Ya Hala in City of London, Westminster

We usually come here once a week. Never got disappointed! Excellent food, convenient location, very friendly staff, highly recommended! Thank you Jad & Team for the great service over the last years! Looking forward to next week..

Had an excellent lunch! Served by Jad, a very friendly guy! Esp. the rice pudding was delicious.

Just had an amazing falafel and houmous dish

Very popular for good reason. Food is great, staff is great. Give yourself enough time to get a table.

It was a great experiance in this lebanese restaurant in Paddington. We have been served by Jad.

Great experience and the food was amazing! Thanks Wega for the amazing service.

Super flavourful food and a wide variety of options

amazing food, juicy wraps with great salad to meat ratio. lovely service from Wega 💞💗

Fair prices, exceptional food and great service. Wega (the waitress) was exceptionally charming.

Absolutely amazing food... Great service... Jad was awesome. The food is authentic, rich and tasty.

The food was devine. The service great. The staff made you very welcome. Wega and Ged made us feel very at home. Did i say that the food was DEVINE??

By far the best food in around Paddington, very friendly staff special mention to Jad. Highly recommended!

Wega and Ged were absolutely wonderful. they were warm and super friendly! highly recommend this place

This is a great little place. The chicken Schwarma is delicious. Excellent friendly service too. I enjoyed talking to Wega from Eritrea

Great value, taste and great service (Jad)

I've been coming here regularly for the past two years. Lunch here is always so delicious, the hospitality and ambience is wonderful. Jad is fantastic at making you feel welcomed, like you are at home.

Lovely food and service, thanks Jad!

Ridiculously good food as well as service, highly recommend.

Jad is a super friendly guy. Ask for him. Food was great and the place was buzzing

It was an amazing experience… JAD… u made my day 😊

Very delicious. Thanks, Jad, for the great and friendly service.

Delicious Lebanese. Popular spot, so get here early or be prepared to wait. If there is a line, be patient, it's worth it. Excellent option for takeout if you are staying in the area. We had a fabulous meal, Jae took good care of us.

Lovely authentic restaurant, with very friendly and helpful staff. Jad had great recommendations on menu items to explore on my repeated visits. Definitely recommended, especially to eat through the frustrations of a cancelled train in nearby Paddington St.

Paramount has delicious Lebanese food that reminds me of the food I eat when I visit my family back in Libnan. The service is great. The atmosphere is fun. It’s a can’t miss. I had Jad as my server. He was excellent.

Our waitress Wega was lovely, smiley and very attentive. And has lovely jewellery

Awesome place. Great food and great service

Excellent, authentic food. Truly enjoyed our meal. Waga is lovely!

Excellent food, excellent service..THE place to eat in Paddington area. Ask for Jad - he'll sort you out !

I’ve been coming here for years. The chicken shawarma is delicious. The apple ginger drink is delicious also. Jad was a great server (and Imad too)!

Great service by Jad and the team; it’s quick, it’s delicious and there’s choice. A mainstay of Paddington’s area.

Great food, quick service, Jad was very helpful

The food and staff are amazing! I would highly recommend this restaurant

Loved it! Food, service (wega) were fantastic

Thank you Wega for the warm welcome and the great food

Good food, good service, good vibes

Thank you! Jad was very welcoming

Great place, food amazing, accommodating staff.

Food and service was amazing, the place was packed but our order still came quickly. Only recommend.

The food was amazing! I enjoyed it and the service as well very nice and friendly people!!

I just happened to come across this place when looking for dinner near my hotel and I am so glad I did! Despite being in a smaller space, the wait flew by and food arrived within 10 minutes. The staff was friendly (especially my waitress Wega) and the food was FANTASTIC. Best I’ve had in a while.

I stayed in London for a week and ate here 4 times. The food is delicious! Service, location, and atmosphere are all top notch. I highly recommend.

At a Lebanese restaurant known for its delicious cuisine, the service leaves much to be desired, especially for Asian customers. While the menu boasts a variety of mouthwatering dishes, the staff often seems inattentive and unwelcoming. Despite the rich flavors of the foods, the overall dining experience is marred by the lack of warmth and hospitality. It’s a shame that such a vibrant culinary experience is overshadowed by poor service, which could easily be improved with better training and awareness of cultural differences.

these guys know what it means to serve food, would recommend, would come again.

Excellent food great service by jad

Love this place. Food is always wicked.

I am happy with the catering service provided by Paramount Spadina. They were well organized, and their dishes were too tasty. Also, the service was quick and hygienic. The baklava is also a must-try!

Great food, Friendly staff. Especially Mr.Sam. He treats us very well. We really enjoy our dinner here. Thank-you from Taiwan. Also, when we waiting for our table outside, I saw him helping an elderly lady get off the entrance stair after he took the takeouts to other customers, I was impressed.

Great organically tasteful food and pleasant services. On my way back from Trafalgar Square to Queensway, I was hungry and decided to stop at Paddington Station to check out my food options. A Mousakaa (Eggplants & Chickpeas) with Rice on the Paramount Lebanese Kitchen's posted menu caught my eyes. So I came in to grab the last seating in a tight corner table, surrounded by looking-happy diners. My traveling friend came along and ordered a Shish Taouk (Grilled Chicken) with Rice. I observed how dishes were prepared with love at the salad bar, how dishes were brought to tables with care. My food was served with a smile and it was so yummy good that I ate everything. It was a great stop at the Paramount Lebanese Kitchen.

