| - I grabbed takeout and didn't actually enter the building so I cannot comment on service or interior at all. The prices in the store are a lot higher than some of the prices you can find of the menus floating around online. They do offer quite a bit of variety of food, which is good.
I ordered the falafel plate which I assumed would come with a side of rice or salad but sadly enough, there was just a pita with my 6 (rather large and very tasty) falafel balls, and some pickled veggies, and some rather limp looking lettuce shreds with a HALF slice of tomato. Could not even pass that off as a salad. There was also some "garlic sauce" in which I could neither see nor taste garlic. I'm a HUGE fan of garlic sauce and generally ask for extra but this was just a runny white sauce that actually made the falafel taste bitter for some reason. They also did not give and hummus or hot sauce. No hummus?! Seriously? There was barely enough garlic sauce for the plate itself, so the missing hummus was very disappointing. I had to add my own hummus and hot sauce from home. Good thing I didn't eat there.
Even though everything was pretty disappointing, I have to say the size of the falafel balls were on the larger size and were tasty. They were very dry though, hence the lack of sauce disappointment. The pita was actually very large and soft as well.
The chicken shawarma plate was much more disappointing looking than my falafel plate. I didn't eat any of it so I'm not sure how it tasted but there were just 2 small pieces of chicken, the same pita, pickled veggies, and "garlic sauce." All for the great price of $15.
All of these things considered, I would not order this plate again, considering it was barely proportional and had so much left over falafel with nothing to eat it with. I would maybe go back just to order some falafel and make my own wrap at home. Save yourself some money and go to another great place in this area for less with more food and great quality. Bamiyan is not the same type of food but I would much rather prefer it over Paramount.
