Great Kabob Grill in DTLA. We had the 1) Lamb Kabob plate - delish. lamb was tender and juicy. $22.99 2) Chicken Kabob plate - chicken breast but was still flavorful and good. $19.99 3) Hummus and pita plate - okay and it was only $2.99 so if you want more pita and hummus I would get it. Brayan was our server and he was really great. I'll be back for sure. read more

I had dinner this evening at Panini Kabob Grill with my mom and one of my brothers. I had the Steak Kabob with a Greek salad, my mom had the Chicken Kabob with an avocado salad, and my brother had a Chicken Kabob with a Caesar salad. All of the food was delicious, and the staff was extremely friendly, which made the experience even better. I've been here several times before, and every visit has been consistently great--both the food and the service are always excellent. The only small downside is that the kabobs do not come with pita bread. And, When I ordered the steak kabob, a waiter asked me how I wanted the meat cooked, and I requested it well-done but asked him not to over-char it. However, some parts of the meat came out too charred, so I had to cut those parts off before eating it. read more

Been a while since my last review. I ordered the Family Combo, 4 Chicken skewers with a side of Romaine avocado salad and Basmati rice. During the online checkout, the website surprisingly still asked for tip (what?) which I politely declined because I was picking it up in person. Total cost for the family plate was ~$83 at the time of writing this. When I went to pick it up around 12 pm lunchtime the next day, the restaurant pick up line was full, but the in person, dining was relatively empty. The restaurant just doesn't have the same atmosphere as it did pre-Covid. The employees were friendly but probably overwhelmed with the amount of customers impatiently waiting to pick up their food. The food was decent, although the quality might taste better sitting down at the restaurant, since the meal is cooked immediately rather than waiting in a to go box. The charboiled chicken shish kabob is still the absolute recommended when eating at Panini Cafe. read more

Panini Kabob Grill is always a go to for an affordable and filling meal. This place has one of my favorite Chicken Caesar Wraps in LA. I like to get it with the spinach tortilla and a side of lentil soup. The wrap has a great chicken to lettuce ratio. My only critique is that I wish there was less dressing. I think next time I go, I'll get it with light dressing instead. Service is quick and welcoming. I liked how there were heaters outside to keep me warm. Excited to come back again! :) read more

Perfect experience for dinner after a long day. We had Ivan and he was amazing. Absolutely kind and attentive. At times, we asked for things each time he came by and he was so gracious and helpful. He truly made our experience more than pleasant. I ordered the shrimp entree. Mom ordered the chicken entree; we also had the caprese and tzatziki appetizers. Caprese always hits. We enjoyed ALL of our food. Topped it off with coffee and that too was delicious. read more

Panini Kabob Grill is a perfect place for lunch. The food is fresh and very filling. Moreover, the service is excellent. I ordered the Appetizer Combo Platter which includes the hummus trio (spicy red bell pepper, Garbanzo hummus, and edamame hummus. Also, three falafels, and a side of tzatziki and pita bread. My order was brought out quickly and our server made sure all our needs were met. The hummus was my favorite; each flavor was excellent and was not too heavy. The falafels were quite tasty. I gobbled them up! Panini Kabob is a perfect place for an office lunch as well. Enjoy your visit! read more

This place is my main recommendation for sit down or take out Mediterranean food. It's ALWAYS GOOD. The food, service, and ambiance of the location is well done. First the food is always on point. Always. The salads, and dishes are always good. The service is fast and intelligent. Not hard to make changes and problem solve dishes. Clean and spacious place. Comfortable. Only thing negative was they didn't have stuffed peppers one day as an entree because they forgot to prep it. Rookie mistake of a store that should be ready. Otherwise great everything. read more

I like most panini places I've been to, and this DTLA location is as good. I've tried their KOOBIDEH KA-BOX - **** Half Pound (1 Skewer) of Charbroiled, All-Natural, ABF (Antibiotic & Hormone Free) Seasoned Ground Beef with Grilled Vegetables, Tzatziki, and Pita Bread, served with choices of Basmati Rice and Garbanzo Hummus, beef and humus are great, rice and pita were a bit dry, overall still recommend for the variety of this all-in-one appetizer and entree box. It's also affordable, and costs around $20 for a convenient and fulfilling meal. read more

