| - Beautiful franchise, with subpar food and bad restaurant practices. Your visit might be good or bad, it is a toss up, as result, I do not recommend this location.
Paramount Fine Foods has been expanding and adding new locations recently, but it has come at the cost of quality and consistency.
Seems that collecting franchising fees is more important to original owners than producing quality food. However, ownership has done an excellent job creating a beautiful interior and ambience that is consistent among the locations.
Food at this location was unimpressive, I ordered a mixed plate grill to go. Some chicken was raw inside, beef was not bad had charcoal flavour and two pieces of kofta tasted like they marinated by different people. One skewer of kofta was ridiculously salty while the other tasted like it had too much of a spice. Half the fries were overcooked and hard and the others were cooked little bit.
While waiting at takeout area for my food, a waiter came back with a plate of fries and said the fries were cold.
Manager yelled at the chef. Chef then proceeded to scoop salad, chicken shawarma back cold table and steam table. Fries went back under the heat lamp and some burnt fries left in the fryer went there too. This all happened in front of manager and the manager so I understood this as being appropriate behaviour in the manager's eyes.
It is unacceptable to reuse returned food to reserve. The food could have been contaminated by a customer, surprising thing the kitchen is open and the had no shame doing it in front of takeout customers.
Beautiful franchise, mediocre food and bad management do not recommend.
