I didnt know what to expect when arriving at Panini Café as I had never eaten at one before. I watched this building being built from day one and thought I would try it before going to my destination on a Wednesday evening. I thought it might be like a Corner Bakery or PDM, but was greeted by a hostess and she escorted to me my seat. I thought I was going to order a Panini until I saw the menu and was so happy to see they had a large variety of food, including Greek mousaka which I love! So I ordered it with the basmati rice and Greek salad. It wasnt a plate that came out, but a platter!! Tons of food and it was so delicious! I had enough for dinner that night and lunch the next day. Good price for what you get. Im definitely going back and trying other foods there. Service was excellent which Im all about good customer service. Cant find anything negative to say which is why I gave it a 5 star rating.

We tried an order of the flatbread and dip, a dumpling and the goulash with red wine sauce. It was all amazing! The goulash on the barley was perfect. Cant wait to eat here again. They dont sell no booze here so BYOB. Its a small casual place where you order at counter and they bring you your food. There is a side covered patio, two tables inside and one table on the sidewalk. They checked on us a few times and were very nice. Love the food! You wont be disappointed .

I came here for a business meeting straight from a lunch meeting so I didnt sample the menu and cannot speak toward that. That being said though, the staff was very pleasant and never pressured us to order food (though one eventually did and she said it was very tasty). I would certainly go back again whether I was hungry or not.

Terrible place. We waited over 25 minutes, while they are serving the people who arrived after us. We observed the person who was sweeping the floor also touching the plates being served. Ask to talk to manger and found out the sweeper is the manager also. We left without eating. Health department should check this place!

Great restaurant.Good food, good servers and grate ambient. I met the management and they are very Profesional team. I go to the PCH and Irvine spectrum locations. Good wholesome Mediterranean food and flavors. Good for both lunch and dinner.

Food portions are large! Service was incredible and the menu featured a large variety of items plus a beer and wine bar. Highly recommend of youre in the area. Great place to wait out your oil change or vehicle service at Jiffy Lube!

We got delivered our food from here and the panini sandwiches were not good at all. The only thing which was good was baklava and we ordered two but got only one. Not a good service and not polite when we called about the order.

Great place to take your loved one when you need something a step above Corner Bakery or Panera. Weve used them for takeout for a big gathering as well and its one of the best "I cant believe this is takeout" options.

Always great service and delicious food, the extra skewers are over-priced! They should have a steak and chicken combo.. I dont want to pay 12-15 dollars for a skewer of chick or steak to make it a combo.

Terrible experience they overcharged me on the bill and didnt even bother to give a discount after they knew they made a mistake. Breakfast is very low quality. The vegetable omelet came not sautéed.

Large portions and excellent Mediterranean style food. The chicken kabob was very tender and tasty. Friday lunch was very busy but service was quick and friendly. Price is good value for what you get.

Great tasting food with a friendly staff. Their chicken Kabob is amazing. I have yet to try a dish that I wasnt satisfied with. Be sure to order one of their dishes that are served with rice/salad.

My experience was good. We ordered Lamb Sheek Kabob and charbroiled chicken Kabob . Food was more bland and the service need to be definitely fast. Overall 3.5/5. The location was pleasant.

Great value - but holy smokes do they get busy during lunch. I had the steak skewer and their lunch portion could have easily been a dinner serving.

Such great food. Fresh and yummy. Service is good too. Nice environment. Chicken kabobs are from farms where theyre raised without antibiotics.
