Panini Kabob Grill Corona Del Mar

One of the things I love most about being a real estate agent in Newport Beach is getting to know the local businesses in the communities I serve. My relocation clients are always asking where to eat, so I’m constantly looking for places that are worth recommending.

If you’re in Corona del Mar and looking for a great Mediterranean spot, Panini Kabob Grill is definitely one to put on your list.

As an Armenian, I’m probably a little tougher than most when it comes to Mediterranean food, but I have to give credit where it’s due. Panini consistently delivers.

The food is fresh, the portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the service has always been excellent. If you want a quick, healthy, filling lunch or dinner, or you’re looking for a casual spot for a business meeting, it’s hard to go wrong here.

My personal favorite is the beef koobideh. I’m completely obsessed with it. The chicken kabob and shish kabob are fantastic too, especially if you’re looking for a high-protein meal that actually tastes incredible. Do yourself a favor and grab a side of hummus as well. It’s always fun to dip the meat into that delicious garbanzo dip.

Parking is also easier than people think. You can usually find street parking right in front of the restaurant or throughout the Village. If you’re coming from Coast Highway, there’s also parking behind the shops that’s accessible through the tunnel, making it a convenient stop.

Overall, Panini Kabob Grill is one of my go-to spots in Corona del Mar, and it’s an easy recommendation whether you’re a local or just getting to know the area!

Whole staff eating, eyes glued to the soccer game. Horrible staff.

Naomi was our waitress, and she was absolutely wonderful. The food was amazing, and the customer service was unmatched. Even though the restaurant was busy, Naomi remained attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. Everyone on the staff was kind, welcoming, and created a great dining experience. We’ll definitely be back!

We ate here 2x in our short visit. Both times the restaurant was packed. Kabobs, wraps and salads were delicious with very large portions. Staff was great and very accommodating.

Had an amazing experience at Panini Kabob Grill Fast, clean, and very friendly service 👌 The food was absolutely delicious 😋 — the chicken and beef were incredibly tender and juicy. Everything was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I truly loved it! Thank you for the remarkable hospitality and excellent service 🙏

This was my first time ever eating raw food; it was absolutely disgusting. The sauce wasn't tasty either. I ended up throwing the entire order in the trash because it was so repulsive—I completely wasted my money on something gross.