Great appetizers (hummus & falafel) but even better mains! The lamb skewers were tender and tasty. The service was friendly and very fast. We loved it!

We ate 3 times here in 5 days, the best rest, best place around Paddington: tasty and cheap.

Friendly staff. Seabass was delicious

Great middle eastern food, good service Highly recommend

Good experience. Food was delicious.

Super delicious food and really friendly staff. Great experience!!!

Really lovely food and service, we love this place 😊

Yummy fresh food and friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere. Bright but not “too” bright.

Wega, was a great host. Very personable and tried

Food is always good, as is the service! A local spot we always find ourselves coming back to.

Had the hummus and Shawarma Saj, both were great! Servers were very friendly too

Lovely food and friendly, attentive service.

Good meal, very appreciated service with Wenga

Fantastic lamb wrap and vine leaves!

Really good food for reasonable price :)

The food was great and the atmosphere was amazing. Staff were super nice. Totally recommended

Walked by the place on the way to our hotel and decided to give it a try after we settled in. Very good choice. If you are not hungry before you go in, you will be. Chicken and lamb shawarma was really good. I took a chance on the Chef's daily special, and it was delicious. As well, go for the fresh Apple mint ginger drink .

Excellent lunch, and very good service from Jad.

Food was completely burnt and service was terrible. One of the worst Lebanese restaurants I’ve been to.

The mixed grill and lamb chops tasted okay, but at the end of the checkout, I just swiped my card without looking at the bill. I didn't know I was charged a 4-pound fee until I looked at the ticket.

Great good and lovely atmosphere. Thanks to Wega for her amazing service

A great place for a quick tasty meal before catching the train. Friendly and fast service. Small space for eating in with quick turnover. Also does takeaway.

Fantastic food! Always try to stop here when I go to London! Great service too, Wega was stop on with the recommendations!

What a great place for a high quality lunch at a reasonable price. Wega was so nice and even gave me free baklava!

Food and service was amazing, Wega was an awesome host will definitely recommend

A brilliant Lebanese resteraunt handily located o opposite the entrance to Paddington Station. I had a meal fral which included Lamb Kofta, rice , pita, hummus and a drink for 10 pounds. Highly recommend

Great coffee, great food, great service! Best lunchtime menu in London, close to Paddington Station. Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed 👌

Good food, Good Service & Clean Washroom

Honestly, quick staff, nice restaurant if sat in. But 6.50 for a takeaway shawarma, that was as thin as the chickens neck? That's a tourist scam, and I'm a local resident. Capitalist Shrinkflation practiced at its finest, so it's no wonder people are hungry in this town.

Food here was excellent!! We got the hummus, lentil soup, mixed grill main, and rice pudding. We’ll be dreaming about this meal, it tasted so good and everything was fresh and high quality. Service was quick. Tables were clean. Jad was a great server. Will definitely come back.

The restaurant looks clean, neat and well designed. The service was great! Wega was extremely helpful and patient with us! She took her time explaining what everything was, showed us what it looked like and even let us taste some things! And she did all that despite her management being frustrated with her for taking extra time (that's why I docked atmosphere stars). The food she recommended was *amazing* (I was worried that the rice was going to be dry, but it turned really soft and plenty moist)and she checked in with us a few times to make sure we were happy with our meal and didn't need anything else. The overall experience there was great! Definitely a good place to return to.

Worst chicken shawarma wrap ever

This was my first time trying Lebanese food and I was not disappointed at all. Everything was delicious and the staff were incredibly friendly. I'm definitely coming back!!

Mediocre food. The menu comes with some tricks: I ordered a wrap, it came with French fries, plus a mint tea, and noted only afterwards that the whole thing could have been ordered in a meal deal. They were not ready to change the bill. Favourable price wraps are only available in the afternoon, again something which is not on the menu outside the restaurant. The wrap was OK but came with far too much and rather 'underfried' fries. The mint tea was nice. Advice: read the menu carefully and enquire about meal deals.

Very friendly staff serving amazing Lebanese food. Highly recommended!

Wega was great. She was nice and timely. We had a excellent time

Delicious. Fresh. Excellent service. Thank you to Wega.

Delicious authentic food, quick friendly service. Thank you Jad for a lovely lunch

Great staff, fast service, tasty food.

Delicious food. Kind staff. Special thanks to Wega

Amazing food and service from Jad!

Best Lebanese food you can get in London and the most wonderful hospitality Thank you Jad for an amazing Dining experience !

Excellent and authentic Lebanese food in the heart of Paddington. I highly recommend. Wega and Jad were both extremely friendly, professional, and hilarious! I will come again when I'm in town.

Took me back to when I lived in Jordan and lived off Shawarma. Proper stuff. Jad was lovely but the waitress was lovelier 😆. What a sweetheart. Recommend this place. Always stop by on my visits to London. Eaten different things off the menu. Never disappointed.

Fantastic place. Thoroughly recommend.

Glorious humuos and tabouleh!!! Friendly lovely staff

Great food, great service, great time! Really recommend for a mixed shawarma both chicken and lamb were very tender and succulent. Really enjoyed this. Topped off with tea and complimentary baklava! Thank you!!

I love coming here whenever I arrive in London from Paddington. The best hummus and the best halloumi 😍 Service is super quick. Fab place
