Panini Kabob Grill - Mission Valley - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's one of the best places for a great meal in the area. The establishment is consistently sparkling clean, and the food is absolutely delicious with generous portions. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating.

I visited this restaurant for the first time this evening. Initially, I thought the amount of food was good, but it was also a bit pricey. I requested my salad dressing on the side, but it arrived drenched, with the lettuce swimming in a sweet dressing. While I don't mind sweet flavors, I prefer to dip my fork for a subtle taste. I inquired about iced tea, and the server confirmed they had it. Unfortunately, when I added my sweetener, the tea tasted nasty and excessively sweet, as if it had gone bad. At the end of the meal, I asked if it was peach tea, and the waitress confirmed it was "ginger peach. " I explained that this was why it tasted funny, and she responded, "Oh, you didn't like it, " noting the full glass still on the table. I mentioned it was my first time and no one had informed me about the flavor. She did not offer to remove it from the bill. Despite this, I still gave a dollar tip, though I honestly felt like not tipping at all to compensate for the over-priced and nasty tea.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Six stars, easily. My experience was fantastic! The chicken kabob was perfectly grilled, tender, and bursting with flavor. I also enjoyed the strawberry salad, which was crisp, bright, and downright addictive. The flavors were clean and done right. I’ll absolutely be back!

I would give zero stars if I could. I do NOT recommend this location at all. We took a guest here for dinner, and this restaurant honestly left us embarrassed. The moment we walked in, the odor inside was horrible — it smelled like a bathroom and sewage. Because of that, we chose to sit outside on the patio. The food was extremely disappointing. We ordered koobideh kebabs and they tasted nothing like meat — just pure fat and not fresh at all. My guest couldn’t eat their food, and I ended up sick all night. On top of that, the staff kept carrying large trash bags back and forth while we were eating, and they were mopping and sweeping right next to us without any awareness that people were dining. The worst part is that I called the next day. The lady I spoke with said she would talk to management and call me back after her two days off — and she never called back.

My experience at this restaurant was disappointing, especially considering it's usually one of my favorites. We came for my grandma’s birthday, and the service was poor. Her food, just a soup, arrived last, and no one ever brought refills. It was upsetting to see her treated that way on her special day. I hope the service improves because this was very disappointing.

My experience at Panini Kabob Grill was incredibly positive! The restaurant consistently delivers fresh, flavorful, and satisfying food. I was impressed by the high-quality ingredients used, from the perfectly grilled kabobs and tender chicken to the fresh salads and warm, fluffy pita bread. Everything tasted homemade and healthy without sacrificing flavor. The portions are generous, the service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is clean and welcoming. It’s a great spot for a quick lunch, dinner with friends, or even takeout when you want something wholesome and delicious. If you’re craving Mediterranean food done right, Panini Kabob Grill is a go-to favorite that never disappoints!

My experience at this restaurant over the last three visits has been consistently the same. The food and portions are great, but you need to be prepared to wait. The service is incredibly slow, and it always seems like they are short-staffed, which even impacts the cleanliness of the bathrooms. I hope the owner notices, as many people were upset during my last three visits, waiting for their checks, drinks, or to have their orders taken.

My lunch experience was marred by the staff's rudeness. When I asked for a small favor, I was met with an abrupt ‘no’ and negative body language. While the food was rated a 4, the service significantly detracted from the overall experience.

My experience at the restaurant was fantastic! The food was delicious, with the koobideh being nicely seasoned and the grilled chicken cooked to perfection. The service was great, and the overall atmosphere was also a highlight. I dined with a group of 2 people, and we found the price per person to be between $10–20. We enjoyed our meal in the indoor dining area.

My experience at this restaurant was very positive. The food was delicious and very tasty, especially the lamb. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was okay initially but improved when the loud children left. My wife and I had a great time and will definitely be back.
