This place is great. Prices reasonable, food is fresh, service was fast and staff are friendly. Fattoush, kafta, lamb, hummus, pita and baklava. This is out goto place for middle eastern food. Glad there are many locations, and growing, in the GTA and Golden Horseshoe.
a huge improvement with the food and serves for the past months, great employees with a lot of energy and positivity low key hit the place up
Great Food, great staff. One of the best middle eastern food in Canada
The best food you can find in town, if you love Middle Eastern food.. The flavors are amazing ��
Awesome ��
Excellent food! Excellent service! Staff was friendly and food was amazing. They offer take out which made me so happy because I got to order more delicious food for later ;) loved the Arabian music!!
The found here is delicious and staff very friendly. PLEASE open a restaurant in Brantford!!! We have no Middle Eastern restaurant there. Soooo good!!!
One of the best restaurants I have to been in a very long time. The service right from the time my friend and I entered was exceptional. The team work with the staff to make sure you were taken care of throughout the visit was awesome. Food was amazing. The cost was very reasonable for the amount of food you get. Not a negative thing to say, will definitely visit again. Oriana - I hope i spelled it right, was great!
Great food, good location. Service was a bit slow.
Great food and service, and the bakery items are the best!!!

Hamilton branch is the only perfect food and service among all paramount restaurants.
Good job guys.
Delicious foods and very friendly staff
The food and service were excellent. The prices were reasonable and the atmosphere pleasant.
Food,staff and atmosphere were excellent! :-D Will definitely be back.
I went to this store one year ago, today I was there, it's way better than before, delicious food and very good customer service.
I like shish tawok plate
The best shawarma i tasted in hamilton, very clean, and has a verity of Lebanese authentic Food. One of the special platters is "The shawarma fries" i highly recommend trying it.
This paramount honestly had the best service ever! The server was absolutely sweet and gave us suggestions for what to buy as it was our first time. The baba ganoush was slightly on the saltier side, however the desserts are amazing!! Their knefeh jibney is so good, it is so unique and their baklavas are good too, very crispy and soft in the inside. Also I had the yalla special which was great, but honestly REALLY filling. Go their on an empty stomach. Their chicken shawarma is delicious, as it is juicy and extremely full of flavour! Best shawarma I have ever tried!
I was there two days ago with my two children, the staff are very friendly and very helpful . the food was amazing with low prices.
my children enjoy the playing area.
I really recommend this restaurant.
Great food and great service. My favorite restaurant. Fresh and healthy food. I went there many times with my family and Always we spent happy time there.
Just fantastic! I have abs.... Just fantastic!
I have absolutely no criticism for this restaurant. Food is amazing, and the service is even better. I cannot believe how wow this place is and why not so many people are talking about this place.
If you like middle eastern cuisine and love great service!!! Treat yourself and go to paramount!!
A friend and myself went last night for dinner (late) the food was fresh, and delicious! The pizzas were my favourite! Quality of the food was good, and bang on with how the food tasted in the Middle East when we were there recently. We most definitely will be going back soon!!
Best shawarmas in town. Amazing. But the service is ridiculously slow and it's super disorganized. But that doesn't stop me from going back. The food makes up for it.
The food and service were impeccable. Usually a restaurant will miss on venue, service or food but this place hit the mark on all three. Paramount is a winner that I will be returning to soon.
We've been on the hunt for a good middle eastern restaurant until we find Paramount, the absolute best food in hamilton.
Great food and atmosphere. Excellent service. Were blown away from A to Z.
Amazed by the Customer Service and the food "Hamilton Location". Three weeks ago I was at paramount for lunch, I was amazed by the mature and professional way the staffs treated each other and the customers. They all tend to have a great team work and customer service.
I was by the cash placing my order, a gentleman came to the cash to talk to the staff that was handling the cash; he staff greeted him and told him that everything has been taken care of.
