Wow. What a lucky find. In the Union station basement food court in the corner south side of McDonalds. AWESOME OMG moment. So good, it's worth the walk from the convention center to get lunch and back to the convention. 2 things Father and I love. Dollar value and taste. Aiyub and friends made a meal worthy of a sit down night out. When you think it was a few dollar more than a McDonald's meal, why would any go else where. So it's now a go to. Before or after any down town event. Thank you Paramount. See you for lunch tomorrow!

I work nearby and have ordered catering from paramount a number of times. They are fantastic! Food is consistently delicious and orders are always timely. The staff are also such a joy; one gentleman in particular, Aiyub is so kind and considerate. Can’t recommend them enough!

Ordered the Spicy Chicken shawarma meal box, it was delicious! We were just visiting for a concert that day and wanted something better than generic “fast food”, this was a great option! Will definitely stop in again

It’s been a huge relief that I can have Paramount again after the closest locations to where i live closed down, especially since it’s one of my favourite franchises/restaurants. I’m so grateful that basically my whole time at uni I’ve been able to just order here and the people that work there are legit so amazing, they go above and beyond and they have a lot of heart. shout out to my man Aiyub for always remembering my order the second I stop by, but of course everyone there is just as fantastic. if union station is reading this PLS keep paramount in the food court i swear

If you’re a fan of mouthwatering Lebanese cuisine, you absolutely can’t skip Paramount! My all-time favorite is the Spicy Chicken Shawarma – it’s hands-down the best shawarma I’ve ever had. The flavors are out of this world, and you can taste the love in every bite. What really sets this place apart is the amazing service. The staff are super friendly and incredibly efficient. Shoutout to Mohammad,he is an absolute legend! He was so kind, thoughtful, and really know how to treat customers right. I love how they always ask for your preferences before preparing the food – it’s that attention to detail that makes the experience so special. The team here is fast, efficient, and totally on point. If you’re in a rush, they’ve got your back. Trust me, you don’t wanna miss this gem in your lifetime. Highly recommend grabbing a plate and soaking in the goodness. It’s not just food; it’s an experience!

Great food and service. The lamb chops are tender. And that kufta on fried eggplant is out of this world. The fresh baled bread was amazing and we ended the meal with nabulsi knafeh. Servers weee nice and attentive. My only feedback is that they don’t replace rice with salad. Instead you need to order salad separately and also get the rice.
