My friend and I had lunch at Paramount Don Mills yesterday, and we truly enjoyed the experience. It wasn’t our first time there, but this time, it was special. The food was delicious. I ordered the Tabliyeh Saj Shawarma and my friend ordered the Mixed grill. We were both delighted by the flavors of the fresh ingredients used. The service of Ahmad was outstanding. He made sure to answer our questions and accommodated our requests with a smile. He was very kind and friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

We had a very nice surprise at Paramount tonight, as we didn’t know what to expect. The food was absolutely delicious, we could tell that they only use fresh, quality ingredients, and the service was beyond expectations. Ahmad Mansour, our server, made sure to come at our table often to make sure we get everything we wanted and more. Also, prices are very good, considering the quality of the food. We’ll definitely go back soon!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Paramount, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The first thing that stood out was the impeccable service; we were greeted warmly and seated quickly. The cleanliness of the restaurant was noticeable, and the decor exuded a sense of sophistication, making it a very inviting place to dine.The staff deserves special recognition for their professionalism. Although the restaurant was nearing closing time, they did not rush us at all. Instead, they allowed us to finish our tea leisurely, even as they patiently waited for us to leave. Their courtesy and attentiveness did not go unnoticed. As for the food, it was outstanding. The appetizers, particularly the hummus, were delicious, and the grilled meats were cooked to perfection. The ambiance of the restaurant, coupled with the quality of the food, made it easy to lose track of time. It's a shame that the restaurant is 60 kilometers away from me, but the experience was so delightful that I am already looking forward to my next visit. Overall, Paramount is a restaurant that I highly recommend. It combines excellent service, a refined atmosphere, and top-quality food, making it well worth the visit.

We tried a couple of their new menu items such as the Cheesy Garlic Bread and the Cheesy Chicken Shawarma Boat and they were both amazing. The mixed grill was also good but not as delicious as the other two. The spicy pita bread served with the mixed grill was very spicy. Their hummus and pita of course were great as usual. Nice and fresh! Update: 10/2024 Tried the Moutabbal and it was incredible! The menu has changed so I tried new items including the tasty Zaatar Manakeesh. The staff were incredible. Tried the bakalwa and it was a nice touch of sweetness to the end of a fantastic meal.

The food tastes fresh, it s healthy and it s presented nicely, however, I m not that impressed with the vegetarian delight option. Its the only vegetarian full meal option and it comes with tabouleh , hummus, eggplant sauce, a measly two falafels, a pita bread, and a couple cauliflowers. The main issue with this dish is it is not substantial. There isn t a single filling, hot vegetarian option on the entire menu. The eggplant to my surprise was just some sauce, similar to hummus. I thought I was going to be getting grilled pieces of eggplant. They only give you two falafel and a couple pieces of cauliflower. I usually would get Makali plate from here, which came with cauliflower, eggplant and spicy potatoes, but for some reason they removed it from their menu and they removed all grilled/roasted eggplant options, now only having this eggplant sauce. This is the one and only vegetarian plate that they have and it s cold. They need to have some proper carbs and protein on this plate for vegans. It needs grilled eggplant and tomatoes and some potatoes. Why not add spicy potatoes to this meal especially since you re paying 20 bucks for it. I don t need a whole bunch of sauce and a whole bunch of parsley. I need something substantial and filling. You want vegans to starve?

My friend and me had lunch today. The food was amazing. It has been like that all the time Ive had lunch there. I totally recommend the Mezza Plate. My friend was delighted with her Peas salad. The other great thing about Paramount Don Mills is their service. Today, Nicol took care of us with efficiency and warmth. She made sure to cover our questions and requests with a smile. In addition to Nicol s assistance, Emat s suggestions on the menu were excellent. Thank to him, I found my new favourite dish at Paramount Don Mills, the Tabliyeh Sah Beef Shawarma with rice. They never rushed my friend and myself. We spent two good hours there as it was such a pleasant experience! I give 6 stars to my today s experience at Paramount Don Mills!

I booked a reservation in advance letting them know it was my boyfriends birthday and asked if they could bring a dessert as a surprise. They brought out 2 cheesecake slices with a big candle and sang happy birthday for us! Wonderful service and amazing food. I can tell the new management has made a huge difference in the quality. The chicken and beef were juicy and everything was so flavourful. All of the staff were also so sweet to us. We made sure to tip extra for this experience. Well be coming back often to this location for sure. Thanks for making this day special.

The service by Ahmad Mansour was attentive and knowledgeable. The menu was diverse, showcasing a range of both innovative and classic middle east dishes.

The ingredients were fresh, and the flavors were harmoniously blended, creating a dining experience that was both satisfying and enjoyable. Overall, Paramount at don mill offers a remarkable culinary experience with excellent food, outstanding service, and a charming atmosphere.

