My brother recommended this place and I wasn’t expecting much since it’s in the mall but wow was I surprised. The staff is friendly and professional. I ordered pita and hummus before my meal and the pita was cut into triangles and lightly toasted. The hummus was flavorful. next I ordered the salmon kabob and an amazing salad with dates and was shocked. I kissed the salmon with lemon and along with their seasoning there was a unique flavor I couldn’t get enough of. the vegetables also had a flavoring to them when I expected plain grilled veggie. Let’s talk about that salad…never have I had dates in my salad but it was an interesting combination with the strawberries and nuts. It’s priced on the higher side but worth every penny. Loved all of it and I can’t wait to go back. I wish they weren’t in the mall though.

Stopped in for lunch while shopping at the mall. Upon arrival we were greeted by our host and quickly seated. This was mid-afternoon so the lunch crowd was pretty much gone. There were plenty seats available and I would say it wasn’t very busy at this time. However after the waitress took our order she really didn’t tend to us the rest of the meal. We needed drink refills and she never stopped by, after we were done with our meal we asked the gal picking up our dishes for drink refills. Other than that the food was good the restrooms were clean, sta onff was pleasant and the establishment was well taken care of. I dropped a star due the the refill issue but was not disappointed with the meal.

We love panini grill. Their chicken kabobs are so tender and tasty. The hummus trio is excellent , we get it as an appetizer. The portions are very generous.

Located in the Galleria at Tyler with entrance from both inside the mall and from parking lot facing Tyler St near Red Robin.
I placed my lunch order online and walked in to pick it up. My order was ready at the time promised online. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming.
The restaurant is clean and organized with great decor and outside/patio seating.
I ordered their Mediterranean salad and added chicken. Both the salad & chicken were fresh and tasted delicious. Portions are generous. I sure had a very satisfying lunch.
Overall, I had a great experience at this location and can’t wait to return and try more of their menu items.

This is our go to in Riverside for kabobs or Mediterranean meal. We typically order the family combo whether dining in or out. I substitute 1 or even 2 of the chicken kabobs with the koobideh. My son likes the lamb kabob and my mom liked the colossal shrimp kabob. My favorite salad from their menu is the strawberry dates salad. We have also tried some of their pasta entries and they are also pretty good. For dessert, we usually share and we usually go with their tiramisu and the baklava with a side of ice cream. The only downside for us is the wait time to be seated. I guess it’s a pretty popular place here in the galleria mall at Tyler. One other time, I noticed them serving food for a group that were seated later than we did. Also servers are not attentive to tables maybe too busy (water refill, requests, etc.) so I’m taking some stars for that. But overall, we have always been satisfied with the food here so we can get past some flaws to their service.

I appreciate the reminder about the missing item (the drink), but I hadn’t had a chance to check the order yet. I respect the process, but checking is usually a responsibility we both share. What bothered me was how he spoke to me—he was very rude and disrespectful. I hope the communication can be more professional in the future.

I work in the mall and I’m Victor and a regular customer of this kebab restaurant, ordering from them 3–4 times a week. Until recently, mall employees were allowed to use their restroom without any problem. Now they have added a code lock, and even though they know me and I explained that I’m a frequent customer, they still refused to let me use the restroom unless I bought food at that moment.
This policy is extremely disappointing and unprofessional. Denying restroom access to someone who supports your business several times a week shows a lack of basic courtesy and customer service. I hope the management reconsiders this approach, because it leaves a very negative impression.

Their service is horrible. I went to the restaurant alone and waited for a waiter to come and take my order, but no one came for 10–15 minutes. While I was waiting, another family—a group of four—arrived. Finally, the waiter came and took their order first, even though I had already been waiting for 15 minutes. It felt like he prioritized the larger group because he expected a bigger tip than from a single customer like me.
Their food arrived first, and I had to wait another 15 minutes. In total, I waited almost an hour. This was very unfair and extremely poor service. Sometimes they bring the food cold—the steak is cold, or the rice is not warm enough. They also don’t bother to come and refill drinks, especially lemonade. Food preparation is extremely slow; you have to wait at least 45 minutes to one hour for your meal.
