to eat hummus and I think hummus loves me eating them also. There were three flavors: Regular hummus, spicy red bell pepper hummus, and edamame hummus. Loved the variety and love the different flavor profile. Salmon Kabob Plate: Salmon plate was very good and they gave a decent amount of salad. Salmon pieces were grilled nicely and was tender. Panini Kabob Grill: I wouldn't mind coming back. I'll make it a point to eat in the main dining area. Perhaps service will be better next time.

    My poroof

    Horrific Customer Service - Unprofessional and Completely Disrespectful I have been a loyal customer of Panini Kabob Grill for over 8 years. I have dined at almost all of their locations, and as someone with professional experience in the food and hospitality industry, I know exactly what good service and food quality look like. Sadly, my experience today (Sunday, July 12th) at the Culver City location (inside the Westfield mall) was hands-down the worst treatment I have ever received in any restaurant. When we arrived, we politely asked the waitress if we could sit at a table of our choice. She flatly and rudely denied our request. When we asked for the reason, her hostile response was literally, "It is what it is." When I criticized her unacceptable attitude, the waitress--whose name is Alisent--became incredibly disrespectful. She pointed her finger at me and aggressively told us to go stand over there and wait for the manager. When the manager finally arrived, things only got worse. Instead of handling the situation professionally or apologizing for the waitress's blatant disrespect, the manager was completely unhelpful and dismissive. To make matters worse, Alisent immediately went over to the rest of the staff, whispered to them, and they all started mocking and laughing at us right in front of our faces. To top off this petty and vindictive behavior, they told us we would have to wait 40 minutes just to be seated, purely to spite and annoy us. At that point, completely frustrated and insulted, we walked out. We ended up driving to the Marina Del Rey branch instead, where the experience was night and day compared to this toxic location. I am uploading the receipt from the Marina Del Rey branch as proof of our visit today, along with photos, to show the stark contrast. Management at the Culver City branch needs to seriously re-evaluate their staff. Alisent and the manager on duty showed a complete lack of basic human decency and professional training. After 8 years of loyalty, I will never step foot into the Culver City location again. Absolute disgrace.

    Wonderful Christmas gathering in Northridge Panini Kabob Grill.

When I went to order at the counter, the staff said we could sit and they were serve us, which I wasn't expecting at all! I really appreciate they that have both the fast-casual order style and the sit down and enjoy style duality to this restaurant. I got the chai latte and a hummus bowl with falafel (though as I write this I can't remember if that was the actual menu name of the dish). It was delicious--the falafel was one of the best I've ever had taste wise, and a bit on the airy side instead of being super dense, which I appreciated. Sometimes falafel is too dang dry, and they really got it right. The hummus was phenomenal. I'm really such a sucker for a good, quality hummus and it was so creamy and the oil they topped it with was wonderful too. The veggies were fresh and the pita was such a star: it was thick and chewy and clearly freshly made. Immediate 5 star for the food. So glad I stopped by here and will definitely be back!

    Such a fun local spot in Culver City to explore Burmese cuisine…read more  Of course I had to get the tea leaf salad. This is a fantastically unique dish to this area of the world, where pickled tea leaves flavor a mix of fried grains, nuts, and seeds. There was a combination of textures from fried lentils, mung beans, peanuts, fresh tomatoes, and dried shrimp. This is a must order here, as it was unique and delicious.  We also got the Chicken Noodle Soup and the Beef Curry, which were simple and delicious as well. It was fun to look through their imported grocery goods while we waited to order as well. They have a very enjoyable outdoor patio to eat on, and it was an overall very enjoyable experience.

    I was excited to try this place as we love Burmese food and love to try it while travelling,…read morebecause it's developed differently in each place outside of Myanmar. Jasmine sounded unique since it's a Muslim Myanmar restaurant and there were dishes I've never seen before, and also others with Indian and Chinese influences. But in the end everyone was disappointed with the food and even left food behind instead of taking it to our hotel. We actually went for ice cream afterwards to congratulate ourselves on getting through it. Jasmine has a lovely shaded patio. You place your order at the counter with a guy who's really nice. There are only two menus and the images are faded and extremely hard to read. The best dishes (but still not great) Potato samosas - nothing special Keema paratha - This bread, filled with ground chicken, was fine but not my kind of thing. Plain naan - unusual in that it was flakier than usual. Pan Thay Kwak Swe - thick wheat noodles with chicken drumsticks. This wasn't really anything special. Avoid Tea Leaf Salad. I've had lots of tea leaf salads but never any that I didn't want to eat any more of. The flavor was too pickled. It was also spicier than usual. (I don't mind spice but didn't love the flavor.) Pae Late (J's Special). This dish consists of thin lentil fried dough in broth with chicken. Unfortunately the dough was totally soggy which ruined this dish. I didn't like the flavor of the broth either. No one wanted more of this dish, nor did anyone want to take it home. It would be much better if the fried stuff was served on the side for the customer to add like when I have samosa soup.

You could also get a small peek into the kitchen as well. Just from my own personal observation, it almost seems as if orders to eat there instead of taking it to go gives you better portions.

The chicken was well seasoned and moist, lavash was soft and hot, rice was made to perfection and of course the roasted tomato is like the cherry on top. Would I come again? Of course I would!
