Called Paramount 48 prior to arrange a business luncheon for about 90 people. Manal was very helpful to help decide on what dishes to select. We ordered a variety of dishes, such as Beef Kafta and chicken skewers, spicy potatoes, Falafel, sandwich trays with chicken, beef and falafel shawarma, wraps (Kafta and Chicken Tawouk). We were provided trays of rice, fattoush salad, garlic sauce, tahini, mixed pickles, hot sauce, hummus and pita bread. Food was delivered on time. They even supplied the plates, napkins and utensils. Everyone was happy and satisfied. No complaints! Will definitely order from this location again for another future event!

Variety of dishes available at Paramount

4.5 Paramount is an amazing spot for any meal of the day! They have an extensive breakfast menu, brunch, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner - literally anything you could possibly think of. Paramount has middle eastern cuisine, and a few fusion dishes like their take on poutine and quesadillas. Came here for brunch on a weekend and thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The service was efficient and attentive, and the food was fresh and tasty. The ambience was nice, and I was seated immediately. My group ordered a variety of dishes so I got to try a lot of things. The manakeesh is amazing - you definitely have to get this (I got zaatar manakeesh which is like an Arabic pesto of sorts). I also tried the chicken shawarma fries (like a poutine) and a bit of a shawarma wrap. Honestly everything here is pretty good, you can't go wrong with anything you order. The portion sizes are also pretty good, and quite filling. You can really taste the freshness and quality of the food. It's a nice spot for a more upscale take to middle eastern cuisine. I'll definitely be back to Paramount soon!

I've been to their Sheppard Avenue location several times and have always enjoyed the food but questioned the process of ordering at the counter and prepaying for the meal. This location has full table service. Yay! Did they all change? I hope so. Our server was very patient and attentive while my friend and I waited for a third companion to join us. He was friendly and engaging but lacked the finesse of a seasoned server. Very good effort though. We ended up ordering Falafel, two Mixed Grill Plates (chicken beef, kafta), a lentil soup, and a Mezza Plate (hummus, moutabbal, and tabbouleh). It was served with their signature puffy pita. As expected, everything tasted really good and the portions were generous (enough to take some home). We finished our meal with some cappuccino and baklawa. A good finish.

Chicken main plate

I've always heard good things about Paramount but never tried it cause I didn't think it was much diff from other cheaper Mediterranean chains. I happened to have an Ubereats coupon and decided on the chicken main plate. It came up to almost $30 including all the fees etc. Although on the description it didn't mention An included salad, usually other chicken plates include salad. To my disappointment, it actually arrived without a salad. There was only chicken, rice, pickles, garlic sauce and a pita bread! This meal was 20 bucks without the fees and tip. Such a rip offffff. So not worth it!

Check out this hot streaming light bread. :)

I didn't even notice that this place was here until we were parking by the shoppers and just noticed it. Too lazy to figure out where to eat dinner, we decided to just give this place a go. We've been trying a lot more middle eastern, Mediterranean cuisine as a family and have found a few favourite spots. This place was great, but definitely there are areas to improve in terms of their food options. As a new restaurant, I think they'll get there in time. Food alone would bring it to 3 star, but the amazing service is what pumps it up to a big ol' 4! Hopefully management will read this because I want them to know, Marva, our waitress, did an amazing job. She was there when we needed her, checked up on us, and made sure we enjoyed our meal. She was happy to get feedback and was very helpful to explain the menu options to us as we were not very familiar with some of the dishes. She's very friendly and if this is the level of hospitality they have, I think you can't lose coming here. We started off with a puffy steaming bread. I forget what it's called but we've had it before at other places. This was fresh, not burned, and soft on the inside with that hard crust on the outside. However, it was very flavourless. I think it's best if you ordered some type of dips to accompany it. My dad ordered a lamb dinner to be cooked to medium rare, but it was almost well done and quite hard. He had give everyone a piece before biting in so by the time we found out, we already eaten half of it among all of us. The waitress, however, still offered to redo the dish, which I thought was very kind of her. Flavours were alright, but the fries on the side could have been a bit less soggy. Actually, all our fries were a bit soggy which is something they could probably fix easily. :) The fattoush salad was very fresh and I liked the variety of vegetables in the dish. It was a bit over dressed and I found it to be a bit wet. The flavours were quite nice though :) My mom and I shared the Tabliyeh Saj Chicken Shawarma as per the recommendation of our fantastic waitress, Marva. I think I would try a different protein next time too, but this one was amazing!! There's that delicious crunch in the outer side of the saj, and you've got the stuffed insides and a garlic dip accompaniment. I loved the pickles as well which just helped cut through the savory flavours. I think this is a very well balanced dish and I would happily return for more. Over all, we had a great time here and enjoyed our meal. Marva, was amazing!! She really did a fantastic job. With our lamb being cooked improperly, she offered to have it redone. We refused since we were almost done anyway :) But she kindly gifted us a box of sweet treats. Variations of baklawa sweets and we thoroughly enjoyed those. Give this place a try and just let the staff know if there's anything you don't like or think could improve. They've got a great attitude. I'd love to see this place stick around the neighborhood.

Huge selection of sweets!

I've heard a lot of hype over this place so decided to check it out, but man was I soo unimpressed. I ordered the Chicken Shawarma plate with fries that came with veggies, a piece of bread, and garlic sauce. The bread and fries dipped in the garlic sauce was good, but that was the best part of the meal. The shawarma meat was absolutely disgusting. The portion wasn't the largest, but out of the serving provided, about 50% of the 'meat' was chicken skin or fatty bits, which meant uneatable. I ended up throwing most of the 'chicken' out because I was tired of sorting through which parts were actually edible meat. Food thoughts aside, the restaurant was pretty nice. Newly renovated and it showed. All the staff was helpful when I was trying to choose what to order and they gave clear descriptions of what different items were. Overall, the food left me with a bad opinion of the place and I don't think i'll return.

