The wait staff was knowledgeable and so friendly. The food was out of this world. I dislike the American hummus in grocery stores but figured I would try it here and it was so amazing. The hummus was did not have a strong tahini flavor. It was delicate and amazing. The beetroot salad and dressing that comes on it was incredible. I filled up on so much hummus and salad I didn't have a lot of room for dinner. Which was so sad because the lamb & rice was just amazing. Five Stars!!! read more

This place is delicious. The best hummus I have ever had (and I eat a lot of hummus). Also recommned the apple ginger drink Everything was absolutely delicious and we would highly HIGHLY recommend. We will visit again during our London stay. Well worth it. read more

Super nice staff and excellent food. They always know how to brighten my time in London. I feel like the portion size relative to cost is great, and I think it's the perfect place to stop before or after catching a train from paddington. read more

Genuine and kind hospitality with extremely delicious food - easily one of the best Middle Eastern restaurants in London. I usually don't like liver, but their liver dish was the best I've ever had and completely changed my perspective. The chicken shawarma was fantastic, served in huge portions that left me more than satisfied. I only wish they also served beef shawarma too, but that's just a personal preference and doesn't take away from the overall amazing experience. The desserts and tea are beyond words - especially the cheese kunefe, which instantly became my favorite. This is a place I'll remember fondly long after visiting. Sokran! read more

Best middle-eastern food I've ever had! We got our food and drinks extremely fast, the workers were so nice! My Shish Tawouk was incredible. Very tender and juicy, not to mention full of flavor and seasoning. Pomegranate drink was also delicious. If I'm ever in Paddington again, I'll be back! read more

This restaurant is now called Baba Ghanouj, but I could not find a yelp listing for the new name. We were here on May 28, 2023 for a late night snack. The menu is expansive and it was really hard to decide what to order. I wanted something somewhat small and ended up with a chicken shawarma wrap. My hubby got the kafta plate. I didn't care too much for the shawarma wrap - I'm used to the chicken not including skin/fat like it did here. The kafta on the other hand was amazing! I wish we had time on our trip to come back here, there were so many items I would have liked to try. They have breakfast, which is nice because I found it hard to get a decent breakfast that was not sweets/pastries in the area. If we stay in the area again the next time we're in London, we will be sure to return. read more

Super friendly and food is delicious! When we were in London, we ate there 3 times. :)

Best experience ever the food was extraordinary and the vibes were elite. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for special, clean food. Good hygiene and heart warming staff and brilliant atmosphere read more

Good baba ghanoush, poor grape leaves, middling service, great mango drink and good grilled halloumi. Very poor atmosphere--noisy, looping music, wobbly tables read more

Good food and excellent service! The place was very busy so the food is fresh. Wish there were more flavor and sauces but overall recommended. read more

Paramount Lebanese Kitchen - Chicken and lamb platter - Lebanese Near Me - London, XGL

The location close to Paddington station would make it a perfect tourist trap. FORTUNATELY, this is an excellent diner/lunch/all day place. The portions are generous and - while I did not test all the hummus in the world - their's great (creamy, smokey and a dash of olive oil). The service is quick and nice. Grilled chicken is tasty (not dry) and vegetable servings are generous and really tasty (moussaka is a delight). The ambiance is very relaxed, service is fast and attentive, food is delicious (we had several types: veggies + various meats + desserts). Basically, a place to stop by and come back! read more

Great service, they seated us right away. You just need to get their attention which is something you must do in London. We ordered the Deal #1 & #2 with falafel on the side. So delicious and fresh! The salad was over dressed for me so next time I would get dressing on the side, and the falafel was good but not the best I've ever had. I would come back though! Loved the chicken, rice was flavorful and all the dips. read more

Came here on a Sunday evening, took the last table, small place but popular and new-looking, a bit noisy. I got a fattoush salad with lamb shawarma, food came out pretty quickly, was given a garlic sauce and red sauce. Was asked if I wanted bread and I affirmed, bread was really thin but paired well with the food. Salad was fresh, lamb was flavorful although some pieces were a bit tough. Good amount of food. Came out to be 15 GBP, not too bad. read more

