| - I've visited the Paramount Foods (the Don Mills location) for the first time the other day. Overall, it is average, both in terms of pricing and the food quality. There is not that much competition at the Shops at Don Mills, but there are far better (not to mention cheaper) options only a short drive away.
The decor and service are the high points. The place feels much bigger than it is, very clean and beautifully decorated. Servers are attentive and friendly.
The food is priced slightly higher than in comparable restaurants, but there is more variety and ordering options (dine-in, takeout and phone/online ordering).
I've ordered Chicken Shwarma Plate which came with a pita, fries (you can opt for white rice), chicken breast meat and a small amount of pickled vegetables / lettuce. My friend opted for a sandwich and a small pizza. Neither of us were particularly impressed with food or the bread. Everything just seemed a little bland, lacking a distinct flavour. There are much better options in the Don Mills & Lawrence area, specifically:
Al Tanoor - for Shawarma and great home-made bread
Mamajoun Armenian Pizzeria - for middle-eastern style pizza and sandwiches
Bamiyan Kabob - for Afgnani-style kabob dishes and salads, amazing home-made bread
All of the alternatives listed above are a better value for your $$$, but they do offer less variety of dishes and do not have as nice seating area/decor/service.
