Paramount Lebanese Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

Oh WOW what a gem of a place! We dropped in as staying local and were blown away. The food was amazing, simply the best hummus I have ever had, the chicken was tender and full of Smokey flavour and the baklava was scrumptious. The staff were very friendly and couldn’t do enough, simply 10/10.

Restaurant is literally opposite the exit of the station. Food was excellent and well priced. Both the male and female waiting staff should learn to smile and actually seem happy to be in work (even if they are not). The gentleman that I paid for the meal was charming, possibly the owner. The restaurant is very busy and people are packed in but for the price and the quality I would return.

After 5 days in London and many bad experiences when it comes to food this restaurant saved the trip. Friendly, fair prices, premium quality food.

I had the daily chef menu which was half chicken, served on Libanese rice which came with salad, bread and two dips. It was very delicious and authentic. The lemonade was super refreshing and the service attentive and friendly. I would come again next time during my stay in Paddingtion, London.

Lovely little cafe which was packed at lunchtime. The food was fresh and very good quality. The service was quick and staff good at suggesting dishes to try.

Defo a 5/5 Eaten there before Food was so fresh and flavoursome And the Apple/Mint & Ginger fresh juice was to die for even bought 2 bottles

Poor service, poor food....generally unpleasant. There are loads of lovely restaurants in London and this is not one of them

This used to be very good place. Now they have minimum demands on food. Strange rule to have in a kebab place. To be able to eat in you need to order a full plate . The 3 of us had to do take away. The Kebab still tastes good, but not cool to eat it outside on the pavement.

It can be very busy but we had to wait just 10 minutes to be seated. Lamb chops were the best, very juicy. I didn’t quite like my tabbouleh but maybe it’s just me - too sour for me. What I really didn’t like was the pomegranate juice - it could not compare to the freshly squeezed ones I tried on the streets of other Asian countries. There was a big glass of it but too watery and tasteless this time.

I've been here before and the food is just heavenly. A must visit if your around Paddington area! Always great to come back.

The lamb tastes good bit the texture was like leather, the falafel was so hard that I could throw it at a mirror and the mirror broke but not the falafel. It was very noisy too.

Pretty good lebanese food in a fast paced, lively restaurant. I thoroughly enjoyed my falafel plate, and pomegranate juice. Complementary sweet following the meal was a nice touch too. Unfortunately the accompanying bread, and somewhat limp salad, detracted from the experience. Still, might have just been that night. Good enough and very reasonably priced.

Busy, vibrant restaurant a few minutes walk from Paddington station. Excellent service and atmosphere. The food was outstanding. Great value for money and would definitely return.

I highly recommend the restaurant because of the great food, very friendly staff and short wait for the food. The only minus is that you have to wait for 10-15 min, but I still highly recommend the restaurant.

Love Lebanese food. This restaurant is part of a chain (surprised me because does not taste or act like it) but the food and staff was wonderful. The only downside is no alcoholic beverages. But small matter, fill up on wonderful food in this small restaurant then pick out one of the nearby pubs or bars for a nightcap. Btw the sausages are especially good.

This place offers a quick lunch meal Deal. Had the grilled chicken with rice, humous, bread and some dips with salad. Opted for sparking water but could have fresh pomegranate for £3 extra. Interior minimalist with open kitchen. Service fast. On ordering, food took a...

The place is small, but not too crowded. The staff was gentle, and the food arrived after a few minutes. I ordered a "Lamb Shawarma" with rice and it was very good. I recommend trying it.

I always pop in here when on business in London. The head waiter is always friendly and manages to get me a table even if I haven't booked. Friendly service by all staff ( with the exception of a blonde waitress who is new and...

Two superb take-aways... The Paramount's somewhat basic restaurant frontage belies the amazing fare and welcome awaiting you within. Having used the Paramount once before in 2022, my partner and I were very keen to go back and we were not in any way disappointed! We...

The food is absolutely delicious! And the service is great! It's like being in Lebanon! I recommend this place with all my heart!!

We had the Lamb kafta a few times before and it was tender and succulent. Tonight's was cooked to the texture of leather and inedible.

The food was scrumptious and service was amazing! Simply loved the attention to detail. Highly recommend Fattoush salad with shawarma. Definitely coming back!

Lovely authentic Lebanese food. Very tasty and a good size portion. The service is very good and quick.We were given complementary hummus and bread which was a real treat, will definitely seek this place out on our next trip to London

We went for lunch twice as the first time was so good. We love Lebanese food, eat and make it a lot and this was top class. Fresh and tasty food, lovely staff, and very reasonably priced.

