| - A friend of mine took me to Paramount for middle eastern food last week, and it was okay but nothing special. It was busy and a little loud, but we were seated right away near the front, and the service was also pretty quick. I was facing the front window, so never really noticed much about the inside of the restaurant. It was clean though, and the lighting a little dim which is understandable for a late dinner.
The menu has a good variety, shawarma and falafel and wraps plus a few combination platters and manakeesh (similar to pizza). I had the grilled spicy sausage with rice, while my friend had chicken (shawarma I think but it may have been some other type), and both meals came with mixed pickles and pita bread. Overall, the food was okay but nothing to rave about. The sausage was spicy and the rice was nicely cooked but just plain white rice. I have eaten at other middle eastern restaurants, and I have had better but also worse.
I did not have to pay the bill, but I recall most of the main course meals were about $13-20, the wraps a little less. My friend and I had been there before with other people, and I would certainly return with them, but I have other places that I would rather go if I was on my own.