Manager was also kind enough to include 4th dip (Labneh) on the house for the mezza plate. Overall very satisfied and would come back again.

We had been to a Paramount before, so we were not coming in blind, but in addition to the great food (we ordered the labheh/muhammara/baba ganoush combo with their amazing pita and the cheese and sujuk fatayer), we got really good and attentive service. The owners were roaming around and checking that everyone was happy and we even got a hummus and some baklava on the house. We will definitely be back if we have the chance!

Ordered half platter for takeout, (supposed to be good for 2-4 per menu), but food quantity not even enough for 2. They have become miser, recall their portions were better. The rice is less, the grilled onion and tomato missing ( mentioned in menu). The oven cooked bread, mentioned in platter menu is also missing.They tried to replace all these missing item by delivering extra humus (usual spread portion ).Its convenient for them but humus cant replace rice and bread. Very disappointed after paying $70 plus tax.Having to go buy extra food from another restaurant. Not surprised at their below 4 rating.

Ahmad was diligent in ensuring our food was fresh, that our plates and break basket were not empty, and that we were not forgotten by him or his colleagues even though the restaurant was quite busy with two large parties. We anticipated a regular meal, but left feeling special and exceptionally well taken care of. Thank you, Paramount Don Mills team!

Stopped by while we were at Shops Don Mills. The got the Mezza plate and mixed grill. The dips were very tasty and the bread was super soft. The meats in the mixed grill were cooked very well and the rice was fluffy. We also got a cappuccino and tea. I think the cappuccino was a nespresso pod and not worth $5. Overall we really enjoyed our meal but the price does not justify the portions. $32 for 3 small skewers and 2 small potatoes is kind of crazy. Our server was Nelly and she was very kind and welcoming. Definitely worth a try if you re new to this style of food !

Not sure what is going on with this restaurant. We dropped in for a meal during the Victoria Day long weekend. Service was slow. Half of our meal was delivered at the beginning then the other half delivered 30 minutes later. They said they were preparing fresh chicken for the wraps which accounted for the delay. After the meal I developed a fever, stomach pain and other symptoms associated with food poisoning. 3 days later I am still suffering from the bad meal. Ive been to this restaurant many times but the previous time will be my last time.

Worst food I ever eaten. I order according to what I was seeing on their advertisement, grilled chicken, beef, salad, what I got was a mediocre plastic container of shredded I don t know what, dry pcs of chicken breast, and for beef, I got hamburger meat pretending to be beef, the so called garlic sauce was overpowered by the garlic and the tahini sauce smelled rancid! I could not stomach this trash that I ended running to the toilet and vomited! And to think they charged $26.99 for this garbage! Will I ever eat from this place? Not ever!

Stopped by for a quick takeout order and regretted it. Ordered the shish taouk plate and was very disappointing !! The portions were extremely small for $28!!! I realize food prices are out of control but for that money at least fill the container. Barely any vegetables and skimpy on rice which is surprising as usually restaurants load the rice and chinze on the meat. Will definitely not be coming back and would not recommend as the taste is nothing special. Avoid !!

May 21, 2024

We loved Paramount Yorkville so went to the Don Mills location. Service was terrible. We waited at least 5 mins or more before asking her for plates and cutlery. Our appetizers were served and getting cold. She was completely clueless. We could see our food waiting by the kitchen for over 10 mins. It came to the table cold. The $32 lamb dish had the smallest pieces I have seen in a restaurant, overdone to a crisp (she didnt even know enough to ask how we wanted the lamb done) , and they were served with 2 pieces of mini potato and hammus! what a joke! My husbands beef shawarma was dry and under seasoned. Same with our kids dishes. They made up the lack of protien and vegetables with rice. No wonder the place was empty. That should have been a red flag for us. What a disappointment!

May 21, 2024

Sat for more than half an hour with no service. Server went past me a couple of times and when I was ready to leave she said she hadnt seen me. Was really disappointed.

May 21, 2024

If I could give zero I would! It was one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to! There was a 30 minute wait in line and there was an hour wait for the food almost! the food was ok it was a bit expensive for the size but Then without any appologies the waitress wanted tip as well!

For waiting to be seated, to take the order and finally the food being served - I wish I could give negative points. After this frustrating wait you finally get to eat- not much to complain about the quality. Small portions of dips and another waiting when we request more. Won t visit this branch for sure. I think the downtown was way better in everything.