The section by the play ground was all reserved for this gentleman and his family, they were all seated by the hostess. Out of curiosity I asked the gentleman, "Hello Sir, I just want to ask you a question in regards to placing an order for you and your family, I believe that is going to take a while" ? He said, I called in advance to reserve and I gave the number of people that will be attending, which they were 45 guests. The staff that reserved the tables, suggested a fabulous idea to me and went through all the food they have.
She started of with the baked pita bread, appetizers, drinks, main courses, etc. We both agreed on serving the baked pita bread that comes right from the wood burning oven, hummus, moutabal, drinks and etc. For the rest of the order it was all taken care of by the phone. However the staff said if we wish to place more orders, there will be two staffs that will take care of anything and will be around the tables to make sure everything is running smoothly.
I thanked him for sharing his experience, a week later I called in for a reservation for 25 people and a great ideas were suggested to me. I came an hour earlier before all my guests arrived to have a tour as the staff suggested and I agreed on that. Loved the textures, smells, and the enjoyability of food eaten at Paramount. The Décor and atmosphere were glowing. Even though I was there a week ago but every time I go to paramount I tend to find it different from every visit. The staff knowledge, the speed of service were all extremely magnificent.
Came here with a big group of coworkers from Scotiabank. The food was amazing and so was the service. I liked that they use a wood burning oven and we were given hot, freshly baked pitas. The overall atmosphere was a nice cultural experience and I will definitely be coming back.
Delicious food. An excellent addition to Hamilton. Give it a try. You will not regret it. Our favorites are the zatar manakeesh, moutabbal, tabbouleh, and mousaka. The desserts are also terrific. Everything we have tried has been amazing. The paramount special is unique and tasty.
Amazing service. Comfortable environment. Clean and great!
Paramount restaurant is now my favourite restaurant. I loved their food there, very quick service. The employees were very friendly. I very highly recommend it
I called ahead of time to book a reservation for 4. One of the girls who answered told me we usually dont take reservations on weekends, but she went out of her way to make it work. When my family and I came in, they had set up a table for 4 just for us. I was greeted not only by the hostess, but also the manager, which made me feel even more welcomed. When I went up to order my food, one of the girls on bakey gave me a tour and explained to me which food was what - she also recommended the shish tawouk (chicken)! It was cooked to perfetion amongst all my other food aswell which was by far the best middle eastern food I have ever tried. The whole experience at paramount from the beautiful waterfall to the wonderful staff and service... I can honestly say it is one of my new favourite resturants! I cant wait to be back to stuff my face - especially the kinafe! Mmmmmm so yummy :)
Paramount fine foods is probably one of the best restaurants I been too. The food is amazing, the service is great and it's a beautiful view. My friend told me about it so I decided to bring a few friends and we knew it was as great as the smell of the amazing food when we walked in. I love the decoration of the restaurant. I also love how the service is really fast and amazing! Paramount is a place I would love to go to every weekend, im so glad they made a restaurant so unique and different then the rest of the other restaurants.
The coolest place I have been to in a while. They have a concept of going up to the front and ordering. Which is so exciting since I get to are my food made and see all the food I ordered. It was so cool seeing the chefs making the food like I can't even stress that enough. The food so good. They are so generous with the portions. The music that was playing had a really cool vibe. The old system of waiter coming to the table is so boring and old. Paramount a system kept me occupied while the food was prepared, which I must say was a very good touch. I LOVED THIS PLACE!!!!!
Amazing customer service .. I got my foot on time.. Everything was delicious
This is where Lebanese people go to get their fix. Thete is an indoor playground for kids which is a GOD SEND. I am able to feed the kids and have them go off and play while I can eat my meal in peace.
The reviews that complained of slow service and long lines are dated during the month of Ramadan. Many Muslims chose Paramount as the place to break their fast, and that alone is an indication of how delicious the food is. The reviewers must have gone around the time of breaking the fast which means everyone ordering at the same time!
They serve delicious freshly baked pita bread and it is obvious that all the food is nutritious and fresh. My favourites are the baba ghannouj (eggplant dip) and sish taouk platter (chicken).
