I am an out of stater who was hungry and looking for a good place to eat dinner. I found this hidden gem at the Century City Mall by accident when I happened to look down a darkened hallway and saw the Panini Kabob Grill sign, like a neon sign enticing me to come in. Our server Kelly, who looks amazingly young for someone about to become a first time grandmother, provided 5 star service with a radiant smile. Throughout my dinner she kept me well supplied with a small, but delicious selection of beer, (plenty of wine available as well). I ordered the Caprese appetizer and it was even better than described in the menu. There was a good amount of cold, fresh vegetables, mozzarella, hot, fresh pita bread, pesto and olive oil, all presented so deliciously. But the best was Jelly's recommended flat iron steak kabob! I have had well cooked filet before that wouldn't stand a chance next to the tender, flavorful steak cooked so masterfully. It was accompanied with cooked veggies kabob partners that complimented each other so well. Along with the hefty portions of beautifully flavored rice and fresh salad served along side this masterful plate of goodness, I was not in the least disappointed to happen upon this surprisingly clean and well run restaurant. I would encourage you to go and experience what other deliciousness this hidden gem can provide! Keith Bowens - Delaware read more

We had take out on Mother's Day and loved the trio of hummus and chicken salad and beef kebabs and pita bread. So I decided to visit my local restaurant to order the edamame hummus and beef kebabs plate . It didn't disappoint, the kebabs and rice w onion and tomatoes so tasty. The edamame really good . My only disappointment was when I got to my car thank goodness I checked my bag and there was no pita bread! The server didn't mention that I should get it when I said it was my first time ordering and asking for advice on size etc. I was able to drive back and purchase the pita bread . She wasn't very helpful when I aakws how many I should purchase with the 16 oz hummus and she couldn't help me again!!!.... read more

It was our first time dining here at Panini Kabob Grill in Fashion Square Mall at Sherman Oaks. We had lunch on a Saturday afternoon with the family. Thankful to my dad and brother as we continue our eating out together as a family despite the passing of our beloved mom. Great customer service and really good food, thanks to our awesome waiter Jonathan. For this visit we ordered the following meals; Alfredo linguine with chicken, chicken shish kabob, chicken pesto, 2 meat lovers, romaine salad, hot tea and the falafel combination appetizer. Our meals were all so tasteful! The basmati rice was cooked just right. The chicken and beef were all tender and flavorful. None of the meats were overcooked. The portions of each meal was just the right amount. Some of them were plentiful and we had to take them for to go. The falafel combination apparently and hummus were good. We will be visiting Panini Kabob Grill to try other food items on their menu. We like frequenting restaurants with great customer service and delicious meals with a variety of items on the menu. read more

Haven't been here in about two years. I was very disappointed with the food was so bland no tasted whatsoever I ordered the Alfredo linguini with prawns no taste very very bland, and we ordered the chicken kabob plate, the chicken was super dry and flavorless. We only ate here because we were shopping at the mall but overall not good at all. Bad bland food. read more

This was our first time eating here. We ate inside but theres also an enclosed patio outside. Jonathan was our server and was very hospitable, especially with our food allergy. Thank you! I ordered the Chicken pesto panini with avocado salad. I liked the salad a lot. Good avocado and the salad was mixed well. Chicken was tender and the bread was grilled but not too hard where it hurts the roof of your mouth lol. I washed it all down with a Strawberry lemonade which was refreshing and just sweet enough. Really good! Thank you! read more

It's been a while since I last ate here and don't know if I will return again. The service has gone downhill. Our waitress was kind, but we waited an unreasonable amount of time for her to take our order and the restaurant was not full. We then waited 35 minutes for our food to come out. I could only see 1 cook from my seat and this may be the root of the problem there. By the time our food came, we had lost our appetite and asked for the check after a few bites. read more

My go to spot when I need food that's convenient but more importantly flavorful and healthy. I've had the chicken, beef and salmon kabobs and they never disappoint!! The portions are also generous and next day leftovers would taste just as good. Also my friend and I dined in at the Sherman Oaks location last week and we wanted to give kudos to our wonderful server, Ignacio. He was attentive, professional and accommodating and the service was excellent - thanks again!! read more

