Panini Kabob Grill - Del Mar

This is our second dining experience with a Panini Kabob Grill. Emma was our waitress this evening, and suggested the beautiful tofu and vegetable kabob it was absolutely fabulous. My fiancé had the Alfredo linguine and said it was cooked to perfection. The ambience was a beautiful setting with music playing in the courtyard sitting out on the patio. They have heaters that made the evening extremely comfortable. We’re not the couple to order dessert but Emma told us the banana bread pudding was the best and she didn’t disappoint with her suggestion. If you’re looking for a great place, that’s local in Carmel Valley/Del Mar with a variety of foods from beef, seafood & vegetarian options give this place a try. And their prices are extremely reasonable. I’m gonna give this a five star rating and we will be back compliments to the chef for a fabulous night out.

I come here every few weeks since the pandemic started because the kabobs are delicious! Service is great even when they’re very busy with tables and pick-ups (they were doing their best on a very busy Monday night), and the taste of the entrees is certainly one of the best (coming from a Persian as well). Highly recommend the salmon, steak, and shrimp kabobs- these are my go-to and always on rotation. Bulgar wheat side is also a nice switch from the usual white/brown rice.

We were a party of 6 and sat at outdoor table. The heater was only on one end of the table so the person sitting on the other end was cold. There was an additional heat lamp. Service was slow maybe because it was a Saturday evening. We sat outside for a good 10-15mins before the waitress showed up. The reason for the 4 star is for the food which was well seasoned and large quantity. I probably will order to-go in the future.
