We tried the chicken, beef, and lamb. I’d say the beef was my favorite, followed by the chicken—which my family actually preferred over the beef, unlike me. I wouldn’t recommend the lamb, as it was tasteless and chewy in my opinion. The wait was about 20–30 minutes. One thing that bothered us was the outdoor heater positioned directly above the seating area—it was extremely hot. They told us they couldn’t lower the heat since all the heaters are controlled by a single controller. After a while, we asked to be moved indoors because we couldn’t tolerate the heat, especially with it directly overhead. So I’d recommend sitting indoors if possible.

Panini Kabob Grill at Irvine Park Place absolutely deserves five stars. The food here is consistently fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked — you can really taste the quality in every bite. I ordered a few items, and everything from the grilled meats to the rice and salads was spot on. The portions are generous, the ingredients are fresh, and it all feels like a healthy yet satisfying meal. The restaurant itself is clean, modern, and comfortable, with a nice atmosphere whether you’re dining in or taking food to go. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly and just right. It’s clear they take pride in both their service and food. If you’re in Irvine and want something that’s both delicious and wholesome, Panini Kabob Grill is the place to go. Highly recommended!

I have placed delivery orders repeatedly over the past couple of months for corporate meetings and this location has been fantastic. They are always on time or early, the food is always consistent quality wise, the catering offerings are great for groups especially with dietary restrictions. I've had numerous other businesses cancel on me the day of so now I stick to Panini Kabob-they never let me down

We are a big Kabob Koobideh fan and this place has the BEST of the BEST koobideh. The portion of their family is so generous with 2 types of salad, two huge portions of rice and 3 chicken or 6 koobideh scewers if you substitute. Also they have the best hummus, so make sure you try their hummus trio. The service is always fast and great too. Our favorite Panini location for a casual family outing.
