From our freshly grilled kabobs to our homemade soups and refreshing salad dressings, everything is prepared in-house daily. It’s no wonder our guests constantly rave about the exceptional taste and quality of our food. Once you experience the PKG difference, we’re confident you’ll keep coming back for all occasions.
Established in 1997 as Panini Cafe in Corona Del Mar, CA, we began with an Italian-influenced menu but quickly evolved into a celebration of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. Our inclusive menu now features a wide variety of entrees, appetizers, salads, soups, and desserts to satisfy every palate.
Guests particularly love our signature charbroiled kabobs, which have become a staple of our menu. In 2017, to better reflect our diverse range of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern offerings, we changed our name to Panini Kabob Grill.
Thanks to the popularity of our freshly made food and the welcoming atmosphere of our restaurants โ perfect for anything from a quick bite to a weekend date night โ we’ve expanded across Southern California and into Arizona.

6 months agoFrom the moment I stepped into Panini Kabob Grill in downtown Los Angeles, I knew I was in for a treat. The ambiance strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort, setting the stage for a truly delightful dining experience. The meal was nothing short of spectacular. Every dish was a testament to the chef's expertise and passion for Mediterranean cuisine. The flavors were authentic, bold, and perfectly balanced, creating a symphony of taste that delighted my palate. The standout dish for me was the kabob. Cooked to perfection, the meat was succulent, flavorful, and melted in my mouth. The accompanying sides were equally impressive, enhancing the overall experience with their freshness and quality. What truly sets Panini Kabob Grill apart, however, is the exemplary service. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm, making us feel welcomed and valued. In summary, Panini Kabob Grill is a culinary gem in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Whether you're a local or just passing through, it's a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in some of the finest Mediterranean cuisine the city has to offer. Highly recommended!

9 months agoThis one of the best places for Kabobs and falafel in LA. Iโve been ordering from here (just easier than finding parking in downtown) since 5years and I would say that the quality is well maintained! The falafel have a unique taste and thereโs no match! The food is always fresh and hot, usually delivered within 30-40min. The chicken kabobs are juicy and tasty with options of rice or salad on side! The grilled sandwiches are also a good option with your choice of protein!

a year agoSoup & kabob dishes are excellent. Dessert menu is kind of limited- would be great if they offered different types of baklava. Service is on the slow side. Recommended dishes: beef koobideh kabob, chicken shish kabob, hummus trio, lentil soup, chicken veg soup, chicken pesto panini.

2 months agoThe falafel plate is delicious! I used to be a huge fan of this place, but my past two visits have been quite disappointing. I asked for my steak to be cooked well-done, but it hasn't been on my last two visits, as shown in the attached photos. I didn't receive a replacement the first time, because I was too far away to return. However, my plate was replaced on my second visit today (5/11). I don't understand how they could give me this pink meat and claim that it is well done. I ripped apart every piece to show that it is pink and red, so that's why it looks so unappetizing.
