Paramount Fine Foods

we ordered some food for dine in. the service was good but the quantity and quality was not that good.

This Paramount location is fantastic! The service is fast, friendly, and welcoming and the food is absolutely delicious and flavorful.
My favorite is the mini mixed grill — a platter that brings all the tasty together in one delightful presentation. The zaatar manakeesh with thyme and sesame flavors is a must have too!
I love the relaxed atmosphere here with comfy seats and awesome food.
Would highly recommend it to everyone.

Came here with a group of 12 on Sunday night. The place is brightly lit and has a modern, fresh look. You pay at a counter and they bring the food to you.
I ordered the chicken and beef shawarama wrap for 14.59, 16.50 after tax i believe. it was a good sized portion. The chicken and beef tasted juicy and their garlic mash sauce tasted really delicious. I enjoyed the food, albeit a littleeee on the pricier side. I’d come back again if I was in the area.

Food was alright but they make you pay before you start eating, never seen that before. This lack of trust between the owner and the customers is not a good feeling.

The restaurant has a great atmosphere. It’s nice to sit down and enjoy a meal, but be prepared to shell out quite a bit of money for your meal. While I found the food to be tasty, and enjoyable I did not appreciate the shell shock I received when I got my bill. I basically paid about eight dollars for a sandwich that is a little less than 6 inches.

Pita is pita… except from Paramount! Something in the way they bake it or the dough ingredients… I dunno but whatever it is– keep doing it! I’ve eaten this pita the day after heated up in the microwave and it still tasted so good!
Anyway, again another resto that gives you complimentary pita appetizers straight from their oven steaming hot when you rip it open!
This time we bought for take out to feed a family of 6 grown adults. We ordered the babaganoush dip, cheese and spinach «pizza», and the full combo platter that came with 2 pitas and hummus dip. We called in advance, drove, and it was already ready! We were all very satisfied and everything was fresh and delicious!
I usually dine-​in but this time we did takeout and will probably do it again next time!

I went on Sat March 12 2016, with a friend to the Scarborough/​North York location.
We ordered 2 mains: shish tawouk and shawarma plate. They were both sorta disappointing for the price, quality, & quantity. Although the shish tawouk was fresh and juicy and you got 2 skewers of chicken breast. We had to ask for hot sauce twice (at the counter when ordering and when it didn’t come again when they brought the food).
The fresh pita was warm and delicious.
I wouldn’t go back again unless I was desperate for quick food. Take out might be better (I.e. Maybe they would give more food for $ 12−13/each).
Ambience: nice for a fast food middle eastern place. Nice lighting.
I’ve been a total of 4 times and I find it to be mediocre at best. Thus the ³⁄₅ stars only.

This place isn’t as good as all the hype. The food is dry and burnt. I wonder if that’s just the way this food is…

Wow. Still crap but maybe worst when they opened. They have not adjusted their stupid ordering. Some get bread some don’t. Some get water some don’t. I was on the don’t side. You wait quite the while for a lamb wrap but waiters laugh at the time of delivery. Why does Toronto continue to have these sub par over priced places? Now i got to go to Esquire restaurant since i am still starved.
What a waste of money? This place must be a money pit of loss. Ps. Don’t tip as they clearly don’t get the meaning of full service.

Nice restaurant, although the ordering is a little goofy. You sit, look at a menu, then go down a corridor to order, then a waitress brings it to your table. Tipping is unclear, since you’ve already paid when you order. Food was quite good, but over-​priced. I’d eat here anytime, but if I had the choice, I’d pick one of the myriad of other little kebab/​shawarma places in the area.

Absolutely disgusting.
I don’t know where to begin. There’s no one there to seat you, you have to seat yourself. That’s fine but all the tables are dirty. When we’re finally seated, the waiter tells me he will clean the table for us. I waited 10 minutes and had to further complain that I wanted them to clean the table.
When they finally come to clean the table, they only wipe it off with a cloth, leaving grease all over the table. Absolutely filthy. To top it off, they accidentally brought an Oder to our table. We had to tell them to take it back as it was a mistake.
I’m a pretty tolerant person, so I let it slide and have them a chance. They brought dishes and cutlery and they were just as disgusting — there was food remains on the plates and cutlery. Oh and did I tell you about the ripped menu?
Do not go here. I’ve been to other locations and the food was sub-​par. The cleanliness on the outside of the store should be a reflection of the kitchen, which is guaranteed filthy. Go to a restaurant that respects both you and your money.

