Panini Kabob Grill - Riverside

We love panini grill. Their chicken kabobs are so tender and tasty. The hummus trio is excellent , we get it as an appetizer. The portions are very generous.

I work in the mall and I’m Victor and a regular customer of this kebab restaurant, ordering from them 3–4 times a week. Until recently, mall employees were allowed to use their restroom without any problem. Now they have added a code lock, and even though they know me and I explained that I’m a frequent customer, they still refused to let me use the restroom unless I bought food at that moment.

This policy is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Denying restroom access to someone who supports your business several times a week shows a lack of basic courtesy and customer service. I hope the management reconsiders this approach, because it leaves a very negative impression.

Took 20 minutes just to be noticed at the host stand, several tables open, but they were busy. Not one waitress wanted to come over & greet us, I had to go in and ask if we could put our name down. Then we waited another 20? Waitress forgot my wine, 1/2 way through the meal, I had to ask for it. SALADS LOOKED 1/2 FULL??? Rice given on the Family Feast platter looked like they cut back on portion.....Not as good as it could be. Portion sizes looked a bit smaller. Very little dressing in salad, then $2.95 for a little ramikin extra??? Had to find a waitress any time we needed anything, no real attention to table! Good tasting food though. Don't cut back on portions to save a $....it is noticed!

The food quality has gone up significantly since they replaced the manager. The food used be either undercooked or half-burnt. But now, it's perfect, especially the beef kebab. Service still needs aome work since they are a bit understaffed and the servers are hard to get hold of when you need something extra. They should provide salt and pepper and sumaq by default too, but they don't and forget to bring them when you tell them. Well, nowhere is perfect. We are very happy to have Riverside Panini here.

There were not too many diners at the time our party of 4 was there and yet we had to ask 5 times for the drinks we had ordered before the food had arrived... Other than that the food was prepared perfectly and tasted outstanding...

slow online delivery staff...... not worth the wait time...

Their service is horrible. I went to the restaurant alone and waited for a waiter to come and take my order, but no one came for 10–15 minutes. While I was waiting, another family—a group of four—arrived. Finally, the waiter came and took their order first, even though I had already been waiting for 15 minutes. It felt like he prioritized the larger group because he expected a bigger tip than from a single customer like me.

Their food arrived first, and I had to wait another 15 minutes. In total, I waited almost an hour. This was very unfair and extremely poor service. Sometimes they bring the food cold—the steak is cold, or the rice is not warm enough. They also don’t bother to come and refill drinks, especially lemonade. Food preparation is extremely slow; you have to wait at least 45 minutes to one hour for your meal.

Once you had Janet's in Duarte its hard to find any other good Mediterranean food. Service was great.