Delicious Food! Can't go wrong with this place. Ordered the mixed plate, chicken kabob plate and the salad fatoush. Meat was tender and juicy! Best ever! read more

A gem in the middle of a touristy area. Steps from Paddington station this little spot serves up excellent middle eastern fare. Service was fast and friendly. The lentil soup was delicious. Lamb and chicken schwarma was fantastic ( chicken just a tad dry). The Kafta Meshwi was a hit. Topping it off were a couple of complimentary bacclava pieces. Was busy but deservedly so. Definitely recommend. read more

Best meal of our trip. Small restaurant and they were super accommodating when our family of four and 8 pieces of luggage descended upon them. Staff super friendly and amazing food. read more

Food , service & atmosphere are all very very good. Waiters , waitresses very friendly and reach out to serve and please their customers...My wife and I were impressed . We'll definitely come back again read more

Great service and great food! I had the Lamb Shawarma and it was delicious. Definitely recommend

I wish I could give this restaurant 6 stars. First of all, the food was great. The wait wasn't long. The price was fair for the amount of food. There were vegan options and it said if it has grain or other allergens, the sanitary was also good. The servers were great, there were complementary sweets at the end. As for the restaurants inside, it was nicely lite and had a good atmosphere. The bathroom was nice and clean. So if you ever come by this area I would definitely recommend! read more

This popular restaurant near Paddington station is a must try. I was skeptical about the food in London but this reasonably priced, middle-eastern food place made me wrong. The place was packed on a Monday night and we were quickly seated. The mint drink was such a great start to the meal as was the addition to hummus to the pita. The chicken shawarma came with some yummy sauce (honestly it was so much food!) and the three little lamb chops was the perfect amount for the hungry teenager who ate all of his meal. There are so many places to try, glad I had such a good meal my first dinner in London. read more

I stayed at a nearby hotel during my trip to London, and there was a decent sized queue in front of Paramount every evening so we decided to check it out for dinner. Modern and sleek, the restaurant was filled with a vibrant and buzzing atmosphere, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Paramount's menu boasts a large selection of food, so we ended up "family-style"-ing everything so we could try each dish. For my first time having Lebanese food, I didn't have much to compare it to, but every dish was delicious. My favorites were the shish tawouk (barbecue chicken breast), seabass, and the falafels. All of the meats were tender, and each dish was unapologetically flavorful. Prices for each dish were also extremely reasonable. Overall, Paramount is a warm and friendly spot in Paddington to grab a meal. Definitely a solid restaurant in the area. read more

All I can say is wow! As an avid Lebanese food eater I knew to expect excellence, but was completely blown away by this place. The food was incredible and the staff was so friendly. Honestly I would eat here every day for the rest of my life. read more

Great value of money here! The ingredients are always fresh and flavorful. Eat in and you get unlimited fresh homemade bread from the stone oven. The mixed mezze is my go -to. The chef chooses 5 veggie items and it comes with chicken and lamb. Never disappoints. I hope they stay in business because it is so delicious! Come try it. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Wet in with 3 people. A party of 8 and another of 2 got sat about the same time just after us. They were each greeted, served drinks, had their orders taken, etc. while my table never even got approached. This business is busy but it was rude and a waste of time so we left. Horrible service read more

We had one of the best meals of our entire London stay at Baba Ghanouj near the Gloucester tube station. My large saj chicken with garlic sauce was SO delicious. My husband loved his lamb chops, which were tender and perfect. We shared a dessert, which was a creamy custard topped with honey, pistachios and rose water - magnificent. This is the perfect spot for a late meal if you are staying at the Bailey Hotel. Highly recommend! read more

What a great meal! Hands down best falafel ever... everything we ordered was fresh and delicious. Friendly eclectic crowd and service! We are vegetarian so 5 stars in that regard as well - can't wait to go back - read more
