  • I would love to give this place 4 or even 5 stars...I've eaten here so many times and have brought friends here after one too many tiring shopping trips. I tried to love this place because there's something about it that keeps me coming back even though each experience has been below my expectations. The atmosphere is nice but noisy and the prices are low. You can easily feed yourself for under $10. However, I must admit, I've had better shawarma and falafel elsewhere. I was expecting so much in that first bite of shawarma but something wasn't right. I was expecting the shawarma and falafel to be the best I've ever tasted but it sadly didn't amount to much. I've tried several of the manakeesh as well and I'd say my favourite is the cheese & zataar manakeesh. I was sucked in by the allure of the butter chicken manakeesh and it was just okay (think cheese pizza with chicken topping). I also tried the beef & cheese version which I know I'll never order again. The spices for the ground beef were a strange combo and the whole bread was so soggy, I had to eat it with a knife and fork. I feel like the manakeesh could be cooked for longer because the cheese just slid off when you tried the break up the pieces. I love the baklava here and always get them in a take-away box if my stomach has the room. Now, onto the downsides. Every time I've been here, service has been incredibly slow. Once, our plates didn't arrive until well after thirty minutes so my dining companion and I resorted to staring at Nazeem Khadri's face(s) comically plastered everywhere. It's nice to know he isn't just about hockey but a foodie as well right? Anyways, when our plates finally came, they brought our exact same orders again 10 minutes later. Obviously we turned them down but it was ironic how our first orders came so slow but the order we didn't even make came faster. One major gripe I have with this place is the use of disposable plates and containers for dining in. The manakeesh has come on paper and styrofoam plates and tabbouleh has come in little plastic boxes. The shawarma and falafel have always been served on porcelain plates. The disposable containers cheapen the feel of any restaurant and is definitely unnecessary garbage. It's an overrated place but somehow I still like it and Paramount is definitely a better option than the hell that is Urban Eatery.
