    Tuna Panini
    Becky C.

    Came here for lunch and we were seated right away. It did take a while for the food to come out though. We only had a one hour lunch break and I think it took around 30 minutes before our meals arrived, so we ended up feeling pretty rushed trying to finish everything. The portions are also really big, so I definitely wish we had more time to enjoy it. I got the tuna panini with the avocado salad. The tuna was really yummy and flavorful. I was expecting the cheese in the panini to be more melted, but it was still a little cold. The avocado was fresh and the lemon dressing was so good and really brought everything together.

    This is a beautiful location within the LBX center--but not in the busiest hub, so it was a little more relaxing. It's nicely decorated, and the weather was perfect for us to enjoy dinner on the outside patio. We enjoyed the food, though it's Persian oriented, so different from the more Greek-type Mediterranean food we're used to. The lamb kebabs had a sweeter spice, and the pilaf was definitely different, with both sweet and savory flavors. My husband's salmon pasta was very good, with large, tender chunks of salmon. Portions are generous, and it's nice to have both salad and rice included.

    Panini kabob was an oasis as we walked rounding beach.. the outside seating was welcoming and at a really busy cross roads to watch people. We started with the hummus trio - wow- the roasted red pepper was OMG!! I took the suggestion from Adrian ( our server ) to try the chicken pesto- It was buttery, well grilled and pesto was flavor filled. My Wife loved the steak panini.. panini kabob is must try- but make sure to sit outside!!!

    My husband picked me up at Long Beach Airport after one of my trips so we stopped here for dinner. He ordered the Flat Iron Steak Kabob and I got the Jumbo Shrimp Kabob. They both were $20.99 but we upgraded to Strawberry Date salad for a $1.99 additional charge. Was it worth it, no it was not. I think I found maybe one piece of date in mine and barely any strawberry. My husband faired slightly better. The shrimp were ok, pretty dry. Service was not great. Maybe our server was new or just feeling overwhelmed. I should have ordered the Caprese Panini ($13.99). Maybe next time.

    Pesto Chicken Panini with Green Lentil Soup
    Nailah D.

    One of my favorite places to eat in Long Beach, California!! Ambiance: Welcoming, with plenty of tables inside, but I enjoy sitting outside under the patio furniture with decorative lights and beautiful plants. Service: Always a pleasure, with quick service. Food: For an appetizer on a cloudy day, the Green Lentil Soup is my go to! The best panini sandwich thus far is the Chicken Pesto Panini! Grilled to perfection, seasoned just right, melting in your mouth after every bite! See you back soon PKG!!

    It was actually pretty quiet on a Saturday afternoon. Location wise it's good as it's downtown near the library and corporate offices but weekend, it's quiet. Restaurants itself is pretty big both with inside and covered patio. Walked in and was offered to sit wherever we liked. Patio was nice as the inside so freakin cold. It's been years since I was last inside one of the restaurant. Menu still looked the same give or take a few items that looked new to me. Waitress was great and sweet. She was also the one that greeted us. Started off with some beers which was priced well. I remember potion were quite big so we just shared the hummus trio and two kabobs combination. Trio of hummus, spicy red bell peppers, edamame and garlic and olive oil. They were excellent, each one had their own flavors and plenty on the plate. A good amount of the pita as well as a side salad accompanied the dish. Highly recommend this. And the beef combination with two kabobs. Worth the price adding a second kabobs. That was served with rice and a salad. Theres options with rice and salad but I went Greek salad and white rice. First off, it's massive so good for sharing or plenty of leftovers. The meat was cooked well and very flavorful. Not dry at all but very juicy. Rice and the salad was a perfect paring to everything. It also came with grilled veggies, onion tomatoes and bell peppers. It was a while since I had this plate and the first bite, it was worth it. Food was excellent. Service was good. Street parking available. Not sure if there's a private lot that's part of the restaurant but a paid lot nearby.

    I met a friend here for lunch last week and I arrived first. It's downtown LB, so parking can be tricky. I parked a couple of blocks away and the walk was perfect. I walked inside and it seems like you order at the counter. But I noticed an outside area and opted for that. There were nice heaters and a server takes your order. Miguel was an absolute charmer! He explained some of the dishes to me and managed to make us laugh with his sweet "flirting". He charmed the two of us. We could both be his abuelas! My meal was top tier. The beef was extremely flavorful and the salad added just the right amount of sweetness. The rice was rice. I loved it here, 10/10, highly recommend.

    Went to this place for lunch, was in walking distance from the Long Beach Court office. They were pretty busy for lunchtime, cashier person was training and was a bit overwhelmed. Ended up getting a steak Panini with grilled bellpeppers and onions, and no mushrooms. Honestly, it was about a 30 minute wait for my food. The items were a little bit on the pricier side. I really enjoyed the steak Panini. It also came with a side of soup. I got chicken and vegetable soup. It tasted like the soup had a tomato broth. To my surprise it was actually better than I expected. Overall, I enjoyed my meal.

    Always a favorite!! Consistently delivering delicious meals and serving size is plentiful. The price point is higher, but every meal provides me with leftovers. Takeout is usually my go to from this location. Ordering is easy. Food is ready on time or faster everytime.

    I recently visited Panini Kabob Grill and had a great experience. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned. Everything tasted like it was made with real, quality ingredients. The place is clean, the service is friendly, and the portions are generous for the price. I really enjoyed my visit and would definitely come back again. If you're looking for good Mediterranean/Middle Eastern-style food, this place is worth trying!

