Always a favorite!! Consistently delivering delicious meals and serving size is plentiful. The price point is higher, but every meal provides me with leftovers. Takeout is usually my go to from this location. Ordering is easy. Food is ready on time or faster everytime.
The wrap, chicken, salad, dressing, hummus, bread, and pasta were all delicious and hearty. My only issue was the Pistachio Baklava was TINY. It was two conservative bites (or nibbles), lolz.
Excellent chicken and beef kabobs! Service was great, restaurant clean, will be back.
I've been to the downtown location and I'm so glad I found this one in Long Beach! I love the koobideh here. Large portions and good quality food make the prices worth it. Great service, clean and nice establishment, come try!
Food is always good here. We all had beef koobideh kabob dishes. Service is spot on, "Q" was very attentive and the ambiance was warm and cozy. Plenty if parking. We'll be back.
I like the ambience of this place-clean and not so loud. The fact that it's very close to where I live. Very convenient. The service is good. The waiters are very friendly and accommodating. Their food is worth craving for and decent price. My favorite is the grilled chicken kabobs. If you happen to be in the neighborhood, give this place a try.
Pleasantly surprised! I ordered the chicken Cesar wrap with a Mediterranean salad. The wrap was GOOD! It came with a dipping sauce that was delicious too. The salad wasn't that good. It didn't taste fresh so it was a solid no for me. The restrooms were very CLEAN. Parking was horrible ( common for downtown) Customer service was GREAT! 5/5 would recommend! Portion sizes were on the smaller side.. so if you like to eat a lot you won't be full.
Had takeout from Panini Kabob Grill with some friends and it definitely hit the spot. I love me some authentic middle eastern food and this spot is serving up the classics. When the food arrived it was packaged well and the dishes were organized. It was easy to figure out whose was whose. The portion sizes are extremely generous. You can definitely split each dish if you wanted to. We had a lot of leftovers. I like that the to go portions are organized well with meat to one side and veggies on the other. The containers were spill/leak proof so that this is a great spot for takeaway. I had the chicken kabob plate which came with rice and grilled veggies. The chicken was super tasty and juicy. I love the charred flavor that they get on the chicken and veggies. The rice was the only bite I didn't 100% love, tastes a little dry and overcooked. Otherwise those as a cohesive dish it was definitely a 4/5 and tasty overall. The sides of hummus and cucumber yogurt sauce were both very very good. I'm happy I went with the chicken as I didn't love the beef kabobs as much. Their breads here are fanatic. The pita was very soft and fresh. I also loved their grilled regular bread. Tasted so good to dip in their sauces and dips. Absolutely loved it. This is a very tasty spot in Long Beach if you're craving middle eastern food. They have a couple of other locations so definitely check them out.
