Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled within Glendale Galleria, Panini Kabob Grill - Glendale Galleria offers an authentic Mediterranean dining experience that is both inviting and vibrant. Specializing in expertly grilled kabobs and fresh, flavorful dishes, this restaurant caters to lovers of hearty, nutritious meals that burst with rich, savory notes and a touch of the exotic.

The menu at Panini Kabob Grill is a celebration of Mediterranean culinary traditions, featuring an enticing selection of a la carte skewers like the Salmon Skewer, where sustainable Atlantic salmon is charbroiled to perfection and paired with smoky grilled vegetables. Seafood enthusiasts will appreciate the Shrimp Skewer, boasting five jumbo prawns with a delightful char, balanced beautifully by the medley of fresh veggies. For vegetarian diners, the Vegetable Skewer offers a colorful plate of zucchini, yellow squash, white elder mushrooms, red bell pepper, roma tomatoes, and onions—each bite rich with natural sweetness and charred depth. The wholesome organic tofu skewer is another standout that doesn’t compromise on flavor.

Sweet endings at Panini Kabob Grill are just as tempting. Indulge in the Homemade Pistachio Baklava, where layers of crisp phyllo pastry are rolled around chopped pistachios to create a wonderfully crunchy and nutty delight. For those craving something more velvety, the Homemade Tiramisu delivers a luscious combination of espresso-soaked ladyfingers topped with sweetened mascarpone—a perfect finish to any Mediterranean feast.

Families will find the thoughtfully curated kids menu reassuring and satisfying, with simple yet delicious options like bowtie pasta tossed in butter and Parmesan, or a charbroiled chicken breast served alongside fluffy basmati rice. These smaller plates cater perfectly to younger palates without sacrificing quality.

Beyond the menu, the atmosphere at Panini Kabob Grill Glendale Galleria fosters warmth and hospitality. Spacious and comfortable seating arrangements create an inviting spot for both casual meals and family gatherings.

Patrons consistently praise the robust, fresh flavors and generous portions, with Arrianna Hamrah Martin affirming that the quality here lives up to the stellar reputation of Panini locations elsewhere. Whether you’re savoring juicy chicken and beef kabobs or folding pieces of warm pita into creamy hummus, every bite affirms why this spot has quickly become a Glendale favorite. The balance between vibrant Mediterranean spices and grilled goodness reflects a true passion for culinary craftsmanship.

In essence, Panini Kabob Grill at Glendale Galleria is a must-visit for anyone seeking Mediterranean cuisine that’s rich in flavor and crafted with care.

We LOVE panini and were so excited to see them open a glendale location in the galleria! Happy to report that the food, service and dining experience is exactly the same across our other favorite locations!! For the best chicken and beef kebabs in town (and I’m Persian) you HAVE to stop by!

The food is spot on, hearty and leaves you with a happy heart. Rich in flavor and fresh! Iris is an absolute pleasure to interact with. Her warm demeanor and kind nature made our Family experience outstanding, even better than excellent and quite possibly in my top 10 dining experiences. The quality of service from Iris and the line staff is wonderful. They truly make this place shine as bright at a fancy restaurant. 10/5 Star service in a 5/5 star eatery. I will definitely come back often! The people here are the most valuable asset.

This restaurant is awesome.  We sat outside. Though it was at the far end of the restaurant we weren't ignored for service.  Actually the service was A+. The food was delicious. We ordered the family pack and switched to three different type of meats. Came with two very large salads. Delicious. We also ordered the humus trio. Was very good. The place has excellent service, good food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely come back.

Highly recommend this newly opened restaurant in Galleria Glendale. The appetizer platter was well worth the price - 3 kinds of hummus, falafel, tzatziki, pita bread and caprese salad. We love their beef and chicken kabob but not the lamb kabob. Generous serving of fresh salad comes with the entree. Both the Mediterranean and Caesar salad were great. Service was amazing, too. We chose to be seated outside since we had a stroller. Our server was Abegail/Abby and another guy, who are both awesome. They also have their own washroom inside the restaurant which is great.

Tried Panini Kabob after a friend recommended it and I was really impressed! I got the steak with rice — the rice has this subtle creamy flavor that you don’t usually get at other kebab spots, and it’s so good. The grilled onions were a nice touch too, especially with the juicy steak (not dry at all, which I love). Plus, the Caesar salad came in a huge portion. All of that for about $20 feels like such a good deal. Definitely a place I’d come back to!