I had lunch here today and Oscar was our server. He provided excellent service and was very attentive to our table. The food was delicious. Will definitely be returning. read more

I've placed two carry-out orders from Panini Kabob Grill so far, and it's been pretty decent. So far I've tried their falafel KA box & platter, lentil soup, and side of sliced cucumbers, and I've enjoyed all my food. I love that they serve their pita bread warm (it's a first for me), plus their sauces come in generous portions (twice or three times bigger than other places). Their food is also affordable for what they serve. I look forward to trying more vegetarian options from their menu next time. This place is connected to the Westfield Fashion Square mall where you can find plenty of parking just a few steps away from Macy's (Finish Line, shoe department entrance). They provide both indoor and outdoor seating, and although I haven't dined in, I can say most employee's have been attentive. My food did take a little longer than expected this last time, but it it makes sense because it was close to dinner time on the weekend. I didn't notice them calling names for pick-ups and although I did tell 2 workers my name when I arrived, I had to do it again because my order was sitting there for a couple of minutes, so make sure you stand in front of the pick-up area and ask again once you see new orders on the shelf, lol. I consider this place worth a try, and I will definitely stop by again when I'm craving Mediterranean food in the area. read more

Ordered the falafel plate. By far the best I've had in awhile. Enjoyed their hummus and their veggies. So glad I stopped by to try them. Customer Service was great! Everyone seemed happy to work there. It was late night so few people but good food. read more

I give this experience a 10 out of 5. The food and desert was absolutely amazing but what truly set this place apart was the service from 3 of the staff. Casey was our primary server but the team work and attention from all three was top notch. We live in Palmdale but based on today's experience we will be back sooner than later. Thank you Panini Sunset Blvd read more

We always order carry-out from this Panini Kabob Grill. The chicken plate is our go-to, and the panini sandwiches are great too! We've tried most of the salads -- everything is full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Service is always friendly and fast. It's right by the mall, so parking can be tricky at busy times. We haven't dined in yet, but it's always busy, which makes sense -- food's made fresh and always worth the wait. read more

Panini Kabob Grill - Outside view - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

Every time I have eaten here it has always been a wonderful experience. Our server Jonathan was on top of everything and consistently circled back to our table to make sure everything was A-OK! Service has always been great! The food was delicious. We had the kitchen split our meal for an extra $4 which allowed us to pick a salad of of choice. Chicken Kabob was juicy and tender, the beef koobideh was seasoned & grilled to perfection. I've never had a bad meal to date. The servings are pretty big and definitely enough to split with someone else. The salads are also so fresh and tasty. The restaurant is very casual with a lot of indoor seating as well as a covered outdoor patio. They are also pet friendly! read more

Straight up. Service matters! I was in a party of 18 and luckily the restaurant was fairly empty. They sat us in probably the best spot for our group considering we had kids. Rene was our first waiter and did a great job staying organized in taking everyone's order. Then even after we played musical chairs, the staff got the right dishes to the right people. Solid. Then service just leveled up when Valerie took over. Super friendly, always smiling, and hustled. I often saw her lifting heavy trays and even closed out check with one hand (literally. The other hand had a tray). Refilled drinks without asking, organized the birthday dessert with candle, lighter, and song. As we left the restaurant, I asked if she can take our photo. She smiled, handed off a to-go order, met us outside, and took an amazing group photo. Quick shout on the food. Tasty, hot, nicely presented, and good. A bit pricey BUT you get a good amount of food. Leftovers for sure. Place was clean including the bathrooms. Parking is plentiful because it's attached to a mall. Anyway, service will make or break any dining experience. We had 18 people, no real reservations, and the staff elevated the party, especially Val. Hats off PKG. read more

Unfortunately this location is stupidly overpriced now. Their online menu says $57.99 for a kabob plate with two salads... when I called to order this over the phone they were charging me $90 for the same meal minus one of the salads. They said their prices recently changed here. Bummer, this place used to be cool. Maybe try the Burbank or Glendale location for honest and fair prices. read more

Panini Kabob Grill - online menu price vs what they quoted over the phone, that's a $33 discrepancy lol - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

The service was just as great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. The atmosphere was clean and comfortable, making it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Definitely coming back! read more