Came here with a couple friends after a long day of shopping and it was a perfect end to our day. I ordered the Charbroiled ABF Chicken Shish Kabob with the Greek salad and it was incredibly delicious. The chicken was very juicy and paired well with the Greek salad. Coming from a middle eastern background I can confidently say this is one of the best kabob restaurants I have ever tried in LA and is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant was relatively easy but we were sat immediately. The wait staff were all very kind and provided great service. read more

Stopped by with a friend on a Tuesday afternoon at about 12 and was seated right away. The service was quick and the waiters were kind and efficient when it came to taking our orders and helping us check out. Food wise, you really can't miss with this place! My friend is currently following a keto diet and it was easy for him to order here. I ordered the combo with the beef and chicken skewer with bulgur and a salad. My dish came with a little tzatziki dipping sauce and even though I HATE HATE HATE cucumbers, I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised the cucumber taste was not overwhelming in the dish. :) The chicken also was not dry which was a nice touch since I've had dried chicken skewers before. Overall, I would recommend this place to everyone in the area looking for a nice lunch spot. There is outdoor seating which is nice and a big indoor dining area that is suitable for large groups. The place is well kept and comfortable for a relaxing lunch to take a break from the busy LA streets. I'm not sure how parking works but I did notice a few street parking options and there are most likely parking garages nearby. This place is walking distance to a few other businesses as well that may have parking available. read more

We came in at lunch time on a weekday and it did not take us long to seated but took a while for our orders to come out. I got the falafel platter and it was a generous amount of food for the price.

Thanksgiving at Panini Kabob Grill - DTLA was perfection. Having a little getaway/staycation in the city for a weekend to reset and enjoy the holiday, my boyfriend and I met up and found ourselves at Panini. Located at 9th & Hope Street, across from the huge Downtown LA Ralph's grocery store. We were greeted by a host and guided to pick our own seats on the patio and found a great table (not they do have seating inside as well). They had a good amount of hands on deck and tons of carry out and delivery orders. There were a small handful of people enjoying a mini feast out inside and out. The weather was ideal and so was the feeling of not preparing a buffet's worth of food like I have in the past lol. Our server brought us water and menus right away and gave us plenty of time to look over their extensive menu of Mediterranean must. Being California based chain I've been lucky enough to enjoy Panini at another location or two, but DTLA might be my favorite. If you don't know panini their know for amazing appetizers, desserts, entrees, pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches, soups, and wraps. As well as loads of vegetarian, vegan and dietary need options, noting quite a lot on their menu (such as prepared in shared kitchen ingredients, contains dairy, and so forth). I had the Falafel platter (forget to omit the tzatziki), but had at everything else and let me tell you it was a meal to be had! The portions are generous as are the prices. Babe had a pesto pressed grilled panini which comes with a big salad on the side. We both we happy and full that night. And our service was spot on. We didn't partake in their great selection of wine or beer (not a full bar), but did note some things for next time. Plus their kabobs which also include vegetable. Panini specializes in family style meals, catering and thus the ultimate plates/portions. The DT Los Angeles location just seems to have that something extra. Thanks for making our Thanksgiving extra thankful. Panini DT Notes: Easy access + super clean restrooms. Very family friendly. Military discounts available. Parking is pretty much local paid lots, street, bike racks by the patio, your two feet if local or metro. Open to all, especially on holidays! read more

Panini Kabob Grill - Strawberry-Date Salad this is to die for. - Mediterranean Near Me - Los Angeles, California

This is a great spot for lunch/dinner, offers indoor and outdoor seating. The vibe is casual, but they're serious about their proteins. We always do family style and share the plates since the portions are pretty big. My favorite protein here is the beef kabobs, but the salmon and chicken are both solid as well. Service is quick and staff is friendly. It's downtown, so parking is a bit of a challenge. Find the nearby department store parking or on the street if you're lucky. read more

