I prefer this venue very much. there is a very special feeling. The cuisine is exeptionaly good. the service is efficient and the waiters are professional. The pay is honest. greatly recommend.

Okay, it isn't cheap, but it is god-tier Mediterranean food. I'd seen the effusive reviews on Next door, and they weren't wrong: this place is special. Even the bread was amazing.

I certainly like their food and customer service, awesome location to my apartment. The employees are always very kind. Will come back again.

I've been to Panini Kabob Grill (PKG) at various locations, but never realized they offered breakfast as well. The large and clean location in Santa Monica was quiet on this Saturday morning. Our server Alfredo was courteous and attentive. As with most meals here, expect a generous portion size. The breakfast combo with the peppered bacon and nicely seasoned potatoes was simple but delicious. PKG is a great choice if you're looking to enjoy your brunch experience (not just the food).

Falafel was the tight, crunchy-stale kind I associate with cafeterias. Pita they gave us was mostly stale and broke apart. Kebab was kinda one note. Overall it was serviceable but nothing special-with the exception of the hummus trio which was unusual and good. We might go in a pinch (love Mediterranean) be we won't order take-out again, as the sheer amount of plastic waste was irresponsibly overkill. All of this can be done in compostable boxes and sides definitely don't all need to go in their own packages. We had a full bag of plastic to get rid of after food for three.

We found this restaurant several months ago and now we are regulars. I haven't been in a restaurant that has friendly service and great healthy food all at great prices in long time. This restaurant has it all in cool relaxing environment. Love this place! Highly recommend this restaurant!!!!

I said that I will never go back to Panini Grill again after visiting the Century City location. That location was a disaster. Very dark, with terrible food. It just so happened that my wife and I were in Santa Monica this time. What the heck, we decided to give it another try after all. We had an amazing time this time! Being in a touristy location I had only one complaint about something that management can do nothing do about. It's extremely noisy. Bikers, buses, cars, everything outside is so loud that sometimes it seems that you have to yell for your other party to hear. It was chicken kabobs for dinner that ended up being delicious. The meat was tender and I love the fact that can replace plain white boring rice with bulgur pilaf. I think I may betray my favorite Luna Grill for this location for my future Mediterranean food endeavors.
We love the food. Usually order the family style chicken platter, brown rice, and avocado salad. Food is excellent. Aside from the great food, the servers are just as much friendly and accommodating. They invited me to download their app, which is perfect because I accumulate points after each time we dine in. Super healthy, super nice, not expensive....lately this place has become my go-to for fast healthy food

On a lunch date with my friend Ellen...we started out heading to a restaurant near the beach, but it was overcast and traffic was horrendous. She suggested Panini Kabob Grill. I am sooo happy she did. This is has the best Mediterranean Food, hands down. I ordered the Chicken Kabob Platter, which comes with your choice of salad and rice. The chicken was so moist.. the best I've ever had in a kabob dish. Thankfully, I opted for only one kabob skewer.. the food on the platter was plentiful and beautiful looking. I will definitely be back when I'm in Santa Monica. You won't be disappointed by eating at Panini Kabob Grill. P.S. We decided to share dessert .. the Tiramisu., the BOMB

Legit good Mediterranean food. The beef kabob is too legit . Service here is pretty quick and great place to come for large parties.

Always excellent food and service. The portions are huge and the prices reasonable. The food is unfailingly delicious and any choice has been a palate pleaser! Service is always fast, helpful and friendly. We had Vanessa as our server today and she was the best! She is cute as a button and a top notch waitress. They ought to clone her! Highly recommend this restaurant.....

The salmon sandwich was just ok! Nothing special. Service was pretty quick. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. The food not so much!