Panini Kabob Grill - Falafel Combo Appetizer so yummy - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

We were walking in the park and around the mall during the evening and decided we wanted dinner so stopped here for takeout. We walked in and were told by the server who came to seat us and when we told her we wanted takeout she said to go see the "gentleman" at the back of the store, so we did and the server was right! Eric was a gentleman, good sense of humor, schmoozed with us a little, took our order and told us to come back in 20-30 minutes for our dinner. I got a salmon wrap which, once I got home, was very good. My wife got a couple salads that will last at least 3 meals for her. We were very happy to see that the food at this Panini Kabob Grill was as good as the other one we've eaten at and will come back when wanting this type of food. read more

I love PKG! Theyre always SO consistent and spot on with their proteins. I reccomend trying the KA-BOX, Its VERY filling and has a bit of everything. Honestly it could feed two but I am a happy gal. Service is quick and friendly. You may have to wait a bit if it's a lunch rush but overall its not bad at all. Ambiance is very casual, perfect for lunch of a easy dinner spot. PS TRY THE SALADS THEYRE ALL SOOO YUMM!! read more

We stopped by on our way into the mall! Ambiance was very inviting like a ma and pa place! We got seated outside, the patio furniture is very comfortable. Unfortunately once we were sat we were forgot about and a server didn't come until 15 minutes after being sat. We gave her our full order because we were starving. We watched tables be cleared and served inside for 20 minutes before she then brought our drinks and then another 25 later we received our food. we still didn't have silverware so then we had to wait until we were able to get someone to bring us utensils! Food was GREAT! My chicken pesto panini was perfect and greek salad was FRESHHHH! So I give 3.5 only based off of our service. Definitely a place i would come back to but ill make sure to be inside :/ read more

We had a great time visiting Panini yesterday in Sherman oaks The food was on point as per usual. We came to visit our Favorite manager Carlos!! What can I say Carlos makes our visit to panini feel like we're at home. He's in the perfect position to help the restaurant reach the next level. Great food and wonderful service. We sat outside the patio had a nice view!! read more

Food is tasty, prices are pkay for what you get. Hostess/Waitress both visits was very sweet. Unfortunately, this place is SLOW. Twenty minutes for a beverage (happened at both visits, lunch and dinner), even longer for food. Person delivering food to table brought the wrong order and ignored us when we called after her to get it corrected. Waitress came back and put in rush to correct the order, which arrived when we were done eating. read more

The food is incredibly good as usual but the service at this specific location is shockingly terrible. The service staff just wander around aimlessly and they don't bother taking your order within a reasonable amount of time. You basically have to get up ask for someone to come and take your order. Then they never follow up with water, etc and frequently mess things up. Management needs to step in and fix these issues. read more

Absolutely amazing grub, everything was on point and fresh. Been coming here for a while now it's one of our favorite places to enjoy delicious food. This place is clean and refreshing, we sat out in the patio area and it was just perfect. Our server Noe was awesome and very welcoming. Thank you to everyone at Panini Kabob Grill y a los cocineros muchas gracias. See you guys soon. read more

Tried here for lunch with my mom and little brother. First off; parking is easy since it's a mall but also it's a mall so depending on the time of day, may be an issue. Second, lots of seating and the noise level inside isn't too bad so it's easy to talk to your table. The menu is full of various options so mom and I opted to split the two dishes we wanted to try and my brother went with the item he never gets. Mom ordered the Chicken Caesar Wrap but subbed the chicken for tofu, and opted for a Greek salad as the side. The whole plates were generous portions so the half a wrap I got was a meal all of itself. The produce was fresh and crisp, the tofu cooked well but the surprise was how the tofu crumbled like Feta and had the type of texture to be a little creamy a little meaty. For my Mom's first time having a wrap like this, she was beyond thrilled and loved the salad. The small dipper of hummus was a real surprise too, smooth but slightly lumpy hummus that had a light taste but finished with a brightness of herbs was a real delight. My brother opted for the steak panini, something like a Philly Cheesesteak but without all the cheese. Well seasoned beef complimented by fresh peppers, onions and mushrooms with slices of provolone on toasted bread. He loved it, and his side of Caesar salad was perfect for him though we both agreed for the salad and the wrap, the dressing could stand to be a little thicker and more of it. My dish was the Rigatoni Rosa with the chicken; this was such a surprising comfort food I cannot wait to have it again. Light Rosé sauce that's just a hint of sweet and touch of tomato, when paired with the chicken each bite was heaven. The chicken was seasoned so well and charred just the right amount to lock in all the juices and flavor. Nothing needed to be seasoned, and we enjoyed our lunch so much, everyone finished their plates! Will definitely be going back. read more

