Paramount Lebanese Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

I give 2 stars because it's unacceptable to charge customer "+10% service charge" while this is not indicated on the front door, nor on the menus card, actually it's written nowhere. This is not acceptable and abusive. In EU this indication in mandatory, why not in UK? Is it easier to screw customers in UK? Otherwise I'd concur with most of the reviews regarding food quality, it's genuine and tasty. I recommend to serve the main dish after the appetizers, not all at the same.

The food is really good, I got the mixed shawarma. The service isn’t great and took almost 30 minutes before someone came to take our order. The space is also really small. I would come back for a quick bite.

Excellent food. Highly recommended.

Very authentic food. Very fresh and tasty and versatile. Very friendly and nice staff. And very inexpensive. Can only be recommended. Super!!!

I wish i knew them earlier!! Best Shawerma I am literally addicted, it’s near my workplace and i love going there everyday!!

Amazing food, great customer service. Right by Paddington station best Middle East food ever.

Great experience! The staff is very lovely. They offer a large selection of meals in the menu, I recommend the veg mix if you want to taste various vegetarian dishes. Merci aux serveurs!

Everything about this place was amazing. From the food to the service everything was awesome. Our server Jad was great he really took care of us. Will 100% be coming back next time we're in town!

A great surprise to find this restaurant outside the Paddington Station. We had the mixed plate and the lamb fillet plates. Both were awesome. Large portions. Wish we had this restaurant back home.

Excellent food and service. I had the mezza plate and the mixed grill - everything cooked perfectly and everything had lots of flavour. Atmosphere in the restaurant is busy but pleasantly buzzy. Staff are efficient and helpful but not overbearing. I would always choose to come here over the chains in the area.

Excellent food and impeccable service. Very clean and very attentive staff. Delicious.

We enjoyed sharing a variety of delicious appetizers (mezze). Jad was very kind and charming!

The food was packed with flavour. It was a perfect spot for a quick casual bite. I could see people ordering take out and waiting outside, delivering people doing pick up and of course seated service. The seated space may be slightly cramped but the quality of your meal will be worth it. We both had a shawarma wrap and chips. Came with a dip of half garlic sauce and half curry sauce for the fries or extra on the wrap I suppose. It looks small at first but it was plenty and I left full. I saw people ordering mains which looked like larger combo plates and they were huge. Our food came quick, staff was super attentive and friendly. Give them a try.

Tied for the best hummus I have ever tasted! Chicken wrap was fabulous!

Can’t comment Everything was perfect Food, service and atmosphere

It couldn't be better - a dream!!!

Whilst waiting for a train my daughter and I needed a quick meal so we popped into this lovely friendly place. The food was excellent and very good value. Inspite of the fact that they were very busy they understood that we had a deadline to meet and delivered our food and drink quickly. Will definitely visit here again.

Wega is wonderful. She is very gracious and made us feel comfortable.

He comido aquí unas cinco veces. Caigo antes de coger el tren en Paddington. La comida sabe genial. La velocidad del servicio significa que puedo entrar y salir en 30 minutos. El precio es razonable. Tienes una buena idea de cómo funciona el lugar.

Superb! A great discovery. Delicious and flavorful cuisine. Fast and friendly service. A very clean establishment. What more could you ask for?

Food was amazing, friendly service, special mention to Wega for her warm welcome and hospitality. Highly recommended and we will most definitely repeat :)

One of the best Lebanese restaurants I’ve tried so far. Amazing traditional food!!!

When we left we turned around and said here we go back. we let ourselves be carried away and convinced by the reviews, and we did well, very good cuisine, appetizing dishes with generous portions. When we left we turned around and said here we go back.

We come here often and have yet to be disappointed...! Very tasty food! Very...! We took ground lamb "Kafta", lamb chops and were impressed...! Definitely recommend for Lebanese food lovers. The fact that it is always full of visitors and sometimes you even have to wait for a table to become available speaks for itself...

It was my first time with lebanese food and i found chicken shawarma with rice really tasty

Very nice food and good service! 5 extra stars for Waga

I still dream about this place, one of the best food places on this globe.

