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.
I only recently discovered this restaurant, but I already want to share my delight! Everything I ordered was absolutely delicious!! I highly recommend visiting this place or taking out.

I visited last night only 2 servers taking orders, restaurant was pack and I am taking about dine in not carry out. I mean carry out was busy too however dine in experience last night wasn't that good. We had to leave our table to remind them to come over to take our order . We waited 25 min for food.Food temperature wasn't hot and I am taking about the meat which came out of the grill so I why did it took them 25 min. Any how I will think hard to go to this place next time.

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.
