This is a new concept restaurant from Paramount Fine Foods. The restaurant is smaller and for more casual dining. There created Shawarma Pockets and Cones, while maintaining thei traditional Wraps and Bowls.
They soft-opened on 2025-06-30.
The Pockets and Cones are more affordable and can allow for a quick meal. In this instance, Yalla means "let's go".
I ordered the following:
1. Beef Shawarma Pocket ($7.99).
2. Shrimp Rice Bowl ($11.99).
3. Mushroom Bowl ($11.99).
4. Canned Pop ($2.50).
5. Rice Pudding ($5.99).
6. Mouhalabieh ($5.99).
7. Meghli ($5.99).
Obviously I didn't eat it all; I was bringing most of it home.
The Beef Shawarma Pocket is ingenious since that alone was good for lunch. The Beef Shawarma was delicious! The ingredients for the Shawarma has changed to now use Top Sirloin and Lamb Fat. Lamb fat is tastier and more moist than Beef fat.
The shrimps were perfectly grilled with accompanying sauces. The turmeric rice was fragrant and moist. The rice has 7 spices and cilantro in it.
The Meghli dessert was an amazing dessert. It is tasty and refreshing. It is said to have very healthy and energetic properties; women who recently gave birth would eat it to revive their energy. It has aromatic rice pudding, cinnamon, caraway, and anise, topped with crunchy nuts.
I will report about the other dishes when I try them at another time.
There is adequate indoor seating (tables and counters) and outdoor seating (two small tables).
The vibe is green and red, their restaurant colours.
Paramount features Lebanese and Syrian cuisine.
There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, but there is no door-open button. There are separate male/female washrooms downstairs, so they are not wheelchair accessible. There is paid neighbourhood street parking.