    Chicken Pesto
    Jann B.

    Food took a long time - about 30 mins. Server was nice. Parking was easy as there is a large lot that is shared between all the different establishments at LBX. Restaurant couldve been cleaner, I saw some chicken pieces on the floor under our table. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and it tasted pretty good. Prices are a bit on the higher side.

    Fresh strawberry and pecan salad

    I want to thank my sister for choosing this place to have her bday dinner, we came here for lunch once before but since have forgotten about it until I returned with the whole family and it was a good time with amazing food. No complaints for anyone, everyone was quiet and busy eating and totally enjoyed their dishes. May I say, my bf doesn't care for restaurant food but he actually did say something positive about his steak panini that was paired with a yummy salad we both enjoyed and since I ordered a chicken pasta, it was perfect. He also took my leftovers for lunch and did not hesitate when I offered it the next day & he asked, "You sure?" Well yes, I want to return and can't have you say you didn't enjoy it, man. The problem is to choose one item! Which is an indication you know you will be back! We had some appetizers, the hummus are amazing, salads are fresh and down to the pasta are creamy and delicious. Items are not salty but nutritious. No wonder it is always packed.

    Strawberry date salad
    Lorraine B.

    One of my favorite go to places! I am obsessed with their strawberry date salad! The dressing is amazing too! Service is always good, the restaurant is always clean. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating, street parking available.

So glad I finally got to stop by many years later for dinner! Parking was easy (on a weeknight). Plenty of street parking and many open meters but I can see it being very difficult on weekends. Bake in some time to find parking! There's both indoor and outdoor seating at this location. This inside is cozy and there's a second room for additional seating. I went on a Thursday night and it was slammed. They do not take reservations but they do have a waitlist via toast that you can join while you walk around and wait for your table. Plenty to do and see on 2nd street. We ordered the party platter for 4 people! It was the perfect amount of food with leftovers to take home. Everything was cooked to PERFECTION. Our beef was a textbook medium rare and was so juicy and tender, as was the rest of the meat. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, as was all the shawarma. All meats were seasoned beautifully. The rice underneath was stunning as well and really caught all the juices from the meat on top. The roasted tomatoes, onions, and pickles were the perfect compliments to help freshen up the palette during the meal. The sauces were amazing and there was a clear favorite (the garlic sauce) which was annihilated by all four of us. Service was friendly! It was very packed so it was slow at times but understandably so. They come by and give you orange blossom water for your hands post meal - what a treat! We smelled amazing! NO NOTES FOR OPEN SESAME! I have to come back with more friends! We did have an issue but it was with another patron who had the audacity to yell at my table (while I was in the restroom) for "having too much fun"?!?! This is a public restaurant and it was loud as hell in there because it's tight and everyone talks over each other, not to mention the open kitchen. The energy in the restaurant is exciting and frenetic. If you want a quiet dinner f*cking STAY HOME and leave the streets to those of us who have had a WEEK and want to enjoy a fun dinner with friends. We will be back and we will have even MORE FUN, xoxo.

    We stopped by here on a weekday because it was one of the dog-friendly restaurants near Rosie's Dog…read moreBeach. They have multiple outside seating areas where you can sit with your doggo. Ambiance (5/5): Although we didn't sit inside, it was super cute, with classy boho vibes. The restroom was clean and well-decorated (although, not gonna lie, I don't know how I felt about the big mirror facing the toilet). The outside patio area was airy, and although right by the street, I didn't find it unpleasant. Service (3/5): It was just so-so. They sat us down quickly, gave us our menus and checked on us maybe twice. It wasn't super busy, but we had to wait to ask for things like extra plates and water for our dog. Food Overall (5/5): Food was delicious. We got the beef shawarma lunch special and got fries for the side (extra charge) and also the chicken shawarma lunch special with the hummus side. Beef Shawarma (4/5): It had a nice toasty flavor, perhaps from the spices, and the pickled veggies really complemented it. My only complaint was that I wish it had a bit more of the white sauce (maybe adding more hummus would have helped). It was also strangely a bit watery, maybe from the veggies. Overall, it was still a yummy wrap. Chicken Shawarma (5/5): The chicken shawarma tasted more balanced to me overall. I don't recall the meat being dry, although I did also slather it with a bit of hummus. I thoroughly enjoyed this wrap. Fries side (5/5): Their fries are made in house and it tastes so fresh. It was crispy on the outside yet still gooey and moist on the inside. I'm not sure if they make their own ketchup too, as it looked clumpier and tasted really fresh too. The kids gobbled this up. Hummus and pita (5/5): It came with a generous amount of both hummus and pita. The hummus was well flavored and blended, and it really complemented everything on the table. The pocket pita bread was not what I had in mind (I'm used to thicker ones), but the kids really loved it overall. Ice cream (4.5/5): We ordered two scoops from the dessert menu. They were both really thick, creamy and almost chewy like liquidized mochi. It was a very interesting texture but nonetheless a nice tasty treat on a hot day. I much preferred the vanilla bean, as the pistachio tasted and looked rather artificial (and I'm a pistachio ice cream lover). This place had so many to-go orders during the afternoon we were there. I can see why. Food is super fresh and tasty. I think we will be back the next time we are visiting.

Our server thought he heard my sister order the Lamb Mediterranean Bowl, but she actually ordered the Chicken Mediterranean Bowl. When the lamb bowl arrived, my sister immediately explained that the order was incorrect and that she had requested chicken, not lamb. 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.
