Ya Hala in City of London, Westminster

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.

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!!!

Fantastic food and great service from our server Jad!

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

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

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

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

Top rate food and service. Lively atmosphere.

Delightful Wega serving out table. Thank you!

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.

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

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

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

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!

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

Wega is very sweet. And food was amazing.

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

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

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

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!!

Really good food Perfect service

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

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.

Great food and great experience.

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 ❤️

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

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

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

Wega is a very pleasant lady who suggested the meal i should have. She was very polite good natured and helpful. She is a definite excellent ambassador for Paramount Lebanese kitchen.

Fantastic food, great service by Wega

Baklava was delicious and authentic!

Very good Lebanese restaurant! Nice welcome by Wega, I recommend!!

Very good food and the service is very fast! Everything was excellent Thanks to our waitress Wega

Was busy but still got seated very quickly and served just as fast I was unsure of what to order and Jad recommended me a perfect meal that was very delicious and again was served very fast also this place has some of the best hummus i have ever had definitely recommend to others

Paramount Lebanese Restaurant didn’t leave a strong impression on me. While the hummus was enjoyable—smooth, with plenty of whole chickpeas and a generous drizzle of olive oil—the Shish Tawouk was disappointingly bland, lacking any real depth of flavor. It’s not something I would order again. Additionally, after finishing my meal, the waiter offered me a traditional Lebanese dessert, which I politely declined. Despite this, the dessert was still brought to my table and added to my bill without my consent. This was frustrating and left a negative impression. Overall, the food was fairly average. While I might consider dining here again if I had limited options, it wouldn’t be my first choice, nor a place I’d go out of my way to revisit.

Service n recommendation of Wega was perfect n loved food.

Fantastic experience! The staff here is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you step in. The service is top-notch, and the food is outstanding! I highly recommend trying the Moutabbal, Hummus, and Fattoush, the freshness of the ingredients really shines through.

As a Canadian tourist I’ve been coming for over 10 years on visits. Such delicious food at reasonable prices for this area of London. The garlic sauce on the chicken shawarma is divine. It does get crowded around dinner time so plan accordingly.

Amazing food, top service. Extra Thanks to Jad for his recommendations

Wega was wonderful, great hospitality and wonderful food at this place. Definitely recommended!

Small place with good atmosphere from waiters and owners, very good hummus, reasonable prices. The very kind and patient waitress recommended several things to eat and I really liked them.

Delicious Lebanese address in London Very affordable

Good food. Excellent service. Recommend

Great food, both pick -up and sitting in place. Got extra bread and a small baklava in the bargain. Fresh and tasty. Can be recommended.

Served by Jad fantastic service, beautiful food and the best lamb I have had in a very long time! melt in the mouth stuff !! Great value for money and perfect for a quick bite at lunch! Photo doesn't do it justice!

Very good place : good food, good pricing , nice service. The food is really good and homemade, they have a tasteful Humus The price is really reasonable (there are meals around 8-12£ that includes a side and a drink), especially when compared to other establishments in the area Thank you to our waitress Wega.

In Paddington waiting for train and found some amazing Lebanese food, nice and quick if you are in a hurry! Great service from Jad, highly recommend and would come back again!

Food was very nice chef special, wega was serving us and very helpful

The food is lovely. I ordered the chef’s special and the lamb was very succulent. Was served by Wega and she was very helpful and polite. I would happily come again and recommend this place. I came her after a recommendation myself!

Great food, great service, thank you Wega

Fantastic Lebanese cuisine with authentic flavors and warm hospitality! The mezze selection was fresh and flavorful, and the grilled meats were perfectly seasoned and tender. The ambiance was cozy, and the service by Wega was attentive without being intrusive. A must-visit for anyone craving delicious Middle Eastern food!