It may look like a typical chain restaurant, but I'd say this is hidden gem for Mediterranean food! Good quality food with good prices and large portions! I got the Charbroiled ABF Chicken Shish Kabob with Avocado Salad and Basmati Rice. The Chicken shish kabob was great. The chicken was flavorful and seasoned well. The chicken and veggies were also nicely charred. The salad was nice and fresh and the rice was fluffy. My friends and I were seated outside, but there were heated lamps so it was warm which I liked. I would definitely come back here again if I was craving Mediterranean food and didn't want to break the bank. read more

Dined in on 11/13 around noon: Ordered the 1 skewer beef koobideh with Mediterranean Greek salad and basmati rice. The portions are enormous here, I also wasn't expecting it to come with a generous portion of tzatziki. Koobideh could have been more flavorful but it did taste fresh and healthy. They include salt, pepper, and another spice when they bring your food. I'm curious about their chicken and steak kabobs. The outside seating has the outside ambience of DTLA, directly next to a bus stop. Fun for people watching! Service was very quick and our food came out within 10 minutes of placing the order. The bathroom was also clean. read more

Yesterday, I ordered food from Panini. The food was spoiled. The rice smelled and tasted sour. The salad was completely wilted. The chicken was not cooked properly.... What happened to the fresh, yummy food that used to be Panini? I called right away to let them know that the food was bad. I spoke with a manager (Edwin) and said that someone would reach out to me the next day. He also asked me to email him pictures (which i did). 2 pm the next day, I spoke with Victor (manager), who apologized and offered me a $50 gift card. No thanks, sir. I spent $110 and discarded all my rotten food. I have an upset stomach. Food poisoning. Terrible food and terrible customer service. By the way, I explained that I should be credited for the full amount since THEIR food WAS SPOILED. He merely said that corporate might call me back.... read more

First of all the chicken kebab I had was super flavorful and the char on it was just right. It was a quick eat before going to the Laker game and in the way from our hotel. Very convenient for us during our walk. The vibe is very chill there and the service was prompt and friendly. We were going to sit outside but the heater felt too hot so ended up moving inside. Both tables had nice look to it. read more

My cousin recommended this place so me, my brother, and my nephews met up with her. Our party of 5 was pleasantly welcomed and seated. My go to for Mediterranean is either a falafel plate or a falafel wrap. I've traveled in the Middle East many years ago and have had amazing falafels there. Was not disappointed in this the least with Panini. Falafel wrap was amazing and the salad was fresh and delicious. Generous portions and I had leftovers for later. It was my nephew's birthday weekend and we all were excited that he was having his favorite type of food. Service was great. This restaurant is in walking distance to LA Live where we were headed afterwards. 4 stars for sure! read more

I absolutely love this the catering services at Panini Kabob Grill in DTLA. They catered the retirement party for my manager. The catering specialist was so helpful and conscientious of ensuring we did not over order food. They helped me provide a retirement feast that catered to all types of eaters: meat, vegetarian and vegan. The catered food delivery was on-time, fresh and delicious, that I can't wait to go to personally visit the location see what it is like to experience the restaurant atmosphere in person. I can only express my sincerest "Thanks" for their assistance with the retirement party. read more

This location used to be my go-to spot back when I lived in downtown LA, and it's always a pleasure to come back. First off, the staff is incredible -- super friendly, hardworking, and always on top of things. You can tell they hustle all day long, and they absolutely deserve great tips for the service they provide. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming. There's a cozy outdoor patio, and the inside is almost always full -- which makes sense, because the food is amazing. Whatever you order here, it's going to be great. The portions are huge, the flavors are spot on, and it's hard not to finish everything, even if you're full. They also do a fantastic job with to-go orders. Everything is packed neatly in aluminum trays to keep it warm and fresh. They never miss a detail -- from the food to the service, it's always high quality. Whether you're dining in or taking out, this place delivers every single time. Highly recommend! read more
