| - This was my first time going to any Paramount location. I hadn't read any of the reviews prior to dining there, but I'm glad to head my experience does not reflect the quality of Paramount as a whole.
I went here with two friends after visiting the Christmas Market. It wasn't too busy, but there were a fair amount of customers. We waited for a few minutes before we could be seated. Service was lukewarm, but that could be accounted to how little employees there were. The location looked nice at least.
Food was okay, I guess. The bread was the best part of the meal, which... sounds disappointing now that I'm writing it out. I got a shawarma dish, and it lacked flavour and was quite dry. The only thing I could taste were the pickles which I found out I couldn't stand, so I ended up picking them all out. I used the spices on the table to eat the rest. My friend's soup was quite good though, and the pizza she got was average. It was the butter chicken pizza but failed to really taste like butter chicken.
I don't live near here, and to be honest, there was nothing special enough about this place for me to warrant a return even if I was passing through the area. However, there is a Paramount closer to home, so I guess I'll have to dine there sometime soon to see how the two locations compare!
This place deserves a 2.5 at best, but I'm going to boost my rating to a 3 just because it's not awful enough to be a 2. When will Yelp introduce half stars?
