" It was my first time at Panini Kabob Grill, and I loved it! The chicken kebabs were perfectly marinated and grilled.

" I visited Panini Kabob Grill and tried their lentil soup for the first time, and I have to say, it was fantastic! The flavors were rich and comforting. However, my main course of chicken kebab was slightly overcooked. The service was friendly, but we did wait a bit longer than expected. Still, I'd like to give this place another go.

" Panini Kabob is truly a gem in Irvine. I have been coming here for years, and every visit is better than the last. The beef koobideh kabobs are incredible—perfectly spiced and grilled just right. The side salads are fresh and nicely portioned. While the service can vary, the food quality is consistently outstanding. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered this restaurant through friends and decided to try it out. The experience was good overall; the portions were large and definitely enough to share.

" My friends and I chose Panini Kabob Grill for dinner last weekend, and it was a fun night! The ambiance was nice, with lively music. We ordered the sampler platter, which was amazing! Everything from hummus to kebabs was delicious. The only drawback was the slightly longer wait time for food. " (*Curated Review*)

" The kabobs at Panini Kabob Grill are amazing! Juicy, well-seasoned, and simply tasty. The atmosphere is casual and laid-back, a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. I also shared a baklava dessert, which was delightful. I'll definitely recommend this place for good food! " (*Curated Review*)