A very pleasant experience with delicious food and great service! Worth queuing up for. Restaurant with great vibe.

It’s a great restaurant for good tasting food Great also for takeaway. The place gets super busy at times but staff and friendly and welcoming. Food always delicious

It was nice but wouldn’t return. Had much nicer food locally for a cheaper price. Food was average, I had the chefs special. It was just seasoned rice with about 5 chunks of lamb. Some hummus, very small green leaves and a large pepper. Other...

We had a dinner for two here, since our hotel was quite close by. We were lucky to get a table right away as the restaurant was full almost every time we walked past it. The complimentary bread together with the hummus was divine! The...

The food is delicious and always to high standard. Their is personal, kind & functional. We always go there when passing through London.

They are open till 12 night as per then, google and website- so we reach the place at 11 in the night after a long flight and a bit walk from our hotel - lo and behold they arbitrarily decide to start only take away...

Busy but well run restaurant, food was outstanding and service was great, no waiting around and food was cooked within 10 minutes.

Next door to our Pilgram Hotel, we thought we would eat here on the off-chance. Was busy when we walked by initially, but clientele seem to move through reasonably quickly, and we were seated successfully when we came back. A very good menu choice, many...

Good Lebanese food. Lots of kebob and wrap options. Several vegan and gluten free options as well. The Lamb kebab was large, although a little dry. The chips were plentiful. Good staff

An unexpected delight from the start to finish. The staff could not have been more friendlier or more attentive and the atmosphere was lively and cosy.

Went to this place as it was recommended and it didn’t disappoint! Great quick service and really pasty and affordable food for a central location. Must visit if in the area!

Sensational food and efficient service! We stumbled upon and did not have a booking - but were quickly seated on a busy night. The Mezze special was fantastic. Loved it - highly recommended

Fresh wholesome ingredients. Delicious! Worlds best hummus is no exaggeration. Chicken skewers are a winner with us!

My friend and I both had the chicken Shwarma wrap with chips and a drink. The food arrived very quickly and was extremely tasty. Considering the central London location, only a stones throw from Paddington Station, the meal was very reasonably priced. My friend had...

This is an amazing place to take away some great food. Even though it was super busy, the food was ready within 10 minutes (for four people). The wraps were delicious (though not filling enough without the fries) and the moussaka was also very tasty....

We picked this restaurant based on reviews and it didn't disappoint. Small restaurant which I believe is family owned. Wonderful service and fantastic food. Go hungry so you can try everything. For Americans, it may be a step outside your box to share very close...

The food at this place is fantastic and worth queuing for a little bit in the evening. Went there for a quick bite of lunch and ended going back that night for dinner. Went back there again tonight too. Reasonable prices and great service. Really...

If you are around the Paddington station (or not) you can't lose this esperience. The restaurant is tiny and you eat in front of the grill, you can take advantage of the marvelous smell of the Lebanese food. The waithers are cordial and friendly. My...

The staff at this place is rude. This place used to be Ya Hala and the staff there was so much better. Best avoided. There are so many nice lebanese eateries within 5-10 mts walking distance.

This was the best shawarma I ever had, hands down. The rest of the menu looks diverse enough and it was so tasty I actually could get over the fact they don't serve alcohol. The place is absolutely crammed, felt a bit like musical chairs...

Went to the restaurant with my uncle and wife Felt like we was not welcomed nicely. Waiter was very loud and obnoxious when I asked what a dish was (I never ate Lebanese food) All I’m all didn’t really feel welcome, food was not anything...

We stayed in the area for 2 nights on a family trip to London. On arrival we saw this restaurant and it looked good. We had the shawarma wraps and chicken kebab with rice, hummus and salad. The meal was excellent, full of flavour and...

I chose this restaurant for an early dinner because my colleague had a train to catch. The location was right next to Paddington Station. They served food quickly and had vegetarian choices. The waiters were fine. We both ordered moussaka with rice. I also ordered...

Had a late lunch/early dinner the other day. The starter salad and whole chicken were very tasty and hit the spot. Excellent choice for casual dining.

I arrived in london jet lagged late at night ready for dinner, and many places were already closed. But not Paramount! They welcomed me right away with friendly voices and gave me a great table. I had the vegetarian mixed plate. Delicious. I was going...