I don't know if the cooks at paramount have changed but I stopped by here with a colleague for lunch and we were both amazed by our wraps! I had the falafel wrap which had pickles, turnips, onions, lettuces, tomatoes, hummus and tahini. It was the perfect size and the flavours were amazing. My colleague who had the beef shawarma didn't think beef and pickles would go together but he said it was amazing. The reason for he 4 stars is because there is only one waitress during the lunch hour. There are a lot of people that stop by here for lunch with large tables. Although she can balance well, I feel like she could use an extra set of hands. Our drinks weren't topped up but she did follow up (when we were done our meal) to ask if we enjoyed everything. I would recommend this place only if you have at least an hour for lunch.

Quality of the meat is down..ordered chicken/beef and you can tell by the picture that it's literally just chopped up tiny bits like its old

Ordered a chicken/beef platter with potatoes and a saj wrap. The quality of the meat is very low...literally chopped up small bits of chicken and beef to make it seem like it's a lot. The beef was very dry...I don't think I'll be going here again

Service was average, food came quick and staff was friendly but nothing that stood out. The restaurant itself is very big with a lot of seating. The decor could use some updating but overall looks clean and spacious.

Heads-up to fellow Americans: If you're visiting from the United States, bring Canadian cash! Credit and debit cards issued in the United States are not accepted here. Nonetheless, the staff was really helpful and attentive while explaining their payment procedure. They walked me through the alternatives with no haste or attitude, which made the experience even more inviting. I ordered the Sultani Plate, which included a skewer of tender koobideh and a perfectly grilled barg kabob. The meat was juicy, tasty, and beautifully grilled. The rice was buttery and fragrant, and the side salad provided a welcome fresh crunch. My wife and kids chose the Chicken Chapli Kabab Plate, and we were all impressed. The patties were juicy, seasoned just right, and went perfectly with the rice and naan. It's a terrific choice for both adults and children, as it's tasty but not overly spicy. We also got Mango Shakes and bottled water. The shakes were thick and creamy, with a tropical sweetness that complemented the savory foods well. A terrific way to calm down and finish the meal. Atmosphere-wise, the setting was clean, family-friendly, and busy--but service was efficient. You could tell this place is popular among locals, and for good reason. Whether you're a local or a guest, Bamiyan Kabob is a must-stop for anyone looking for hearty, tasty Afghan cuisine delivered with real friendliness. Just don't forget your Canadian dollars!

The menu has appetizers, wraps, plates, platters as well as sides for you to choose from. You can also customize your wraps and have it Arabic style or have everything included; you are also able to choose the level of spiciness you want as well. I've heard many good things about Alpha's Shawarma and have never tried them until recently. Stepping into Alpha's Shawarma you are greeted by a long counter filled with ingredients as well as their shawarma meats which are on a vertical rotating spit. The cashier is towards the middle of the restaurant where there is quite a bit of seating at the back to enjoy your purchased items. There is also a small display of desserts as well next to the cashier. I opted to get a chicken shawarma saj with all the toppings (garlic sauce, hummus, pickles, turnips, onion & parsley, lettuce, tomato, tahini, and pomegranate molasses). I picked a table while waiting for my wrap to be made which took about less than 5 min. Service was friendly and they called out my order number on the loud speaker where I grabbed my wrap. The staff asked me if I wanted extra garlic sauce which I replied "yes!" where they placed more garlic sauce on my wrap. Sitting down, I took a nice bite out of my chicken shawarma. It was delicious - the chicken was moist and tender and the ingredients worked well together. Next time I do want to try the wrap with only Arabic toppings (garlic sauce, pickles, fries, and pomegranate molasses). However, I enjoyed all the toppings on my shawarma wrap which was also nicely toasted. The portion of the wrap was pretty big and I was full after I finished the whole thing. The garlic sauce was great - it was creamy and full of garlic flavour but not too overpowering. Overall, friendly service and a great place for shawarma near the Yonge-Dundas area. I totally understand why everyone's been talking about how delicious Alpha's Shawarma is!

It was an open buffet, and the staff checked on us a few times throughout our visit, making sure everything was okay and that we had what we needed. The ambiance was really nice, and I honestly loved the vibe of the place. There was a belly dancer, and she was really nice and added a fun, lively touch to the overall experience. The food was good overall. It wasn't too bad at all, and I enjoyed what I tried, though I do wish there had been a bit more variety to choose from. Even so, everything was still tasty and satisfying. Dessert was also good and a nice way to end the meal. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with good service, a nice atmosphere, and enjoyable food, and I would definitely consider going back.

The take-out counter was open, so we opted for that instead. Most of the foods on display were ready-to-go and vegetarian / vegan. You can also order manakeesh (Lebanese flatbread topped with toppings such as cheese, spinach, and za'atar - akin to thin-crust pizza) to be made on site. We opted for the vegetarian mix-and-match plates, which came with either rice or salad, 5 small sides, and 3 falafels. Most of the items were pretty good, my favourites being the arnabeet (cauliflower), eggplant with chickpeas and tomato-based sauce, bamya (okra), and white cannellini beans salad. The warak enab (also called dolma or stuffed grape vine leaves) was flavourless and had too much ratio-to-grape vine leaves ratio (more rice inside that I'd like). The tabbouleh was way too salty. The other dishes were good though. Although the manakeesh was made fresh to order, it came out pretty fast. It was also extremely salty. There were a few small tables by the take-out counter, for those who wish to eat the take-out items on the spot. They packaged all the items very well to avoid leakage.
