| - I've been here a couple of times now and on both occasions I have thought, 'I really need to come here more often'.
The first time I was here with my husband and we both ordered the kafta and that was it. This time, I came with a couple of coworkers, one of which was well versed in Paramount's menu so we opted to let him select our items.
We ended up with fattoush salad, falafel, manakeesh zaatar and the mixed grill of kafta and shish tawouk. The salad is fantastic; not a complicated or sophisticated salad but what really makes this salad is the fried pita pieces that are tossed in making for an interesting texture.
Honest, I'm a tad embarrassed to say, I've never had falafel before although I'm not quite sure why. I thoroughly enjoyed my first experience and will definitely order them again. They were perfectly fried and accompanied with a tahini dipping sauce.
I'm on the fence with regards to the manakeesh zaatar... I've tried other manakeesh's before and I think I much prefer mine with meat and cheese. Nonetheless, it was tasty and had a unique texture.
The mixed grill was perfect! The kafta was as I remembered and the chicken was fresh. Everything was cooked to perfection and accompanied with a hearty helping of rice, pickled and grill veg, hummus and garlic sauce.
The restaurant is large with plenty of seating and an extensive menu. They also have a wide range of delectable desserts teasing you from their display cases.
Definitely a great place to stop for lunch or dinner... although from what I understand, they are also open for breakfast too! Win win... win.
