Paramount Middle Eastern Kitchen

Delicious food at a very reasonable cost for the area! If you’re looking for authentic Middle Eastern, this is definitely worth a try.
The falafel is perfectly crispy on the outside and perfectly smooth on the inside. The hummus is velvety smooth and the pita is hot and fluffy when it arrives.
The servers were prompt and friendly and the atmosphere is casual but classy.
Plus lots of vegetarian options to choose without sacrificing flavour!

A restaurant on Yonge St just south of the Eaton centre makes for a very convient eatery for those shopping near by. Service was fast and efficient. Tables were cleaned and dried prior to having us seated. Washrooms were reasonable considering it's Yonge St.. Mgmt team , consider changing the Dyson drier in the men's washroom, it's at the end of its life. See pictures. Food was as discribed in menu. Fries were soggy and lacked flavor. Salad was probably made correctly but not my favorite. Over all a good middle east experience. Good value for money.

The best middle eastern/mediterranean restaurant worldwide. This branch on Yonge street also serves the same quality. The ambiance is good.

Their Shawarma, Baklava are great. Its a busy restaurant and you might have to wait for few minutes.

Very nice place to eat, if you are in downtown and looking for a different taste.
The food was delicious we tried the chicken shawarma and the garlic bread was so good. This is the place if you want to try some middle eastern food in Toronto downtown.
The service was nice and quick we didn't wait too long for our orders and the waitress was very friendly.
The atmosphere was good with middle eastern music which we loved. Highly recommended for food lovers who enjoy experiencing new flavors

It wasn’t a good experience. We ordered mixed grill. Rice was extremely cold, meats cooked well. I couldn’t finish my plate. Falafel was good but it served really late. Service , foods and hygiene were bad. Not recommended

The best middle-eastern food in downtown Toronto, served by the most friendly staff.

My husband tried the same restaurant @ Dubai and was thrilled to find one here in Canada. He doesn’t take pork so it kinda worked out for us to slip into this place. It was a weekday, so there wasn’t any trouble getting a reservation. We called -in 30 mins ahead and managed to get a table.

Food ordered:
1. Mixed Grill (Main) served with 1 half of the plate of fries and other half plate of flavoured rice.
2. Veggie lovers.
3. Lentil soup.
4. Coke & Raspberry refresher.

Cost (for two):
$80~

Time taken for food to arrive (dine-in):
5-7 mins.

Food portions were pretty large and stomach-filling.

I've not eaten in too many middle Eastern restraunts in Toronto but having lived most of my life there I can definately tell you that this is as close as it gets. We had their mixed combo and had a taste of everything. Their full portion sizes are perfect for a group of 4-5. A complete deja vu moment with their toom garlic paste,hummus and freshly baked pita

We were in Toronto for the weekend from Vancouver, and stopped by Paramount for a quick dinner on Yonge Street. The restaurant was busy but we were promptly seated. We had the Fattoush Salad: it was pretty good, but I would have enjoyed a little more radish and pomegranate arials. For the main course we had Chicken Shawarma; the Chicken Shawarma was beautifully seasoned, and perfectly cooked, served over a generous amt of rice. Pita was served as a starter and it was amazing! - soft, fluffy, and fresh. We ended making a Shawarma wrap with the pita, and it was yummy. Though we were full, our server Hussein was insistent we try a bite of Baklava, and some delicious Arabic coffee which was amazing. There was a hint of spice, perhaps Cardamom in the coffee, not sure?, but for this extra treat we were not charged!. Highly recommend this really terrific restaurant in Downtown Toronto right across from Eaton's Centre.