Always loved coming here for their Panini's, as it was never very busy so thought it'd be a nice new try to get the word out there. Went back today after shopping, restaurant wasn't clean, servers were not doing their job never came to take our order, waited an hour for food and had to ask three times, while the first time asking no one came to check after. Restaurant is run very poorly ended up leaving. Sucks because first few times food was good. Would never recommend again. read more

I love the food but when they get busy good luck with your order. They are poorly managed when it comes to take out orders. They need a better system for phone/online orders. Create a clear pick up/paid orders line and a separate line for people who need to pay and place orders. I asked for help and waited 15 minutes for a prepaid order that was sitting on the self. On top of waiting they messed up and forgot two of my items. Always verify the items one by one make sure you take them out of the bag and check everything. Avoid this place for takeout. read more

This place is on the newer side. Located at the Sherman oaks fashion square near Macy's. Therefore it's plenty of parking spaces, however, because it's attached to the mall during certain times parking may be hard to find. I walked in to place a to go order. The host was nice and helpful when I asked her about certain menu items. I decided on the veggie kabob which came with rice, Hummus and a side salad and my friend ordered the Koobideh which came with rice, humus, grilled vegetables and tatziki. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh. The order came out pretty fast (maybe a 10/16 minute wait). The place was not crowded at all so that could be why the food came out pretty fast. Although I did not order a drink, they do have a wine list and limited beer options. The shrimp kabobs looked really good so I am definitely going to try this next time. read more

The place was busy when we came. Customers are in and out (dining and pick up too) but we were seated right away. We chose to sit indoors because the weather is not ideal at the time of visit. By the time our server came, we were ready to order. We ordered the Flat Iron Steak Shish Kabob. It was a lot for my client so we shared it. The food didn't take long to be served. The salad was good. The dressing didn't overwhelm, it complimented well. The beef needs a little seasoning and it was tough even though we asked for medium but it was edible. My client and I decided to try the lamb next time. Our server is a champ, her area or section was busy. Customers were in and out. But she didn't get flustered. There's a big improvement on the customer service. Our server Natalia kept checking on us, asking what we need and made sure we were not missing something. bon appétit... read more

Came back with the family for dinner. We ordered the family meal for 4. Came with 2 salads, rice, chicken and veggies. Sooo fresh and delicious. The service was wonderful, our waitress Bella was so nice and attentive. She was running around on a busy Sunday night but made sure to check on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. Welcoming hostess as well didn't catch her name. Overall a great place for families to eat together and enjoy the ambiance. Both indoor and patio seating available. read more

So I got completely stood up by my friend because she was supposed to meet me here for dinner and I ordered a whole family meal to my self. Luckily the manager Alejandra had been nothing but super courteous and did everything she could to make sure that I was OK. The staff was on another level to be honest with you and the ambience of this place was super clean. Thank you so much for giving me this experience. PS. There was another Server. She was a younger Hispanic lady, but I couldn't forget to rave about her because she was super caring and even though my ego was shot she just made sure that I was OK thank you so much for your hospitality.

Panini Kabob Grill - Tiramisu - Middle Eastern Near Me - Sherman Oaks, California

The food at Panini Grill is good, but the service really needs improvement and took a massive turn for the worst. We waited about 30 minutes for our food, showed the manager the time stamp of our wait, people who were seated after us got their food before us and we had ordered similar items, and the food came out only after my husband got up to cancel his dish. We never received drink refills and only saw our waitress once. It felt like a place where you have to serve yourself if you want food, refills, or the bill. Hiring more staff could make a huge difference. read more

Great service and food. Sorry, there will be a slight day at times because the takeout business they have is crazy. Why? Great portions, great price and great food. read more