Brilliant restaurant with great food and lovely service (thanks Wega!) very close to Paddington Station and a perfect way to wait for a train

We ha, excellent service and amazing food. Highly recommend

I had a wonderful experience at this Lebanese restaurant! The shawarma was absolutely delicious , full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Wega took great care of us, offering such friendly and attentive service. I’ll definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We were a large group of 14 and they made every effort to accommodate us seamlessly. We have lots of Lebanese food in the US and this was extraordinary. The numerous dishes we tried were delicious and a great value.

Amazing food! Very nice chill ambience. Wega was very kind.

Food is always amazing and especially Wega was fantastic! Would highly recommend

One of the best meals I had in my life. It is a must visit place if you are in Paddington! Service was outstanding.

All the food at this place is incredible! The lamb is amazing, and the hummus and everything else too! The staff is very attentive, and Wega is very kind and lovely!

A wonderful and delicious Lebanese restaurant that you should not miss

Wagas was a friendly and welcoming waitress and the food was great

AMAZING RESTAURANT!! I can't recommend enough. The staff are so nice, especially Jad, and the vibe is very luxurious.The best lebanese food I ever tasted.Thank you so much for the amazing service.

Exceptional restaurant! Pleasant servers, very responsive and professional. The dishes are tasty and delicious!

My wife and I stumbled upon this restaurant after I arrived into Paddington station. The food was absolutely fantastic, the flavours were perfect and the portions were great. There are plenty of food options to choose from and I can safely say that all of the food is top quaility! We got served by Jad who made us feel like we were at home he gave some great recommendations and looked after us very well. Truly great hospitality. Genuinely the best Lebanese food I've had. I will definitely be coming back here when I'm next in London!!

Outstanding restaurant. Marvellous food and mesmerising service. Thank you Jad, amazing service. Thank you Jad. Best waiter.

Very nice food and very good service Thank you Jad.

we went to this restaurant for lunch a group from 8 person jad look after us from A to Z he make us feel like we are home thx a lot for the great experience we will be back 100%

I went to this restaurant with my girlfriend The experience was great Jad look after us We had lamb shops and falafel specials It was really amazing We will be back

Very bad restaurant and bad service

I tried the kofta sandwich, it was very delicious.

I was staying in a hotel next to this restaurant in Paddington. I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. Went in for my dinner on the 1st night and was blown away by the delicious kebab. I went there again on the 2nd night and had the skewered chicken with rice. The Chicken was Perfectly barbequed. The rice was very flavourful too. Staff was friendly. If I had stayed for 3 nights, where else will I go for dinner on the 3rd night?

Great food, fresh and tasty. Very kind service. Nice ambiance with nice music for lunch. Fair prices. Loved it! Recommended.

Amazing food and large portions, staff are great and accomodating, would definitely come back, Jad was a great server and made us feel at home

First time trying lamb fillet & rice and chicken wings. Taste good... Portion can be shared by 2 people... Last before paying the bill... Get free sweets... Best!!!

Amazing fresh food, comes quickly, great vibe, fun and hospitable service from Jad. Coming back!

Fantastic food and great service from our server Jad!

Very good, very good value for money and super nice people

Great fun… Wega (service) was lovely, knowledgeable and efficient.

Delightful Wega serving out table. Thank you!

Top rate food and service. Lively atmosphere.

For this price it needs a-lot of improvement for the food presentation and customer service overall. No fresh juices and Normally Lebanese restaurants offer complimentary pickles, bread and humus dip with mains. It wasn’t the case here. The staff isnt courteous enough.

Fantastic meal. Staff polite efficient & eager to help. A really energetic & dynamic place.

Had dinner here back in Oct 2024 and STILL think about my meal to this day cus the sauce is to die for. sad i live other side of england and cant come back more often

Wega was great! She took really great care of us. And the food was delicious too!