Great Food, Friendly Service. We looked forward to this place opening after friends from London raving about theirs for years. We've been twice now and had a great time both times. The food has been consistently good (the hummus is fantastic!) and the salads all very fresh, and the servers are friendly. Although the area by the children's play area is a bit loud, that's to be expected and with a 3-year old it is also much appreciated while we waited (not long at all) for our meals to arrive. The entree portions are large and we've split a meal both times and supplemented with a couple of appetizers and salads and walked out full. This will become one of our family meal 'go to' spots. Although a bit pricier than fast-food chains it is definitely more healthy and worth the couple of extra dollars!
Dinner August 5/13. Tried the Upper James location. I do agree with other reviews about the ordering and then being seated - kind of a pain for the simplest refill of your drink? Anyways, I find the food to be good. I am also new to the cuisine, and have tried Paramount's Yonge Street and Mississauga locations, prefering the Mississauga location. Upper James location is LOUD - with thanks to the children's ball pit play area. This location has potential. Needless to say, the food is great in my opinion, and of good value and quality. Not sure if I will return to this location anytime soon, but I do recommend the cuisine. Give it a try, and if you do bring your children, please supervise them - this is not Chucky Cheese.
Hidden GEM. I was new to Middle Eastern food but read all the rave in the Spec. I went with a girl friend to check it out. This place is amazing. You can smell the food from outside. The ordering system was completely new to us and a bit confusing, however I felt that it was a part of the atmosphere. it was Busy BUSY.
On the front of the menu there is info about the food. Ontario grown, and basically organic.
The girl at the cash recommended the juice so we each got a different flavor.... WOW. For the meal I stuck with the basics, Chicken Shawarma with a side of parsley salad. My friend ordered a chicken Kabob sandwich and she was in love with the flavor. Prices were great and the portions were large. The server gave me a take out tray... Husband was happy .lol
They have a play ground for kids.. Ill bring mine next time.
Try it for yourself... if you have patience and love of fresh food, this is the SPOT
One of the best Lebanese hot spots. The best dish is the mixed grill plate and the best appetizer is the zaatar with cheese. Lots of variety, tons of salad options and very very very high service. They are always so kind there and quick to get your order out to you. Love it and recommend it to everyone.
The decor is friendly with little elegant fixtures here and there. They also have a fun typographic chalkboard menu above the cashier. Pastries and desserts are displayed on the counter encased in glass. Once you are seated, you are give a menu to look over. When you’ve decided what yo get, you go to the food counter to place an order. I think this is a great way to be efficient, it also decreases the chances of taking down a wrong order. And this makes it impossible for people to dine-and-dash.
Salad had decent quantity of chicken but it wasn’t soft. But the salad was good. Came with good amount of garlic sauce and pita bread. Paramount always has good quality & tasty food and I wasn’t disappointed.
This was our second time at Paramount. We ordered the Spicy Potatoes, the Muhammara dip, and the Mixed Grill main. The potatoes were very tangy. The hot complimentary breads seemed to lack seasoning.
The muhammara dip, though, is to die for! It's unlike anything I have ever eaten at any Mediterranean restaurant. Hubby enjoyed the grilled meats.
The food quality and quantity is good for the price. On our previous visit we had ordered the Mezza plate and I would recommend that if you would like to try different dips. They also have a decent selection of desserts.
Paste of my experience today, this is the best paramount location I have been to
I drove 50 minutes and I’m glad I did
Servers are so awesome they’re helpful and friendly, the food made it even a better experience, definitely coming back again
I’m so glad that this location is owned by a person that cares about the restaurant and it’s name
Thank you for everyone that was apart of our experience.
Food was awesome. Service was a little bit slow to be honest. But the food was worth waiting for. I had the cashew baklava for dessert and wasn't really happy with that though. It definitely wasn't the flaky pastry I'm used too. But the food was really good
Great food.
This is a great place for a quick meal. The food was above par, especially the pickles.
Our server was also great