We used to use the Cork & Bottle for our supper on the way home from a theatre matinee – but the Paddington branch has now closed. A TripAdvisor search yielded The Paramount Lebanese Kitchen. The reviews were very good, so we thought we’d give...

My wife and I had time before catching a train and decided to eat here We had chef’s social and chicken shawarma Both lamb and chicken beautifully cooked with generous portions and fresh salad Well worth the visit and will return

This restaurant was just near our hotel and all 5 of us really enjoyed the food and went back a second time. It has a side variety of dishes and all were super fresh, tasty and delicious. I can highly recommend.

This Lebanese restaurant is difficult to classify. It is great value for money; service is fast for anyone wanting a quick bite to eat; some of the dished are memorable; staff are friendly and attentive. However, service can be a bit too fast. Our mains...

This is apparently a branch of a *Canadian* Lebanese chain. Evidence of this fact exists on the menu with the Yalla Special, which is described as "French fries topped with our authentically seasoned chicken shawarma, garlic and tahini sauce." Is it me, or is that...

Incredible value in this time of inflated prices. Superb, delicious food. Good sized portion. Flawless shawarma and rice. It arrived pretty much instantaneously - which is slightly off putting because in a different type of place it might give the impression that the food was...

Food was delicious, very quick and best potato wrap ever. Hummus was delicious and mezze plate was especially good. Received complimentary baklava.

This was a beautiful restaurant that is one of a kind. The staff are kind, polite and efficient, as you sit down, you are given bread to eat and you can watch your food being made. The food is fabulous and a huge variety of...

A very busy Lebanese restaurant on London street. I went there for dinner. Varieties of lamb, chicken, french fries, rice , different salads and a lot more of Middle East cuisine. So nice

Late night munchies after the theatre. Got back to Paddington but what’s open: the usual takeaways: JFC, Mc D’s Even half the curry houses are closed. But this busy but friendly place is open for business and well worth a visit. I’d suggest the food...

The lamb was good / ok. But the hommus and babaganush were delicious. We ordered to take out and the service was extremely fast.

Very speedy snd friendly service at this Lebanese almost opposite Paddington Station. Very small seating area inside, but tables turn over quickly. They have all the Lebanese classics and no sooner do you order your hummus, tabouleh, lentil soup, etc. then it’s delivered. Grilled halloumi...

Dined here while visiting London from Texas. We were staying at Indigo Paddington so it was convenient after a long day of sightseeing. The food and service were both amazing. The schwarma plates were amazing and the hummus was literally the best I have ever...

Excellent food and service at very affordable prices . Open kitchen so you can see the chefs preparing the dishes , nice touch a free piece of baklava per person when you ask for the bill. Very attentive staff

Delicious, fresh food with great service! I cannot wait to eat there again...lots to choose from as well and good location

The takeaway Mezze was amazing, the humus 🥵🥵💦💦 was unreal, honestly one of the best sauces I have tasted. Tremendous value, get a takeaway and go to Hyde park with a beverage!

Right near Paddington Station. Reasonable prices and the most tasty food we’ve eaten in a while! Great service and loved the baclava at the end of the meal. Don’t hesitate in visiting here - it’s simply delicious!

We were fortunate to find this tiny restaurant across from Paddington Station serving fresh Lebanese food in large portions at very reasonable prices. It's not a fancy set up, but it is clean and the food is great. The cooks work an arms'-length away, plating...

Wonderful food and quick friendly service. We were in London and wanted to eat something different for what we normally get back home and there are so many options. So we chose Lebanese and this was nearby with good reviews. They were able to seat...

No frills. So good we ate there twice! Fresh and generous servings at reasonable prices for London. Recommend

First visit here and I will be back. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was delicious! My sister said the hummus was the best she’d ever tasted and my lamb was beautiful! We ordered two starters and two mains with drinks and this...

The hummus 🥵 wow so nice, the kebab was lovely aswell. Reasonably cheap for Central london. Every starter I’ve tried is nice aswell.

A nice little restaurant which serves typical Lebanese food Quick service and excellent food Great range of menu options including vegetarian

I visited this wonderful restaurant with my young son today. They were so kind and helpful. They did so much to help us. My son loved it. The food was absolutely delicious too and it arrived quickly which was great for my son. We will...

My mum and I came to your restaurant last night and had the salads which were absolutely delicious. The service was great, staff were all friendly and very welcoming. We’ll definitely be back soon.

By far the best Mediterranean food I’ve had. Highly recommend the chicken or lamb shawarma. The service is so quick and the staff are all friendly and ready to serve. Definitely check it out if you can.