Worst middle eastern food in town. Inexperienced cooks who don t know the essence of traditional dishes. I ordered a fatteh and the waitress brought a cold flat plate full of fried pita bread covered with yogurt. And when I asked her where the chickpeas were the waitress said that this dish didn t have chickpeas until I pointed out the ingredients on the menu, she agreed to replace it for me and I wish she didn t. She brought the same plate with few chickpeas on topped with a stick garlic sauce. I couldn t even have a second spoon and put it aside immediately. When I asked for the bill she noticed my almost untouched plate and asked me whether I didn t like it. I shared my feedback that wasn t a fatteh she agreed and said that their breakfast menu was off so they had to create something out of what they had. I have never heard of such thing in the whole history of dining out. Audaciously they charged us full amount! If you re into Mediterranean cuisine definitely don t go to paramount.

Usually the food is fantastic but today the tabbouleh was not fresh. The tomatoes and onions were off (mushy) like they were marinated for several days. The waitress offered me a substitute salad, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you.

We ordered Marakesh Beef it arrived warm (almost cold) then ordered cappuccino and waiter said they re out of milk so I ordered Americano which also came warm (almost cold). Whatever was ordered at all table was a total disappointment.

April 21, 2024

Visited them two weeks ago. Walked in and was ignored for 10 mins before being offered a table even when so many tables were empty. Sat down waited 15 mins - not a single server walked up to us to even offer a glass of water. Left the place after 30 mins without even taking a sip of water. Shameful service! Pathetic management, do better.

Went there Sunday 1PM and the food as always was very good. Ive been before and everything usually is fine but the service this time was erratic. Even after asking for it, we never received the hot flatbread youre normally served, and after a while it seemed like wed been completely forgotten about although the place was 3/4 empty. I wouldnt have minded being asked if I wanted a second -- very good -- coffee. I dont like hunting down wait staff. Also of the two small washrooms, one was out of service and the other was in disgraceful condition. Vegetarian options: They have quite a few and thats not always the case in other places.

The worst experience I had with this specific location. I had ordered 7 Shawarmas and they charged me avout 157$ for 7 Shawarmas. When I received the food at home, they tasted awful, no taste, all dry tasteless Shawarmas I ever had. I consumed partially two or three Shawarmas and returned the rest. The manager refused to return or give me the credit back. I filed the complaint to the management twice, but seems like no one cares about the customer service at this store. Since that day, I habe never gone back to this store again.

Paramount Fine Foods at Donmills is a ok place to hangout, but it s expensive for its quality and quantity. I went in with a good expectation but not convinced. My bad ordering tandoori chicken in this restaurant, the chicken was not fresh and the meat is hard which looks like it s reheated. But as a family we enjoyed the ambience and had a great family time. I wonder why hummus was not part of chicken shawarma, shawarma only comes with garlic sauce.

Previously (year ago) they use to serve chicken shawarma wraps for ~$10 with fries and now theyve increased the price on the shawarmas and the fries are not included. There are other good Mediterranean options that are fairly priced. Its just a wrap that shouldnt be priced so high.

December 21, 2023

I always have loved eating at paramount and there various locations. I took the family out yesterday evening for dinner and it was an awful experience. Things to be noted. I ordered the mixed grill platter, falafel, saj wraps and pepporoni pizza. The mixed grill platter came and it was missing the tomatoes and onions and the rice was old or from the bottom of the pot. It was hard and not edible. As you maybe able to tell from the picture. I asked one of the waiters and he explained that they ran out of tomatoes and onions but he would go check. When I was about done eating he brought the cooked tomatoes. The onions were not available. It so disappointing that a restaurant I use to praise has come down to this. I would not recommend this location and this shows by the amount of people that were in there for dinner. I hope this gets resolved. Would hate to have a great franchise go down this road.

I even called to ask about freshness prior to going. Fries were room temp, the meat of the mixed plate was dry. There were a crazy amount of kids running in n out of the play land that made me wonder on parenting skills. All around not impressed and never again. We love Lebanese food and I thought it would have been a good experience but it was like Lebanese McDonalds. So disappointed.

Ordered 2 chicken shawarma sandwiches and waited for 25 minutes to get it !!! and the restaurant was almost empty but too many staff running around..After I reached home I discovered that both of them are so dry although I asked for a garlic sauce and the chicken was over cooked almost burned , on top of that the restaurant looks dirty unorganized even menue books were ripped off..After all it was very bad experience ... I will never go back there

Stick to shawarma and do not order Barbeque Shrimp platter. The quantity does not justify the cost of 28.99 and the shrimp came out burnt as well. I would not dine in, may order take out and would not experiment anything other than the known run of the mill shawarma wraps/plate

My recent dining experience at this restaurant was, unfortunately, one of the worst to date. The food, particularly the chicken and rice we ordered, was subpar. All eight members of our party were disappointed, finding the chicken dry and the rice stale with an unpleasant odor. None of us consumed more than 20% of our plates. Considering the quality of the food, the prices were unreasonably high. I cannot recommend this restaurant based on our disappointing experience.