Finding the perfect Arabic food is not easy. Paramount has delicious menu for that. Their grilled platter Is really good. Also try the hummus and arais. The chicken shawarma seemed a bit salty but was delicious. Over all would rate the experience fantastic.

Decided to try this place because a friend mentioned they had a play place inside. My toddlers absolutely loved it and my husband an I were able to enjoy dinner while the kiddos ran around. The food tasted good and their Paramount special drink was pricy but excellent. I would strongly recommend this to someone with small kids that wants to be able to go out for dinner somewhere the kids will love that is not McDonald’s!

I have been here couple times. Everything is nice here. their foods are amazing!
Good stuff!
Will defenentl go there again!

Having just finished up a meeting, we went to this location for a quick lunch.
For those who haven’t been, this was a little bit different. You have to order at a counter, a waiter doesn’t take your order. If I had known that going in, then I would have sat there like an idiot waiting for the waiter to take our order. My co-​worker laughed it off and off I went to place our order.
I ordered the salad with a side of the lamb skewer. She ordered the chicken wrap. (keep in mind that they were different names, I just don’t remember what the names were).
Overall, the food was pretty good. The wrap, I was told, was fantastic. She said that she would love to go back again. My salad, was ok, but how do you fail a salad? forget the lettuce? The problem I had was that they served the skewer to me after I finished the salad. That didn’t make sense to me, and the meat was a little bit overcooked.
The desserts were amazing. I ordered the rings and the diamonds (I think it is like a mini baklava) and they were delicious. Bought some for everyone at the office and they were flying out of the box. I was disappointed as I only ate one piece… not impressed with the office staff right now.
Pros
Great Dessert
Good food
Not really any service
Cons
Meat came after the salad
Looked stupid waiting for the waiter to take our order… will look cool next time i guess.

Never going back.
The self-​ordering in the corner is inefficient to say the least. Do they realize how hard it is to do that without your entire party there? And if my party happens to include 3 kids, it’s virtually impossible.
I’ve been there twice and ordered 12 meals. 6 of the 12 were wrong. Last time, my fries were cold, my daughter’s shawarma was cold, my dad’s order came 10 minutes after the rest of us… should I go on?
I didn’t even want to go a 2^nd time but my kids forced me because of the play area. But there won’t be a third. I’ll go Lara’s Restaurant or Esquire nearby for similar food which is better and is either full service or fast food. None of this in-​between stupidity. To

Tried the following dishes:
1. Philly Shawarma Pizza
— Beef Shawarma, peppers and onions, topped with melted mozzarella cheese.
Liked the dough — fluffy and fresh. Unfortunately the beef was dry.
2. Chicken Shawarma Sandwich
— Shredded pieces of chicken grilled on a rotating spit with shredded lettuce, pickles and garlic sauce wrapped in a pita
I really loved this, and chicken is usually at the bottom of my meat list. The chicken was very tender and tasty and the sauce just brings out the delicious flavour without overpowering the chicken.
3 .Beef Shawarma Sandwich
— Shredded pieces of beef grilled on a rotating spit with fresh parsley, onions, turnips, pickles, tomatoes and tahini sauce wrapped in a pita
Being a beef person, I was a little disappointed with this. The overall wrap was salty. The beef was kind of dry, which the sauce had to make up for. The sauce overpowered the beef taste. Completely the opposite taste experience from Chicken Shawarma Sandwich.

A group of 12 people averaged rating the experience 4 out of five. But must mention the following too:
–Line up to pay
–Onion grilled with the skin still on (from no frills to the grills)
–half chicken not fully cooked inside but burnt outside
–too much tahini in the hummus
–beef a bit dry
Other than that the rest was good

Quick lunch with my friend. First time at this place.
Very clean quick service. Staff was a little confused since they were on training, which is understandable.
Ordered hummus, lamb and chicken shawarma.
Good large dining space. Good location and plenty of parking.

I do not usually get to eat Middle Eastern food so I was not sure what to order. Luckily there was a lovely lady that recommended the Shish Tawouk Plate $ 13.99 which is basically chicken kabob with rice and veggies. You ge two large pieces of chicken kabob and although the meat portion is pretty large I found myself still not fully satisfied in terms of the fullness of my belly ;)
I got my meal to go and had to wait a little less than 10 minutes. Service is top notch. Super friendly and always with a huge smile.