Paramount lebanese kitchen Paddington. So have ate here before so know it’s good. But on this occasion they were just ramming people in. Table for two in a line of six with virtually no gap between table it was like 6 of us were dinning...

Joined a queue outside and waited for a table around 20 mins at this very busy place. Selected my food within a few minutes and my starter seemed to arrive almost as quick. Very pleasant it was too - spicy potatoes with just the right...

This restaurant is not fancy, but the food is exceptional. Service is great, and the selections meet every taste needs. Best Lebanese cuisine I've found in London, and always one of my go-to restaurants when I arrive at Paddington Station.

Hi I ordered lamb fillet and got some unchewable and unswallowable pieces of shoe sole with chips and a dip sauce. When I complained the waiter asked what I wanted instead so I ordered lamb chops. Same story, almost inedible. The waiter said he would...

It’s a busy restaurant and the food was good. However, I felt I was hurried by the staffs to make order, after sat down less than a minute. Also, no hot drinks was available. The food was goos, but not as exciting as some of...

We’ve been here three times in the last six months, and are never disappointed. And this comment comes, even though we had to join a queue to get in! The food is just amazing and in my opinion, leaves you wanting to return. The team...

went there for lunch, they had meal deals for reasonable prices, so we decided to give it a try. I was impressed. The place was nice and clean, the food AMAZING (flavorful, tasty, fresh, and well prepared) A really enjoyable experience. Something to mark also...

We had an amazing evening meal. The food was absolutely delicious, staff welcoming & friendly and service was quick.

Just excellent; service is friendly and swift, the food was delicious and potion was generous. The atmosphere was a delight too. Couldn’t ask for a better experience.

We read the reviews, and were staying literally around the corner, but we didn't book ahead. However, we turned up and were told we could return in about 15-20 mins and grab a table that was due to be freed. When we returned, admittedly, we...

Really lovely authentic Lebanese gorgeousness! Excellent value for money too. Very close to Paddington station.

This is a really friendly place, buzzing with people in a nice atmosphere. The vegetarian food I ate was okay and the price was alright. Not the best Lebanese I’ve tasted, but they have tons of stuff on the menu, and I’m sure they’ve got...

Excellent food and great service from this restaurant.Great prices for anyone's budget.Under £ 10 for a complete meal including drink is excellent value.Then you can spend bit more and have some tasty lamb chops or lamb fillets. For my first experience in a Lebanese restaurant...

Stopped by for lunch, and opted for the lamb kafta wrap… specifically requesting a side of the pickled turnip (pictured) on the side too, as I recalled from a previous visit that these were incredible - they really add something to everything on the menu,...

Amazing food, great hospitality and very very friendly staff.. I just loved it .. I am a business traveller (visitor) staying in Kensington and have been having a meal almost every day at paramount .. The home made bread is something you can't miss out...

Rarely think a restaurant merits five stars. Location near to Paddington is enormously handy. Decor and fittings neat and tidy. Tables a bit cramped. Staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful if you are not familiar with the cuisine. Food itself is fresh, well-seasoned and generous...

Popped into this lovely Lebanese kitchen before catching the train On a Wednesday early evening . Has a fast food feel to the place but the food was fresh and delicious. Only soft drinks available .We went in about 5.30 pm and the place quickly...

We visited early Sunday evening and got a table just before it filled up. Had 2 starters which includes bread , then 2 mains. We were stuffed , and we're good eaters. Very flavoursome food on our first visit , friendly service , will defo...

Relatively small place but very busy at lunch. We had the meze starter and the mixed grill. Food was freshy prepared and cooked perfectly.

Fabulous place ! Food is fresh and delicious. Reasonably priced and worth the visit. Nice little gem in the area. Customer service is good. Honestly, I shall be returning often.

This is a rather unassuming looking casual dining place but the food and service are exceptional. While food is largely from buffet style tries it tasted fresh and was very authentic. The lamb was divine. Prices were reasonable.

The food was delicious, the portions were larger and they give you free bread. The service is quick and the price very reasonable. Couldn’t fault my visit.

Delicious shawarma, houmous and falafel. Great service…very attentive and friendly. It’s a busy restaurant and for good reason.

Kind service and delicious Middle East cuisine with an authentic impression. Good value for money. Hope to return.

We came in here on a late saturday afternoon after having seen the good reviews prior on here and it did not disappoint! We were in and out fairly quickly but the food was delicious, the Lebanese bread with dip selection and falafels were a...
