Panini Kabob Grill, a California-based restaurant chain known for its healthful Mediterranean cuisine, is set to open a new location in Chandler, Arizona, in 2026. While the specific address has not yet been revealed, the announcement on the company’s website confirms the expansion is “coming soon” to the city.
Founded in 1997, Panini Kabob Grill offers a diverse menu featuring Mediterranean dishes infused with Persian influences. The restaurant emphasizes the use of high-quality, fresh ingredients, preparing all meals to order. This commitment ensures that customers receive dishes made without pre-cooked or re-heated food.
The menu boasts a variety of marinated kabobs, available in proteins such as chicken, beef, salmon, and jumbo shrimp. Additionally, customers can enjoy a selection of pastas, soups, salads, and appetizers. Catering services are also provided for events, with options including hummus trays, kabobs, assorted salads, and desserts. Family pasta trays are available as well, designed to feed four to six people, and come with bread and a choice of Mediterranean Greek, romaine avocado, or Caesar salad.
With approximately 30 locations primarily concentrated in Southern California, Panini Kabob Grill is actively pursuing growth. In addition to the Chandler restaurant, the company plans to open several more establishments in California and a location in Las Vegas.
The expansion into Chandler signifies the growing popularity of Mediterranean cuisine in the region and reflects a broader trend of health-conscious dining options gaining traction across the United States. As the restaurant prepares for its opening, local residents can look forward to enjoying a diverse array of flavorful dishes crafted with care and fresh ingredients.