Food was pretty alright for the price paid 9 pounds for a set that consist of 2 wraps and fries The waiter was pretty nice and gave us a small dessert on the house

Very nice place, servers very kind, food delicious

Paramount es una experiencia increíblemente impresionante! Recetas realmente increíbles que no solo son auténticas, sino que incluyen muchos toques especiales: ¡asegúrate de revisar los especiales diarios para obtener aún más variedad! Literalmente todo es genial. El servicio es súper rápido. Si vas temprano a cenar, el lugar es muy sedado. Pero a las 6 PM estará haciendo cola para una mesa. En ese momento es una sensación de café europeo de muy alta energía. Justo enfrente de la estación de Paddington, y abierto desde el desayuno hasta la cena, Paramount exhibe lo mejor de lo que Paddington puede ofrecer a un precio extremadamente asequible.

Went in on spec and were really lucky to get a table as it was crowded. Staff were quick and attentive. Drinks(non-alcoholic only) came quickly and food order was taken. The food was excellent, I had the Kofta Kosh Kash, not too hot, but really delicately spiced, full of flavours. Atmosphere great inside a real buzz, but quiet enough that you can easily hold a conversation.

After our hotel recommended this restaurant and we tried it out first night, we came back every night we were there! The food is amazing!!! Wish I could have brought them home with me to Norway so I could eat like that every day. And everybody working there was so friendly! I forgot to take pictures before I started eating, but I took one after I'd started anyway. Would definitely recommend this restaurant!

Wega is very sweet. And food was amazing.

Always busy, always friendly and very delicious. A really nice place just across Paddington Station.

Really good food. Lovely service. Had to wait to be seated but that just goes to say how preferred the place is.

Amazing food, great service, our waitress Wega was super helpful and nice:)

Distinctive and beyond description, a place that is truly worth a try 👍, Thank you, Samer 👏.

Love it here always great to stop in between catching trains at Paddington. Wega was great with our little boy. Food so delicious. Thank you.

Perfect for eating something quick and delicious.

Amazing experience! The food was authentic and full of flavor, especially the grill chicken. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming. A special thank you to Weba for her excellent service, she was attentive, friendly, and made our meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend

Wega provided an excellent service. Food was amazing!

Always superb food and excellent value for London, they do a lunchtime meal deal for £9.99 or £10.99

The best part of our meal was Wega. She was super professional and welcoming which made the delicious food even better!

This place is incredible! I came here on my last trip to London and made a point to come back again. Food is so delicious and reasonably priced. Wega was our server and she was incredibly kind and professional. I will be back again.

Small place with tables very close together, friendly and fast service, wide choice on the menu, good food and honest prices. Must try

Good and affordable food. A few vegetarian options. Delicious Baklava. Pretty full on a saturday lunch time.

Highly recommended and lovely Wega! We will repeat!!

Wega gave great service . Very fresh food 5*

Amazing food, super fast service, great location.

Wega was wonderful and so attentive. Food was excellent, will definitely come again next time I am here.

Food was amazing and Wega the waitress did an amazing job

Great food and great experience.

Mientras esperábamos nuestra comida en Togo, que era increíble, vimos a uno de sus empleados LITERALMENTE correr tras un invitado a la estación de tren que accidentalmente dejó su teléfono en la mesa cuando se fue. Increíblemente gran personal, y entrega una VISITA OBLIGADA mientras está en Londres.

We had a terrific meal. We started with the grilled halloumi, tried the falafel, and then moved to our mains (lamb and chicken schwarma with rice, comes with salad). Finished with a delicious dessert. Service by Wega was prompt, polite, and knowledgeable (she suggested a new homemade dessert that was great). Fresh, high-quality food. Prices are reasonable and it’s only steps from Paddington station.

Wega was very nice. I could see that she looks after her customers. I went for chef's special. The food was very nice and tasty

Lebanese restaurant where we went for a dinner with friends. Food was tasty and well presented, service nice and quick while price was in line with what we ordered. The interior is a bit cold with tables very close but you can enjoy a conversation without much noise.

Very delicious food and service. Special thanks to the nice and lovely lady Wega ❤️

Great food and amazing service from Wega! I always come back here

wega served me and my friend with amazing service was very polite and attentive and the food was great

Wega was wonderful. I always visit paramount when I’m in London. Excellent food and service.
