| - My friend and I popped in here recently for lunch. I thought it would be more of a Paramount style where you go and order the food and then sit down. However, it has a full wait service or, if you want takeout, you can go to the counter and order. There is ample parking and the restaurant appeared to be very clean.
Now on to the food. I ordered a chicken sandwich, which was more like chicken shawarma between the most amazing bread that they bake onsite - only $7.00. The meat was so well seasoned, no fat and charred perfectly. The topping was this super fresh salad with iceberg lettuce, chopped tomato and onion in this garlicy yogurt sauce - it was out of this world delicious! I could only eat half because it was massive! My friend had something like lamb shawarma and she couldn't stop talking about how delicious it was - only $5.00. I ordered some hummus to go and they gave me a side of some other awesome bread that they were continuously baking - simply outstanding.
Here's where I deduct ONE star: there was an immense language barrier between us and the waitress, which made asking questions and ordering very difficult. I swear she spoke little to no English and I don't think she understood a word we were saying. She never smiled, we just pointed to what we wanted, she put the plates down for us (no offer for water) and we had to give her a tip. Also, not the friendliest environment; even Russell Peters couldn't get a smile out of them. They weren't rude but they certainly weren't hospitable. That being said, I would definitely go back but I would not dine in again.
