What a sorely disappointing experience Paramount is! I ordered a simple take-out meal of inexemplary hummus along with pita bread that smelled like it was baked in a moldy oven, Fatoosh salad with a diminutive sized chicken skewer and a smallish lamb wrap sandwich.
Considering the quantities were not that plentiful my order cost $31 not to mention I had to wait over half an hour for a take out meal that was supposed to take only 15 minutes to prepare, talk about over-priced!
I tried maintaining some semblance of zen composure while staring at the beautiful glass wall infinity fountain to try and obliterate my hangry-ness but seriously when you're sweating buckets because the internal temperature of a restaurant can't be controlled due to heat emanating from both an oven and a wall-to-wall grill and you notice all six people who placed an order AFTER you, got their order fullfilled BEFORE you and you've waited over half a fricken very hungry hour for a simple take-out order it starts to piss you off!
Yes the food (other than the moldy smelling flatbread) is tasty, but surely there's better places for Lebanese fare because Paramount certainly isn't it.
